ITC2010 SCHEDULE OF EVENTSThursday July 15th
– morning (all red belts and up)
Own a school? Opening one soon? Want to explore future opportunities as a CKD school owner (even if you’re not a black belt yet)?
Organized and presented under the direction of the UFAF Board and Mr. Stephen Hammersley, UFAF’s Director of Professional Development, we will explore together must-know martial arts business practices, which will put you on the road to success regardless of the size of your school and without spending tons of $$$$!
This year will also see the roll-out of school qualifi cation criteria for obtaining and maintaining CKD school charters - all aimed at turning your school - or your future school - into the highest quality CKD school possible for your students, and helping all of our schools become more consistent and professional.
School owners and future school owners need this information, and there is no better way to get it than to join us at this year’s PDS!
– afternoon (all red belts and up)
Our Chun Kuk Do Korean Forms - Making the most! (and a lot of sense) out of our Korean Kata -
Instructor: Ed Saenz
This is the kata seminar so MANY black belts and instructors have been requesting! The kata of our style are the containers that preserve our Chun Kuk Do technique and skills. This is why it is so important that they are taught, learned, remembered, and practiced in a way that will accomplish this goal, and help every UFAF member learn more about our unique and exciting Chun Kuk Do style.
To make a very long story very short, the Pyong An kata were invented as training kata for the more advanced kata. And the Giecho Hyungs were, in turn, created as trainers for the Pyong An’s. If we know this, then we can make connections, parallels, and comparisons between the kata that will help our understanding. Sometimes similar sequences are executed in exactly the same way. Sometimes not. Why? Mr. Saenz will explore these questions and give everyone plenty of reps to practice!
Of course, Mr. Saenz would not have time in a month to share everything he knows about our kata, but he will help us understand more about how the kata are
executed, how they relate, and how they support each other in helping us learn our style. This 3.5 hour IDS session will feature three 55-minute workout sessions (separated by fi ve-minute breaks), and a ½ hour Q&A with Mr. Saenz at the end. If you wonder anything about the what, why, or how of our kata, this is a seminar not to be missed!
Master Rank Induction Ceremony
Watch the demonstrations and special ceremony, as select UFAF members are promoted to 5th degree.
Welcome Reception Pool Party
The 2009 pool party was one of the most enjoyable parts of the ITC. Join us in 2010 for an even bigger and better barbeque and pool party (lifeguards on duty). A great way to meet new people and renew friendships!

Chun Kuk Do Integrated Self Defense Techniques :Chun Kuk Do’s core self defense curriculum
We’ve always been proud of how our Founder Mr. Norris has embraced new martial technology to better his Chun Kuk Do system. Now is our chance to follow his inspiring lead! The new Chun Kuk Do integrated self defense curriculum - designed specifi cally to mesh perfectly into our style - includes elements of BJJ, general grappling, and MMA technology, all presented in a safe, FUN!, and positive environment of discipline and mutual respect. Our extraordinarily skilled instructors and coaches, John Will and David Meyer will teach the entire curriculum from A-to-Z. You will learn closing, clinching, and takedown skills, ground-and-pound defense, disengaging and getting back to your feet, and a solid set of grappling transitions and fi nishes - all with a modern-day, real-ity-based, self defense emphasis!
With martial arts credentials and championships (themselves AND their students) too numerous to even begin to mention, John Will and David Meyer have become an important part of UFAF. Skilled curriculum designers, they have designed programs for military and law enforcement agencies, and many other groups around the world. They have now applied their talents to the creation of Chun Kuk Do’s integrated self defense techniques curriculum. Mr. Will and Mr. Meyer are phenomenal instructors and superb communicators (laugh-out-loud funny together!), who make the most complex techniques understandable and doable by anyone. They have truly elevated the teaching of the grappling arts to a new level in the martial arts world – a fact we in UFAF have seen and experienced fi rsthand. Be prepared to sweat, to learn some of the most fascinating material you’ve ever trained in, and to have a blast doing it!
Ed Saenz ___________________________________________________Ed Saenz ___________________________________________________UFAF 1 & 2: Learn the ins and outs of these two landmark kata
Description: Eye gouge? Spear hand? Chop? Which is it? And why were these two very important kata invented? What do they preserve about Chun Kuk Do that is so important for EVERY black belt to know and understand? With the assistance of some of the CKD kata video series team and some of UFAF’s top kata competitors, Mr. Saenz will guide us through these two kata, opening another layer of understanding to view. Along the way, some of your hottest questions about “what is what?” in these kata will be answered. Many, many black belts are requesting just such a seminar. (For even more kata training, check out the Instructor Development Series line-up!)

His understanding of martial technique, history, context, and philosophy leaves one in awe! His desire to improve the lives of others through martial arts training is genuine. His love for all of it, and for all of his students is his motivation! And for these two hours, you can be one of them!
