And, frankly I decided to stick with TKD. I liked Kung Fu, it's a great style, and it gave me some better insights on how people do things differently (and why) but it just wasn't me. >> Chris, I think you've hit at least one nail on the head -- cross training can give you better insight into how things can be done differently. Incorporating the differences into your style or training is a very personal choice; but a martial artist shouldn't fail to see that it is not necessarily true that there is only one "right" way.

To paraphrase, an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force. Unless the cat, human, etc., has something to push (react) against, they're going to keep going in the same direction as when they started. If you don't believe it, try an experiment. Throw the cat at a board full of nails on a wall, and see if he can make a 90 degree turn to avoid it. Same thing applies to humans - if you're in the air doing a flying side kick, you're not going to change directions in mid-air to hit your target if he steps out of the path you're flying along. You may be able to change your orientation, but not your direction. - -> Boy!! u must think I'm superwoman or something. I am just - -> starting to try flying - -> kicks.

Chung's karate school 2. Illinois taekwondo I left Chicago in 1976 and have been unable to locate Master Chung since." I would like to help you, but Chung is like Smith. I will ask my GM if he may have heard of the school, however, he has only been in this area since 1988 but he does know most, if not all, of the GM's in the Chicago area. If you can get a first name, that would help. If not, I'll see what I can find out.

Due to continued refinement of TKD techniques, its kicks are producing injuries and every once in a while a death from sparring. The protective gear only spreads the energy from the impact out over a larger area. Ribs definitely can and do get broken through the chest protectors. When other styles of martial arts reach a point were their techniques are strong enough to regularly injury the competitors, I suspect they will invest in protective gear too.
