Train in the Martial Arts with Ferny Ceballos & Ray Fong in Los Angeles!
Saturday, July 12, 2008 posted by fceballos
I know, I know… It sounds insane, but hear me out.
As you probably know from many of our newsletters, along with doing marketing for the West Coast Hwa Rang Do Academy led by Chief Master Taejoon Lee, we also train in Hwa Rang Do 3-4 times per week.
Hwa Rang Do, over the past couple of years, has played a major role in our growth and journey towards financial freedom.
You see, Hwa Rang Do is not your run of the mill Mixed Martial Arts school… learning self-defense and martial arts techniques is only the beginning.
If I had to sum up the experience of training with Chief Master Lee it can be summed up in this quote:
“One who conquers others is strong;
One who conquers oneself is mighty.”
Lao-Tzu, 6th Century B.C.
One who conquers oneself is mighty.”
Lao-Tzu, 6th Century B.C.
Being able to beat someone up and win a martial arts tournament is easy.
Having your $#!+ together and keeping your life in order… that’s hard!
It’s this philosophy and way of life that has allowed Raymond and I to become financial independent, and overcome so many others of our personal demons.
As Master Lee would say, above all other forms of personal development, the martial arts is the only way to physically demonstrate your maturity and growth… you can’t hide… it’s very easy to tell if you are growing or not.
If you give up on a workout because it’s too hard, what’s to stop you from giving up on other things in your life.
You must…
Learn to conquer your fear of:
- failure
- humiliation
- getting hurt
- responsibility
Learn to conquer yourself by:
- doing more than you thought you could
- performing physical feats you thought would be impossible
- truly learn how the concept of “mind over matter” really works
- defy your physical ailments and conditions
Ferny Doing Martial Arts – Poetry in Motion
I must admit, I’m not the physical specimen you would normally think of when you think “martial artist”.
I’m 270 pounds and my belt size is the biggest in the school. When I came to the dojang to take my trial class 2 years ago, 20 minutes into the workout, I was out on my feet and almost passed out.
Today, I am a brown belt and I am proficient in submission fighting, kick/punch/throw sparring, and board breaking, among other things.
Things I never thought I would be able to do I can now perform easily – like spin kicks, axe kicks, side kicks, spinning heel hook, jump kicks and I’m currently learning the jumping spin kick.
A person my size normally should not be able to do these type of maneuvers, but it’s my commitment to achieve black belt and be a leader within the school, which allows me to overcome my physical limitations and continue rising through the ranks.
And it’s this gift, which we wish to extend to you.
This month on July 25th and 26th, Hwa Rang Do will be holding its annual Summer Seminars at the West Coast Hwa Rang Do Academy led by the founder of Hwa Rang Do, Supreme Grandmaster Dr. Joo Bang Lee and his eldest son, Chief Master Taejoon Lee.
It’s the only time of the year, where non-HRD people are invited to train in techniques, maneuvers and the healing arts only available to Hwa Rang Do 1st Dan Black Sashes and up.
Raymond and I are extending a personal invitation to everyone on our list to join us on these two days and train along side us in the Ancient Martial Art of Hwa Rang Do. It’s an opportunity to peak inside our journey towards self-betterment and discover the true secret to our success.
In fact, when you walk into the school and speak to a few of Master Lee’s students, you’ll immediately realize that this is not your normal testosterone, meat head filled, chump infested MMA school.
The pedigree of the caliber of people we train with include attorneys, company CEO’s, doctors, university professors, ivy league graduates, musicians, movie stars….. and of course, network marketers. (Me and Ray). 
Still a UFC Fanatic?
But there’s still something for everybody here…
If you like UFC or Mixed Martial Arts, you’ll love the takedowns, grappling, joint manipulation and sparring sessions.
If you long for the old days when disputes were settled with a duel, you’ll love our sword fighting and kumdo sessions.
If you’re into holistic health and alternative medicine, you’ll love the sessions with Supreme Grandmaster Dr. Joo Bang Lee as he dives into the ancient meditation and healing principles passed on to him by his master and Buddhist monk, Suahm Dosa.
If you want to take a trip on the wild side, discover our weapons and knife defense techniques.
So if this appeals to you and want to spend a weekend with Ray and I exploring some of the most private secrets to our success, go register here to join us in L.A., later this month:
The pre-registration deadline to get a 10% discount is today, so make some quick decisions and register to join us on July 25th and 26th.
You’ll also find a wide range of amazing videos of live Hwa Rang Do action and footage from past seminars here:
So again, this is a personal invitation for you to take part in something which is near and dear to our hearts.
We don’t make a single dime from this promo. We are inviting you because we truly feel that this will be an enriching and life transforming experience, and we’ll even talk some shop during breaks and lunch time.
Deadline is this Saturday to get a 10% discount on admission, so go now and register.
As for pricing…. let’s just say your plane ticket will probably cost more than attending.
See you on the mat!
To Conquering Yourself,
Ferny & Ray
