No one mentioned him...I just thought that the lineage of GMH trains in lies alongside the training of GM Kim Soo.

Do you train in his system? How did you make contact?

That is really weird that he won't speak of GMH....interesting stuff...I wonder why since
I hear GM Kim Soo is a nice and respected guy.

Are you in the Houston area?

Well crap -

Looks like another person from another thread now confirms that GM Kim Soo knows of GM Han - but that's all. Something bad I feel went down between these two...BUT now I can't pursue that lead...

Anyone find any info on GM Kim Soo and GM Han let me know.

Found something interesting...and a theory I have...not proven yet.

Youn Wha - hard to find anything on this...
Someone stated that it may be "Yeon Hwa"...which phonetically it's very similar.

Yeon Hwa translates to "lotus flower" which is a type of water lily.

The Hangul for "lotus flower" is 연 화

This Hangul is present on my instructor's certificate and black belt certificates.
Also - Yeon Hwa is a female's name in korean.

So my theory is Youn Wha = Yeon Hwa = "lotus flower" = "water lily"
