Page 52 March 2012 founded Kyuki-Do as a Korean martial art in 1967, wanted to start a new discipline combining Tae Kwon Do, Judo and Hapkido. Grand Master Kim started the American Kyuki-Do Federation in 1979 in the Midwest, not far from that small town in Wisconsin. After earning his black belt in four years, Mullis was asked to be an apprentice to the Grand Master, and later became an instructor and sole proprietor. Mullis says his philosophy can be summed up in two words: “Never quit.” He opened his fi rst school at 28 at Thomas and Scottsdale roads. After two years, it became apparent that location was not going to work. He kept teaching his faithful students from the workout room at his apartment complex clubhouse. It kept the school – and his dream – alive. A few months later Grand Master Kim came into town and encouraged Mullis. He rented a space at 34 th Street and Thomas Road. After a 10-year lease ended in 2005, he moved a few doors down from Elie’s Deli at 45th Street and Thomas. It’s a family business now, with Mullis’ wife helping at the front desk, greeting visitors and students. The couple met in Martha’s hometown of Guaymas, Mexico and the two were married in 2008. As an active member of the community, you can see Master Mullis in his dobok (uniform) at ANLC during Exploration Fridays, or if you stop by the dojang to take a free class. “It’s not about learning to fi ght and it’s not all about self-defense,” Mullis said. “Once they learn it’s more about the mind, body and spirit and the objectives you set for yourself, the guard comes down and the mind opens up.” Mullis said his greatest satisfaction comes from students who come back to tell him about an instance in which their martial arts training helped them overcome a life challenge.

Attorney at Law Wills - Trusts - Estate Planning - Probate www.sharonravenscroft.com sravenscroft@cavanaghlaw.com / (623) 815-7451 Contact Sharon D. Ravenscroft, Esq., Beneficiary Deed in essence is a “pay on death designation” for real property. Upon a person’s death, the named beneficiary can record a death certificate and obtain title to the property. Probate is not needed. Without a Beneficiary Deed, real property needs to be probated unless it is held in trust. The Beneficiary Deed is fully revocable until the owner dies or if there are two owners, until the last owner dies. The Beneficiary Deed is a great tool for people who do not want to have a trust and have “pay on death” designations on their accounts. The Beneficiary Deed is not a good tool to leave real property to more than three people or to minors or to adults with special needs receiving government assistance. A Why a Beneficiary Deed? Sharon’s practice focuses on the preparation of wills, trusts and other estate planning documents, such as powers of attorney, domestic partnership agreements and premarital agreements, as well as trust administration, probate, creation of LLCs and business law. 13250 N.
