This is an open letter to all newly approved
sublicense recipients and to the students of those
schools, where the sublicense will be displayed.
I have been asked to speck on behalf of all the
National licensors in order to commemorate this
occasion. I am National Instructor, Frank Kucia. I am a
National Instructor registered to the International
Chung Moo Association, as a 8th degree black belt
with a gold historical document. I am one of several
licensed to promote the use of Master John C. Kim's
name for schools of Chung Moo in the United States
and abroad. As part of that license, I am authorized to
sublicense certain individuals, who in my opinion, have
proven themselves capable of understanding and
passing down to others, the important values and ethics
set forth in the Chung Moo Constitution. As a National
Licensor, my primary concern is to see that no damage
comes to the name and reputation of Master John C.
Kim, and to see that values and principles of the Chung
Moo Constitution are upheld among all those who seek
the opportunity to handle school.
On behalf of myself, and all of the other
National Licensors, I want to congratulate the
sublicense recipients on their opportunity to handle
school, and on their decision to commit themselves to
the task of helping others understand and reach their
fullest potential through Chung Moo training.
More importantly, I want to congratulate you, because
you are one step closer to having the opportunity to
learn directly from Master John C. Kim. This is because
you have accepted the responsibility of passing down to
others the challenge of Chung moo training: The
Challenge to better themselves mentally; the challenge
to better themselves physically; and the challenge to
better themselves as members of the community. Your
commitment to the values and principles set down in
the Chung Moo constitution has earned, for you, this
opportunity.
Chung Moo has always stood for: respect for
oneself and respect for others; taking care of yourself
and caring for others; challenging yourself to be better,
and challenging others to better themselves. Chung
Moo has always stood for improving yourself mentally
and physically, and striving to achieve your fullest
potential. Chung Moo training means developing a
strong character and a deep respect for all life.
Reaching this understanding is important to the
individual, but helping others reach this understanding
is more important.
Through helping others realize their full
potential, one earns the respect, and the reputation,
and the values of a life that has not been wasted.
In my life, every question I have had could be
answered through a deeper understanding of myself and
others. Within the first month of my Chung Moo
training I had gained knowledge that I could
immediately use in my every day life.
Learning and putting into practice such values
as determination, patience, discipline and confidence
have helped me in my relationships with family, friends
and in business.
For most of you, the absence of water and food
for a few days would be difficult. You know you need
to feed your body. For over 1,500 years, so many
others in Chung Moo have researched the best way to
nourish your mind. Through your training you can built
your widow to benefit your daily life. True freedom
comes from being better. Freedom to choose the right
opportunity can bring success, respect and peace of
mind. But freedom can also be dangerous. Without the
right judgment necessaria to make balanced decisions,
the freedom of choice can bring pain, regret and guilt.
The strongest apology can never undo the pain caused
by poor judgement and bad decisions.
I have been fortunate in that I have had
someone whom I deeply respect, someone whose
judgment I trust, someone who cares about me and,
my future.
I respect Master John C. Kim deeply because I
care about myself deeply. Master John C. Kim has
spent 50 years to reach the knowledge of Chung Moo.
Without direction I could spend 500 years and not
reach one tenth of that knowledge. For me it would be
like being lost in a jungle without a guide. Perhaps by
chance I could find my way out. I do not want to take
that risk.
I welcome the advice and direction of someone I
respect. As I have benefitted from the understanding
and direction that I have received I have asked Master
John C. Kim if there was anything that I could do for
him. He only said that I should make myself better; that
would make him better. Understanding this has helped
me to understand my own direction in life. Every
answer is in Chung Moo, and my goal has always been
to receive direction and training from the best-Master
John C. Kim.
This is my wish, and this is your wish. By
understanding the principles and values set out in the
Chung Moo constitution, everyone will have a chance
to continue learning. If you forget the value of your life
and of those around you, and strive for only selfish
goals, no one will teach you; no one will follow you; no
one will respect you. You will not only lose the
opportunity to continue training in Chung Moo for
yourself, but also for all those who follow your
example. You have a choice: to accept this
commitment, or to take advantage of it for your
personal benefit. To seek opportunity to handle a
school of Chung Moo for your own selfish purpose will
not only hurt you, but it will hurt all those who are
seeking to improve their lives through Chung Moo
training.
Remember, you are not buying a school. No
one can buy Master John C. Kim's name or what it
