<<Founder of Hanmudo and President of World Han Mu Do
Association , Dojunim Dr.He- Young Kimm will be in Singapore
on Nov.21-23 for the 3rd Singapore Hanmudo Seminar.>>
How many seminars taught by Dr. Kimm have you attended?

Answer to list question above:

Hanmudo was first introduced into Singapore in 1995 when Hapkido Shin Do
Kwan Singapore Chief Instructor Dr.Dennis Chua, invited GM Kimm to
Singapore for a Hapkido seminar.During the Seminar , GM Kimm also introduced
Hanmudo to the S'pore members.Eversince then,its members have converted to
Hanmudo.Prior to this,Dr.Chua was trained in Singapore by Korea Hapkido
Federation Demo Champion ,7th dan Master Kim Duc Soo( who is now 8th dan
Head of Bi-Loong Flying Dragon Hapkido Federation in Adelaide),and in USA by
GM Kwang Sik Myung of World Hapkido Federation,when Dr.Chua was with Sambup
Hapkido Singapore.In 1996,Hanmudo Association Singapore was formed from
Hapkido Shin Do Kwan Singapore. GM Kimm had given Singapore seminars in
1995, 1999 and now 2003.
Other than Singapore seminars, Dr.Dennis Chua had attended Hanmudo seminars
twice a year by Dr.Kimm at the World Hanmudo Association HQ in Baton Rouge
,USA,every year from 1996 to 1999, as well as in Korea during Dec from
1996-1999 with Singapore members.Besides this ,Dr.Chua also attended all the
3 International Korea Hanmudo Martial art Trip and seminars organised by GM
Kimm - 1st International Hanmudo Seminar in Korea ,and one in Korea with
China,and 3rd one in Korea-Japan in 1997,1998,1999.
Hanmudo members world wide are very fortunate to learn under GM Kimm,because
,as far as I know, he is the only grandmaster that brings u to see his
teachers in Korea,as well as learn from them , unselfishly.
To take a quote from one of his books
" if the water at the source is clear ,the water at the river below is also
clear"
