martial arts teacher attends taekwondo camp

Hundreds of high ranked martial artists from the American Taekwondo

Association gathered in Little Rock, Ark., earlier this summer on a mission

to master new skills in the ever-evolving sport of Songham Taekwondo.

Eddrick High, a fourth-degree black belt from Peachtree City, joined

fellow black belts at the annual ATA Leadership Camp for the strenuous

four-day event, which included self-defense clinics, advanced weapons

training and the new ATA Extreme Martial Arts workouts.

High and his colleagues studied traditional Protech weapons such as

the sword and Bahng Mahng Ee while also learning how to use a common

item like a travel wrench as protection during possible attacks. During

the ATA Extreme workouts, the black belts were introduced to a new presentation

style of taekwondo, which incorporates complex martial arts movements

with sophisticated choreography.

Grand Master Soon Ho Lee, ninth-degree black belt, and other members

of the ATA's elite Master's Council led High and other campers

during their arduous workouts throughout the weekend. "These are

some of our organization's finest members and it is refreshing to

see such high ranked martial artists on a quest to gain even more knowledge

and instruction," said Grand Master Lee.
