My present rank is a 4th degree certified master instructor. 

My college education is from Rutgers University obtaining a  Bachelor of Science Degree in Economics/Business Administration in 1978.   I worked in the business field and volunteered my extra time with special needs adolescents.  This experience was highly rewarding, so I pursued my Masters degree Special Education and in School Administration  from Kean University.  After pursuing my Masters degree, I felt the need to professionally be able to diagnose children with specific learning diabilities so I pursued a  NJ State Certification as a Learning Disabilities Teacher Consultant.

Professionally,  I started my teaching career at Somerset Educational Services Commission teaching emotionally disturbed adolescents.   I was recruited by the Superintendent of Watchung Hills Regional High School in 1986.   I teach Algebra for Special Services and Team Teach for the Math Department.

My husband, John and I have 3 children, Michael, Kelly and Daniel.  My oldest son, Michael started training in Soo Bahk Do at the age of 3 ½ under

the instruction Master Linda Morey in 1987.  In 1990, my daugher, Kelly and

my yougest son, Daniel started their Soo Bahk Do training also under Master Morey. Presently, Michael, John and I are Sam Dans; and Kelly and Daniel are E Dans.  The entire Chu Family has been competing in National Championships since1989.  My dream is for all of us to always have Soo Bahk Do in our “Hearts and Soul”!

Hi,

My name is Don Jackson.  I am 31 years old.  I started taking Soo Bahk Do karate when I was 11. I would like to tell you how Soo Bahk Do has made a different in my life. When I was young my hand eye coordination was very poor.  I had a hard time even catching a ball. Today my hand eye coordination and balance are good, I even go snow boarding now a days. I also had a hard time concentrating when I was young. When I started karate I was put in the tot class.  Today, I am a black belt and  I teach classes at Hwang Karate in Gillette.  As a child I found reading to be very difficult.  Today my reading is fine my spelling is not very good, but that what spell check is for. Soo Bahk Do karate has made a different in my life. I believe that karate will help one improve their hand eye correlation and concentration.   I firmly believe that one can always improve oneself. I know Karate has helped me and I believe that karate will help you to better yourself.
