The Teachings of Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim

In Jung SuWon martial arts class, Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim really reached a deep cord within.
She reminded me of my childhood.  Probably not unlike others.  When I grew up, I loved my parents, but I was always looking for them to guide me, and help me.  They were always there.  They were a stabilizing force in my life.  As I got older, they passed away.  That is when I really when I started to appreciate them.  When you lose something, it is crazy, but that is when we usually appreciate and love more.  I love them so much for raising me, and loving me, and being there for me no matter what.  All they ever wanted is for me to grow up and have a better life then they did.  They gave so much for me, and at the time, I was too young to appreciate.  How I wish I could tell them how much I love them, and how much I thank them for everything.  I feel like my love has grown even stronger.

But Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim took this to another level.  What about God our father?  Isn't it similar.  He gave us life, and gives us our body, and mind, and spirit.  He gives us everything around us.  He is the stabilizing force in my life.  Whenever I am in trouble I look for his strength and help.  But as Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim pointed out, God loves us, but he needs us too.  How often do we tell him that we love him?  How often do we give back?

Just like our parents need us, and our love, and all they want to see is for us to do good things.  Don't you think God wants that too.  He gives us everything, but he needs our love also.  He wants us to love others, and love him.  Ah, I see now.  This was a deep revelation to me.  Unless we recognize this, God will be all alone.  Just like our parents, if we ignore them and go bad, we will disappoint them greatly.  Well, I don't want to disappoint my parents, and even more so, I don't want to disappoint God.  I (we) need to let God know our love for him, and we have to do good things to show him we hear him.

This is life changing for me.  Thank you Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim for your incredible wisdom.  I love God, I love you, and I love my life.  Now to share that with others, and make a positive difference in this world.  I want God and Great Grandmaster both to be proud of me someday.

With Love and honor,
Jung SuWon Instructor/ shs/ js!

Tonight I was in Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim's martial arts class.  The classes are held at Jung SuWon Academy of Martial Arts.  I must say being in martial arts class was great.  It is healthy, challenging, cleansing, meditative, and requires courage and determination.  Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim challenges us, and works us out hard.  It takes extreme concentration and is very physically demanding.  My temp goes up, I sweat like crazy.  It is hard to explain, but it is such a wonderful and fulfilling way to spend the evening.  Just perfect. I remember in the Last Samari, when the head of the clan was commenting on the cherry blossoms.  It was perfect.  That is how I feel.  Thank you Dr. Tae Yun Kim.

Hi All,

A very strange set of events happened.  A parent called and said that her son, 16 years old had passed away.  He used to train at our martial arts school when he was 6 years old.  He love training, but his family had to move and he stopped training.  Sometime along the way he got leukemia and passed away.  How tragic and sad.  His mother wanted to commit suicide.  The pain was so great, and her love so strong, she just wanted to be with her son.  During the night in her dreams, her son came to her in a Jung SuWon Martial Art uniform, and said mommy, see I can run and jump and I am very happy again.  Please don't kill yourself.  Be happy, for I am very happy.

What an incredible story.
1. Look at how important martial arts was in this young boy's life.  Many times we take this for granted.

2. Look at how fast disease can take our health and our loved ones away.  We have to develop spiritual bonds of love and connection that will live forever.  We have to realize our time is very limited and appreciate each other more.

3. Look at how the world is spiritual, and how special messages and visions came come to us in our dreams.

It is all very inspiring.  I makes me want to train more.  To appreciate and love more. and to get more spiritual.  Also, I value my martial arts training so much more.  Move and learn.  Develop and have fun while you can.

Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim was the master instructor to this little boy, and I really appreciate how much love and energy she puts into each one of us.  Thank you HJN. Also, thank you for your incredible products (NorthStar Productions).  I really hope that you make more.

Thank you for your incredible videos on youtube on Ki-Energy.  They are very powerful and deeply relaxing.

Thank you Dr. Kim for creating a company with a vision to better mankind.  
Keep up the good work Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim.  You are awesome.

Best Regards, :) :) :)

It has been along time since I posted.  Well, the last couple of years were some of the worst financial times in our history.  It felt like we were going through a war.  Looking back those are some of the hardest times, but they are also some of the most rewarding times.  All my martial arts training helped me keep a positive attitude, and to bring up my energy to fight back and survive.  We were in survival mode the last few years.  I am so grateful to the very intense training I have received from Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim.  She is powerful and intense and drives you hard.  Sometimes in workouts, I felt like I was going to drop.  But she knows her students limitations.  She knew I could take it and come out stronger.  I thought I would drop, but she knew that she had to take me to that limit to really find that true inner strength.  I am so grateful to Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim for that.  She is one of a kind.  She shouts out, "He can do, she can do, why not me!", and really means it.  She injects that indomitable spirit into each of us.  I am so fortunate to have become a student of my master.  If you ever find a good coach or good master instructor, do everything you can to learn, and then try to help others.  This type of knowledge can't really be passed on by reading.  You have to train hard and earn it.  You can read the words, but to feel it and experience it, you have to physically and mentally train hard to get those inner rewards.  On top of that, Dr. Tae Yun Kim has connected me more to God, and I have found God in my life.  Now I truly see and feel everything coming together.  God gave us great gifts to discover and use to help others.  I will now work the rest of my life to keep helping others, and to promote the training of Jung SuWon Martial Art Academy.   From the bottom of my heart - Thank you Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim for everything you have done for me and others.  You are God's gift to us.  You are a beautiful, wise and loving person.  Sincerely - thank you.

