MSK Summer Expo XXX Recap!

This year's Moo Sul Kwan Summer Expo XXX was fantastic!   This year's Expo theme was, "Keeping it to the Grindstone."  The many different classes, seminars and events kept this important theme in mind.

From the moment students, instructors,family members and friends arrived at Beaver Run Resort in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado, the excitement, learning and fun began!  President of Moo Sul Kwan and the American Martial Arts Sports and Education Association, Charles F. Hildebrand was this year's special Expo XXX guest instructor.

The action began on Friday evening with a demonstration by members of the CTI Black Belt Team that is journeying to South Korea, later this month.  The demo was followed by the first round of Expo XXX classes.

MSK Expo XXX

Saturday began early with some 6:00 AM black belt training, followed by red belts at 7:00 AM.  Classes resumed at 8:00 and went through the day.  Classes included topics like; poomse, sparring, breaking, one-step sparring, self-defense, advanced training, a special Expo craft, art and so much more.

At each MSK Summer Expo, there are always special classes dedicated to parent education.  The Expo Parent Classes, taught by some of our highest instructors, were very well attended with classes involving; Parent's Self-Defense, Parent Cardio Workout, Parent to Parent Discussion and a lecture on What it Takes to Achieve a MSK Black Belt.

The annual Saturday evening Expo Banquet and Party took place with loads of fun and entertainment.  After a very tasty dinner, CTI Campus Expo Skits took place.  Always upping the ante, this year the Expo entertainment involved skits having
to do with the Black Belt Team trip to South Korea, using a famous play as a guide.  The first skit was based on Grease, by the CTI Golden Campus.  The next skits presented were based on West Side Story (Golden), Willy Wonka (Green Mountain), The Wizard of Oz (Westminster) and Annie (Conifer).

In between and after all the skits were performed, Bruce, Thomas and Black Belts in Plaid (our MSK black belt band) played music for everyone.

Sunday morning brought the Amazing Moo Sul Race 10!  Competitors were placed on teams and through a series of clues, made their way to the town of Breckenridge and back while performing all sorts of challenges.  The winning time was just over two hours.

Some of the other dynamic Expo Instructors include:  Master Merinda Sautel, Master John Sautel, Master Erik Albrechtson and 4th dans Freddy Sautel, Clayton Garner and Alice Meyung.
