Seminar Puerto Rico April 26th 2008


Master K.O. Spillmann, PhD, 7th Dan Black Belt, owner and operator of many academies for over the past 28 years and has given dozens of seminars for self defense and business. Master Spillmann recently had another electrifying seminar, this time in beautiful Puerto Rico. The seminar was hosted on April 26th, 2008 by Master Wilfredo Sellas of Sellas Martial Arts and Master Miguel Lind of WWTHF in Puerto Rico

Newlogos/DSC05647.JPGIt was truly an honor and learning experience for many of Puerto Rico’s top Masters and Instructors.  They had an opportunity to learn from one of the top leaders in the martial arts world on how to operate a professional martial arts academy. Many attendees gained the inside secrets required to achieve financial freedom without compromising top instruction.

Grandmaster Spillmann’s seminar in Puerto Rico not only covered the business aspects, it also covered class organization, trial lessons, student retention, advertising, staffing, phone sales, sales psychology, training the customers, teaching principals, placing a value on benefits, and the positive caring philosophy needed to elevate martial arts as a respected career. All attending the seminar received Grandmaster Spillmann’s business book (The TaeKwonDo Business Manual – How to run a professional martial arts academy) which has changed many school owners lives. The masters not only were excited and motivated by Master Spillmann’s shared knowledge, they were impressed with Master Spillmann’s love and dedication for TaeKwonDo and  improving Masters’, Instructors’ and students’ lives. The masters in Puerto Rico have invited Master Spillmann to return next year for him to see the positive changes and host an even bigger seminar.

July 14th-15th -16th 2006:  Extreme Discipline and Black Belt Testing Camp


Master Konrad Spillmann, 7th dan and a Vice President of TaeKwon-Do International,
held his annual summer camp in Aliso Viejo, California. This year, his very successful
camp attracted more than 80 students and black belts instructors from all over the world.
All participants pushed themselves mentally, physically and spiritually by undergoing
36 hours of intensive martial arts training over a  3-day period and with only 7 hours of sleep total.
 

Some of the guest instructors involved in making the camp memorable and instructional included:  Master Marr from Glenridge, New Jersey who taught traditional forms; Grandmaster Jong Man Park from the Korean HapKiDo Federation who taught Kumdo; Rocian Gracie from the World Brazilian Jiujitsu Federation who taught Brazilian Jiujitsu; Sensei Marsich from Sanchi-Ryu who, together with Master Spillmann, taught street self-defense and pressure point attacks.
 

The camp benefited all who attended. The students all worked hard to physically test their individual limits and met all the mental and spiritual challenges of the intensive camp through diligence and immense effort. As one student said, "The sense of accomplishment is overwhelming.We all learned so much about martial arts and self-defense, as well as about ourselves." This year's camp was a huge success and we all are eagerly awaiting next year's challenges.