I Cannot Wait Until Tomorrow

"I Cannot Wait Until Tomorrow", is another powerful phrase in Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim's song call Universal Heart. The more time passes, the more I realize that there may not be a tomorrow. We have to train, and workout and be discipline towards our goals now. Live your life now! Do meaningful things now. Everything is constantly changing. The environment, your body, your situation, your finances, and more. You may have been able to take a vacation 2 years ago, but now with the recession there is no way. You might have been able to workout last year, but this year your knees hurt, and your body isn't cooperating. GGM Tae Yun Kim has always said that time is her greatest enemy, and now I am just starting to see and feel that myself. As I review my life, I have unknownly wasted many years, and that time is wasted for ever. It is a very expensive lesson. Don't let that happen to you. Take charge of your life. Add love and balance to your life. Be good and honorable to others.

At a recent Jung SuWon Belt Ceremony 3/14/2009, Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim led a most incredible event. Bringing up that "Can Do" Energy, and injecting it into the students and parents spirits. It was great to be a part of. I only wish more people could be part of that very special energy. I was watching the Super Nanny the other night. Many families have problems with their children's behavior, and yet when I see how well behaved the children at Jung SuWon are, I say to myself that all parents should know more about the children of Jung Suwon.

I was thinking more deeply about the passing of time and our responsibilities as instructors. We must help the children learn and grow into strong disciplined and confident people. As I see the younger students involved in good martial arts training, it helps build their bodies and minds. It helps shape them into better human beings. I feel and incredible feeling to help children more and to teach even more.

Remember your responsibility as a Jung SuWon Martial Arts Instructor is to make a postive difference in this world. With love and purpose in your heart, give each class and each student your very best. It is awesome to watch Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim do this. She is really good at teaching and inspiring people.

Jung Su!

Have a Dream and the Will to Follow.

What happens when you get so busy, that you can't find time to workout anymore? What happens when your environment and situation dominate your time and your mindspace? What happens when you are in a financial crisis and it requires all your time to just survive? What happens when you look back and findout your you have gained 30 pounds and your health is slipping away?

This is not uncommon among people today. One thing that has always helped me is to go back to my roots as a martial arts student. When I was training, and when I was in shape, I was the happiest. My mind and body were on a high. I felt like I could conquer and overcome anything. Now is time my friend. Do whatever you can to get back in shape. Don't let others rob your health, and spirit and dreams.

I was remembering a great song that Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim taught me, Universal Heart. The first part is: "I have a dream and the will to follow, I am aware of the power in me. I can not wait until tomorrow. I must act now if I want to be free. ..." The drums are playing to it, and it is an energetic song. I can feel the power rising up inside.

If you never have heard the song go to the Jung SuWon Martial Academy to learn the martial arts and ask about the song. And then think about making your dreams come true. Don't let your dreams slip away. Or you can go to Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim's website, or the Jung SuWon Website, or Great Grandmaster's product website, called Northstar Productions.

Remember your dreams. You have the power within you. Do it now...!

Jung Su! and here are some awesome videos for your pleasure.

Take care of your health during a recession

Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim had a great lecture the other night about the recession. Most people are stressed. Over 4 Million people are out of jobs and unemployment is growing. Fear, anger and depression are growing. Suicides are up.

One of the best ways to help make it through the recession is to be disciplined about your training, says Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim. Be very disciplined about working out 3 to 5 times a week. At Jung SuWon Academy we emphasize this to our students. By working out, they will feel better about themselves. They will shed stress and feel stronger, and that will give them to extra energy to deal with a growing negative environment.

Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim dealt with very negative circumstances growing up and all her life. She faced war, and prejidice, and jealousy, and still faces that even today. One of the best ways to deal with that, is to focus on self-improvement. By building your self-confidence and positive energy, more people will want to be near you and you can create your own positive energy for you and your family.

So at Jung SuWon we encourage and motivate our students to train hard, be disciplined, and take charge of their life and the times. Tough times will pass, and it takes tough people to make it through. Be a warrior and champion of your life. Jung Su!
