I'd appreciate any book or video references. > Thanks. > > Bob Michaelis > North Indy TKD I know of no book or video references, but you might check Paladin Press to see if they have anything on Pressure Point Control Tactics (PPCT). I am certified to teach Pressure Sensitive Nerve Areas (PSNA) which is very similar to PPCT. PSNA is taught to LEOs, prison guards, martial artists, etc. It covers 14 PSNAs on the head, torso, arms, legs. An instructor certification seminar takes two full days (I'm not certified to certify instructors). The basic seminars are about a 1/2 day each (I'm certified to teach the basic seminars). Instructor cert renewals are to occur every couple of years. There is a manual provided to those that take the class, but it isn't available outside a seminar. Fun stuff.

I was present (filming, actually) ringside when this ugly moment occurred, and thus felt I could lend some insight that the news media failed to express.

His idea was good, but it backfired due to a poor decision on the part of the referee. You see, according to WTF Rules, only the action the contestant or coach may give cause for disqualification. A "third party" entering the ring is a security violation that the hosting organization is responsible for, not the athlete or coach. >> Thank you for giving us a clear explanation of the situation and why things occurred as they did. I had read a comment earlier from a Canadian who indicated he felt that Mandy Meloon and Juan Moreno were both treated badly at the competition, but there was no further indication of why he felt that way. Your description of the circumstances in this instance helped me to have a better understanding of the situation. You paint quite a different picture from that of a wild-eyed, raving manager who intruded into the competition that I got from reading the excerpt from Edmonton.

But, I wonder whether it says more about the Koreans or the "dumb" Americans.

Interesting. Can you cite the article for us? Tang Soo! Scott ================================================= Hi ya Scott... The article is "Choosing Brick Breaking Materials." Written by Susan Link and Norman Link, 1997. I don't believe it's on the internet. Email me personally if you want more info.

Just one additional thought. A few people have equated martial arts with sports like gymnastics where touching also occurs. My feeling on this would be, how many people in the public or say a jury pool could tell you exactly what gymnastics is about and give examples. How many individuals in the community can define martial arts and what goes on in a dojang? Heck, even amongst ourselves that definition varies. I don't think we've yet cleared the barriers here. A thought and as always thanks to everyone for the great responses and opinions on this topic. I appreciate your time and effort.
