Email me personally whoever this person was. I recently purchased a video camera SONY TRV308, and have been tinkering around with it. Is there anyway I can hook it up to the computer and put footage online or make a cd/dvd?? There are lots of holes in the camera, surely one of them will do something cool. Buttons too, I gots lots of buttons. And finally, Does anyone know of a Stone Stamp/Seal company other than paperscissorsstone.com? They sell Japanese Seals, but I am looking for something in, oh I don't know, maybe...Korean. Any guesses? Just wondering. Thanks in advance.

I have never had to enforce it, and never seen it done by students. The warning is given to the students. "This is a non-contact (or light/medium etc) drill. If you lose control and hit your training partner who is helping you to learn, they may strike you back with double the force you used on them, and you will let them make that strike without defending against it." Like I said, I have never enforced it, but have noticed that special care is taken by students to use proper force and control of techniques.

Because this seems to be something that might help others, I thought it might be useful to state in the DD. "Nim" is an honorific part of the title that should be used by someone addressing the person who holds the title; however, it should NOT be used by the person who does the addressing. Example: If I were to write (or speak) to someone whom I respect, I would use the word Nim after the title. Not to do so, could be taken as an offense by a Korean. In closing the letter, I should use my title without the Nim. When used correctly in this manner, the recipient of the letter may just look at the way it was signed. Hence, they often mimic the way in which the writer signed off and omit the Nim part. Thinking this is the correct way to reply, they could lose face due to this incorrect usage. In short. If I were to write to Master Terry on an officuial document I should address the letter to: "Kwan Jang Nim Terry". I should sign off with something like this: "Sincerely, Rudy, kwan jang". Hope this helps some folks.

Fighting the upper ranks is supposed to be a learning experience. Sounds like you are mad at yourself because this little punk kid has spent so much time and sweat in his art that you as a beginner should be able to defeat him just because your older. As you progress in your art you will find that whoever you spar will not be able to pull off these show off and tricky maneuvers as you call them. Keep practicing and you will be the one doing all the things you are talking about now. Just try and remember when you get there, how you felt and see if you do the same things. Sorry if I offended any one. bill m --__--__-- Message: 5 Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2002 17:24:23 -0600 From: Richard Zaruba To: Subject: [The_Dojang] Re: Another Question Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net This is going to sound a little strange but I drill my students with sparring drills until they react without thought during the drill. Then we work through linked sparring drills until they react without thought. Then and only then are they allowed to free spar. This way they learn to stay calm and simply react and counter attack without thought. Being able to react without thought is what is usually seen as the calm demeanor seen in advanced black belts. Personally, I would be quite upset with the black belt as well if he was one of mine, for demonstrating a lack of control and the match would have ended very early. I use my black belts to help t4each sparring to under belts, not show off.
