Should any of the people who view this survey elect to use this form to respond please do NOT respond to the digest or the VA address. Please use my e-mail address at bsims@midwesthapkido.com . here goes. "...but most of all I really want to know what your think ." The new millenium brings us an opportunity to stop and take stock of our training efforts and to reflect on our traditions, examine our current progress and to develop a view for the future. Regardless of our stylistic approach, organizational loyalties and individual affiliations we practitioners are bonded by a love of a tradition whose roots extend well into the past. As the present stewards of this tradition we are also required to pass this gift on to the next generation along with the greatest possible chances for survival of the art. As my contribution to this effort during this weekend celebration of Hapkido I offer each of you an opportunity to voice your thoughts and positions regarding some of the more important issues facing our art as we move into the next century. Rather than take time from your training, or socialization with some formal venue, I am providing this simple questionaire which you can complete here at the seminar and return to me at the close of the training each evening. Best Wishes and take time to truly enjoy your training experience.
