That includes a free trial lesson (no obligation involved), and to also check out the background of Hong's USA Taekwondo Habgido Gumdo Inc., and it's owner and head instructor - Grandmaster Soon Pil Hong. Grandmaster Hong always says "I am proud of my background and where I come from. I will willingly show my certifications about my rank & referee levels. I will not hide anything."
