But it is time to mention it again for our many new subscribers, as several have unfortunately been contacted by this individual. - --------------------------------------- From a February issue of the_dojang: I continue to encourage folks to be active on any and all MA lists and/or newsgroups. But unfortunately the following is what is being sent to many of our subscribers. So very sad that this has been occurring for over two years now... "Also, you should be aware that tkd net has a boycott on Dojang Digest, because of the inappropriate disrespectful behavior of the list owner, Ray Terry, and if you post there again, either from this address or XXXX@YYY.ZZZ, we will have to unsubscribe you from tkd net. Sorry, but that is the current policy." See issues v05.n115, v05.n121, v05.n209, v05.n320, and v06.n121 of the_dojang for directions that I posted, and issue v05.n339 for directions another person posted, on how to join the above list. And, of course, past issues of the_dojang are freely available for online searching to those actively researching the KMAs for the wealth of info that you all contribute.

According to Dakin Burdick the KTA was founded in 1959 as the Korean T'aesudo Associaton. On Sept. 14, 1961 the KTA met and elected Choi Hong-Hi as president. On Aug. 5, 1965 the KTA was renamed the Korean Taekwondo Association. See http://www.indiana.edu/~iutkd/history/tkdhist.html Regards Robert Martin From: "Gecko K.

Sub-Styles: Branch styles, if any. =========================================================================== T'aeggyon (aka. Tae Kyun, Tae Kyon) Intro: A traditional martial art of Korea. Origin: Korea. History: T'aeggyon has been designated as a national treasure of Korea. Originating around the start of the nineteenth century, T'aeggyon is often described as a parent art of the more famous t'aegwondo (aka. Tae Kwon Do, T'aekwondo, Taekwon-Do). T'aeggyon, as a traditional Korean martial art, was illegal during the Japanese Occupation of Korea (1910-1945) and only two masters were still active at the end of that era. The most famous of these was Duk-Ki Song, who repopularized t'aeggyon in the late 1950s. Renewed interest in t'aeggyon influenced the development of t'aegwondo, which until then had closely mirrored its Japanese antecedent of Shotokan karate-do. Description: T'aeggyon is a game that serves to bridge the striking arts and the grappling arts. The person who gets the first point wins the bout. You can earn a point by: 1. Kicking the opponent in the head. 2. Throwing or sweeping the opponent to the floor. Training: Students learn crescent kicks, roundhouse kicks, and sweeps, as well as some throws reminiscent of yudo (aka. judo). Open palm pushes are the most common hand technique. Falling is also an important part of training, including dive rolls, etc. Students are divided into lower ranks (ma-dang) and upper ranks (pum). Sub-styles: Practitioners in Pusan apparently allow front thrust kick during sparring. The Seoul branch (at least those under Ki-Hyun Do) do not allow any thrust kicks (ie. no front kicks or side kicks). The Seoul branch also does not teach any closed fist techniques or pressure point strikes. Videos of the Pusan style are available from Robert Young at his Korean Martial Arts Resource (KMAR) web page. ------------------------------ From: "Tomlinson, Michael E."

He brought his family to Florida on vacation and like a true Hapkido man he wanted to get a workout in and share his amazing knowledge with someone. Two of my students and I were in luck. We met him at his hotel in Orlando and we went over techniques on the hotel's basketbal court for approx. three hours. Much to the curiosity of the hotel's guests at the pool and picnic area!! Les is a great Hapkido brother and if anyone has the chance to learn from him you should jump at the chance. He is a very awesome individual. I now have the memories of falling from some incredible kickbreaking techniques in the grass! This man is not only a master and gentleman, but has the ability to explain some very advanced concepts in terms that everyone can understand. It was quite a treat, if you are in the Los Angeles area look up his Dojang in Monrovia Ca. you will not regret it.