stands for. No one can buy students. No one can buy
respect or position. Your investment is an investment in
your future, an investment in your life. Without respect,
without a chance for you continued learning, without
the principles and values of Chung Moo, all you have
left is an empty building.
If, as instructor, you take advantage of the
students and do not provide proper instruction and
training, it will be necessary, for the protection of the
students, that other instructors take over your
responsibilities, even if this means that they have to
come from other states and open schools right across
the street.
Everything necessary will be done to protect the
students and to see that everyone has an opportunity to
receive the best Chung Moo training possible.
Where your misconduct threatens the name and
reputation of Master John C. Kim, your sublicense will
be revoked and Master John C. Kim's name removed
from the school. These extreme measures are
necessary, because one bad school would not only hurt
the existing schools, but would hurt all those, who in
the future, had hoped to open schools themselves.
Higher belts are now stepping up to their next
opportunity. Chung Moo consultants will be traveling
throughout the country even overseas to continue their
training and broaden their understanding. They will also
be devoting their time to teaching those students who
seek to learn deeper Chung Moo movements and they
will devoting their time to supporting instructors who
are currently handling schools; as well as those who
seek to handle schools in the future. This guarantees
that only the best trained individuals will have an
opportunity to teach and preserve the line of Chung
Moo.
What this means for the 2nd degree instructors
is that they will have the opportunity to handle school
and earn the respect of those they teach. You must
understand that your personal training was for your
own benefit. During the time you are learning, only you
become better. Others may admire you for the patience
and determination which you exhibit in your individual
practice; but it is not until you use that knowledge to
make other's better that you begin to earn respect.
Master John C. Kim has given the use of his
name to Chung Moo schools, if the right seed of
respect is passed down. When you began training you
had a chance to learn how to build a right mind and a
strong body for yourself. You challenged yourself to
learn the importance of balancing when to do and when
not to do. Just as timing is important in movements; so
is it important in your life. The right decision at the
wrong time can be worse than no decision at all. The
knowledge you have gained through your Chung Moo
training will benefit you as long as you live.
Now is the time to balance your training for the
benefit of others. This is also for your benefit. As now
this knowledge will survive as long as those you teach
have life. These are the seeds of respect that are passed
down that you will benefit you, your family and those
you have taught for generations to come. By accepting
this responsibility, 2nd degree instructors, now more
than ever, will need the guidance of higher belts.
Under the Chung Moo Constitution, you are
limited in how far you can test a student, and likewise,
you are qualified to teach only that far. Recognizing
this, higher belt consultants have entered into a five
year agreement with each school to provide the
strength necessary for the school to test and teach up to
1st degree, or beyond. The purpose of this agreement is
to ensure that the students receive the best possible
training from the most qualified instructors.
Where the recipients of a sublicense fail to
follow by the Chung Moo Constitution and fail to
uphold the high standards of instruction represented by
the name of Master John C. Kim, the higher belt
consultant, under this agreement, will have the right
and obligation to withdraw his support from that
school. In addition, for the protection of the students,
this agreement will give the higher belt consultant the
right to actively place students, whose belt rank is
beyond the ability of that instructor to teach, into
programs of training outside of that school. In any case,
the students will have the right to seek the best
available instruction, no matter what. This is their
freedom of choice.
In providing this support, higher belts are not
employees, nor are they missionaries. They will be
providing consultancy under written agreement. Under
this agreement, the relationship will be that of
consultant. Under the Constitution, however, this
relationship will be one of mutual respect, concern and
support for all of the those who strive to follow the
principles and ideas of the Chung Moo Constitution. To
help all students, who may read this, to better
understand the content and purpose of this letter I am
sending along copies of the Chung Moo Constitution.
As required by your sublicense agreement you must
display three copies in the school at all times.
It is diffiCULT in one letter to pass to you all
that I understand about Chung Moo. Like you, I am
still learning. Everyone brings their own understanding
to what they learn. For yourselves, start with reading
the Chung Moo Constitution and flyers and literature
that are available in school and build for yourself your
own knowledge and understanding.
In closing, all National Licensors congratulate
you on your opportunity, and challenge you to earn for
yourself the respect of the students; and the respect of
the community.

