Winsdor Black Belt Testing and Seminar

On June 12^th and 13^th, 2009 Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Academy hosted a private black belt testing and Seminar. Several students tested for and achieved first to third degree. Master Cariati of the Woodbridge TKD and Woodbridge Martial Arts took precious time from his busy schedule to attend and conduct the technical portion of the seminar. Students in attendance were in awe with the delivery and explanation of the theory and application of each technique. Since the seminar I have heard an amazing response for an encore. We are so grateful to have Master Cariati as our leader in the organization. With over 35 years of training and vast amounts of technical training and travelling the world with the founder of Taekwon Do General Choi Hong Hi, we are humbled by Master Cariati’s knowledge and ability. With the unfortunate passing of our founder, we will not receive such expertise, except by his closest disciples. And in this we have found the best, Master Cariati. Tomorrow is promised to no one so we much take advantage of all life has to offer. I speak for The Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Academy when I say we wish we had the luxury of having Master Cariati’s instruction on a regular basis. Thos e whom choose to take Master Cariati’s time and availability for granted are naïve and do not realize the great resource they have before them. The Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Academy has always been grateful for Master Cariati accepting our club as part of his family. We look forward to many more training sessions and sharing of knowledge.  We offer a sincere thank you to you Master Cariati for sharing your time and wisdom with us. You truly are an amazing Leader.
