Much easier to start and fund and get going. There is also much more interactivity possible. I for one would be happy to work with others to give it a whirl.

If one of the people involved is female and one is male, I can understand why you might not have wanted to muddy the waters with gender issues; but if I'm not mistaken, you did use "he" and "him" and "his" several times in referring to both the student and the instructor. < whoops... I tried so hard to not use he or him... but in any case it is two males. I only wanted to not use he/she, him/her, etc. so that name-calling would not ensue (humph... males... or, yeah females...)... silly me, things like that would never happen on the digest.... 8) oh well...

I don't remember who wrote the article. It made reference to Tae'Kyon and the fact that it is now considered a Korean National Treasure and has been issued a registration number. I will try to find it as soon as I can. That is the reference that I used to qoute that Tae'Kyon translates to Smashing with the feet. If you know something more regarding this maybe you would post it on the list. Take care and good training.

In a number of interviews with Grandmaster Choi, this point was brought up. When asked if he accompanied Takeda on demonstrations Grandmaster Choi, stated that he did and went on to name the others that were with him on a demonstration in Hawaii. I must agree with Jeremy at this point. Does it matter? Was and is the system that Grandmaster Choi, shared with so many effective? The only thing that should matter at this point is your training. There is no room within the Martial Arts for the my Dog is bigger than your dog mentality. Train to live and live to train.

That is the one thing that you and only you can decide. If this person has violated your teachings or beliefes in any manner, he made his own fate. Good luck and comprimize for no one. Remain true to your teachings It will take care of you.

Don't think I have ever seen anyone smile so much. I went into Sang Moo Sa with him in Korea along with a friend of his who always dressed as a monk and carried a sword, and I saw a book written by him sitting on the self. So I bought it and he autographed it at the counter. You can spot him in many of the photos on our website. Jere R.

That is, people claiming to be a higher rank than they are, such as all the self proclaimed 10th dans you see in hapkido and taekwondo? BTW there are 2 honorary 10 dans in taekwondo, the President of the IOC and the President of the Kukkiwon. There are none in hapkido. I do not think that either honorary taekwondo 10th dans hold any real rank. Jere R.

My understanding is that is apparently not the case. Supposedly neither of CHOI Yong-sul's Japanese names appear in any of Takeda's records, and of course the family claims to have never met or seen him. CHOI Yong-sul claimed to have been a servant boy to the Takeda's, yet they claim they never ever had any servants as they were far too poor to afford that luxury. ??? > ...

The only thing that should > matter at this point is your training. Agreed. The history stuff is interesting, but (IMHO) what really matters is how one's training works when the feces is hitting the oscillator.
