Ask any instructor of the Soo Bahk Do® martial art system if they enjoy what they do and virtually all will tell you that they can think of no more personally rewarding experience than teaching students the skills and philosophy of the Soo Bahk Do® martial art and helping them discover their untapped potential and personal power.

Wherever you live, attending the National Festival has always meant, and will continue to mean, one of two different travel and cost experiences in order to participate. The time commitment and the financial commitment required to experience this remarkable event are principle reasons why only the most dedicated and committed practitioners (typically, less than 15% of all members) usually participate in the National Festival.

I can’t bid for the National Festival destination right now because I have commitment issues. Heck, this year isn’t even over, things in my life are uncertain and my schedule is hectic and always changing, plus I am broke and have no money, so how can I possibly be expected to place a bid right now for a future National Festival destination when I do not even know for sure when the event will be or where it will be!?  And on top of all that I am a Gup and I heard Gups can’t even attend.
