Grandmaster Kim Soo shares his correspondence from students whose lives have been touched by Chayon-Ryu
To:
Grand Master Kim Soo-
I
have learned so much from you Grand Master Kim Soo as my Marshal Arts teacher.

| Grandmaster Kim Soo |
From your over 60 years of knowledge of Martial Arts you have made a positive
impact on my life and have taught me things and skills that I will carry with me
the rest of my life.
So,
when I was so honored to be asked to speak at a meeting about Alcohol
and Drug Addiction in hopes of sharing
some strength and hope that you never have to live like that again I
accepted!
The
speech was to last for an hour and I just wanted to tell you how I closed my
speech.
I
said, “ I want to share this with ya’ll not to make you think I'm special, cause
I'm not, but I am involved in Martial Arts” ( Chayon-Ryu ). “I was taught by
Grand Master Kim Soo that the best defense against any kind of attack is to
simply to Avoid and then react with something Positive.”
For example, if your
around negative people then avoid them, not in a rude or mean way, but you can
replace them with positive people. Also, don't go anywhere were it might
jeopardize your sobriety, simply avoid. Another thing to Avoid is negative and
crazy thinking.
Martial Arts has taught me to be calm, patience, and to have
an open mind to listen, learn, and most of all to
Avoid.
Thank
you, Grand Master Kim Soo.
Sincerely,
Jerry
