<strong>The</strong> members of the WTSDA have shown their selflessness by<br />
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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
