For over 10 years John Nottingham’s USA Martial Arts is the proud host of the Korean Eagle Taekwondo Demonstration Team from the Dondomoongu District in Seoul, South Korea.

The Eagle Team is one of Korea’s premier Martial Arts All-Black Belt Demonstration/Performance groups.  Headed by Grandmasters Jung Hwan Jin and Chang Joo Park, the Eagles travel the world dazzling their audiences with high flying kicks and amazing feats of board breaking.  The demonstration and show put on by these children, ages 6– 16,  is second to none!  

300-500 boards are broken at every show with high-flying action!  It was an amazing display of great talent, focus, discipline and concentration.  Taekwondo, an Olympic sport featured in the 2008 Beijing Games, is based on traditional Korean Martial Arts, and is one of the world’s most popular martial arts due to its organization, the benefits of confidence, fitness and focus and its trademark spectacular kicking techniques.   

On thier visit to Arizona, the Team was featured on KPHO Channel 5 News and KTVK Channel 3 News.   Mayor Mary Manross proclaimed the week of August 13 - August 19 2008 as official Korean Eagle Teakwondo Demonstration Team Week.  While here in the United States, the Korean Eagle Team has performed for thousands of children in public and private schools, at Shriner’s Childrens Hospitals, sporting events and for local Dignitaries and Officials.  Touring around the world, the Team has performed at Buckingham Palace and more.



JOHN NOTTINGHAM”S USA MARTIAL ARTS – CULTURAL EXCHANGE
USA Martial Arts is located in Paradise Valley - North Scottsdale area where the Eagle Team will perform for local school children and the community.  In addition, while visiting, the Team will be hosted by USA Martial Arts students and families so the Korean children can get a taste of life in the USA.  They visit local attractions, schools and points of interest in the Phoenix Paradise Valley Scottsdale area.

In 1998 and 2000 Master Nottingham lead a team of his students to Korea for a tour, training with the Eagle Team and cultural exchange.  The students had the opportunity to meet with the Mayor and several dignitaries of the Dongdemoongu District of Seoul and gained media attention, appearing on the local news.  There, Master Nottingham and USA Martial Arts was honored with recognition as an official sister school. 

In 2007, Master Nottingham and students returned to South Korea to attend the First Taekwondo World Culture Expo and Championship.  Master Nottingham’s students competed in the tournament and took home an impressive 6 Gold Medals.

This is the 8th time master Nottingham has hosted the Eagle team here in the United States.  Past performances have included schools in Arizona, Illinois, Utah, California, Washington, New Mexico and Texas.  Scottsdale Mayor Mary Manross attended the 2007 performance as part of the Grand Opening Celebration of Master John Nottingham’s USA Martial Arts of Scottsdale as well as 2008's charity show.  Representatives were also invited from the local police, fire and community departments.
