TWISTED LIMB
MARTIAL ARTS
Grandmaster West first received his Black Belt in 1967 during his contact with the Korean Tiger Division (ROK Capital Cavalry) while serving an extended tour as a communications specialist in Binh Dinh Province in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam. West's Hapkido Academy opened its doors in 1973 in Jackson, MS when GM West was a 3rd Dan. After searching the southeastern United States he was fortunate enough to become associated with Dr. He-Young Kimm. The two began a friendship in the 1970s which continues to this day. Dr. Kimm regularly teaches clinics at West's Hapkido Academy as well as acting as GM West's friend, mentor and advisor.
