A message from Grand Master Dong
regarding the Tournament:
Thank you for helping to celebrate our 37th
year in the USA by participating
in our annual Children's Hospital
fund raising tournament. We are very proud
of our students, their parents,
families, friends and community for supporting
this very worthy cause. I believe
this gives the community the opportunity to experience the True Martial
Arts
Spirit.
The pinnacle goal of progressive Martial Arts is the achievement of true
selflessness. Only by willingly
giving of our time and talents can we improve
ourselves and our community. This is
but one example of the True Martial Arts Spirit. I believe that
progressive
Martial Artists must practice this spirit in everything
they do, wherever they may be.
Those who helped make this year's annual tournament a success have my
deepest appreciation. My thanks go
out to those who supported the fund
raising by purchasing advertising or
tickets. Special thanks to those who
volunteered their time and talents by
producing this year's program. Special
thanks also to the judges,
participants, and parents who helped to make this
a successful event. I hope this
selfless spirit can be carried by our younger
students to the next generation.
Together we can promote a more peaceful
society through progressive Martial
Arts.

Testimonial Letters
To: Dong's Karate School,As I advance from Black Tip to Bo
Dan, I look at what I have gained from
Dong's School. My initial
interest in Dong's was as an activity that my son
Cullen and I could share and
enjoy together. However, this initial interest has
grown into better mental and
physical health for myself as well as it has
given me a greater sense of
purpose and accomplishment from what I have
learned from Grand Master Dong,
the instructors and from being able to
assist others as a teaching
assistant in the classes.
Grand Master Dong's School has
provided me definite goals (e.g. stress
reduction, improved endurance,
belt advancement, etc.) and has helped me
in achieving these goals. It has
also allowed me to meet new people and
develop friendships where we work
to achieve the same goal of bettering
ourselves and helping others.
Sincerely,
Darrell Purcell
To: Dong's School,
Participating in Tae Kwon Do for
the past 11 years has allowed me to build
my level of discipline, and
permitted me to become stronger physically every.
As I have grown up, Tae Kwon Do
has built my respect for others and has
also allowed me to make some
great friends along the way. These amazing
people have supported me not only
in Tae Kwon Do, but in all of my
endeavors. My instructors and
other members of my class have supported
me academically, and in other
things. So far it has been a great experience
and has brought me to a new level
of discipline in life; I look forward to
consistently moving forward in
everything I try because of the foundation I
have in Tae Kwon Do. By
succeeding in Tae Kwon Do at Dong's, I have done
better in school, at home and in
many others aspects in my life. My grades
have improved, and my overall
health has improved as well.
