Hey Robert! I wanted to send you some good news! The final numbers came in for your cover last year. Your cover was our 2nd bestseller all year! Right behind our first ever women’s issue (which we did promote quite a bit!) So your cover was very well received! Congratulations!! This is great news!!

Laura Stolpe Managing Editor TaeKwonDo Times

Monday October 12, 2009 Hello Robert! You have been selected into our Hall of Fame this year! Your official recognition will be Master of the Year. This will be in the January 2010 edition.  Congratulations! We are honored to have you!
