Here's my two cents. I am currently a 1st Gup, in a WTF TKD school. We learn a basic poomse as white belts, and then we move on to the taegueks. (1-8) Well, now that I know #'s 1-8 I have to say that I probably sweat the most when doing the basic poomse. I think this is because every block, and every punch that I do, I try to make it as powerful, and as crisp as possible. I sweat more than the white belts who are just learning the poomse!!! Anyways, I guess I just wanted to say that if you try your hardest all the time, (even doing the basic punches, and blocks) you can get a really good workout. (and sweat a lot too) Jason Rastovski ------------------------------ From: Michael Pederson Date: Wed, 28 Apr 1999 23:48:52 -0400 Subject: the_dojang: Soju, Etc. > Korea had a plague of broken soju containers, so now soju is > distributed in small paper cartons like milk containers. ______________________________________________ There seem to be a lot of soju bottles (Jinro, Green Kombawoo, etc.) all over the place here ('haven't seen many broken ones). I've seen paper cartons in stores occasionally. Soju tastes like vodka with all residual smoothness removed and gives horrible hangovers. Mokkoli is much better, and I don't even drink that much. Soju costs about a dollar per bottle in Korea, but you can get it for around ten dollars in import shops in the U.S., so I hear. I wouldn't go out of my way... Michael P.

Our itinerary will take us from Paris to southern Netherlands (Rotterdam, the Hague), southern Denmark (Sondenberg), and southern Norway (Bergen). We will be traveling the month of July. Should I pack my Do Bok or leave it at home?

(from my limited understanding of this stuff) Check out the site http://www.orbs.org It is an attempt to filter out SPAM. There are sites that allow anyone and everyone to route e-mail through their site. I believe this is called open routing and it is a bad thing, bad in the sense that anyone (i.e. a SPAMmer) can send out tons of worthless e-mail. Sites that allow open routing get listed in the database maintained by www.orbs.org, many sites check incoming e-mail against that database, if it comes from a site listed in the database it is rejected. When it is rejected back to your site, your mail system lists it as 'user unknown' and sends the email back to you. This does not mean that YOUR site is a site that permits spam. It means that your site is routing through a site that permits spam, perhaps w/o their knowledge. So, if you submit a post to the list and it is bounced back with a 'user unknown' look for a line in the header mentioning relays.orbs.org. If you see relays.orbs.org tell your postmaster (postmaster@your.domainname) to check out www.orbs.org and to please route through a site that does not permit open routing. It will up to you to have your site correct the problem. Do what you can to help wipe out SPAM.
