Tukong Moosul
Do-Jang's and Web Sites
Grandmaster Won Ik Yi has returned to the U.S. and just moved
back to Austin Texas. The Grand Opening of the new Tukong Moosul Headquarters
was September 4th 1999. The new address is 12200 Research Blvd Austin TX 78759 (512) 336-5425
Grandmaster Yi is offering training to all levels of students, from beginners to extremely
advanced. I am quite sure of the level of training offered there ~ The Best!
If you are in the Austin area this is one school I would strongly
encourage you to check out. Call Grandmaster Yi for current information.
Currently Grandmaster Yi is asssisted mainly by Ali Brown a Third
Degree Black Belt. I started training wtih Ali when he was a nine
year old. Now at 6 feet and a solid 175 pounds I keep hoping he
forgot about the time I thrashed him on the floor. Just joking.
Ali has turned into a fine young man and I know he is a very
competent instructor. It has been great to reconnect with Ali and see his evolution.

Cotton Hayes runs a very fine school in Odessa Texas. Master Hayes has been
teaching various martial arts for over 25 years. He was the first person outside of Korea
to be certified as a Master in Tukong Moosul. His style of teaching is unique, as is the man
himself. Check out his Web-site for a different perspective
on Martial Arts in general, and Tukong Moosul in particular. Master Hayes is an interesting
paradox of an instructor, he is a no BS man that trains real hard, yet he has a
soft and compassionate heart for all of his students and friends. As with each of the
instructors in Tukong Moosul I am honored to consider him my friend
Ip Sun is a Korean version of the
moving meditation known as Tai' Chi. The goals and benefits of this type of training are subtle
and soft, like the movements themselves. Ip Sun is similar to and yet
different than many of the other forms of Tai' Chi. Nearly all of the movements of Ip Sun are
applicable self-defense moves. Ip Sun also works to restore the natural balance and
harmony of a healthy body.
Master Vince Cobalis is the Senior Ip Sun Instructor
in the Tukong Moosul Federation. Mr. Cobalis has been
training for over 30 years in various martial arts and has been
specializing in Tai' Chi for well over fifteen years. Mr. Cobalis may
specialize in Ip Sun though he is widely recognized within the
Tukong family as a serious hard stylist as well. Please check out his web site for more
information about Ip Sun.
Master James Brown runs another incredibly fine Tukong Moosul Do-Jang in
Austin Texas. Mr. Brown has been training in the martial arts for over 19 years and also has
extensive college wrestling experience. Mr. Brown brings an enthusiasm to his training
that is hard to match. Whether training students or dealing with concerns of his students
Mr. Brown brings 100% of his heart and spirit into whatever he does. Mr. Brown is a
powerful man with a heart of gold, he always pushes himself harder than he does his students;
he truly demonstrates that actions speak louder than words. He is a gifted instructor,
and a true gentle man. If you are ever in Austin please stop by and visit Mr. Brown's
Do-Jang. Please call first to arrange an appointment
The University of Texas @ Austin,
home of the original Tukong Moosul training offered in the United States. I am glad that we
still have a club at UT. Brings back old memories of training down at Clarke field and
destroying the grass, celebrating Tukong's aniversaries . Hmm pleasant memories indeed...
Riccardo Green is offering Tukong Moosul training in Seattle, WA. Riccardo was the
first person I took from white belt through black belt. He is a very gifted martialist,
and a compassionate young man. He has graduated from Bastyr Naturopathic and Acupuncture College
in Seattle. Mr. Green is a very fine representative of Tukong Moosul and I am proud of him
as a student and as an instructor. (Though I do wish he would return phone calls ;-) )
