You should be able to arrange to train at any of these to your hearts content. I can also recommend Master Geof Booth's dojang at Morebank. I use his facilities to instruct Haidong Gumdo. You are welocme to participate whislt you are in Sydney. I hold classes on Tuesday & Thursday 8:00pm to approx 9:30pm. When in Sydney you can contact me on Mobile (Cell phone)0402 893 180 I would be honoured to meet another matial artist from abroad to discuss trends and ideas.

Going alone with Gm West's mention that 108 = 9+99, yep, that is what I've always heard. Also, keeping in mind the Korean reverence of the number 3, consider that 99 = 3x33. So now you have (3x3) + (33x3) = 108. Now we should all reflect back on Master Mac's original joke to glean a bit of additional humor wrt this thread. :) Ray Terry rterry@idiom.com --__--__-- Message: 3 From: Ray Terry To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net (The_Dojang) Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2002 10:45:06 -0800 (PST) Subject: [The_Dojang] korean comfort women Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Forwarding... Dear Everyone, I am writing from Kyeonggi-do Kwangju-si, from the (House of Sharing) that houses ten former Korean comfort women and curates a historical museum, where I am volunteering and doing dissertation research. As you probably know, Korean former comfort women have been making paintings addressed to their past and current experiences for about ten years. There have been exhibitions of these paintings in New York, Philadelphia, LA and elsewhere, where women (one at a time) have accompanied their paintings and given testimony in tandem with the exhibition. The women are accompanied by an English-Korean bilingual staff member. Currently the staff here are looking to take this project elsewhere in the United States and (particularly) to Europe, where it has never once travelled. Would any of you be interested in some way sponsoring or hosting the exhibition? The staff is seeking financial support for the project as well, to cover travel expenses for the two travellers and accomodations. Please write to me if you are interested and to ask any questions you might have. best wishes, Josh Pilzer jdpilzer@uchicago.edu from outside Korea: 82-11-9108-1419 from inside Korea: 011-9108-1419 --__--__-- Message: 4 From: Ray Terry To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net (The_Dojang) Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2002 10:54:28 -0800 (PST) Subject: [The_Dojang] John Chung ?

Ray Terry rterry@idiom.com --__--__-- Message: 8 From: Ray Terry To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net (The_Dojang) Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2002 17:52:06 -0800 (PST) Subject: [The_Dojang] from KATU, forwarding Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net KoreAmerica Taekwon-Do Union (KATU) www.itf-katu.com Letter Concerning ITF Matters To : Members of ITF >From : Grand Master Hwang, Kwang Sung Acting General Secretary of ITF Date : November 25, 2002 Dear Members of ITF, It is my intention to inform of the progress of ITF. 1) Last week on November 20-24, 2002, our President Mr. Chang Ung was invited to the GAISF meeting in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. This initiates the preparation for ITF participation of the Olympic Games of 2004. He also had a meeting with the President of WTF, Mr. Kim Un Yong, agreeing to further the TKD meetings. This will be done between end of February and beginning of March of next year. 2) On November 16, 2002, the Board of Directors held a meeting at the headquarters of the ITF in Vienna, Austria in which they resolved to expel Mr. Tom MacCallum from the ITF for immoral behaviour and violation of the Austrian law. His actions are as follows: a) Mr. Tom MacCallum transferred USD 60,000.00 from ITF account to his personal account on September 25, 2002 without the consent of the ITF. He later retransferred USD 30,515.00 to the ITF account on November 8, 2002 under the orders of the Austrian attorney. He spent over USD 13,736.00 under the ITF account after General Choi Hong Hi passed away through October 6, 2002 for his personal advantages. b) He spent over USD 4,063.00 in his stay in Mongolia at the Genghis Gann Luxury Hotel. c) He has borrowed from ITF, USD 35,000.00 to invest in his personal business. He has not paid back ITF. d) He has taken the seal of ITF to his house and has unlawfully established himself as the General Secretary. e) He has given USD 16,000.00 to Mr. Russell MacLellan without ITF consent. f) He is being processed by the Austrian Law and police for these matters. 3) We would like to draw attention to the following issues of conduct that may be deemed to be ethically incorrect. These conducts are attributable to Mr. Russell MacLellan who was acting president as of July 6, 2002 to September 22, 2002. Mr. Russell MacLellans case will be formally notified to the ethics committee of his party in Canada and the Bar Association of Nova Scotia. a) On July 6, 2002, in Toronto, Canada when Mr. MacLellan was presiding the Consultative Council meeting, Mr. Tom McCallum suggested to the Consultative Council members that the International Taekwon-Do Federation could save tax money by classifying black belt certificate fees to a different tax category as membership fees, thus evading responsibilities to the Austrian government. After hearing Mr. McCallums suggestion, Mr. MacLellan corroborated that it was a good idea, thus jeopardizing the ITFs reputation and diminishing the good will associated with the Federation which is highly regarded worldwide. b) On that same meeting, Grand Master Hwang suggested that the salary of the acting president should be discussed. His suggestion was disregarded. On August 22, 2002, Mr. McCallum took Italys black belt certificate fees of USD $8,000.00 in cash and did not put it into the ITF accounting. Mr. Russell MacLellan, then acting president, took that money of USD $8,000.00 dollars in cash from Master McCallum for his personal use. As of November 16, 2002, Mr. Russell MacLellan has taken from ITF, USD 8,000.00 more for his personal use without ITF consent, thus totalling USD $16,000.00. c) On July 20, 2002, General Choi Hong His testimony was published in the website which Mr. MacLellan deleted part of the testimony in this way omitting two lines in his testimony, thus changing General Choi Hong His will. Mr. Russell MacLellan also has deleted the word President in the ITF black belt certificates and has put the word Founder, without consent of Mrs. Choi Hong Hi, thus unlawfully manipulating Mrs. Choi Hong His copyright. d) On November 15, 2002, in Vienna Austria, Mr. Russell MacLellan manifested his discontent to Mr. MacCallums behaviour and that he no longer wanted to fight for the presidency of ITF. He wanted to negotiate Mr. MacCallums salary after being expelled from ITF. He did not attend the Board of Directors meeting the next day. On November 19, 2002, Mr. Russell MacLellan sent a letter in General Choi Hong His website signing himself as president, showing in this way that his decisions do not adhere to the morality of the ITF. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ 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!
