On Saturday, July 25, 2009 Grandmaster C.E. Sereff, IC Dan, visited Trinity Taekwon-Do to share his experience, vision and guidance for all Trinity students.
This was a tremendous opportunity for all Trinity black belts and color belt students to have the chance to learn Taekwon-Do from a true Taekwon-Do pioneer, Master Neidig's Instructor and, respectfully, our "Taekwon-Do Grandfather".
Over sixty (60) students attended the three (3) hour class during which Grandmaster Sereff, IX Dan, focused on key concepts as: Taekwon-Do Tenets - Sine-wave motion - Proper execution of patterns - Jump Kicking - Breaking - Ho Sin Sul and more.
