As a passionate martial arts enthusiast, I recently had the opportunity to take part in Kummooyeh’s IBP training (Instructor Training Program). This experience proved to be a real turning point in my life as a martial artist, enabling me to enrich my knowledge and skills, particularly in the art of sword and traditional Korean archery.
As National Technical Director for Professional Self-Defense and Traditional Korean Swordsmanship with the Moroccan National Committee for Global Hapkido, I’ve already reached an advanced level in the martial arts. Nevertheless, the IBP program has given me an invaluable opportunity to deepen my skills, particularly in the art of handling the traditional Korean sword, under the tutelage of Grand Master Hyun Kyoo Jong.
Thanks to his expertise and support, I was able not only to improve my technique, but also to gain a deeper understanding of the principles and reasons behind each movement. This deeper understanding has enabled me to perfect my art and raise my level of practice to a whole new level.
What makes this experience even more special is the fact that I became the first Moroccan practitioner to reach this prestigious milestone. It filled me with pride and honor, knowing that I’m one of the pioneers of this discipline in my country.
Taking part in the Kummooyeh IBP training course was an invaluable experience that deeply enriched my martial arts practice. Thanks to Grand Master Hyun Kyoo Jong’s expertise and the opportunity to learn from the best, I was able to perfect my skills and position myself as a pioneer of this discipline in Morocco. I’m deeply grateful for this enriching experience. My goal now is to continue my learning to reach the highest levels in this martial art. In addition, I hope to have the opportunity to share my passion for Kummooyeh with other practitioners in my country and around the world, in order to contribute to its growth and development.
