NPVT Local Committee In Action Lemners Soo Bahk Do Chief Instructor: Steven Lemner Sa Bom Nim I am very honored to share with you the history of our studio and PVT. The studio began in 1986 in a small garage in my first home. Starting with 10 students, training in a hot small space for two years, was a test of our foundation and strength. The studio grew very quickly. I started with one class two times a week made up of high school students that turned into 3 classes a night, two times a week. When the small studio became too much to hold the ever building membership, I called the students together and we decided it was time to rent a building. I knew very little about running a business. My full time job as a surgical technician for the past 30 years did not prepare me for the growth of my personal business. We moved to a bigger building, a larger old 4 bay garage! The running jokes were you could train and get your oil changed at the same time. But the amazing thing that grew from these small beginning was the courage and fortitude of the students. They came when it 95 degrees and they came when the winter winds ripped through the doors. I knew then that it was the love of the art that brought them and we became a family, bonded by the Art. Over three years our membership grew to 60 students and I then decided to move to a nicer building for our Moo Do family and the root of our PVT Committee was born. Three years before Kwan Jang Nim’s first Vision Tour we began a “Family Council” and a “Dan Bu”. I put these two groups together to help our studio grow in both the public eye and membership. The role of the “Family Council” was to organize the family activities of the studio. This included family picnics, parent’s nights, guest nights, Halloween parties, and Christmas parties. The role of the “Dan Bu” was to aid the students in the learning process and also laid the foundation to helping them build into Kyo Sa’s and Sa Bom’s. They taught clinics, held our summer camps and 12 and 24 hour marathons and training classes. When Kwan Jang Nim came to our region, we were the studio that had the honor of hosting the event and 230 students and family members turned out! When talking to Kwan Jang Nim, he acknowledged the involvement of our family members, stating that there were just as many family members as there were students. I then decided to combine our two committees into one, forming the Family PVT. Beginning this year, our PVT went to a new level. Our PVT Chairperson, Darci Goodknecht, suggested that we join the local Chamber of Commerce. She has many years of experience with this group through her job. We were invited to perform at their Chamber Gala which is a major fundraising event that benefits needy families and local support groups. Our demo was a huge hit! The calls stared coming in and the year took off with 4 times the events that we had the year before. Parades, demos, talks, fundraisers, and self-defense clinics for womens groups brought our connection with the public to a whole new level. We now have 2 events every month, for both inner and outer functions, to maintain and to grow our studio. We were even asked to run part of the security for the town’s annual festival. This is a 5 day event attend by well over 50,000 people and our students provided 130 hours of “guarding” the 4 entrances. For their work the festival committee donated $1,300 to help our students in any way we needed. They also presented us with a $500 donation to help kids in the area to train in Soo Bahk Do because of our many years of supporting the event. Through our demos and participation in the grand parade our values became visible. More than just a martial arts demo, we had a spirit of humanity. Our membership this year has been growing on a consistent upswing. We have had 25 new members join and have also maintained our current membership. We also put together a plan to motivate our Dan members to actively participate on all team events at this year’s national festival. Our PVT held multiple events to raise funds for all our team members to attend this year’s festival during these very trying times. We are very proud in the fact that this year we will reach our 100 th Dan member. We continue to grow thanks to the spirit of our Family PVT committee. The key to our team is the combined thoughts and action by both non-members (parents) and student members that make up the team. This partnership keeps our team fresh with new ideas. I would have not been able to accomplish my personal vision if it were not for these driven, dedicated members. Our members feel that this new requirement of visible action of your Moo Do values is what sets us apart from other martial arts. Ours is an art that takes the philosophy, creates our tradition, based on its history. We stand proud to call ourselves Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan, an art of visible humanity forged in the fires of our training. 16 Thank you for the opportunity to share the history of our studios family PVT committee, we look forward to making Kwan Jang Nim’s vision known in our community, so that they say ‘that’s Soo Bahk Do, Moo Duk Kwan’.
