Step by step in small segments until you know the form. I've have had to do this with a small number of students and starting with a clean slate seems to work the best for both me and the student.

MD Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Hello there Joe, My name is Allen and I am an assistant instructor at the Martial Arts USA branch in Gaithersburg, MD which is about 20 minutes from Frederick. Grandmaster Choi is a very well qualified man and definetley knows his Hapkido, I have had sore wrists to prove it. Grandmaster Choi teaches under the International Hapkido Federation and under the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. Grandmaster is very strict in his training and is defientely not a belt factory, he wants to see quality techniques compared to quanity, but at the same time is very understanding of his students and works with them. So I hope this helpful for you and I hope to see you a part of the MArtial Arts USA family. --__--__-- Message: 4 Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2002 08:41:19 -0700 From: Brooke Thomas To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Daily Intake of Water Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Fellow water drinkers- To add just a little to what Mr.Sims posted on water intake, a person of average height/build needs 8 glasses of water on the COLDEST day of the year. Oh BTW, thirst is a poor indicator of the body's actual need for water. The actual tabulation that you should use is 'half your body weight in ounces a day.' So if you weight 220 lbs, you need to drink 110 ounces a day. That may sound like a lot if you're not close to that number now but your body gets used to it quickly. Yes, you will "shed" a lot of that water throughout the day as you start getting your consumption to where it needs to be but after a little while, your body will retain a greater volume of that water. Liquids such as juices & sodas, etc. do NOT count as they require your body to 'filter' them. Remember, your body is one big filter. In order to clean this filter you need to keep it lubricated so it can do it's job. As with cleaning any dried-out filter, the getting-started process generally involves the lubricant flowing off the non-pliant filter until the slowly-softening filter becomes adjusted to the volume. Then the filter works like it was designed. Many people confuse their body's signals for a need for more water and even interept them as hunger pains. Many people experience drowsiness in mid-afternoons and run for coffee but that afternoon slow-down is many times a form of slight dehydration (a condition which coffee adds to greatly). The next time you feel slow in the afternoon, throw down 16 ozs of room-tempature water and notice you alertness level afterwards (and I DON"T mean by your sprint to the restroom!). Water also aids your body in moving out waste (again the filter concept). If you make a habit (23 days to build a true habit) of drinking at least 1/3 of your half-your-body-weight-in-ounces formula FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, you will become "regular (a clean colon is a happy colon!)," the rest of the water will be easy to drink during the day, and your skin will look a heck of a lot younger (your skin is the largest organ of your body and itself is a huge filter). So as you read the digest, run over and get yourself a good drinking glass...one that holds 20 ozs...and start sipping while you read at your computer. See how easy that was?

Linda, Is there someone that you trust to teach you the forms? When I have to learn a new form I ask people I know that do a good job in forms to work with me. Stacey Wallace Red Belt TKD -----Original Message----- From: the_dojang-admin@martialartsresource.net [mailto:the_dojang-admin@martialartsresource.net]On Behalf Of Tom Kennelly Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 7:06 PM To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: Re: [The_Dojang] Taught the Wrong Form Can the list help me with this situation? I have been practicing a form that is a requirement for my rank (7thgup yellow belt Tae Kwon Do), It seems that if 2 instructors, one a brown belt, the other a black belt taught me the form wrong. My Grandmaster saw me practicing this at the Dojo and told me the form was incorrect. Another black belt, a 4th degree, was sent by the Grandmaster to teach me the form. I was having so much trouble with it that I became frustrated and a little irritated while the blackbelt kept telling me I am not doing it correctly. The Grandmaster told the whole class that the black and brown belts are not living up to their teaching potential and they need to learn how to properly execute the forms as well as teach the students. I am concerned that in the future, other black belts will teach me the wrong thing, especially since Grandmaster will retire in 2007. What is the best way for me to learn the forms properly? Should I just go to one person who seems to be correct in teaching and executing the forms?

I have went to a master and found out that the forms ARE NOT CHANGING just that some of the students do not really understand how to teach and that you have to show a student the CORRECT way of demonstrating a technique. So I don't have to LIGHTEN UP, I have to continue my quest by asking questions from the Grandmaster, masters, and students that really want to help other students. To those who feel I was just being emotional and to told me to lighten up and accept changes, good luck to you also.
