| The Sell Team is a group of Black Belt athletes who desire to use their
talents for the glory of God. The Sell Team is lead by Edward and Brenda
Sell, two of the top ranking Black Belts in the world of Taekwondo. Grandmaster
Edward B. Sell,, founder of the U.S. Chung Do Kwan Association, is the
holder of a 9th Degree Black Belt. He is the only person in the world (outside
of the Korean nationality) to receive such a distinction from the World
Taekwondo Federation in Seoul, Korea. His wife, Grandmaster Brenda J. Sell
is the holder of a 8th Degree Black Belt. She carries a world title as
the first woman to officially test for this rank. The other Sell Team members
range from all ages, male and female. Each Sell Team member is a born again
Christian and a certified Black Belt who makes Jesus the Master of their
life. A talent is simply a gift that someone has taken the time to develop.
2 Timothy 4:14 says. "neglect not the gift that is with thee." Developing
our gifts requires discipline and determination. It takes approximately
2-3 years to become a Black Belt.
A Black Belt represents a champion – a champion of his/her own
weaknesses. Taekwondo is by far the most advanced form of hand and foot
martial arts, as was demonstrated in the 1988 Olympics. Taekwondo added
to its credibility by being the first and only hand and foot sport in
the Olympics. As in all other sports, Taekwondo emphasizes strengthening
discipline, concentration, integrity, and coordination as well as the
physical being. When a person becomes absorbed in training his body and
strengthening his mind, will, and emotions (soul), he soon discovers
a void in his life. The void of course is the spirit. In order to be
a “whole man” or a fulfilled person, we must be strong in
all three areas: body, mind, and spirit. Nothing can fulfill the void
in your spirit except Jesus Christ. God is a spirit and they that worship
Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
The teaching principles and the messages that The Sell Team have to
share are based upon the “Importance of becoming a Whole Man.”
1. Strong in Body - Physical conditioning
2. Strong in Mind - Good education
3. Strong in Spirit - Seeking after God |
