He was my instructor and mentor for many years. I just now realized that he passed away.
I am absolutely certain that I would not be the man I am today without his involvement in my life.
나는 당신에게 인사

My father, Mike King, talked fondly of Mr. Moon all through my childhood. Now as an adult, I have joined an academy after seeing the effects martial arts had on my Dad’s life. Thank you for your impact, sir.

Mr. Moon was my instructor for years in the 1970s, beginning at Cleveland State University and afterward at the studio on the west side of Cleveland. He shared his knowledge and his culture and was a positive influence. I enjoyed our talks together and never forgot him. RIP, Mr. Moon.
