Grand Master C.K. Choi Seminar 2024
Grand Master (GM) C.K. Choi avsluttet sin tur i Europa i Hammerfest, hjembyen til GM John hvor det ble avholdt tre dagers seminar med gradering. GM John ble her anerkjent som Grand Master (9 Dan) av GM C.K. Choi. Det er ubeskrivelig stort for oss at vår Grand Master har blitt møtt med denne anerkjennelsen og tillitt fra Tae Kwon Do legenden.
GM John skriver om GM C.K. Choi:
– GM Choi is the nicest person I know. The respect and trust he has shown and continues to show me is fantastic, and it is impossible for me to explain how much this means to me.
– I have met many, many Grand Masters and Masters in my career (…) The one that stands out to me, and all of my students, is without doubt, GM Choi, he is truly one of a kind. He sees everyone, and he treats everyone nice and fair. He is down to earth, talking to everyone, adult or kid, whitebelt or Master. He motivates you and pushes you beyond your current level, always with positiveness and a smile.
He makes everyone feel special, ignore no-one and is a living legend.
– I am lucky to have him as my Grand Master and my mentor, and to receive his approval as a 9th degree Grand Master was just magic.
– Now my circle is complete.
– GM JOHN
Før turen til Hammerfest tilbragte GM John en uke med GM C.K Choi. GM John assisterte først GM C.K Choi på seminarer i Wroclaw, Polen med flere hundre deltakere. Her deltok også Grand Master Ron Sergiew og Grand Master Gianni Peros fra TAGB (Tae Kwon Do Association of Great Britain).
Etter seminarene i Polen reiste GM C.K. Choi sammen med GM John til Norge hvor de ledet to seminarer i Oslo området, Askim og Skedsmo før de tok turen nordover til Hammerfest. Rundt 40 studenter deltok på hvert av de norske seminarene. Stor takk til GM Sigvald, Master Morten Sunset Larsen (Skedsmo) and Master John Arild Larsen (Askim) som arrangerte seminarene i Skedsmo og Askim.
