		<description><![CDATA[Below are my notes from the summer camp hosted by Grandmaster Kim.  I heard many people state “I need to write this down” over the course of the weekend.  Indeed, that’s been my feeling many times.  What each of us takes away from the weekend is obviously different.  I thought that sharing my notes might jog the memories for some of the people who participated in my classes.  I hope I’m not doing something improper by sharing this information.  It is restricted to blackbelts of Taekwondo International.  I’m very grateful for having had the experience and look forward to training with you again soon.]]></description>
