May as well, seems like the rains didn't get to heavy till June and July. August is very hot, with Sept. and then October starting to cool off. Winter then gets cold.

Something for parents to think about..." ===== Kim Jones Kim, I couldn't agree more. I think the whole planet needs to slow down and realize some common sense. I will say this...when I was in Korea...it was still common that when sick...one work a mask to cover one's mouth and nose so one wouldn't spread the contagion. Is that still done there? I remember seeing that quite a bit when I was there in 84-85. I first thought they had a lot of TB in the country...until I learned that it an Asian practice to wear the mask even when you have a cold or flu. Damn considerate if you ask me! Wish I could atleast convince my countrymen here to do the same....but everyone is soooo fashion concious...it just won't fly. They'd rather spread the joy of their illness than risk looking anything less than perfect. John Hancock ------------------------------ From: "Emil J. Fisk" Date: Fri, 01 Oct 1999 02:47:03 +0800 Subject: the_dojang: cross-training and teaching Most people that stay in the martial arts long enough get to a point where they start questioning everything they do. Techniques are broken down into several components and analyzed, and methods of application and teaching come to mind. Many people will also start cross-training in different arts to find other benefits, skills, and philosophies, they can use. Now, one goal for those that x-train is to be able to successfully fuse all those different martial arts into one style that suits your person. But, you can't obviously teach your students hapkido, aikido, kajukenbo, and tang soo do at the same time without getting them incredibly confused. So for those of you that teach and x-train, how do you keep apart the different systems that you teach? Or do you just take elements from each and throw them together, and call it all hapkido or InsertYourSurnameHere-do? I'm still learning, but I've taken classes in judo, WTF, and muay thai, to be able to work at different ranges, but I only teach TKD. Anyone else has something to say about the merits of cross-training? Sincerely, Emil Fisk ------------------------------ From: "Emil J. Fisk" Date: Fri, 01 Oct 1999 11:10:22 +0800 Subject: the_dojang: Korean term I'm looking for the Korean term for a kick that is referred to as a spinning heel kick, or back hook kick. It's the one where you turn 360 degrees and make contact to the opponent's head with your heel. Anyway, the terms I've heard used sound something like momdolryeo-chagi, and bande-chagi. Does anybody know the exact meanings of these? Unless I'm mistaken, dolryeo means turning. Are there are other terms that you are familiar with? Where I practice at the moment (WTF), we don't use any Korean terminology apart from the commands, but call all the blocks, strikes, and stances by their English descriptive names. I thought it was about time to teach the blackbelts the proper Korean terms. Thank you. Sincerely, Emil Fisk ------------------------------ From: "Charles L.
