Many Instructors, Much Personal Attention
The instructional staff will be exceptional with master instructors and Olympic medalists in taekwondo and judo.
Other instructors included Dr. Edward Lee (grandmaster in judo and taekwondo), Dr. Norman Link (7th degree black belt in yongmudo and Assistant Director of UCMAP), and Dr. Russell Ahn (7th degree black belt in taekwondo and Director of UCMAP). This combination of instructors ensured that participants received a great deal of personal attention and instruction.
