When I had the trouble is when I highlighted a section to respond to. With AOL, when you highlight a portion and then reply, it copies that portion into your note. In earlier versions, it put brackets around it. The one I sent that didn't work did not put brackets around it, but rather I had a blue line beside the copied part. I'm not sure how to change this, is someone knows, please let us know. In any case, if you want to respond to something, don't let AOL do it for you automatically if you don't know how to turn this off. Copy and past and then put your own brackets. This will keep the problems for Ray down. Hope this helps. I'm still trying to learn this stuff too, as well as website stuff to design a new web site. It sucks, I don't want to be a computer expert, I want to spend my time studying HKD, SD, and Leadership and Achievement, the things I speak and write about. But I need to use technology to help.

Thank you, Frank ------------------------------ From: "Marcel Mason" Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2001 05:30:41 -0000 Subject: the_dojang: Masters/Teachers & Such (Fairly long) I am 42 years old (something that becomes a bit more relevent further on) and began studying (WTF) TKD last July, initially as a way to get back into some reasonable sort of shape but then because I found it just plain worthwhile - not to mention a lot of fun. Ultimately my 4 children just had to see what I was "going on about" and 3 of them also couldn't seem to stop once they got started :-) The following brings up something that has been running around in my head for a while now: >> However, I was wondering if there is any way that I can >> verify his credentials ... We are all at this point Yellow belts and have been told by our instructor that we should be ready to test for Green stripes within the next month or so. For me the actual colour of my belt is not an important factor. I get out to the Dojang 3 times a week to, stretch, train, learn/practice my forms, kicks, and blocks and feel much better because of that - my personal goals are being met and at my age (see, I told you the age thing would become more relevent) real competition is not high on my list of "things that need doing". My 15 year old daughter however is a different kettle of fish, she is good, and has the potential (based on what two different Black Belts have told me) to be very good. We started sessions under a woman who started the club here who certainly wore a black belt and knew what she was talking about and training us in. She did the initial testing 'on behalf of her Master' for my Yellow stripe - I never asked about the process of how if I went elsewhere and found a WTF club this might be known about. After a couple of months she had to leave the area and the club was taken over by another Black Belt who also seems to know what he's talking about and training us in and who did testing for all of our Yellow belts. At this point no one in the club, there are about 30 of us, has ever asked about our instructors qualifications to instruct (just never felt the need as he is a good instructor who is concerned with how we all develop in TKD) or signed any documents affiliating with the WTF on any level. Our family is now considering moving to another Province and will continue training, so I am wondering what is going to happen when we show up at a WTF Dojang in Ottawa (I sure hope there is one!!) with our sparring gear and Yellow belts w/ Green stripes on them in a couple of months. Will it be "do the necessary forms, prove knowledge of kicks, blocks, punches, stances, etc .. and maybe go a round or two" or is someone going to ask about paper work, instructor credentials, club, etc. ? I would certainly hate to see my daughter, or any of the kids for that matter, held back because of something I didn't ask or verify early on in the game. Suggestions, advice, experiences ......

Dayton is a veritable Mecca for the Martial Arts. Name a style and there's a good chance that there's a school or garage dojo somewhere within commuting distance of Dayton. We've got Kobudo, Pencak Silat, Tomiki Aikido, Caporeia, Savatte, European Saber, there's even rumor of a Tae Kyon guy somewhere in the area.

The woman, identified by sources as Aarti Rishi, a 20-year-old first-degree black belt in karate, is still recovering from the summertime accident that took place at Central Dojo on Broadway near 14th Street. Rishi was in charge of the school in the absence of owner Sensei Chris Cherchio, and the stunt involved her trying to catch the arrow shot at her in midair; it deflected off her arm into her eye. Sources said she and the student attempted to remove the arrow themselves. H. Mickey McCabe said emergency medical technicians responded to the school Aug. 25. "Initially, we had not been advised it had been an arrow. We had been advised it was a kick," said McCabe, who added that once EMTs discovered what had truly happened, there was little they could do for the woman because the eye was out of its socket. "What I'm reading here is that the arrow went in the eye and then the arrow was pulled out. The arrow was not in the eye when we got there." ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2001 13:41:00 PST Subject: the_dojang: . ------------------------------ End of The_Dojang-Digest V8 #651 ******************************** It's a great day for Taekwondo!
