The session started Friday evening with a special black belt class, followed by an instructors’ seminar taught by Master Marr and special guest Master Oh from Pearl River, New York. Both drew on personal experience to detail the most effective ways to teach Taekwon-do to children, with emphasis on special needs kids.
