Most of the time sparring is fun and playful, but not too playful. One of the Black belts at the club is adamant that taekwondo is usless and Karate is possibly the best martial art ever (Im just glad he does'nt run the club!) Anyway he is possibly the only opponent that i have real difficulty sparring with, because hes taller than me and much heavier. He weighs about 96Kg and im only about 72Kg thats alot of weight too his advantage. He attacks very slowly but has a water tight defence using his weight too force me back. Any advice as how too tackle this Heavier/Taller opponent? Thanks William Wayland 1st dan Hwan-Hazuki style taekwondo _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com --__--__-- Message: 2 From: "Lee Fisk" To: "Dojang Digest" Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2002 05:43:41 -0700 Subject: [The_Dojang] Re: Re: Link to Chicago Hapkido School Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Try http://www.hapkido.ws/southschool.html -Lee (Tucson) "Maafa" maafa1@ameritech.net wrote: I couldn't get into the link. --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "Jeffery Dean Sr" To: Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2002 08:18:05 -0500 Subject: [The_Dojang] RE: Elvis in MA Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Daniel, I believed he studied Kenpo under Ed Parker Tang Soo Dean Sr. --__--__-- Message: 4 From: "Maafa" To: Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2002 12:28:26 -0500 Subject: [The_Dojang] Belt Promotion by Attendance v.

He is the one who revived my interest in learning a martial art during law school, but ironically he had stopped training until just recently. I just kept telling him how much fun I was having learning and I think that helped. Anyway since he just started, he has the perspective of someone comig in new, and he says that he enjoys the school very much. He said he had to pay for 6 months, up front, non-refundable. I don't know if that was necessary, or if he just got a better deal for paying in that manner, but just to be aware of that. He also noted recently that belt promotions involve attendance, not belt testing. After a certain number of classes, you receive your belt promotion. He said he thought that resulted in some substandard black belts, but that it didn't impact what he was learning at least for now since I don't think those students are in a teaching capacity. Grandmaster Hyun's credentials seem very good. I was a bit jealous for a while, but I really like where I am at so that passed.

Is anyone else bothered by the ESPN2 schedule for the ISKA/US Open schedule? It used to be on friday nights at 11pm (Eastern time), but now they have it on at 4 in the morning! They had 3 hours worth the other night, but it was on early in the morning and I didn't even know about it .... ggggrrrrrr. I hate missing it. If you agree with me, and you wanna complain, here's the link: http://espn.go.com/sitetools/s/contact/espntv.html I feel there should be more Martial Arts on TV, but there isn't. So we should keep the ones that are on, like the US Open.

Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I saw this on Yahoo.com and thought I would pass it along...... ***** Oddly Enough - ReutersJapan Bans Judo Kids with Thin Eyebrows Sat Jul 13, 4:06 AM ET TOKYO (Reuters) - Six Japanese high school students were ejected from a judo tournament to teach them a lesson after they shaved their eyebrows to a fashionable but intimidating thin line. Kyodo news agency, quoting organizers Saturday, said the six had been disqualified from a judo tournament in Utsunomiya, north of Tokyo, on the grounds that the current Japanese teenage fad gave them an unfair advantage. "We have banned thin eyebrows because they are intimidating to opponents and cause displeasure," Tatsuo Kakizaki, an tournament organizer, was quoted as saying. "We disqualified them as a lesson, to teach them the importance of competing in accordance with the rules." ****** I guess silly walks won't be allowed next....^_^ Craig (Not serious) --__--__-- Message: 7 From: "Stanley Wojcoski" To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2002 23:33:20 -0400 Subject: [The_Dojang] another one bites the dust..... Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Well, I will be watching from the sidelines for a couple of months after rupturing a disk between C5-C6 (my neck, OK). X-rays, MRI, chiropractor, orthopedist, etc, etc. What it boils down to is this - no training for another 8 to 10 weeks. That's OK, I'm still working on moving my head around. Luckily, I don't have any tests coming up for a while. For those of you who feel your training is becoming perfunctory, think about NOT being able to train at all. Not fun. You will realize how much you need to train regularly to maintain your mental health as well as your physical self. I have lots of reading to catch up on, though. And, as the Terminator said, "I'll be back".

