Two New Videos by SBN Huy Pham

Students,
Here are two HD vidoes of Sa Beom Nim Huy Pham doing the newer 18-moving Dan Bong Form and the Left-sided Guhm Moo Hyung. He performed the forms and slower than normal speeds so we could see his stances and hand movements more easily. To date, this is the only left-sided demonstration on the internet!

New Kids Class Hours

Effective November 1, 2009, the kids class will be from 6 pm to 7 pm on Tuesday and Thursday.

New Class Schedules as of July 20th 2009

Parents,

As I have already informed our students, we are about to change our class schedules starting next week. Class days will remain the same: Adults of Mondays/Wednesdays and Kids on Tuesdays /Thursdays. The Tuesday/Thursday classes will be split up into two classes. We will have ages 10 and under come from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. After that will be ages 11-13 from 6:35 pm to 7:35 pm. It does not matter what rank you are because this is based solely on age. This will help us divide up our students through age groups. Since there are a lot of younger students, we will be able to focus more time to helping those that need more attention and also help instruct the older students with fewer interruptions. The reason we are starting this new schedule early is so that everyone can get acclimated with the new schedule before school starts so there won't be problems in the future. Also, we are changing our Saturday class into a BLACK BELT CLASS. It will be from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm and offered only to BLACK BELTS with the exception of Black Brown Belts with our invitation only. If you have any questions or problems about the new times please come to talk to me. We are hoping this will benefit all our students.
Thank you.

BSBN Huy
