If you like to run jog. If not jump rope. What you want is your heart rate to accerate and your wind as I call it will increase. As far as losing body fat. Take out fat causing foods, and eating habits, then exercise and drink plenty of water to help flush your body and stuff. Key things to watch out for: soda, sugar, saturated fats. **Also eat at regular intervals, and try not to eat late. My personal trainer suggested eating 5 times a day breakfast being the most important. He said by eating regularly and at the same times if you can prevents your body from storing food, or I guess fat cells. So He said eat a large breakfast, small snack, medium to small lunch small snack and a small dinner. The snack being a piece of fruit or something. I'm actually going to try this thing that a friend of mine was telling me about which is eating raw veggies and fruits. I don't know if anyone else wants to try that, but I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Jye __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!

Hi Landa, I'm not a health professional nor do I have much experience in Martial Arts. (41 yr old w/2 yrs in TKD) But I would have to say that the above expectation is simply not realistic. My experience is that free sparring is VERY demanding if you are going it with 100% effort. I don't think I've ever seen anybody - regardless of age, rank or fitness level - who wasn't sucking some serious air after just 1 or 2 minutes of intense sparring. Think of the world class sprinter who is exhausted after "just" 10 seconds activity... It's always going to come down to the effort put forth. I can only guess, but I would think the BEST way to train yourself to spar longer and at a higher intensity level is to simply spar more often.

Do you have any leads as to who might practice it in the US or where to write in Korea to get more Info?"

The private museum has brought together a collection of 84 calligraphic works and paintings created by the master for an exhibition that will run until Nov. 3. Except for one self-portrait leased from the National Museum of Korea, everything on view is owned by Kansong itself, which critics often compare to a treasure house of Korean arts with its significance on a par with that of the national museum. Kim Jeong-hui (1786-1856) is one of the best known names in the history of Korean calligraphy, with his strong and creative writing style known as the "chusa" style following his penname. Art historians argue that he perfected a sense of pictorial harmony within asymmetry in his compositions, and the energetic animation wrought by his powerful strokes led to the creation of the dynamic chusa style. During the Joseon period, literati painting was most highly regarded when the three components of poetry, calligraphy and painting are blended in refined harmony. For instance, an orchid is not simply an orchid but the outer expression of the painter's will to attain Confucian virtues. Kim's chusa style, however, transformed the visual language system, with its own meanings and order, into a completely distinct method of composition. His style of calligraphy is not one of writing but rather one of figurative painting, reaching the epitome of beauty in painterly abstraction and influencing many painters to come. Under the influence of scholastic traditions of Qing China in the mid-18th century, Joseon scholars adopted philological and bibliographical studies and new research techniques based on epigraphic materials (inscriptions on stone monuments) of ancient times. This new trend gave birth to diverse experimentation with seal characters and the simplified square style calligraphy found on ancient steles. Kim Jeong-hui was one of the leading proponents in this movement. "Credited for perfectly expressing the abstract and pictorial aspect of Chinese characters, the chusa style brought a new revolution to Korean calligraphy," said Choe Wan-soo, chief artistic director of the museum. Noted as the first private museum in Korea from the 1930s, the Kansong Art Museum possesses a myriad of priceless national treasure-level artifacts, old documents and paintings in its collection. The museum is located in Seongbuk-dong, northern Seoul. Admission is free. For more information, call 02-762-0442.

I've found some very interesting information, but I'm having some difficulty with one thing. I was especially interested in one art that uses Asian style fans as a weapon, however, I'm not sure of it's name. I'm also unsure of whether this is a separate martial art in itself such as Haidong Gumdo, or just part of another art. Additionally, I've heard that this art is very feminine, is this true? I've seen some pictures of it and saw a demonstration of it once and it looks beautiful! If you're unsure of what I'm talking about, please refer to this picture: http://store6.yimg.com/I/martialartsmart_1705_10577507 Any information about this art would be greatly appreciated! -Joe Giarratano http://www.estradatkd.com --__--__-- Message: 7 From: "Ates, Michelle (ATESML)" To: "'the_dojang@martialartsresource.net'" Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2002 13:13:01 -0400 Subject: [The_Dojang] RE: Fun Teaching Techniques Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net My adult and children's classes both enjoy callisthenic type relay races in which the class is broken down into several teams and the team to complete the circuit first wins. The circuit is like a course of front roll, kip up, 100 pushups, 100 crunches, kip up, jump rope for 30 seconds, 50 kicks per leg then perform the same in reverse order tag the next person in line and they do the same thing until everyone has gone through.

Master JR West taught an excellent 6 hr. seminar, well worth the investment. He brought 4 of his senior dan members to help and assist the students practicing the techniques. We started at 10:00am and went till 1:00pm, took a 2 hour lunch, and picked up again at 3:00pm and finished around 6:00pm. At the different breaks I switched partners so I could work with various levels of expertise and body sizes/shapes. Master West and his students not only had a great level of expertise, but also had a great since of humor that made the day very enjoyable and fun. If you get the chance to attend a seminar with Master West you’ll be glad you did. I’m looking forward to attending the big seminar (18th International HapKiDo & Korean Martial Arts Seminar) that will be in Jackson MS on March 7-9, 2003! Check out his web site for information on his upcoming seminars in your area: http://www.hapkido.com/seminars.htm Yours in the arts, Dennis “Mac” McHenry, 6th Dan Tang Soo Do ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the EV1 webmail system at mail.ev1.net --__--__-- Message: 9 Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2002 10:54:06 -0700 (PDT) From: Ken McDonough To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] On Fat Fools Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net You wrote: Response: That was a tongue in cheek response, as is my usual sophmoric sense of humor.
