A Christmas message from Grand Master Kimm
Dear Universal Peace Movement members, Hap Ki Do and Sun Do members. Was it only yesterday that I was thinking about a Christmas message for 2007? It is hard to believe that already 2009 is waiting to be born. So you won't be surprised that I say again, time and tide wait for no human being; a little bit sad but true.
I have been away from my Australian home quite often this year, doing important work for our Universal Peace Movement. I was part of an international delegation that visited Washington in October this year, to commemorate the historic summit meeting between North and South Korea (held October 4th 2007).
Whilst at this important gathering, I was in the privileged position of speaking at length with Frank Jannuzi, the Korean Peninsular Chief Policy Advisor for the then Senator Obama, now of course, President Elect Obama. It was a fantastic opportunity to be able to introduce Frank Jannuzi to the purpose and achievements of our Universal Peace movement and the exciting new plans we have for the future. In my heart I can say I've done a good job.
Each time I come back to home, I give thanks to the Creator that we are still alive and safe in all of this world's turmoil. I think we are fortunate to be living in such a wonderful city as Melbourne, Australia.
Remembering and giving thanks for what we have is an important beginning in our quest for peace. Then we need to act every day from our Universal Peace principles. We need to make sure that we continue to work to keep balance in ourselves, our communities and in our great Universal environment. We are on this planet just 'spark time' and it is our duty as human beings to fully use this great opportunity.
As our world faces ecological and economic challenges, each of us is challenged to find new ways of doing things; we are pushed to think differently. As many of the things we regard as necessities are stripped away, we are given a wonderful chance to remember and respect the power of nature and to appreciate the more simple things. I believe that we are on the edge of some amazing developments that are born out of necessity.
Now more than ever it is important to keep up our training as part of our regular routine. Our training starts 'on the mat', yet extends beyond the mat in so many amazing ways. Watch out for your training opportunities, they are everywhere! In a similar way, whilst Universal Peace begins with ideas and words it must and does go beyond that to be expressed in action, by each of us in our own unique way. Our Universe supports us as we discover how we can make our contribution.
As I said last year, we can be thankful for each other in this journey, for the opportunity to work for the common good, for the opportunity to learn and to love. At the beginning and the end of each class we say thanks to each other.
So, in that same manner and from my deep heart, I now say Gomupseumnida (a new way of saying thankyou) to each of you for your unique contribution to Universal Peace this year and all the years before.
I and Wendy will continue to pray for health and peace for you and your families.

A message from Grand Master Kimm for all corporate managers
A message from Grand Master Kimm, for all Corporate Managers who are leaders in the 21st Century and beyond:
Healthy efficient people, your most valuable asset, are the heart of every healthy, successful business.
Unfortunately, it seems that “success” in our competitive world, is often achieved at a big price. The sacrifice of our health, due to stress, is not only a personal tragedy, but also an expensive waste of training, experience and the unlimited human creative potential, which brings visions into reality.
Corporations around the world are recognizing the need to contribute to a sustainable environment. A sustainable environment starts with a healthy mind and body.
With over 40 years of experience, working with the mind/body connection, I would like to offer you an opportunity to explore An Oriental Path to Holistic Health (and success!). Basic techniques can be mastered by people of all ages and abilities.
