Grandmaster Sereff

 

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.

Master Neidig (VIII), Mrs Pam Neidig (VI) and Mr. Charles Avila (VI) sincerely thank Grandmaster Sereff, IX Dan, for his visit and personal instruction that was offered throughout the day for all the Trinity Taekwon-Do students. 

Here are some photo highlights of the event.
