I will soon be opening the first Kong Shin Bup school in Houston and I believe it will also be the first in Texas....." Welcome to the Net and thank you for reporting a most incredible coincidence. We also have a Net member by the name of Rudy Timmerman. However, I have it on good report from an agile young Texan formerly from the Lone Star State that the Mr. Timmerman of OUR acquaintance is far too elderly and impaired to be actively opening schools. My understanding is that the member I know to be of our Net currently hob-nobs with a transplanted Mississippian who is a master of the deadly art of Killing-them-with-kindness-Do. The current urban legend is that these two personalities come out of their caves twice a year and should they see each other one may expect a minimum of two days of discomfort. Thats the rumor, anyhow. :-) Best Wishes, Bruce --__--__-- Message: 5 From: "Troy Trudeau" To: Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 08:03:03 -0600 Subject: [The_Dojang] Weapons Techniques Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I was once at a tournament in the mid 70's , I was judging Mens Black Belt weapons, and one competitor was performing a sword hyung, when half way through the form he lost control of the sword and it went flying past the judges head to my right side, nearly hitting him, the competitor was disqualified and when the competition had finished he asked why he was disqualified? hmmm Master Troy Trudeau Paris Martial Arts --__--__-- Message: 6 From: "Dunn, Danny J RASA" To: "'the_dojang@martialartsresource.net'" Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 08:18:47 -0600 Subject: [The_Dojang] RE: Open Tournament Memories Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Master West, Thanks for the laugh and the trip down memory lane. I needed that this morning. Reminds me of one guy the black belt weapons division that knocked himself cold, I mean fell like a cut tree with his own nunchaka in a solo form. Then in another weapons division, there was the ninja guy in a full black uniform including mask. When they called his name, everyone was looking around, they were about to go on to the next competitor when he came sneaking around the end of the bleachers and out across the floor in a John Belushi type(Animal House) stealth walk, did a double nunchaka form, then all of a sudden at the end threw the nunchakas away a grabbed a very realistic looking Government Model .45 from his uniform and fired 3 caps at the judges. All I can say is man those guys could run, but I don't think they were impressed with his demo. By the way, I would buy a copy of that book so maybe there is a market beyond your schools.

Bi Syndrome is further categorized into cold Bi, hot Bi, cold-damp Bi, and wind-damp Bi. The type of Bi determines the acupuncture and herbal medicine used. However, in general, Bi Syndrome is treated with the Chinese Herbal formula, Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang (Angelica Pubescens and Ramulus Dedoction). This formula can be purchased in most Chinese food stores as a "patent formula" in any China town. For those of you who are so inclined the acupuncture strategies are as follows: SI-3, BL-62, KD-3, BL-23, BL-17, BL-18, BL-11; GB-41, TH-5, LV-3, GB-34, and GB-20. Dietary recommendation includes avoiding "night shades". They include mushrooms, peppers, egg plant, potatoes, and tomatoes. These contain an acid that irritates the joints. Further, Arthritis is due to the inability of the liver to perform its detox function because of a sulphur deficiency. Consequently, since this function is critical, the liver leaches sulphur from the ends of the large bones of the body where it's plentiful. So, supporting the liver's detox function should be done. The herb, "milk thistle" is great in promoting liver function. Of course the administration of MSM and Glucosamine Sulphate should be considered. I hope this helps. Ian A.

The government said on Wednesday (March 20) that it has submitted an application to the Codex Alimentarius Commission, an international formulator of food standards under the wing of the United Nations. The application contains the government's draft on the categorizing of ginseng as a food, defined as an essential nutrient. "There have been trade barriers for the export of processed or raw ginseng, as many countries have ruled that the root product is only for medical use," said an official at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. According to the ministry, Japan regulates raw ginseng as a food and processed ginseng as a medicine, while it is vice versa in China. "There have been quite a few discussions as to whether granting it the status of food would benefit the local ginseng industry, and we have concluded that it will do," he said. The submission of the application is the second round in the process to standardize ginseng as a food, out of required eight rounds. "If there is no major dispute, the process would go smoothly. However, if other ginseng producers such as China, the U.S. or Canada raise their voice, it could take considerable time," the official said. The government received international approval to label kimchi as a food last July, five years after it passed the first round of the process in June 1996. --__--__-- Message: 12 From: Ray Terry To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 13:55:01 PST Subject: [The_Dojang] Tapgol park Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Tapgol Park reopens with new look Tapgol Park, the birthplace of Korea's March 1 Independence Movement in 1919, reopened on March 1 after a year of renovations designed to better reflect the historical importance of the site. The revamped Tapgol Park features a newly created large square where the March 1 independence commemoration monument and the statue of independence fighter Son Byeong-hui have been relocated. Son was one of the prime movers behind the March 1 Independence Movement. Around the Palgakjeong area where Korea's Declaration of Independence was first read aloud, a large round plaza has been created with 10 stone engravings arranged in a circle to explain the spot's historical importance. Nearly 1,250 trees have also been planted in the park's vicinity, and a walkway has been constructed for those who want to take a stroll around the circular plaza. In the meantime, visitors to Tapgol Park will now be expected to leave the park after approximately one hour of viewing. According to a city official, the park will be prevented from becoming a collective resting area for elderly citizens or a site of frequent crimes, but will be maintained as a reverent space where the spirit of the independence movement can be felt. While most residents of Seoul are looking forward to viewing the refurbished Tapgol Park, some visitors preferred the park's old look. "I liked the park the way it was, an accessible place for people of all ages to hang out and enjoy themselves," said Lee, a 21-year-old university student. "Now it seems like the city wants to make a museum out of it." These most recent renovations to Tapgol Park are only the latest chapter in the park's long history. As long ago as the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392), the spot was home to a temple called Heungboksa. By the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), a temple by the name of Wongaksa had replaced the older building. In 1897, J.M. Brown, an Englishman in King Gojong's court, proposed the creation of a Western-style park in the area for the benefit of common people. It was to be the first modern recreational park built in Seoul. On March 1, 1919, Tapgol Park became witness to a series of extraordinary events. At 2 p.m., leaders of the independence movement quietly gathered at the park and read aloud Korea's Declaration of Independence written by Choi Nam-seon. As the declaration was recited, the crowd that had congregated in the area waved Korean flags and shouted, "Long live Korean independence!" Soon the throng swarmed out of Tapgol Park and spilled into the streets of Seoul. The number of protesters swelled rapidly and spread to other parts of the city. It was a day when the houses were empty and the streets were full. As the shouts of "Long live Korean independence!" pierced the air, the shocked Japanese colonial government deployed both the police and the army to suppress the multitude. Japanese forces closed off the main streets and embarked on a bloody crackdown. Neverthe-less, over the following days, the movement spread throughout the entire nation, sealing Tapgol Park's reputation as the birthplace of Korea's independence movement. Tapgol Park, is located in Jongro 3-ga, Seoul. The park is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. By Kim Jin --__--__-- _______________________________________________ The_Dojang mailing list The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang It's a great day for Taekwondo!
