She did not seem embarrassed, but rather eager to learn, and listened intently as I explained to her how to do the techniques. The parent of my black belt who brought her looked at me and asked, "what do you think, orange belt?". I looked back at him and said, "well it's not her fault, she is a product of the school and program she was in. She looks exactly like the many black belts I saw from this group when they did their grand opening a few years ago". So, what do I do with her if she decides to join? We have discussed in the past on this list about honoring rank, but I believe most of that was under belts. This young lady wears a black belt. I can fix her, however..................gee wiz, Does the ATA not do the above mentioned kicks? ATA guys, give me some feed back here. Others out there, give me some suggestions. If she was from a karate style, I could explain to her that this was taekwondo, the styles are quite different, she should be proud of her black belt, but she needs to start at __________(fill in the blank) at my school since it is a different style. Maybe that's what I'll tell her anyway, look you are an ATA black belt, this is not the ATA, but then I feel like I'm character assassinating the ATA, don't want to do that. So your feed back is very welcome. gary pieratt ------------------------------ From: Ken McDonough Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2001 06:31:29 -0700 (PDT) Subject: the_dojang: Pentagon information Appreciate this poster's query, re: Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2001 7:54:21 PDT Subject: Re: eskrima: Bro in the pentagon > Kenny McD, where are you? > > Has anyone heard from Ken, our Kali dude on site at the Pentagon? Ken has sent the list several updates since the attack. Ray Terry raymail@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com> Response: Thanks for the above inquiry. Sunday morning, 23 Sep 01. Working 12 hour shifts, including weekends. 12 hour shifts should end next week. One of the Pentagon parking lots has been cordoned off with fencing. The rescue teams place the striked site's debry in large trucks. The trucks then bring the debry to the cordoned off site where the FBI further analyze it. Armed guards at Pentagon entrances, all packages are inspected. All military installations are on high alert. Another lot has a caravan of detection dogs used in rescue mission. Several entrances to Pentagon closed off. Things will never be the same here or in the U.S., regarding security. Trying to stay loose. Thanks, Ken McD... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!

There are several. Horizontal is correct. Angling up is correct. Angling down is correct. etc. The then chairman of the Kukkiwon technical committee (the chairmanship changes, I think, yearly) told me a few years back that there were five types of roundhouse kick. Not sure how many there are now. What is a switch stance drill in your dojang? Ray Terry raymail@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com ------------------------------ From: "C.

For 6 and under, 30 minutes is good. The older kids can handle adult classes of 45-60 minutes or longer. ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2001 15:47:07 PDT Subject: the_dojang: . ------------------------------ End of The_Dojang-Digest V8 #542 ******************************** It's a great day for Taekwondo!
