R. West" << In my opinion, the "HapKiDo Bible" or the "HanMuDo" text are also excellent, however, there is a lot of duplication between these two books, and the other offerings are largely duplications of the HanMuDo text. >> Master West, in your opinion, if someone were to begin with an initial investment in one of Dr. Kimm's books, which one would you suggest? ------------------------------ From: ABurrese@aol.com Date: Sun, 5 Mar 2000 16:26:52 EST Subject: the_dojang: Re: Philosophy of Masters Thanks for the info. I will have to put this on the list to try and get in the near future. Have to pay for Yi Saeng to get back over here and the wedding first though. :-) I should find out later today if she has the visa! As of right now 2:30 pm MT time, it is 6:30 am Monday in Korea. She goes in for an apt. at 8:30. Finding out the book is in both Korean and English makes me want it even more, since I am working on my Korean and will work even harder when Yi Saeng is back over here. It will be a good book for us to read together. Help my Korean and her English. I have a nice copy of the "Tao te Ching" in both Korean and English to read together too.

It's frustrating, because I haven't encountered this problem before, and this form will be with me for at least another 15 months. First of all, what do you all consider "flow" to be, and do you have any suggestions to improve it? I have tried visualization, but it hasn't helped (probably because I can't get it to flow in my mind, either). I have also struggled with this particular form with the turns...the time before this that I competed with it, I ended the form facing the wrong direction, though yesterday, I did get the turns right. Any ideas?
