However, on this rainy morning, it's cold outside... my room is eternally cold, and I'm sitting here wearing a sweater... but the weather... augh... wat-ta-kat-ta... wat-ta-kat-ta... The weather gets worse depending on how far up the peninsula you are. My dad's probably having to dress much more warmly than I am, considering he lives in Tongduchon for the time being. Here in Seoul, it's more just a chance you take daily; some days it's warm, some days not. I've been here since April, and it's gone from warm to thermonuclear... this is pleasant, considering that the temperatures have started hovering back to under 20 degrees Celsius... there are mornings i can see my breath, like Thursday! Yay! Now, if we could see some snow in November, December... that'll be good.. :) ===== Kim Jones (ladytimberland@yahoo.com) Webpage - http://members.tripod.com/NekoChan00/ AOL IM - OmegaKage IcQ - 46316779 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Or do you just take elements from each > and throw them together, and call it all hapkido or InsertYourSurnameHere-do? I teach taekwondo. Every two weeks I also teach an Eskrima class, but not all TKD students participate in this training. Every weekend we also have Hapkido class (or two) led by my friend, 1st Dan HKD. We don`t really have problems with x-training. We do not want to "invent" new styles, we want to simply broaden our skills and avoid burnouts by making classes more versatile. Many students have also grades in more than one style. It`s up to the students what classes they participate in.

Fisk" Date: Sat, 02 Oct 1999 14:07:33 +0800 Subject: the_dojang: korean term Hi, As mentioned, there can be several different names for the same technique. However, I still would like to find out if there is anyone that can give me the exact definitions of the terms that I gave: 1. momdolryeo-chagi 2. bande-chagi (bandal chagi?) Andi and Mark both gave the terms for dwi-dolryeo chagi, where "dwi" would be the meaning for "back". That's the same word that's used for a dwi-kubi-seogi (back-stance). However, then another interesting point came up. By doing this, I'm also getting an insight into how other systems of Korean arts call their kicks, so please let me follow this train of thought! I believe that Andi described a hook kick, properly using the point of your heel, as making contact with the back of the head. I thought of the hook kick as being sort of a reverse turning kick, or a whipping kick. I think I may have heard this referred to as huryeo chagi? I would really appreciate any insight from anyone and everyone and hear some different terminology as I'm trying to create several different BASIC manuals on different topics for the blackbelts under my instructor. I offered to undertake the assignment as many of them pointed out that there is a lack of good, and cheap, reference books for the WTF system. Here are some of the topics for manuals that I've thought of so far: - - stances and blocks (incl. why and how the stances are used) - - strikes - - basic kicks - - tournament sparring (incl. tactics and rules of competition) - - tournament kicking - - footwork - - defensive maneuvers (incl. momentum, checking, body mechanics, etc.) - - importance of poomse and basics - - basic teaching manual (how to teach different things) - - stretching manual - - multiple attacker scenarios - - basic throws and grappling (incl. how to get out of a lock) - - other theory (a variety of ideas that will get them to start thinking) Please let me know if there's something you think should be covered that I may have left out. Keep in mind that these will be basic manuals for blackbelts between the ages of 17-20. Thank you.

Another interesting post from the Korean-Studies list. Ray - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear all, Check this out: http://korea.insights.co.kr/webzine/pathways/web/index.html It's my latest travel-article, this time on Taebaek-san and the Taebaek Cheonje [Ceremony for Heaven] held on its peak every Oct. 3rd or Kye-cheon-jeol [Heaven-Opening Day, or National Foundation Day]. It happens to be my first Web-publication. I'm leaving soon for Taebaek, to witness this ceremony on Sunday morn, for my third time. I'm bringing along 10 Yonsei University students, to introduce them to this fascinating continuation of Korean traditions. They are half the members of the Sam-guk-yusa-in-English Study Group (extra-curricular) that I started this semester. We use the 1972 Yonsei Press translation of Sam-guk-yusa as text, for simultaneously learning English and Korean cultural history. This expedition is our first field- trip. The students are enthusiastic about the group, so far. If any of you are in Korea, and climb up to this ceremony on Sunday (11am), we'll see you there! And while I'm here, let me also announce this: HIKING TOUR of rarely-visited mountains in Kyeongju, Korea's ancient capital, October 9th-10th, leaving from Seoul. Two rarely-visited sacred mountains, Dan-seok-san and Kyeongju Nam-san, will be explored and explained. Your chance to see some of Korea's best ancient Buddhist carvings, high up on the slopes. I'll be the not-so-Great Leader :-) Call RAS at 02-763-9483 to register, or me at 017-378-7590 for details. Prof. David A.