Ray Terry rterry@idiom.com --__--__-- Message: 9 From: Ray Terry To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net (The_Dojang) Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2002 08:32:56 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [The_Dojang] Talks Over War Remains Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net US, NK Hold Talks Over War Remains July 12, 2002 U.S. officials recently met with their North Korean counterparts to deliver more than $1 million (1.2 billion won), which will lead to the resumption of the annual U.S. mission to recover the remains of American servicemen from the Korean War (1950-53), according to informed sources. The delivery of money took place at the truce village of Panmunjeom on Wednesday, a Defense Ministry official said on condition of anonymity. On the same day, South and North Korea engaged in a war of words over the disputed maritime border at the West Sea, as then-defense minister Kim Dong-shin made a tour of the scene of the July 29 naval clash. Though the annual recovery mission is held on purely humanitarian grounds, analysts in Seoul believe that it shows the smattering of confidence left between North Korea and the United States, security talks between whom have been put on hold since the skirmish. "For the time being, the security talks will not be resumed. But their continued negotiations over the remains of U.S. servicemen reflect the modicum of trust remaining between the two sides," said Suh Dong-man, professor of Sangji University. The sources refused to reveal exactly when the U.S. will resume the recovery operations to repatriate remains from several areas in North Korea. U.S. recovery teams have been carrying out such operations annually since 1996. Given that the yearly missions usually take place between April and November to avoid bad weather, the recovery crew is likely to enter the communist country in a matter of months, according to officials familiar with the project. But the U.S.-led United Nations Command, which oversees the armistice that ended the fratricidal war on the peninsula, delayed an official response to the issue. "I am still waiting an answer from U.S. officials in charge of the program," said Kim Young-kyu, spokesman for the UNC. The U.S. paid North Korea $2.25 million for last yearnulls joint search for the remains of American servicemen killed during the Korean War. Early this year, however, U.S. and North Korean negotiators failed to reach agreement on the annual U.S. mission. During a four-day meeting in Bangkok, the North Korean delegation demanded $14 million (16.5 billion won) for the recovery operation, while the U.S. side offered to give $4.7 million (5.5 billion won) in return for North Koreanulls cooperation. U.S. recovery crews from the U.S. Army Central Identification Laboratory made 27 trips to North Korea between 1996 and 2001, during which they found more than 150 sets of remains believed to be those of American soldiers. Ten were positively identified and returned to their families for burial with full military honors. The recovery operations took place in an area about 100 km north of Pyeongyang, as well as at the Chosin Reservoir in the northeastern part of the country. According to statistics, around 34,000 U.S. servicemen were killed in the war. More than 8,100 of them are listed as missing in action. The U.S. fought alongside South Korea under the United Nations flag during the war to repel North Korean and Chinese communist forces. Currently, some 37,000 soldiers are stationed in South Korea under a mutual defense pact. --__--__-- Message: 10 From: Ray Terry Subject: Re: [The_Dojang] Sparring against heavier/taller opponents To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2002 09:29:45 -0700 (PDT) Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net > Any advice as how too tackle this Heavier/Taller opponent? When you are given lemons, make lemonade. If they are taller and have a longer reach, get inside that reach/advantage. If they are taller and heavier, hopefully that means they are also slower. Use that to your advantage. Figure out their strengths and weaknesses and then train and act accordingly. Now sometimes you just run into someone that is taller, stronger, faster, heavier, smarter, more experienced -and- better looking. When that happens, play dirty and spike their lemonade. :) Ray Terry rterry@idiom.com --__--__-- Message: 11 From: Ray Terry To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net (The_Dojang) Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2002 11:51:07 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [The_Dojang] Korean Position Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net KOREAN LITERATURE & LANGUAGE The Department of German, Russian and East Asian Languages at SUNY at Binghamton invites applications for a tenure-track position in Korean Literature and Language at the Assistant Professor level, beginning September 1, 2003.
