They indicated there was no such tourney. As for the article in TKD Times, I have seen some things in this magazine that were questionable. For example there was this nice article on a gentleman who had become a monk, and featured a pic of a gentle looking bald Korean man. Under the man's hand was a pack of marlboro's and a friend, who saw the pic, identified the location as a bar in which he had been. So much for vows. =) After pondering this tourney more in depth I remembered that the gentleman from richmond, had a gala event here a few years ago to celebrate his 25th year anniversary teaching in Richmond. I was present at this event. After looking at this picture in TKD Times it struck me that I had seen at least one of the other two men before. If I'm not mistaken, both of them were also performing in the gala event. Now what are the odds of this occuring? And, if this tournament was in Korea, for grandmasters only I might add, then why have none of my Korean sources heard of this tournament? I am glad my bs alarm wasn't the only one to go off. Thanks for all your help. I guess the conclusion is gonna have to be that this was not a sanctioned event by any body, except perhaps a private one. If anyone comes up with information from a more reputable source than tkd times, please let me know. Not that I have anything against TKD Times, but they do get rather busy, and it is unlikely they would check on every item submitted for publication. That would require a rather large staff, and would not be cost effective. Once again thanks all, Frank ------------------------------ From: JSaportajr@aol.com Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 19:48:23 EDT Subject: the_dojang: Re:boston marathon Today, I had the pleasure of standing half way up heartbreak hill in Newton, MA, to cheer on Grand Master Young Kwon of Teuksburry, MA, (8th Dan Taekwondo, 8th dan Hapkido, and former professional Tae kick boxer) in the Boston Marathon. He has run the Boston Marathon every year for the last ten or so years. He runs with his acupuncture needles in his pocket just in case he needs them. This year was his last. He is about 55 years old, and half way up heart break hill, some 19 miles into the race, he looked like he was really enjoying himself, smiling and waving, looking very fresh. How many masters at this age could do this? Grand Master Kwon was running with Master Robert Anktil of New Hampshire, who looked great too. Master Kwon takes on these challenges in order to inspire his students to pursue life long training. It was certainly inspiring to me. Jose' ------------------------------ From: "Jere R. Hilland" Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 21:09:48 -0400 Subject: the_dojang: MD HapKiDo Seminar Hopefully everyone around the DC area will be at the seminar hosted by my teacher and friend, Master J. R. West (8th dan) and his most talented wife Master Renee West (5th dan). If you do not make it and you can, shame on you. No reason not to go. I will not be able to attend this time as I did to the last one in MD as I am saving up for the trip to Korea this summer with these two and others; nevertheless, if you get a chance to go and work out - go! I promise you will have a good time. Do not go if you like to sit and listen to teachers talk, or you like to stand around and watch others practice. Go if you like to learn and practice. Hope to see you next time. I flew from Cinti to DC last time, and I hope to see everyone at the next one. You will not be dissapointed!!!!!!!

So as a good mom should....I will bow out and let Master Lee do his job. I know there will be a few of you who will disagree but my daughter knows best what she wants and as long as she wants to continue and is enjoying it I will let her stay. Thank you again for all the input I received. ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 20:36:16 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [none] ------------------------------ End of The_Dojang-Digest V7 #255 ******************************** It's a great day for Taekwondo!
