The team’s annual Christmas party is an event in which the coaches, members, families and friends look forward to each year. This is the day where members can forget about the famous “weight chart” and training gears to relax and have fun. The Christmas spirit was evidenced as Team-M members gathered around Coach Huy playing the keyboard to sing the famous song, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”, but added in with some “taekwondo” version lyrics created by one of the Team-M members.

On October 16, 2009, Team-M’s three coaches (Huy, Anh and Long Nguyen) and five team members (Peter Salas, Alvin Jong, Lance Supnet, Rocky Cao, and Hazel Cruz) will embark to Korea for a 10-day training expedition. It is truly Team-M’s privilege to be invited as guests to train with some of the best in Korea’s Taekwondo teams such as Kukkiwon, Keimyung & Gae Myoung University.
Team-M is humbled by this rare training opportunity and anticipates that they will be transformed by this experience. No doubt, training in Korea will enable them to enhance their Taekwondo skills level as well as get updated on the latest Taekwondo standards and advanced techniques. In looking forward, this training opportunity will not only benefit the coaches and members traveling on this trip, but Team-M as a whole, as naturally, the participating coaches and team members will return home with newly acquired knowledge and skills, which they will be able to translate and incorporate into their on-going trainings with Team-M.
Beside training with the elite teams in Korea, Team-M has been informed that they may be requested to put on a performance showcasing Taekwondo demonstration styles from the U.S. during their travel to different venues in Korea. Certainly this will be another great way for Team-M to join in the concerted efforts of uniting the world through the art of Taekwondo.
The coaches and five team members look forward to their upcoming trip to Korea. They will be sharing their journey with the team, supporters, families and friends via Team-M’s facebook.
