International Level Training Lesson Student Testimonials
Seattle April 2006
Every time the ILT team is in town, I am reminded of just how deep True Moo Doe movement and principal is. After my MIP and 1st degree lesson, my body feels balanced and relaxed, and my mind is peaceful and calm. The lesson taught me how to connect my body’s movement, and helped me to focus and put my concentration back into my body. I am greatly honored and privileged to have found this source of Moo Doe wisdom. Thank you.
Adam B, 27 year old, Buyer, 1st Degree Black Belt
After a 3,000 mile drive and a three stop return flight which got me into Seattle at midnight I was apprehensive about today’s lessons. My body was stiffer than usual and my mind was exhausted. Today’s lessons sharpened my mind and rejuvenated my body. I am very glad I was able to be back in time to be taught by the International Team.
Alex E, 33 year old, Business Owner, 1st Degree Black Belt
I can see and feel how these movements all link together to give me the middle body strength and flexibility. I can feel the tightness in my lower back where I still need more flexibility and development.
Jason S, 35 year old, Lab Tech, 1st Degree Black Belt
I appreciate the continuous challenge to my mind and body that Oom Yung Doe provides. During this visit I found areas where my hand-eye coordination can improve. Having been a student for 3 years, my dexterity has noticeably improved, but when I feel that it has plateaued, there is always something to challenge me further.
Todd C, 36 year old, Customer Service – Qwest, 1st Degree Black Belt
Getting rid of negative, illuminating positive, that says it all.
Cheryl J, 51 year old, Professional Dance Instructor – Choreographer, 5th Section
More speed and flexibility (including my personal movements), delightful class.
Kay S, 53 year old, Qwest Tech Support, 3rd Section
Since beginning practice, my mental clarity, focus and energy have increased dramatically. I’m no longer as easily distracted in class and at work. I can sleep less if necessary and I leave lessons feeling more energized than when I came in.
Liz, 23 year old, School Teacher, 4th section
I learned the completion of my beginning forms as well I corrected the method in which I do many of my movement, as well as, some sound advise.
TJ, 20 year old, Waiter, White Belt
I am beginning to understand the purpose of National lessons. The total amount of Moo Doe wisdom spans several decades. Each National Instructor present, Head National Instructor Jerry and Assistant Head National Instructors Joe and Mike each contributed to the lesson profoundly yet simply. From being utilized for the purpose of demonstrations to my personal training itself. This lesson made a positive difference in my understanding of my body.
Matthew C, 34 year old, Computer Business Owner, 2nd Section
I was amazed by how well the instructors were able to identify the areas that the individual students were having trouble with and then show them ways to improve. After a two-hour lesson I feel that I know the form we went through as though I have been practicing it for a week.
Aidan S, 20 year old, Pizza Maker, 2nd Section
Felt the instructors gave very personal attention to me. Make me feel that they see a potential in me, and are helping me to find it. Their approach gives confidence, and helped me to relax in the session.
Clay N, 48 year old, Printer, 2nd Section
I’m very happy to be a student of this school. It makes me feel stronger, happy. This lesson helps me to understand movement better.
Yuliya H, 41 year old, Massage Therapist, 3rd Section
My ILDT Lessons are always a big learning time for me. I gain a deeper understanding of the principal behind the movement and of my training in general. With each lesson I have seen my stamina increase, my ability to move and remember the movements also increases. At the end of the lesson I feel re-energized and in a very positive mood.
Laurie C, 50 year old, Real Estate Magazine Editor, 1st Degree Back belt
Now that I have been training for a couple of years, one would think that I would expect to feel great after an ILDT lesson, but I never remember. I get excited and nervous for my lessons, afterward I feel rejuvenated. I really do feel more balanced and ready for challenges.
Robin M, 27 year old, Apartment Manager, 1st Degree Black Belt
We learned four Ma Bu movements. The movements exposed my weaknesses, lower back and shoulders. I am sure if I keep up with the practice I will benefit.
