Dear Prince: You are making a mistake, but it is not too early/late to fix it. In Hapkido one of the Three Pillars upon which the art is built is Conservation of Energy loosely described as "never work harder than your opponent". In your case you appear to be working harder than your students. Its a laudable effort and many, many teachers from many disciplines make this mistake. The problem is, just as you have found out, there is simply not enough of YOU to go around. The result is that you will, as a teacher, burn very brightly, but only for half as long. Put at least half of the effort back on the student to learn in and of themselves rather than trying to attend to every detail yourself. You will lose a bit of the adulation, but you will also last longer and in the long run find your teaching experience more enjoyable. Best Wishes, Bruce W Sims www.midwesthapkido.com ------------------------------ From: HumbleHarry123@aol.com Date: Fri, 4 May 2001 22:24:11 EDT Subject: the_dojang: Re: The_Dojang-Digest V8 #277 Anyone have any information on dealing with a hernia injury while training? ------------------------------ From: Bernard G Redfield Date: Sat, 05 May 2001 00:34:26 -0400 Subject: the_dojang: Us older students Hi, Please , there are many arts besides TKD that do the Air kick reps, knuckle push ups and such, proper rotation of the pivot foot and rotation of the hip taught properly will eliminate the joint problems in the knee and hip, full contact on heavy bags will also cause problems if not done with proper techs, yes?? hey you hkd people that do kicks on a soft matt and have to pull the foot into proper position feel that tug in the knee if you don't get the proper pivot?? Respect Bernard From: "Rich" Date: Fri, 4 May 2001 20:22:22 +0100 Subject: the_dojang: Older Students Hi Just a thought - you are probably better off taking up a MA such as Tae Kwon Do when you are actually older, because if you start it at a young age, by the time you ARE 50 all your joints will be knackered up, either due to all the knuckle push-ups, and/or the hyper-extension of your knee and elbow joints through constant kicking/punching air in patterns etc :-) Just a thought... Rich. ------------------------------ From: "A. Paredes" Date: Sat, 5 May 2001 22:57:22 -0700 Subject: the_dojang: 4th Dan Testing research Hello All: I am conducting a research "thesis" for my 4th Dan Black Belt. I have taken the task to ask all the Dojang Members to participate. My research consist of the type of testing other 4th Dan's are required to perform. I have heard of written test, 2 day testing, running and endurance testing, how you have helped change someone's life, what have you done for your community Etc. Now I would like to put it on paper. I'd like to know the following. 1-What style do you practice (i.e.-TKD, HKD, etc) 2- What was the length of time it took you to get to test for 4th Dan 3- Is you master/instructor of Korean or American born background 4- What is the size of your school 5- How many times a week do you train THE TEST 6- Oral 7- Forms/hyungs 8- Self-defense a-knifes b-clubs c-guns d-multiple attackers e-empty hands 9- Knowledge of any type of M.A. weapons (i.e.-cane, staff, bo, jo, sword, nunchakus) 10- Knowledge of the history of Korea? 11- Your own fighting techniques a-set techniques (how many) 12- Your own one-steps 13- Sparring a-one on one b-multiple opponents 14- board breaking 15- other breaking 16- Additional requirements not mentioned here 17- Did you have to spend time teaching at the Dojang 18- Ground fighting (I've heard that some Moo Duk Kwan aficionados need to be blue belts in BJJ to promote to black) I would like to thank you all in advance and tell you that this is part of my 4th Dan testing.
