How to keep your grip without getting angry with the higher ranks? When I spar with a black belt they seem to want to show off and use tricky maneuvers with me although our Grandmaster told us to spar individuals on their level. The other night I found myself losing control with a 13 year old overly active black belt with every hard punch that he gave me I gave him the same twice as hard. This was not good since the Master (Grandmaster's son) was watching and implied that since I am older in years I should always maintain control. I was told that I was not calm in my defenses and defenses and that is why the young boy was pushing my buttons. This may seem very simple to others but for me it is kind of hard. Since I am climbing the ranks I do not want to be known as a martial artist who gets upset easily rather I would like to be able to stay calm and focus at all times. I am going to try start meditating more, practicing not only for speed but for coordination, balance, and control. If anyone has any additional suggestions it would be appreciated. Just for the record I am not someone whining or complaining but I am looking to train properly and with limited mistakes as possible.

As of late October, an estimated 6,900 foreigners are studying in local universities. So far, only those who entered South Korea on "E-12" visas were allowed to work as full-time language teachers, but the ministry decided to ease restrictions to allow student visa holders to be employed as teachers on a part-time basis. Those aspiring to work as foreign language instructors must have bachelor's degree and can teach their mother tongues only. Currently, foreign spouses of Korean nationals or others with "F-2" residence visas as well as dependents with "F-3" visas are allowed to work as part-time language teachers if they meet the qualifications, officials said. The ministry also eased several requirements for granting work permits to foreign students. Under current regulations, they must attend a local college for at least one year and receive a recommendation from the head of their college or university before being allowed to work part-time. But from next March, they will be eligible to apply after receiving six months of education and recommendations from their college advisors. The work permit will be valid for a year and can be renewed. Those students will be allowed to be employed in two workplaces, officials said. In addition, the application fee will be slashed from the current 60,000 won to 30,000 won. Of the 6,900 foreign students, about 3,500, or a majority, are Chinese, according to the ministry. Students from Japan came next with 1,000, followed by 650 from the U.S., 260 from Vietnam and 130 from Russia. About 47 students of them, mainly employed in translation-related fields or research, acquired work permits from the ministry. "We hope the easing of restrictions will significantly increase the number of students working legally here," said Kang Hyong-bong, head of the residence control division at the ministry. Kang said that a considerable number of foreigners were deported or fined this year after being found to be teaching foreign languages illegally. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ The_Dojang mailing list The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang http://the-dojang.net It's a great day for Taekwondo!
