If someone could draw it and either send it to me by snail mail or email, I would be eternally grateful...and link to them on the UMass WTF TKD website. To find my snail mail address, email me. Thanks so much if anyone could be of assistance. - -Leah Makuch >> Leah, Are you wanting the Chinese character for journey, or the hangul? Korean Hangul is a phonetic alphabet, so if you know the Korean word, you just spell it with Korean Hangul. Journey in Korean is yo-haeng. You can find web sites with Korean easy enough, and you can look up the Korean for "yo" "h" "ae" and "ng" those are the four Hangul "letters" you need. If you want the Chinese character for journey, which many Koreans read as well, then you need to look it up in a book of characters. Most book stores have Chinese or Japanese Kanji books, and it will be the same. Each country just pronounces it different when they read the character. Hope this helps a bit.

With the advent of websites etc., it is easy to make all sorts of incorrect claims, and much of the time you would never even know about it unless you stumble across the site (or they have the audacity to request a link to your own site to further substantiate their errant claim). I do not regard myself as someone's Instructor unless I have made a significant contribution to that "student's" martial art career. In addition, I do not feel as someone's Instructor unless I have also promoted that "student" after testing him or her on the material I taught. IMHO, promoting does not include recognizing certification from a major organization offered as proof of current rank. When I promote someone, I test this person and "advance" him or her in rank (if the test is done to my satsifaction). At least this is how I perceive promotion. There seems to be a growing tendency to name someone as his or her Instructor after one or more seminars have been taken with that person. This trend to take advantage of someone's reputation in the martial art community (instead of gaining your own reputation on the mat over many years) seems to be a misguided way to improve the offender's status. IMHO, this is misleading, and it has no place in martial arts. Am I being old fashioned in my perception of what it takes to be an Instructor? Just wondering how others on the list feel about this issue. Sincerely, Rudy National Korean Martial Arts Association ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 11:48:47 PST Subject: the_dojang: veal > Light weight training is great, but (correct me if I am wrong)I believe heavy weight training diminishes flexibilty.

IMHO heavy weight training shouldn't significantly decrease your flexibility, assuming you're still working on your flexibility.
