We have special visitors today, (Kyo Sah Nim - Tae Kwon do teacher) Mr. Chhoeun Thy & his wife, Sun. We met Mr. Thy at 2017 Battle of Maine, he competed with some of JKA Maine's students; and started a good relationship. He came to class today to learn Shotokan waza, such as hip rotation and the importance of correct body mechanic leading to powerful waza. He attended the class with his white belt which signify his openness to learn a new art. Mr. Thy is a very humble man and a good role model. Thank you for visiting and training with us. We hope you enjoyed the training and see you again soon. OSS!
