Hi, my name is Stefan Kubalos and who don’t knows me. I’m a purple belt hana from Slovakia. I was leader and chief instructor of WonHwaDo club in Liptovsky Mikulas city, for more than 11 years. But this year destiny sent me to United Kingdom, where I’m now living and working. But my passion for WonHwaDo stays in my heart and almost immediately I asked master Suda (president of United Kingdom WonHwaDo) for permission to teach in United Kingdom. He gladly accepted my request and I started my trainings here in United Kingdom in Gloucester city. The other Slovakian WonHwaDoist living in United Kingdom joined me almost immediately. Now we have trainings 3 times per week in Gloucester main park. And soon we start to work together with Gloucester community centre and Europa European Alliance (Slovak, Czech and Polish community group) in common project. They give us a gym with full equipment for our training and we will teach the people from our regions there. All this activities make me satisfied this days and personally I hope that I become a bridge between United Kingdom WonHwaDo and Slovakian WonHwaDo association and we start more cooperate us together. With this article I want to notify that everybody who want to practise WonHwaDo together with me are warmly welcome and I will try to help them as good as I can. For more informations find our web page on facebook, the name of our group is WonHwaDo Gloucester. Thanks for reading and good luck. Mgr. Stefan Kubalos
