How Does A School Join or Transfer Into The Federation?

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Moo Duk Kwan^® certified school.

Please take some time to review the info at these links and then we can discuss your specific situation if you are still interested.

Due to all the different circumstances, there is not a single path to affiliation for a studio, but the info below may help you formulate questions to ask and which would help you.

Obviously, the affiliation of an ongoing school with a non-profit membership organization like ours impacts every student as well as the instructors and owner, so due diligence is in order.

Your initial application for individual membership helps us determine the next steps to take and it will entitle you to 40% off all Soo Bahk Do^® Institute Subscription prices.

Please feel free to contact me with your questions after you have reviewed this information.
