answering our call for help by making donations in the amount of<br />

$6,981.81. <strong>The</strong>se monies were raised from donations of our members<br />

in September and sent to the Region #6 Director for disbursement to<br />

our members who were personally affected in Louisiana and<br />

Mississippi.<br />

REGION 4<br />

LATOYA DEESE<br />

LaToya Deese, 1st gup, Karate Masters, was awarded $500.00 for the year 20<strong>05</strong>. She currently<br />

attends Houston Baptist University with a concentration in Entrepreneurship.<br />

LaToya was six when she began training at Milberger’s <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong>, September 1993. She<br />

had problems with a bully at school that would constantly tease her. Some of the selfdefense<br />

techniques she learned were particularly helpful. Mr. Milberger changed to <strong>Soo</strong><br />

Bahk <strong>Do</strong> under the Moo Duk Kwan Federation. She left MDK as a 1 st Gup due to a Dan testing<br />

conflict. Her mother helped her join Karate Masters three months later. She retested<br />

for 1 st Gup under the <strong>World</strong> <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> <strong>Association</strong> with Master Sharpe as her instructor. She enjoys Karate<br />

Masters a lot better because it’s mostly based on survival.<br />

Quote from Scholarship Essay:<br />

“Out of nowhere, a boy ran beside me and kept ramming himself into me. About halfway across the field, I collapsed<br />

into the dry grass and lost one of my teeth… <strong>The</strong> same kid constantly bullied me, teased me and frequently<br />

stole my lunch. “At that point, my mom decided to enroll me in karate. In September 1993, I began training at<br />

Milberger’s <strong>Soo</strong> Bahk <strong>Do</strong> where I gained knowledge in self-defense… <strong>The</strong> next time I had a confrontation with<br />

him, he tried to punch me, but I blocked it and caught him in an arm-lock. I enjoyed hearing him cry for his mother<br />

while other kids witnessed the situation and applauded. I had no problems with him after that.”<br />

REGION 20<br />

MEGAN BORREE<br />

Megan Borree, Allied Gardens <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> Karate Academy, was awarded $1,000 for the<br />

year 20<strong>05</strong>. She is currently attending Grossmont Community College (TAG Program) then<br />

to all students.<br />

Quote from Scholarship Essay:<br />

“I have a huge respect for all of the people who have the courage to stand in front of a panel of judges and do a<br />

form with their whole spirit. I am always amazed and inspired by the dedication of some students, especially<br />

those in the older divisions, who don’t let anything stop them; they just train because they love to train. This is<br />

the incredible spirit of <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> that has probably had the biggest affect on me and given me the most from<br />

my training.”<br />

Region 8<br />

Scholarship<br />

Weekend<br />

Coping with Violence and Terror<br />

after Katrina<br />

Self-defense classes help residents reclaim their community.<br />

ow! What a weekend. During<br />

W<br />

the Region 8 Championship<br />

on October 14-15, 20<strong>05</strong> our<br />

Regional Scholarship<br />

Committee had a very busy weekend.<br />

Those in attendance for one of our<br />

biggest Regional tournaments on record<br />

were able to see the fundraising efforts of<br />

the committee and the presentation of<br />

awards to two very dedicated students.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fundraising effort started Friday<br />

evening when the Scholarship table was<br />

set up and we began selling the Master’s<br />

Trading cards and our new sports bottles<br />

with <strong>Association</strong> and Foundation logos.<br />

<strong>The</strong> table was busy throughout the<br />

evening and all day Saturday selling merchandise,<br />

facilitating the trading of cards<br />

between avid collectors and selling 50/50<br />

tickets. Many to Ms. Linda Russo, Mr.<br />

Benjamin Haas, Ms. Amy Ilko, and Ms.<br />

Jenna Giraulo for their assistance at the<br />

table during the weekend. While the<br />

table was taking care of walk up business<br />

Ms. Julia Harvey was making the rounds<br />

through the stands selling 50/50 raffle<br />

tickets and Ms. Vilma Reinard was selling<br />

sports bottles throughout the crowded<br />

room. Through the collective efforts<br />

of all involved at the table and in the<br />

crowd we were able to raise over $1800<br />

for the Region 8 Scholarship Fund.<br />

<strong>The</strong> highlight of the weekend happened<br />

during the opening ceremonies<br />

when Scott Jones of Northern Star<br />

Karate and Angelica Evangelista of Pal<br />

Che <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> were presented with<br />

