May Club News

Congratulations!
Congratulations to Joe Frakes who was promoted to Certified Instructor May 3rd by the Board of Directors.  In order to reach this certification, Joe had to meet the qualifications set forth by the Board of Directors documented in the Mandate HMKA-M8 entitled “Instructor Certification”.   This includes completing the specialized training requirements documented in the Chief Instructor’s Directive HMKTKD-D2 , “Specialized Training For Certified & Senior Instructor Status”.  This is a huge accomplishment and Joe joins Aaron Weiner and Todd Lilly as the other two active certified instructors in the Sunnyvale Club.  For all certified instructors, see the Associate website: http://www.hanmookwan.org/certified_instructors.htm.  Stay tuned for a future update to the Club’s website that will include Joe’s biography.
