More on a very special Jung SuWon Warrior team...

I simply couldn't resist. I mean, wedding's don't just happen a lot these days, and at Jung Suwon, they are simply extraordinary. You saw the videos of the Bride and groom performing Martial Arts breaks in their wedding clothes.

However, they were not the only ones to be called up to perform. It was wonderful to see how everyone in attendance loved this wedding - so full of surprises, and so much showing what it means to be a Jung SuWon warrior, 24/7.

Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim always challenges us to be ready any time, any place, for just about anything.

Here you will see just such a situation:

More thoughts about a Jung Suwon Wedding

Like I mentioned in my last post, as a Jung SuWon student, you are ready for anything, anytime, whether it's at a testing or on your wedding day! Weddings are the start off point for a successful marriage, and is based on love.
Here is one of my most favorite quotes of all of Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim:

"Before you can express love, you must find love. You must know love within yourself before you can give it to another. When you recognize or experience the truth about yourself you automatically feel love, because love is a quality of your true consciousness and true ideas."
(Seven Steps to Inner Power, page 70)

And now for some really heartwarming short "wedding videos." Enjoy!

Something out of the Ordinary: a Jung SuWon style Wedding

A wedding between Jung SuWon Warriors is never anything predictable. We love to celebrate every living breath, and since Jung SuWon means the unity of body, mind, and spirit, as one, this of course also applies to all that happens in our lives. It is always something wonderful to see two people who love each other, make a commitment to each other.

I love Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim's quote as to what true love is:

"When you feel this Love, you're glad to be alive, and grateful to wake up every day and live your life. This Love finds beauty everywhere, and appreciates how creative life is, knowing that possibilities exist everywhere to create more joy and more happiness and more freedom. This Love can't be hurt or destroyed because it is pure energy. It can be temporarily clouded over, but not destroyed. When it is clouded over with negative emotions or painful situations, it keeps on loving until harmony is reached again. Because this love is real and true, it is powerful. It can overcome anything untrue simply by being there, just as the sunlight burns clouds away."
(The Silent Master, page 113)

And in closing this post, I couldn't resist showing you this video of the happy couple. Well, it's not from the wedding (it'll take some time to edit that one), but you can see what a true warrior couple is all about.....

Jung SuWon warriors - what it means during elections



As Jung Suwon Warriors, we don't just limit ourselves to being warriors in the Do Jang. To be a true Jung Suwon student and warrior, it means we practice what we learn throughout our lives, in all situations.

Take the upcoming elections for example. While I have, or course, my own opinion and my own decision as to whom I will vote for, I will not publish this here, nor will I endorse anyone candidate for any of the races.

But what I will do is emphasize that we not only have the right but also duty, to vote. "It is your personal choice what you do in your life", one of Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim's most published quotes, is true here as well.
As an immigrant into this great country, and now a naturalized citizen, I proudly cast my vote every time.

Please let's all go vote. Follow your heart and follow your dreams!
