I will also plug a new link on an old (short) article I attached to my page - the Wave theory - http://honetown.aol.com/ladytkd/page2/index.htm - It goes into why your techniques and forms will be better if you can relax as you initiate them and tense only at the last moment. They will be harder and faster - and you won't get as tired.

Wow! That is a loonnngggg drive. I really wish I could go, but am big time broke right now. One of my two pets became rather ill 5 weeks ago and racked up a rather large Vet bill before he died shortly thereafter. :( Hope that everyone that is able to attend has a grand time!
