Consistent with our warrior/scholar philosophy of encouraging ongoing academic education among Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan practitioners, the Region 10 Dan Association is again sponsoring the Richard O’Donovan Memorial Scholarship Awards. The scholarship is named in honor of Richard O’Donovan, Kyo Sa Nim, Dan #31554 (1921-2002), who inspired many by his dedication to the Federation.
