Have a Holly Judo Christmas!

I attended my judo school Christmas party and had a great and memorable time.  It was both and formal and laid back at the same time.  A time of eating, demonstrations, and quality moments with people I train with.  It was great to see how many people from all generations are closely tied to this school.  I'm proud to be part of it.  It has a long history deeply rooted in Korea's tradition for strong judo athletes.  Here is a video of the history of my my school.

Great young people and friends

My Judo School in Korea - Founded the Year of Korean Independence

I happen to be very fortunate to have a very historic judo school just blocks from my apartment in Korea.  It is very traditional and a fantastic place to learn judo and make lasting friendships.  I've benefited in so many ways by being a part of this school - both personally and physically.

The school has a rich history that dates back to the foundation of South Korea as a nation.  Having been founded originally in Japan, the roots of this school can be felt the moment you walk in, and show the depth of the sport in this country.  I could write endlessly about it, but instead I made a short video showing you around the inside, explaining some of the great things it has to offer and how it inspires me to be there.