it is no "opportunity," except to "Headstar" or "IMAP" or "Tigerlilly" or
some other corporate name they've thought up.>
Everything necessary will be done to protect the
students and to see that everyone has an opportunity to
receive the best Chung Moo training possible.
<Do everything to protect yourselves first. If you do want to indulge
yourself in this scheme, at least take the contract to an independent

To all you 2nd degree CMD instructors out there: DON'T SIGN UNTIL YOU HAVE
THE CONTRACT REVIEWED. If you decide to stay in CMD, you will get just as
many "corrections" as anyone else if you don't become an "owner" or
"sublicensor" or whatever they call it nowadays.
I strongly suggest that you explore other training options. I highly doubt
that you will ever get to the promised land of medical miracles and
independent wealth that you have been promised. I never saw a glimpse of
any of it. All I ever heard was talk. They try to head this off by saying
you must have "faith." I bought into this for a long time, but I finally
woke up. I hope that at least some of you will also.

Ok. Imagine you've been training full-force for the last 2 hours.
Now, you're holding a T-position 1" off the ground while they YELL
this crap at you: "Your life is nothing without CMD, money is not
important, spend it on more training. Your family is not important
unless you have the good health of mind and body to take care of them.
Your job is not important....."
Go back and read it again. If you don't see anything wrong with it,
you're a CMD'er.
>Go back and read it again. If you don't see anything wrong with it,

I don't see anyrthing wrong in the F. Kucia letter and I am not a CMD'er.
I do see that you and J. Lee really have an axe to grind. I am sorry that
you had bad experiences.
>>Your family is not important
>>unless you have the good health of mind and body to take care of them
Basically this is true but poorly worded.
This is probably the best description I've seen of what it's like to
train at Chung Moo...
From what I read
1. The article was posted by R.D. Johnson who obviously is not part of
CMQ(D)
2. It was not addressed or redirected to "us" unless you want to purchase
a CMQ(D) franchise license.
3. There have not been any responses by CMQ(D) about their lineage..well,
maybe instead of ranting and raving, using the worst grammar I have
ever read and typing badly, you should, in the spirit of martial
arts, talk directly to someone in CMQ(D) who could answer your questions.
4. Take a tranquilzer, have a beer, sing happy songs...in other words,
chill out man before you have a stroke.
No, Tony, it didn't make me wonder. Get a clue. Russell Delbert Johnson
is the one who typed the letter in the post, and he seems bent on stooping
as low as he can to make people who believe everything they read think
there's something sinister going on. Seems it's working.....

1. >what is a gold historical document???
> where is this registered at????
If you don't know what a gold historical document is, how do you know
that is has to be registered? If it is registered, one
would think that it probably is not registered with the local TKD
organization ...DUH.
3. >just more proof of cmq/d's deception.
No, this paranoid reasoning is just more proof of a need for manditory
valium and a strong argument for standarized elementary
education.
>>Ok. Imagine you've been training full-force for the last 2 hours.

