During June, 2009   Master Josh Dingler and Master Luc Wright visited us for a seminar in our dojo.   Master Dingler taught Jeet Kun Do techniques as well as Short Fist Hapkido.  Master Wright taught grappling techniques he teaches to his cage fighting students.  Both visiting instructors are members of The United Martal Arts Association based in Bloomington, Illinois.  Sensei Treem taught, during the seminar, some techniques from Ko Tai Shin Ryu, the system he has formulated and introduced it on this day.  A few weeks later both Sensei Treem and Sensei Herschel travelled to the TUMAA annual training camp in Bloomington.  Sensei Herschel taught iaido and Sensei Treem taught a class in Ko Tai Shin Ryu  and one in GojuRyu Karate Do.