our most recent Scholarship Awards.<br />

Each received a certificate and a check<br />

for $1,500 from Grandmaster Shin. Mr.<br />

Jones and Ms. Evangelista are outstanding<br />

examples of the ideals promoted by<br />

the <strong>World</strong> <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> <strong>Association</strong> and<br />

<strong>World</strong> <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> Foundation. We are<br />

proud to be able to offer them this assistance<br />

professional dreams.<br />

SCHOLARSHIP CHAIRMAN<br />

fter Hurricane Katrina, gangs<br />

A<br />

terrorized the weak, the young<br />

and the old. As dehydration<br />

became another horror to deal<br />

with, starting with the elderly and then the<br />

newborn, the AP <strong>news</strong> agency reported<br />

that some survivors were determined to<br />

defend their neighborhoods and their<br />

lives. “We kind of together decided we<br />

would defend what we have here and we<br />

would stay up all night every night” said<br />

army veteran Charlie Hackett.<br />

It seems unreal but imagine for a<br />

moment your town being flooded and told<br />

to find a way to your local high school for<br />

federal aid and that help is coming.<br />

However, days later you realize the authorities<br />

simply forgot about you, leaving you<br />

without food, water, toilets, electricity or<br />

protection from the thugs. Your local high<br />

school would eventually turn into a violent,<br />

lawless, third world jungle, where the weakest<br />

and most defenseless would perish from<br />

the heat, lack of food, water, intimidation,<br />

violence and murder from these thugs.<br />

What We Can <strong>Do</strong> To Help<br />

<strong>Do</strong>nate Money<br />

Please give to any organization. See the<br />

shaded box on this page for a few organizations.<br />

For further information: visit the<br />

National Voluntary Organizations Active<br />

in Disaster (NVOAD). <strong>The</strong> WTSDA has<br />

members in the Katrina disaster area that<br />

provide the teachings of <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> martial<br />

arts. <strong>The</strong>se schools need our help. <strong>The</strong><br />

money we collect will go to the WTSDA to<br />

help our brother and sisters affected by<br />

hurricane Katrina.<br />

Offer Free Self Defense Classes<br />

Master Williamson offers Free Self<br />

Defense Class to the community. He<br />

emphasizes that, just like CPR, individuals<br />

should update their skills every few years.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y may have taken a self-defense course<br />

years ago, but new approaches and dangers<br />

are out there. Here is some wording he<br />

uses to promote his self-defense classes:<br />

“Not only will a self-defense class refresh<br />

your skills, but it will also renew your selfconfidence.<br />

After role-playing and being<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is still much to be done to help<br />

the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Many<br />

have already shown their true spirit of<br />

<strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> brotherhood with a donation<br />

