I am very happy to see my long time friend, fellow student in training Jon Sloan. His dedication to the Martial arts has earned Him 6th Dan from Grandmaster Glen Morgan. Master Sloan's training began in the 1980's when He trained in Tang So Do. Now nearly 40 years later we are both still training in the arts.
