The other day, the Hapkido world lost one of their own. After battling cancer for years Master Mike Wollmershauser passed away. Master Mike was the head of the American Hapkido Association and 8th degree black belt under Dojunim Choi, Yong-Sool (Hapkido's founder) and Grandmaster Lim, Hyun-Soo. Master Mike was the only non-asian to study with Dojunim Choi, Yong-Sool and created a naming system for many of the techniqes that previously had only numbers or long descriptions. He was a major contributor in spreading Hapkido along the Northeast of the United States.
Every year Master Mike held his annual black belt dinner and this past year he himself did the demonstration. Even in his condition at the time, he put on a great demo.
He will be missed.
