Further, the Chung Do Kwan and Moo Duk Kwan founders are to be chastised for using Korean names like Yunbi, Pal sek, Chulgi, and Pyung Ahn for these beautiful traditional Karate KATA. I would like to acknowledge Sigong Lee for refraining from modifying any traditional forms. He agreed that it was bad to make them up. So he threw them all out. If you want to make up a form, I would only ask is your purpose; A. to create more mindless mess? B. to practice applications of martial science motions in a sequence? C. to wear cool uniforms and win big trophies? D. to become proficient with basic motor motions or motions with a weapon? If your purpose is A or C then IMHO you are adding nothing to the martial arts. Otherwise my only comment is... "Do no harm to self or others" Yours in Jung Do, Charles Richards Moja Kwan TSD __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I was teamed up against a white belt who never had been told about control; I'm curious as to what he thought light sparring meant. At any rate about the third kick he countered with a very hard knuckle punch to the bone on the out side of the leg just above the ankle. The results were I was unable to continue sparring for about a month from the serious bone bruise. He thought he was doing the right thing which in a combat situation may well have been true. The classes there routinely had 20ish student attendance. I never saw him again at the school. Funny he was just there long enough to make my life miserable. I think I was a green belt at the time. (Wh/Yl/Gr...) I hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm tired today after running the past two mornings for 40 plus minutes each morning, swimming yesterday at lunch for about 25 minutes and working out in the Dojang last night for 1.75 hrs. Curious what sort of regiment some of the other older (49 yrs) MAs have.

It's all part of a training regime designed to toughen them up, mentally and physically, for the World Outdoor Archery Championships in Beijing. But the nation's top four male archers - all Olympic medalists - said the Aug. 7-10 training was too intense and pulled out after one day. The Korea Archery Association banned them from the championship that begins Sept. 15, and from running for the national team for up to five years. ``It's a bit late to regret it, but we really did not expect to be replaced,'' said No. 4 male archer Kim Bo-ram. The sudden gap in the ranks of South Korea's archery team highlights the grueling methods it has used to reach the sport's top level. South Korea has won 11 gold, six silver and four bronze Olympic medals in archery since first competing in Los Angeles in 1984. Since 1988, South Korean archers have trained by handling snakes, meditating at a Buddhist temple and walking through a haunted house full of actors in ghoulish outfits. They have also physical endurance tests at military camps. At this year's training at a navy base in the southern port of Jinhae, both men and women carted a 176-pound boat up a mountain, and swam in the sea until their body temperatures plummeted. Four female archers completed the exercise. ``This training has contributed to South Korean archers' performance by helping them control themselves and work under pressure,'' said Kim Il-chi, vice chairman of the private archery association. He said other Asian nations have noted the success of South Korea's archers and are studying the training program; China has sent archers to South Korea to run through the same regimen. Raoul Theeuws, the Belgian vice president of archery's world committee, FITA, said South Korea's tough training teaches discipline. ``But the system works effectively on Asian archers because it suits their social context. It could never work in Western countries,'' Theeuws said. Other South Korean athletes undergo severe training. Experts in tae kwon do, a martial art that originated in Korea, sit in cold weather with little clothing and pour cold water on their bodies. When pro golfer Se Ri Pak was a teen-ager, her father taught her courage by forcing her to sleep in a cemetery. He also made her run up 15 flights of stairs and backpedal all the way down. Kim, the vice chairman, said this year's program was similar to previous training and that the male archers may have been too confident. Kim, the archer, described the haunted house exercise as ``a piece of cake,'' but disagreed they were overconfident. ``This year, we were all a bit overwhelmed by the intensity of the training and we really couldn't afford even a small injury just a month before the championships,'' said Kim, 28, a team silver medalist at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. The other three male archers, Jang Yong-ho, Kim Chung-tae and Chang Jae-hun, declined to comment. South Korea's top female archer, who has less experience than the men, acknowledged that the training was harsh. ``There were some side effects, but I feel good and I think it has helped me prepare for the coming championships,'' said Park Sung-hyun, 18. Last year, South Korean archers trained for the Sydney Olympics by shooting arrows in front of thousands of spectators at a baseball park in Seoul. As instructed, the crowd cheered when the archers shot well and booed when they were off the mark. ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2001 16:31:58 PDT Subject: the_dojang: try #2 on AAU tourny info Sorry, wrong info sent out previously by Master Dewart...

The event this year will be held at the University of San Francisco's Memorial Gym at 2335 Golden Gate Ave., S.F., CA 94117 on Sunday, October 21st. U.S.F. is convenient and, most importantly, on Sundays should have plenty of free parking. I would like to take this opportunity to invite all of you to join us again this year for what should be an outstanding event. As always we will provide free AAU membership for the 2001/2002 season for everyone who pre-registers by October 1st. For those of you who are school owners this is the time to either renew your AAU school membership or, if you have not done so before, do it now for the first time. Remember the AAU provides the best dojang insurance available anywhere with $5 million of liability coverage for only $50 a year no matter how many locations you have. If you need a school package simply call 1-800-228-4872 and request a Taekwondo Club membership package. Believe me you will be saving a lot over whatever insurance you currently have for your dojang. Please let everyone know about this year's FRIENDSHIP TOURNAMENT VII so that they can make plans to attend. We will look forward to seeing all of you on October 21ST. Peace.
