But diet is a very important corner stone. For instance, we know we don't put just any gas into our car, or give our animals just any type of food, so why is it that when it comes to us, we give ourselves just any ole thing because it tastes good? I once heard that we tend to take better care of our cars then ourselves. If you want to always feel good even after a hard day at work, do this: ALWAYS stay POSITIVE, get plenty of rest to balance with work and exercise, and eat/drink correctly. Drink plenty of water, eat plenty of fiber. Last but never least, continue to increase your knowledge about health, diet, and nutrition.

To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Hi Big Ken! I take it you like italian food. Hey nothing wrong with that, I like it too. Never ate pork or shellfish, but lasangna and pizza, and spaghetti!!!! Whoa I'd eat you out of house and home!!! Now as far as me becoming a vegetarian, I became one because of how my body reacts to it. Now will I go out and tell others not to eat meat? no if someone asks me about it, will I tell them honestly? yes. If you look around, you'll notice how we are 'set-up' from the start. All the foods/drinks that aren't good for you are dirt cheap, yet all the good foods are crazy expensive! Fast foods, processed foods, and junk foods, have very very little amounts of nutrition in them so the body asorbs what it can and compensates for what it needs. This will go on and after awhile you'll begin to experience problems that are all rooted from poor eating habits. high blood pressure, diabetes, high chorlestrol, etc are caused by years of poor eating habits. Some say that things like heart diesease is genetic, I highly disagree, but I think that if someone's great grandmother had bad eating habits, and taught you grandmother how to cook/what to eat, then she developes heart disease, and teaches your mother how to cook/eat then what we are seeing is definitely a history of heart disease but the origin is from lack of knowledge. The fact that more people are eating better, and taking care of themselves makes them more of a woman or man. We are in the information age and the knowledge is available for all who seek it. Doctors will tell you the same, have a diet low in saturated fats and high in fiber to help prevent colon cancer. I used to work with a man from Russia and he asked me why so many americans were fat? he stated in Europe you see some fat people but not like in america. Also in recent studies american children are more and more becoming over weight. There will always be people like my father who used to laugh at me because I didn't eat pork (because of religious beliefs) and one day he woke up with and found out he had diabetes, and his doctor told him no more pork. He at this point only has to take pills to regulate the insulin, but he continues to have poor eating habits, even though when he eats pork his vision becomes blurred. There will always be people like my mother who are always crying about how they want to lose weight but don't want to revise her eating habits. So I say to everyone eat what you want but don't cry when the body breaks down with disease, or from not receiving the proper amount of nutrients.

The Gauntlet: All the Wave masters are used to setup a series of obstacles where students need to dodge, jump, kick and or punch, to help keep them moving I have my assistants encourage students by pretending to strike at them with pool noodles (Cut down to 3 Feet we call them snords) I also use other items as obstacles, I had a balance beam made as well. - After 20 minutes of running through the "Gauntlet" everyone regardless of fitness level is sweating bullets. Snord Hockey: again several pool noodles cut in half everyone grabs a snord and the class is divided in two teams throw them a light rubber ball and have at it, a goal is scored when the ball hits the other teams wall (head level and down) who wins is not important as having fun. Crab Walk Soccer: class is divided into two teams everyone assumes crab walk position players hit the ball using feet only a goal is scored same as above. can use the same ball as snord hockey. ( We purchased a HUGE (3 feet in dia) air filled soccer ball from Costco for $60.00 this adds a whole new dimension to the game crab walk position and kicking with one foot is a must for safety and absolutely no head butts) Usually at the end of a crab walk soccer - Using the same HUGE Soccer ball I play a game I call steam roller I have students lay down side by side in a straight line starting at one end students try to pass the ball to the next person using knees and hands when the ball gets loose they get "steam rolled" ( I roll the ball over them all x2 its pretty soft so no one gets hurt) and get to start again. Snord Sparring :This one I started recently with the Red Belt and up and Black Belt Club Members (Mainly because they have all needed sparring gear esp. Chest Protector) after an arnis lesson or sparring I have students remove one glove and grab a snord using their arnis skills they spar with snords "Snord Sparring" front of face is not a target (not everyone has a cage to attach to head gear) I have asked for feedback and it has been positive - I enjoy the 2-3 on 1 matches. Cross The Ocean: Divide the class up into teams of 5 students each team gets 3 focus mitts and a kicking shield the object of game is to get your entire team across the dojang floor using only the equipment to step on, the entire team must get everyone across at the same time if a team mate falls into the ocean the entire team must return to the beach and start again the key is to not help the team figure out how to do it once they get the hang of it they must work as a team to accomplish the goal. These are a few of the favorites. Travis --__--__-- Message: 5 From: Morgan James To: 'Dojang Digest' Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2002 13:33:34 -0500 Subject: [The_Dojang] RE: blind leading the blind... Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Man, did ya'll catch the article about the ITF from one of the sites at the bottom of that post? http://www.martialartistquarterly.com/MAQ-2002-Fall/article.php?Article=4 Talk about slamming someone and an organization! This is truely uncalled for. True practitioners of the art just simply do not do this. If you have a disagreement with an organization, fine. But to take the time to write something like this out and post it on the Internet? It's sad, really sad.

You can't be that old ;o) Actually Laurie, Ray used to be good friends with a guy named Methussala:) BTW, Ray. Thanks so much for the article on Master Dalgleish. I received it yesterday. I guess I was very fortunate to have had him stay at my home for his last week on this earth. We had a great time training. A funny anecdote on the part on the form "Way of the Wolverine". Bob and I put most of that form together while we were sampling some "Canadian Snake bit medicine" at his Dojang in Sudbury (after a seminar he put on). It was a blast. You'll actually be able to notice some Korean influence in the original form:) Sincerely, Rudy --__--__-- Message: 7 From: Ray Terry To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net (The_Dojang) Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2002 16:02:28 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [The_Dojang] TKD Times Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Just received the November issue of TKD Times. On page 9 is a mention of Gm Hwang Kee's passing, along with other grandmasters that have passed recently; Nam Suk Lee, Haeng Ung Lee, Jung Tae Park, and Hong Hi Choi. It mentions that Gm Hwang was 22 when he had his first martial arts lesson. Then on page 12 there is a longer story on Gm Hwang; Hwang Kee, Tang Soo Do - Moo Duk kwan Founder Dies in Korea. However in this piece it mentions that Gm Hwang was a master of Soo Bahk Do by the age of 15. A master...!!! Doesn't anyone proof these things? It just seems to me that Hwang Kee's life and accomplishments were great enough without being clouded with claims that he (or anyone) could be a martial arts master by the age of 15. IMHO.
