Kukkiwon test for 6th & 7th Dan
Hi Senior Grandmasters, Grandmasters, Masters, Instructors Black Belts, and Students....
I hope this letter finds that everyone is in the best of health. On Friday, 13 January 2012 we will have a Kukkiwon test for 6th & 7th Dan. On Saturday 14 January 2012 we will have Hapkido training all day with a UHF & Korean KidoHae black belt test to follow. The deadline for pre-registration for the Hapkido seminar will be the 15th of December 2011. Remember the training is reserved for the first 30 people. We do this to keep the class size down for a better learning environment.
...Warmest regards, Ron Suggs

Master Podzaline new Website...
Hi all,  I just wanted to let every one know that my school finally has a web site thanks to the hard work of Frank Purbeck's wife Kaerece. It is still a work in progress but its worth checking out!! To all instructors I would like to link to your school web sites, please send me your web addresses and any others that you might recommend. You can find us on goggle at: South Sound Heuk Choo Kwan- Ji do Kwan. We had a problem when we originally put the address up so you may see up to three sites listed. Only one is the correct address. It is the one with Kwan spelled correctly! Hopefully we can get rid of the bad address' soon.  Please look at it and send me any comments or suggestions.

Thanks, Charles Podzaline

GM Suggs ~ appointments...
Dear Senior Grandmasters, Grandmasters, Masters, Instructors, and Students
I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Master Charles Podzaline to the position of West Coast Representative for the United Hapkido Federation. Master Podzaline has been my student since the mid 1980's and has stood by me.  Further, he helped me host the Korean National Team when I hosted them in 1987 in San Diego. I want to extend my best wishes to Master Bill Williams with his move to the great state of Connecticut.  Master Kennedy is our East Coast Representative and is doing a wonderful Job! I also want to welcome Master Mike Shaw of London, Ontario Canada to our organization. I am looking forward to working more with Master Jack Fennessy when he moves to Salem, Oregon soon. I have known him for many, many years going back to San Diego, California. I am very pleased that our organization continues to grow. We owe it to all of you for working together to benefit the common good for all.
Well Done!  
Warmest regards ~ Ron Suggs

2010 West Coast Annual Seminar results...
Hello Senior Grandmasters, Grandmaster, Masters, Instructors. and students
This years event was a big success! We had over 20 members during the two day event. I want to thank Master Wilson and Master Nesky for a job well done on promoting and hosting the event! In addition they both put on a interesting and exciting block of instruction. I wish that we could have had more members in attendance, however I know that everyone is dealing with time and financial issues. I hope that all members will be able to come and join me on the Central Oregon Coast for next years event. Next years event will be on the 4th & 5th of June 2011. At this event I will bring in some outside Grandmasters to conduct seminars. Don't miss this one!
Warmest regards  
Ron Suggs
