Two things came to mind and I was wondering if anybody out there already tried these. I have for other organizations but not martial arts. 1). One would be an Asian or International Dinner night (depending on the diversity of people in your school). This would be informal, early evening like some of the church's do. You get your best people (volunteers) together to cook favorite Asian or other international foods (much like some public schools do the "Spaghetti Dinners"). Limited menu would be the easiest. Spaghetti Dinners are always very popular. Try and get grocery stores or others to donate as much as possible. Perhaps you have some talented children or adults that could sing or play music or do a traditional dance. Also use this as a teaching moment to show how to use chopsticks, etc. And, 2). Tied in with testing or tournaments (same day) have a Fun/Run Walk. This would be for everyone: mom, pop, sisters/brothers, spectators or other townspeople. It could be a 1 mile Fun/Run walk where anybody could participate. Walk at your own leisure. You could have a time prediction associated with this where nobody wears watches but prior to the walk they predict how long it would take for them to do the walk. You could also do a 5K for the more ambitious. Lots of parents and friends I know usually participate in other sports even if they are not into the martial arts. Good promotional thing for the school if you were able to hand out Tshirts with your school logo on it. Of course I realize the logistics of each particular environment would have to be addressed. Just throwing out some thoughts. jamaica_power@hotmail.com _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

If someone wants to start a business, here's an opportunity! Stan slim@employees.org >> For a great site with pics of these HanBoks go to www.adoptkorea.com/hanboks.htm The business is owned by a woman who has adopted Korean kids. They are absolutely gorgeous and don't cost anymore than the christening suit most American Christians buy. They also make them for adults now for special occasions and everyday use. A long time ago someone asked how to get traditional Korean clothing and this site is probably the best I've seen. At another site ] Han Bok ] I learned that Korean kids have a party for their 100th day birthday and also have one each year. The site is brief but describes the role Han Boks play in Korean culture. Enjoy!

I'm still savoring the moment. :) Yum.. Love this food as long as it's fresh. Only got sick once and that was in (believe it or not) a fancy, dancy hotel sushi bar in Boston. Go figure. That was as pathetic as eating a bad raw oyster. Nothing worse. Even a full glass of cold beer can't kill that wicked, wicked taste. I like to make my own Maki Sushi. jamaica_power@hotmail.com _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

It has taken and I am hooked. Now, my friend is 3rd Dan although you wouldn't know it outside the dojang. He exemplifies to me the humility and control that the Dans are supposed to manifest. It never occured to me to refer to him in the familiar first person in the dojang as it is not encouraged by the teachers of the adults. No sweat. At church we use our first names in every circumstance, but that is an entirely different situation. We're very close friends but in the martial arts he is my teacher and, as such, deserves that respect. (This doesn't mean that there aren't times I get annoyed that my "good friend" is wearing me out in class! :-) ) However, I have noticed some of the children referring to the other teachers in the familiar first person and, frankly, it bothers me. IMHO, children shouldn't be encouraged to refer to adults in ANY situation that way. We have enough trouble with authority in the States without fostering more of it. This raises a question: Why, if the martial arts are supposed to teach respect as one of its core principles, do we have such a debate about what to call our teachers? Are we not defeating our purpose to some extent? Please understand that I am in no way being contentious about this. Thoughts? ------------------------------ From: Date: Sun, 9 May 1999 20:51:25 -0700 (PDT) Subject: the_dojang: RIP I just heard that Professor Sig Kufferath, Dai Shihan, passed away Saturday. Prof. Kufferath was born in 1911 in Honolulu. 'Sig', as he was known to most, was recognized as a 10th Dan in several arts & organizations, including his primary art of Danzan-Ryu JuJutsu. One of those that was a friend to all. He will be missed...