Andrew B, 54 year old, Insurance Company Manager, 1st Degree Black Belt
In this lesson I really felt my body move in ways it had never moved before, my mid section flexibility, and hips and back were challenged. This was good because these are areas I would like to improve. Higher belt’s instruction increased my understanding of my movement. Thank you for everything!
Jason P, 27 year old, Metals Fabricator, 1st Degree Black Belt
I thought that the 5th lesson was very fun and I got a lot out of it. The form and the breakdown of forms / pace of the class was perfect. The amount of information regarding application was well balanced. My understanding of the forms / movements are becoming more meaningful to me, mentally and physically.
Karen S, 54 year old, OT/HS Mentor, 5th Section
Head National Instructor Jerry is both kind and patient. After coming back to practice from a 2-month injury, I was slow and rusty. Head National Instructor Jerry made special time on my behalf to teach me. He worked with me to help me improve my internal strength and to help me get back into a practice schedule. I truly appreciate the time and efforts of Head National Instructor Jerry. He is a great teacher.
Amit B, 36 year old, Mortgage Advisor, 6th Section
Previously I have taken the classes as lessons, but this round was an experience that allowed me to begin understanding what or how to use internal strength as well as mental concentration as compared to physical ability.
Florence P, 26 year old, RN, 6th Section
I’ve really improved my flexibility and range of motion. I’ve also noticed an increase in determination and focus.
Stephanie C, 28 year old, School Teacher, 3rd Section
I received some great tips about alignment – moving in a line. I feel stronger and more clear on the self-defense aspect.
Pipi, 34 year old, Massage Therapist - Acupuncturist, 2nd section
I learned a lot about combining movements and attacks together. I feel that I understand the attacks more.
Jamie S, 26 year old, Waitress, 2nd Section
April 2006 Sae Gae Moo Doe Seminars
Thanks for the Nae Gong Breathing review! I have always felt “awful” (pain in back) after practicing and after today’s review and a few adjustments I feel better and it makes more sense!
Karen S, 54 year old, OT/HS Mentor, 5th Section
Challenging. Each time we went through sequences I was able to do it better. Greater Strength.
Kay S, 53 year old, Qwest Tech Support, 3rd Section
Yuk Kun Kyong showed my weaknesses and how to change them. I look forward to practicing the form. Thank you.
Andrew B, 54 year old, Insurance Company Manager, 1st Degree Black Belt
After the lesson I felt energized and ready to keep practicing. At one point I looked at the clock and was surprised at how much time had passed. Thank you!
Robin M, 27 year old, Apartment Manager, 1st Degree Black Belt
I enjoyed this Sae Gae Moo Doe and working with Kom. The pace was perfect and dividing the group with more instructors is very helpful. It was very useful for me to have several students go through movements at a time as it’s easy for me to not really have the movement and “fake it”! Thanks so much!
Karen S, 54 year old, OT/HS Mentor, 5th Section
The distance covered from the beginning of the lesson to the end is incredible. I have a good foundation of movement to build on and practice with. I look forward to seeing where I am at in 3 months with the movement I have learned.
Chad W, 26 year old, Law College Student, 5th Section
I enjoy these lessons. It was not easy, but better than the 1st SGMD. It was not easy because to follow the movement was difficult, but I can see my ability catching up with the movement.
Yuliya H, 41 year old, Massage Therapist, 3rd Section
This Sae Gae combined breathing techniques with physical forms that were taxing, but together they seemed to complement each other. The breathing made the forms less taxing. At the end of the lesson I actually felt more relaxed and not as physically drained as I often do in other forms of training. I was able to do this lesson to the best of my ability and enjoyed it greatly. Hopefully I can take some of the lessons learned to help me relax in my other lessons.
Mark F, 60 year old, Internal Medicine Doctor, 3rd Section
I remember taking my first several Sae Gae Moo Does. It was difficult to follow along and it was mentally draining. Now after a little more than a year of International Degree Training including several Sae Gae Moo Doe lessons, I was easily able to follow along with the Kom lesson without the physical and mental fatigue I experienced as a white belt.
The ability to mentally focus while I am tired has allowed me to accomplish more of my life goals during the last year than I have accomplished over the previous five years despite a much more demanding job.
