Hello! I have a Korean friend at my dojang who wants to know how to print Hangul documents his friends send him. His PC is running Windows 98. He has a Hewlett Packard Inkjet Printer, an 832C. Heyyyy... Ray, don't you work for...? I think these are HTML pages, not Word docs. I don't know if Korean/Hangul drivers came with the printer.

Hi Mark, I've held boards quite a bit during testing and 'breaking parties', and the main use for crossing arms was to help equalize the arm lengths of the holders. As you noted, its important for both people to have their arms locked out. If one person's arms are longer, this screws up the alignment of the boards. Even though it seems that the distance fromthe holders to the boards is equal, the geometry of the arms is such that by properly arranging yourselves, one person (the ape) will have farther to reach. The same is true for interlocking the legs. The person with shorter legs positions themself such that their rear-leg calf crosses the rear-leg shin of the taller person. I should note that these are minor adjustments and can't make up for gross mismatches in holders' size. Obviously you should pick folks of equivalent size to hold together. Hope this was useful!

Wrong! The first rule of a knife > fight is YOU WILL GET CUT. Accept that fact and train with that in mind. Agreed Ray. I still remember a FMA black belt grading here in Poland, when one of the elements was knife sparring with "painting" soft knives (when you get "cut", you get painted). I think there was nobody who could finish the fight without a "bruise" at least. And there were people who also mostly had black belts in different other styles, from Wing Chun to Kyokushin Karate.

Direct ice for 5 minutes every hour; ice pack (I've been using a half water, half rubbing alcohol mixture, double bagged in Ziploc bags, then frozen, but you can just use regular ice, say in a ziploc to keep it from getting too messy) 15 minutes every hour, making sure there is a towel (or other cloth material) between the ice and your body. (2) anti-inflammatories (aspirin, ibuprofen, _not_ Tylenol) for several days. I find the faster faster the incident I can ice a problem, the less of a problem it is....Good luck. From: "Jim Griffin" Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2000 15:07:00 EDT Subject: the_dojang: Holy Hamstrings The good news is that my TKD school has an official club where I work which means I get an extra hour (approximately) workout at lunchtime on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The bad news is that today in the middle of an overly aggressive skipping side-kick, my hamstring on my base leg made a muffled "boing" noise and proceeded to hurt like a monkey. So far, the advice I've had includes 1) keeping ice on it for the first 24 hours then heat and 2) applying Tiger Balm liberally to the area. Any other words of wisdom? (By the way, yes - I realize that I didn't warm up and stretch out enough and that my side kick was aimed too high.)

Even with a martial arts background it opened my eyes seeing what a trained knife fighter (in the film, Dan Inosanto and a few other filipino knife fighters demonstrated) Pretty much echoed what Master Whalen has said about knife fighting.
