In May 2004 the Martial Art Fitness Centers, Inc. of Rochester, MN recently finished its 5th training seminar with GrandMaster Pan Gon Song from Shihung, S. Korea.

Over 150 martial artists attended the training held in SE Minnesota and Northern Iowa. GM Song is President of the Korea Simmudo Association, of the Shihung TaeKwonDo Association, and of the KyungGiDo TaeKwonDo Association.

GM Song provided training in the 3 areas of the Simmudo curriculum: Cheysul - throws; Hoshinsul - joint locks; Kwonsul - striking and kicking technique.

There was a youth seminar held each weeknight from 5:00-6:00, followed by an all ages and all ranks seminar from 6:00-8:00. Then from 8:00-9:30 was a black belts only seminar. On Saturday, the seminar was an all ages and ranks event from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm, followed by a spectacular martial arts show at 6:00 pm. The SimMuDo black belt promotion test was held on Sunday.
