(Chy-Ahn Tran & Luis Santiago)

Studying Hwa Rang Do as a couple has been a welcome challenge. We started at the school when we were still newly wed. We are on a continual pursuit of making HRD "a way of life," seeking the truth in ourselves. Training together has allowed us to realize our vulnerabilities as well as strengths as individuals, husband and wife, and our roles towards our families. With the rewards of training, there are also sacrifices that we are willing to give. One is being away from our families, foregoing other "activities" in order to make HRD our priority, and the insane commute we make from work to the dojang weekly are a few of our sacrifices and commitment to our training, and the people that have made us feel like family. -Chy-Ahn Tran
