A Labor of Love
Bill and Elena Carmody met during a Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan class. Their shared passion for martial arts was the foundation of their friendship long before they started dating. Bill is now eligible for his 5th Dan (a.k.a fifth degree black belt) and Elena has left her foundation of martial arts in order to pursue another art – the exquisite art of belly dancing. In 2020, they celebrated their 20th anniversary of a blissful marriage and wrote the Three Rules of Marriage as their gift to the world. As parents of two teenage boys, they know the importance of keeping the passion and romance in their marriage. They attribute their two decades of deeply loving each other to the daily practices outlined in the Three Rules of Marriage.
