A gathering of SMK Grandmaster & Masters for some camaraderie and remembrance. Plus a bit of organizational information.

This will be held on Sunday 3/6 at 10:30 EST at
Don Tequila Grill
5625 Woerner Temple Rd
Dublin, OH 43016

You can let us know that you’ll be attending by selecting “going” on the Facebook event page. 

Again, I’m here asking for help to collect history and lineage information. That is one of the main goals for WSMKU!
As part of this, I’m hoping to find Masters and student who are willing to research their branch of Song Moo Kwan! That research will become part of the information available on this site. Additionally, I hope that the information will help others find their way back to the family!

I have a Google form set up to collect initial information – Song Moo Kwan Background
Please go out and complete it. I may have additional questions for you once I get your responses.

In the meanwhile, I’m updating the lineage chart (found here) to have more appropriate field names.

We currently have information from the following branches (but there’s much more that should be shared).

10th Dan SGM Joon Pyo Choi
9th Dan SrGM Jun Seon Hyon
9th Dan SrGM Il Kwon Kim
9th Dan SrGM Il Joo Kim
9th Dan SrGM Song Do Chung
9th Dan SrGM Byung Yul Lee

I plan to expand the website to provide information about each these first generation students plus their students. If you want to get listed, provide information!
