Grandmaster Park was present at Mr. Serdinsky's 4th Dan Test in 1996 and Certified him in The GTF. In 2003 at the WTA World Championships Mr. Serdinsky and one of his senior students performed at the opening ceremony, demonstrating one of the patterns Grandmaster Park invented in honor of his passing. Master Serdinsky has also trained with Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee, and Grandmaster Yong Il Kong. In 2005 Master Serdinsky led a demonstration team at the USTF National Championships in Dallas, Texas. The demonstration was to honor the great Grandmaster Nam Tae Hi. Grandmaster Nam Tae Hi was responsible for creating the Taekwondo patterns Hwa Rang, Choong Moo, and Ul Ji. He is truly one of the founding fathers and pioneers of Taekwondo. 5 of the original Korean Demonstration Team members were present at that time making this demo very prestigious. Master Serdinsky not only honored the Grandmasters with the patterns they invented, he also honored his instructor by performing a 15 minute self-defense demonstration that displayed how all of the arts can work together. Grandmaster McNeely was responsible for making Master Serdinsky the complete, well rounded martial artist he is.
