First Graduate of Advanced Chief Instructor Program

When I first began this program, my perception of Choi Kwang Do was just basic techniques along with patterns and speed drills.  I had no idea what new doors were about to be opened before me.  Choi Kwang Do is a revolutionary martial art that is on par with the scientific community.  Every component of Choi Kwang Do has been designed with one thing in mind, optimum health.  The written material that is provided to us clearly and precisely explains the health benefits of Choi Kwang Do.  Sahjonim meticulously breaks down each component of Choi Kwang Do and shows how it can benefit our body and mind.  Although we cannot reverse aging, we can prevent decay.  Sahjonim explains how our body is a respondent servant of our mind and it can be reprogrammed for optimum health.  From conditioning our central nervous system to explaining the natural acceleration and deceleration of our techniques, Sahjonim demonstrates how we can achieve the maximum health benefits through practicing Choi Kwang Do movements on a regular basis.  I never imagined that I would be able to explain to students why stretching is good for them, how it can increase their flexibility and promote healthy joints and muscles.  This program is giving me the knowledge to do this. 

The Choi Kwang Do International Advanced Chief Instructor Diploma program is better than any educational program/training I have ever had in my life.   From military training to college education, this program by far has more benefits and life changing information then all of them combined.   I did mention the written material that was provided to us, but, it is also accompanied by media footage.  Having visual reinforcement of what we are learning through our reading provides another level of learning.  Sahjonim inspires me with his words then leaves me in awe with his precise techniques.   During the Choi Kwang Do International Advanced Chief Instructor Diploma program we were provided the opportunity to train one on one with Sahjonim.   My techniques were closely analyzed and Sahjonim himself made on the spot corrections.  To be able to have the best living martial artist in the world teach you his art, give correction and encouragement is a once in a lifetime opportunity.  My techniques have improved 100% since I started this program.  I have better full range of motion, my perception of how the techniques should be performed has increased and my self confidence has soared through the roof.

You cannot put a price on what Sahjonim has provided to his faculty members.  His passion for people and his devotion to spreading this martial art is simply humbling.   The Choi Kwang Do International Advanced Chief Instructor Diploma program has provided me with the information on how to promote optimum health, how to add pain free years to my life, and the importance of a regular routine of the Choi Kwang Do system.  Everyone is looking for the fountain of youth.  You need to look no further.  Choi Kwang Do is the martial art for life.