through their studio or club. You<br />

can too or contact the following:<br />

“attacked” from all angles and in different<br />

situations, you will feel more confident as<br />

you leave class or work in the yard. You’ll<br />

learn how to effectively strike, yell, kick<br />

and avoid attackers. In today’s society it<br />

takes more than just staying out of dark<br />

alleys to avoid possible assailants. It takes<br />

self-confidence.<br />

This isn’t a confidence that says, “Go<br />

ahead, and attack me. I can take you.” It’s<br />

a confidence that comes from knowing<br />

you have taken control of a possible situation<br />

and that no matter what the outcome<br />

of an attack, you have given yourself<br />

all the tools possible to assist you in making<br />

decisions about fleeing, negotiating or<br />

fighting.<br />

It allows you to feel more confident<br />

when you’re outside, shopping or even<br />

doing reports at work. It allows you to feel<br />

in control at meetings, with co-workers<br />

and with yourself.<br />

An added bonus is that this new selfconfidence<br />

encourages you to stick to that<br />

diet or exercise program, ask for a promotion,<br />

head that committee or do something<br />

you have put off because you didn’t<br />

feel you were ready.<br />

<strong>Do</strong> something for yourself. Support<br />

the relief efforts of hurricane Katrina and<br />

bring a friend and attend our free selfdefense<br />

class. After all, you’re worth it.”<br />

Kids Band Together to Support the<br />

Building Fund<br />

afiya Khan, 9 year old daughter<br />

of Masters Mujahid and<br />

S<br />

Dawn Khan of Great Britain,<br />

came up with a great idea<br />

recently which she shared with WTSDA<br />

Headquarters when she visited there<br />

recently.<br />

She said that lots of kids want to donate<br />

money to the building fund but don't have<br />

the $40 necessary to buy a brick like the<br />

adults do.<br />

However, many of them do have pocket<br />

money and many of them do love those<br />

rubber wrist bracelets which are being sold<br />

in different colors for many different charities.<br />

Why didn't the WTSDA come up with<br />

one so the kids could donate their money<br />

and show their pride of helping with the<br />

WTSDA Building Fund efforts by wearing<br />

the bracelets? What a great idea!!<br />

So, we know have a red rubberized<br />

bracelet (see Safiya's right wrist in the<br />

photo) that is being sold at all regional<br />

events at the building fund tables or can<br />

be purchased through your instructors.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y sell for $5 each and have the words<br />

"<strong>World</strong> <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> Foundation" on it.<br />

Kids, show your pride in our Art and<br />

wear your proud colors today!<br />

A FASHION STATEMENT AND A<br />

FUND-RAISER!<br />

Safiya Khan sports a rubberized bracelet<br />

embossed with <strong>World</strong> <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong><br />

Foundation lettering. Proceeds from the<br />

bracelets, selling for $5, benfit the<br />

through your instructors.<br />

Kickin’Out Katrina<br />

Students aged 4 and up raise over $2,500 during Kick-a-thon for Hurricane Katrina Relief.<br />

tudents of the Villa Park<br />

S<br />

Karate Club participated in a<br />

"Kick-a-Thon" to raise funds<br />

for the victims of hurricane<br />

Katrina. <strong>The</strong> event took place Sept. 25,<br />

at the Iowa Community Center in Villa<br />

Park, IL.<br />

Head instructor Tony Perkins (Sam<br />

Dan), and assistant instructor, Mindy<br />

Perkins (Cho Dan), challenged the students,<br />

ages 4 & up, to solicit sponsors/<br />

donations and kick their way to the club’s<br />

$2000.00 pledge goal. It was an energetic<br />

and fun filled event featuring music, giant<br />

tote boards, cheering parents & grandparents,<br />

and oh yes, lots of kicking.<br />

By the end, the students even "kicked<br />

out" the goal by raising over $4,600.00<br />

for the American Red Cross Disaster<br />

Relief Fund.<br />

Mr. and Mrs. Perkins extended their<br />

heartfelt thanks to all the students, parents,<br />

donors and sponsors for making<br />

the event such a huge success.<br />

Tired, but very happy students of the advanced kids/adult class after a long evening of<br />

Breaking Boards to Beat Cancer<br />

GTMA-Linden students raise over $800 during Relay for Life.<br />

tudents and families of the<br />

S<br />

Grand Tradition Martial<br />

Arts/Linden club of<br />

Linden, Michigan participated<br />

in the American Cancer<br />

Society’s “Fenton – Relay for Life”<br />

event at the Fenton High School on<br />

June 25 and 26, 20<strong>05</strong>.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 24 hour event ran from 2:00<br />

