This includes historic and recent video footage of demonstrations. This should include Heritage members. These pioneers have built a strong foundation in not only the Moo Duk Kwan, but in the broader martial art community.
Each zone produces a second video of current members. High action, high level demonstrations that highlights skill and also represents local landscape and culture.
Youth Leader, including Children Demonstrations – only highest level performers selected.
