TAE-KWON-DO IN YEMEN

Grand Master Abdulrahim S. Mohammed
at Hadhramout, Arab Sea.
Recently Grand Master Moafak M. Monasser, W.T.F. President for Yemen and

10th DAN HOLDERS !
World-wide some people allways doubt and criticize high ranking non-asian Grand Masters.
Our organizations meanwhile determine the names of several 10th Degree Holders of the following styles/systems:
Hapkido: 46, Taekwondo: 25, Tang-Soo-Do 16, Aikido: 15, etc.... This proofs that these people better should
get more informed, before they doing any incorrect statements.

SUCCESS MAKES JEALOUS
An old chinese saying is "Everything what is good, somebody tries to copy". This happened to us now.
In the meantime the names and concepts of 3 of our organizations were used in lightly
amended forms by other individuals. Some of the responsible people for that even claim that they were
there before us, which can be proof as example with newspaper articles, as incorrect.
Anyway we are not angry with this peoples and wish them all the best.