PM on Friday through 2:00 PM on<br />

Saturday. Community committee<br />

planning for the event had begun at<br />

least one year prior to these dates.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Linden club began their efforts<br />

approximately 2 months ago. <strong>The</strong><br />

club raised funds through a bottle<br />

drive, as well as through on-line<br />

requests, luminaria sales and regular<br />

donation solicitations.<br />

Instructor, 4th Dan Mr. Chris<br />

Anderson and several students,<br />

ranging in rank from 7th Gup to 6th<br />

Gup and ranging in age from 9 to 11,<br />

also contributed by breaking boards<br />

for $5.00 each, to the wild amazement<br />

of the crowds who gathered to<br />

watch the demonstration! <strong>The</strong> total<br />

amount raised by students of<br />

GTMA-Linden was $863.00! Not<br />

bad for a first year team. <strong>The</strong> entire<br />

Relay group raised over $144,000 for<br />

cancer research.<br />

<strong>The</strong> experience was challenging,<br />

fun, touching, thought provoking,<br />

and rewarding. It provided an<br />

opportunity for the club to do something<br />

together, besides karate – to<br />

promote community spirit.<br />

Karate brought us together, and<br />

together we contributed to a very<br />

worthwhile community project. It<br />

was exciting to be a part of the event,<br />

and even more exciting, at the end of<br />

24 very hot and humid hours, to hear<br />

the conversation turn to talk of “how<br />

we can do better next year”!<br />

Breaking boards for $5<br />

each, members of the<br />

Grand Tradition Martial<br />

Arts/Linden Club (Linden,<br />

MI) raised $863 for the<br />

American Cancer Society.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 24 - hour event proved<br />

to be challenging and fun<br />

for all!<br />

<strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> Tapestry<br />

A student’s high school project becomes a labor of love and a fund-raiser for the Building Fund.<br />

y name is Genevieve<br />

M<br />

McGuigan. I train at<br />

Brandywine Martial Arts in<br />

Pennsylvania with Mr. And<br />

Mrs. Peterman. I have been studying<br />

there for almost seven years. When I<br />

thought about my high school graduation<br />

project, <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> popped into<br />

my head.<br />

My mother and I came up with the<br />

idea of making a <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> related<br />

quilt. We put our talents together to<br />

make something beautiful.<br />

My mother and I<br />

came up with the<br />

idea of making a<br />

<strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong><br />

related quilt.<br />

We put our<br />

talents together<br />

to make something<br />

beautiful.<br />

First, I had to go to my instructor and<br />

tell him my plan of making a quilt and<br />

using it to raise money for the Building<br />

Fund. This was very important because a<br />

student of <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong> should do nothing<br />

without the permission of their<br />

instructor.<br />

I also needed permission from<br />

Grandmaster Shin. <strong>The</strong>n, and only then,<br />

I could proceed. I was able to get their<br />

permission after showing them my<br />

drawings of how it would look and I<br />

began my project.<br />

Making the quilt was a long and<br />

organized process. I did one step at a<br />

time and also took my time so that I did<br />

not get frustrated. My mother and<br />

instructors were a major help to me. I<br />

How does a high school project become a work of art and a fund-raiser for the<br />

Building Fund? Region 8 student, Genevieve McGuigan, along with the help of her<br />

mother and instructors constructed a beautiful quilt that was used in a raffle to raise<br />

$3,125 for the Building Fund.<br />

could not have done it without them.<br />

When the quilt was completed, I<br />

could start raising money for the<br />

Building Fund. My instructor, Mr.<br />

Peterman, contacted Ms. Gonski and<br />

Master Kaye, chairman of the Building<br />

Fund Committee to help with the raffle<br />

ticket setup.<br />

Some of my classmates from<br />

Brandywine Martial Arts helped to sell<br />

tickets; we sold them at the Region 8<br />

Black Belt test and at the Region 8<br />

Championship. We raised $3125.00!<br />

I had a lot of help with my graduation<br />

project. This was a great honor and I got<br />

a chance to meet a lot of key people in<br />

our <strong>Association</strong>.<br />

I hope that you decide to help raise<br />

money for the Building Fund. My graduation<br />

project was a major success. Now<br />

- what can you do for <strong>Tang</strong> <strong>Soo</strong> <strong>Do</strong>?<br />
