I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault. In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. Having control over myself is nearly as good as having control over others. My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of good judgment. I can change any thought that hurts into a reality that hurts even more. I honor my personality flaws, for without them I would have no personality at all. I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me. I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper, and complain. As I learn the innermost secrets of the people around me, they reward me in many ways to keep me quiet. The first step is to say nice things about myself. The second, to do nice things for myself. The third, to find someone to buy me nice things. I am at one with my duality. Blessed are the flexible, for they can tie themselves into knots. I will strive to live each day as if it were my 50th birthday. Only a lack of imagination saves me from immobilizing myself with imaginary fears. Does my quiet self-pity get to you or should I move up to incessant nagging? Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so." False hope is nicer than no hope at all. A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the problem. Who can I blame for my own problems? Give me just a minute... I'll find someone. Why should I waste my time reliving the past when I can spend it worrying about the future? I am learning that criticism is not nearly as effective as sabotage. Becoming aware of my character defects leads me to the next step: blaming my parents. I will find humor in my everyday life by looking for people I can laugh at. To have a successful relationship I must learn to make it look like I'm giving as much as I'm getting. I am willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them. No way will I accept >YES< for an answer ! ------------------------------ From: samiller@Bix.Com Date: Tue, 05 Oct 1999 08:19:31 -0400 (EDT) Subject: the_dojang: Re: V6 #477: kick terminology This is an interesting thread. I'm beginning to suspect that when practioners separate into their own schools and systems, the terminology is thefirst thing to diverge. We have a kick to which we refer as "dwi huryo chagi", or "back wheel". This is spinning back "whipping" kick in which the leg is fully extended and locked, or nearly so, and the foot turns sideways so as to strike with the outside point of the heel, usually to the head. This is the kick of which Carlos "Chuck" Norris seems so fond. Our front and back hook kicks are called "yup huryo chagi" and "dwi yup huryo chagi", respectively. One kicks past the opponent as if delivering a side kick, then retracts the lower leg so as to strike the opponent with the heel (again, the head is the customary target).
