Our recent visit to Sensei Rodney Kelly's dojo in San Diego was OUTSTANDING.  His students were a joy to share with and as always, his group will truly be a capable force in the growth of the RHKKF.

 

29 September 2007;

MY MY MY! I am currently assisting Master Brian Malm of the Desert Tae Kwon Do dojang here in Tucson with picking up Master Odo's beloved Kobudo!  This is a martial artist that TRULY understand the arts, he is a stylist by NO means.  He has an eclectic background that belies his current style.

Master Malm is a true joy to work with and our workouts are truly reciprocal in that he has a vast knowledge of the kicking arts as well as Kung Fu and shares readily. He and his school will prove invaluable for our mutual futures.

I highly encourage you all to check out his webpage! -- http://www.deserttkd.com/ --
