\"128\"<\/a>Grandmaster Beaudoin began his Tang Soo Do <\/span><\/span> career in 1962 while stationed in the U.S. Air <\/span> Force in Osan, Korea and training under <\/span> Grandmaster J C Shin. He earned his 1st Degree <\/span> Black Belt on May 12th, 1963 at a test in Inchon <\/span> Korea. His Dan number is 005661. His studies in <\/span> Korea were the beginning of a life-long <\/span> commitment to Tang Soo Do. He has taught <\/span> thousands of students in the Waterbury area for <\/span> more than thirty-five years and has promoted <\/span> over three hundred Black Belts and ten Masters. <\/span> Grandmaster Beaudoin teaches many of his own <\/span> classes including Tiny Tigers, Little Dragons, <\/span> Advanced Children and Cho Dan Bos, as well as <\/span> the Black Belt Excellence class. Of his teaching <\/span> he says “My favourite part of Tang Soo Do is <\/span> Teaching the Karate Kids programs, the Tiny <\/span> Tigers And Little Dragons classes. I also enjoy <\/span> contributing to the International Black Belt Clinics <\/span> following the World Championships. \"34\"<\/a>I will <\/span> continue to train and serve in the WTSDA as long <\/span> as students express the desire to learn, as long <\/span> as people want to improve, wherever people <\/span> yearn to reach their potential. The rewards <\/span> coming to me can be seen in their eyes. There is <\/span> no price on the value of a facial expression <\/span> showing appreciation, gratitude and joy that <\/span>comes from teaching another. One of my goals is to complete a Karate Kids Manual for our <\/span> Association. Another is to continue promoting the practice of Ki Gong for health purposes to our <\/span> elder population. In general, I would like to use our martial art skill and knowledge to foster <\/span> healing and general wellbeing.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
