Our student spotlight this week is on Allan Wolf.  allanwolfAllan is a tremendous contribution to the community here at Sun Soo.  He has practiced Tae Kwon Do for 5 years and recently earned his 2nd degree black belt.  Allan is a poet and author who tours regularly and has been recognized internationally for his works which are mostly directed at youth audiences.  In the do-jang, Allan brings a unique enthusiasm and creativity to his practice and to all his interactions with other students.  He readily offers his kind feedback and encouragement to new practitioners.  We also love that Allan practices with his teenage sons, Simon and Ethan.  All three of them train hard together and support each other as a family! We are grateful that Allan is part of our family here and that he brings his A game to every class!
