Do you have to be a Myo Sim Karate student to study Myo Sim Kendo?
When Mr. Hong first taught Myo Sim Kendo, it was reserved for brown through black belt Myo Sim Karate students. Mr. Hong taught Kendo as a enhancement to students’ karate. When Mr. Hong left Northern Virgnia, his senior student, Mr. Gary Shaw, continued to teach Myo Sim Karate and Myo Sim Kendo at the Lee Center in Alexandria Virginia. As more and more students from both Myo Sim Karate and outside the school became interested in studying Kendo, Mr. Shaw further developed Myo Sim Kendo to be taught to novice martial arts students.
