Karate Grandmaster and full time Christian Missionary Visits CHA

David Sgro,  is visting Christian Home Academy on Friday October 1st 2010.  Mr. Sgro has sold everything and he and his family have moved entirely by faith to be full time missionaries in Guatemala.  Below is a little bio on Grandmaster (Tang So Do) Sgro.  While he is here he will be giving his testimony to our students and working with our Karate Ministry both at  CHA and at our other Karate Ministry at Evangel Temple Assembly of God Southwest campus.  Parents are invited to attend Friday night at Evangel Temple S.W. campus at 6:30 and all karate students are welcome to attend as well.  The address is 5040 County Rd. 218, Middleburg, FL 32068 (directly across the street from Wilkinson Jr. High.

Guatemala update:
We moved here mid June. We drove from Fayetteville, NC to Miami, FL. we bought “One Way” tickets here. Now, imagine as you are packing to move to a Guatemala and shortly before you move the country has, in 1 week, a Volcanic Eruption that blankets volcanic ash onto my new front porch, an earthquake, and a tropical storm that dumps 36 inches of rain in one hour?

Imagine you move there and 150 ft of the retaining wall around your home  has collapsed and you have to stay in a hotel for 2 days because the 6 units in front of you are flooded with over 3 feet of water in their first floor, but your unit isn’t affected?!? Imagine 3 months later (last week) there was a major drug bust where Cops and Soldiers had a 30 minute shoot out that occurred IN THE SAME LOBBY that you and your children stayed in just 3 months earlier.

Imagine that you went to visit Antigua with your family to visit the market and on the way home the road was cut off by a landslide, so you had to take an alternate route home. Later that exact same route that you took home became International News when an Avalanche swallowed a bus killing over 50 people.

That is just some of the major ways God has been protecting us and guiding us here in the last 3 months!

KJN Sgro was a long time student of KJN Charles Ferraro (Kwan Jang Nim and Founder of Tang Soo Do Mi Guk Kwan), who was a great influence and life mentor. KJN Sgro was also highly influenced on a technical level by KJN HC Hwang (Grandmaster of Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan; Dan #509). KJN Sgro has had many wins at National & International competitions and was Coach for Team USA (1999 London, 2001 Athens, 2002 Holland, 2003 London, 2006 Athens, 2007 USA).


KJN Sgro is currently a student of KJN Song Ki Kim, Founder of the World Dang Soo Do Union (Dan #312). "Grandmaster Kim is very humble and an accomplished teacher who is relatively unknown here in the US," says Sgro, "but as it has been said that you know a tree by its fruits." Grandmaster Kim has produced many well known amazing martial artists. His students include a long list of Who's Who in Tang Soo Do not the least of which is Chuck Norris (Dan #2819).