Pretty good description of what we experienced at boot camp too. I am not
sure what this post has to do with the F. Kucia article.
ps. My personal trainer runs me about $85-100 dollars per hour. My tennis
pro about the same. If you had developed your endurance to where you could
train full force for 2 hours, I assume with an instructor (and still train
more), maybe you got full value for your money.
He's only putting out info that many other "Martial Artists"
in other places have already gathered.
He just has a much bigger mental stake in this than I or other
MA out here. Most of us avoided the CMD(Q) like the plague.
Hell I won't recommend them to anyone, yet won't slam them
either. It's not seeking perfection of character.

Actually, if you don't consider a destructive cult to be something
which should be taken seriously, that's your own choice and opinion.
However, those of us who have first hand experience don't need to
"twist" our "perceptions." And there's no "agenda."
Why do our stories, from different schools all over the US, match
perfectly. CMD cultivates a method for deception and abuse, plain and
simple. No interpretation necessary.
G204 (are you related to R2D2?), maybe YOU should look past bad grammar
and composition to see the content of the message. I was in CMD. CMD has
no lineage except as a figment of JCK's imagination. It seems strange to
me that you should use the same arguments a CMD-trained individual would
use...ie: divert attention from the message by criticizing something
irrelevant. But of course, you are a well-meaning bystander who is
championing the innocent CMD's cause. In any case, anyone wanting lessons
in ranting and raving using poor English should go to the likes of Sante
Furio and Tom McGee. Unfortunately, these men are otherwise occupied right
now.

I assure you that neither Julian Frost nor I have problems with grammar

Speaking of Tony K., has anyone seen the "Ode to Tony K."? I've heard

Did you know DARE is corrupt? There was an article in some Boston
newspaper that showed many police departments diverted money from the
drug programs for their own purposes. Among the cities listed were
Stoneham and Needham (and some others, I forget). Anyways, Chung Moo
Doe did a DARE fundraiser for both these towns.
Regardless of that, just because an organization does community
service does not make it a lamb of innocence. Chung Moo Doe
advertises a whole slew of great ideals- strong mind, healthy body,
improved communication etc. These ideals are what lures students to
the schools in the first place and what they use to brainwash students
into staying there.
Chung Moo Doe is a scam and an illusion. The community service and
the "family values" are just used to maintain that illusion. The
bottom line is that they are after your $.
I ask you this, SE...@aol.com, in your 5 years of training, how many
thousands of dollars did you contribute to the John C Kim fund? Make
sure you include all the hidden costs, like test fees, seminars,
national and regional instructor lessons, and so on.
Isn't it interesting that Al Capone went to jail on income tax

I can just imagine the CMD group lessons with the instructors
saying things like: "They're just jealous;" "They've lost their
minds;" "They're on drugs." I ask all those still involved with
CMD: does what they say answer our questions, or are they just
trying to divert attention away from the truth? I ignored the
truth for many years but I want all of you to look at what
objectively is going on in your school. Yes, some instructors can
be very fair and nice, but what about the men they answer to? Do
you respect these men for what they can teach you or just fear
them? Has the cost of your training escalated geometrically as
your training has progressed? Are they asking you to get a second
job or put yourself in futher debt? Are they saying a relatively

JCK was supposedly taught by a guy named Wang Po, whoever he was.
The first master of CMD was supposedly master Bagwa, who was so
named because, when he practiced his unique form, his breathing
sounded like "BAAGWAAAA." He lived approximately 1500 years ago and
his original martial art, "Bagwa" was renamed "goong bu" which
modern kung fu is originated from. I think what they're afraid of
is being laughed at if they tell this story to anyone not in CMD.
Of course, they do not enter into tournaments because their skills
are too deadly...or at least that's what I was told.

I had forgotten about that one. Yes, they do teach that CMD is too
"mean," and that tournament judges do not "take kindly to hauling dead
bodies off the mat."
There was a CMD tournament while I was training. Of course, as with
every tournament, there were entry fees. That's normal. However,
every single person that went from our school came back with a trophy,
and there was no sparring!!! Were we really just THAT GOOD?
