Anniversary - 25 years

Dear colleague, student and friend of the martial arts I want to share with you the immense happiness of being able to say today on April 5, 2008 that fulfills 25th anniversary of Ham Do.

To come after so much time up to this stage means to have learned of the martial arts, what means the effort, the responsibility, to hold the values and the principles to achieve a personal growth. Of course that I have not come alone until here, there were many people who in the good and the bad moments they were there for me in a way of full uncertainty.
I learned that to be a martial artist from the “nothing” costs if we are removed from our values, learned that the realizing of something are important if we can share these with others, learned that to leave a legacy allows to leave footsteps for the future of the next generations, that some day they will be part of this tour in which many, today we travel in the martial arts.

I thank to my teachers, pupils and instructors, and all the people who taught me their secrets, they encourage me and correct the course to continuing when I take some mistaken detour.
Many of you know me for being an organizer of events, teacher, executive, etc. But inside my interior, as a person, I take the firm commitment to live through the life of what I love, of that I can dream, of all that what allows me test myself and for especially what is significant inside the martial arts.

I write these lines in the present recalling a past full of stories and experiences of 28 years of tour in the martial way.

Today my desire was to share these words, tomorrow already it is another day to continue in this way to which I chose, and it will be like that until God decides that this game finishes.
Without more to say, thank you very much to all that somehow or other are with me. Thank you very much for accompanying and allowing me to cross a path which ends when we have decided to rest our interior being.

I want to make a toast for the friendship and that reigns the peace in the world.
Thank you and until the next time!!!

As they say in the India when the people are greeted …. NAMASTE!!
