Ryan strongly believe in the tradition of our martial art but also feels it is important, for progression, to question everything and to really think about how things work, and adapt if necessary. To this end, he taught himself a new sword form (Jung Koop Jang Gum Hyung) and adapted it to work better for DTSD.  For his 5th dan grading, Ryan presented this sward form at an seminar and it has now been incorporated into the DTSD syllabus.
