My background is in a system called Han Guk Mu Sool, and I hope to take up Kuk Sool Won once I get on my financial feet again. My question has to do with all the different Martial arts origiazations that seem to be everywhere these day, especially with the more well known arts. My question is why? The most common reason that I know of is that people grow dissatisfied with the direction their current origiazations is heading, but is that much dissatisfaction out there to have a dozen TKD or HKD federations/associations/groups? Are too many competing groups turning the martial arts into a morass of McDojos, with more focus on money and power then teaching? What about the friction between groups that is more then simple disagreements? Please note I am not accusing any group of anything unethical. I have always tried to avoid politics if possible, and I feel that there's a mindset out there that will ruin martial arts if it isn't addressed. Any opinions?

I have a 15 year old girl that is looking for a school in that area. She was training with and instructor that apparently didn't like her original GM from here in MI and has been giving her a hard time. So she is looking for a new place to train. Any suggestions? Thanks Scott ------------------------------ From: Powrscrol@aol.com Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 20:20:11 EDT Subject: the_dojang: Re: The_Dojang-Digest V7 #486 Different spellings denote different Wing Chun styles (Wing Chun, Wing Tsun, Ving Tsun, etc.) & lineages. Within the major styles, there are many substyles. I'll use the more common spelling. Collectively, Wing Chun represents the most economical MA I've ever seen. It used to take a relatively short time to learn (compared to most Gung Fu systems); but, commercialism has taken hold, so that formats have been expanded into many more yrs. training. LOL!
