John Chung's videos are still for sale, but are they the same ones that have been available for the last 10 or 15 or ?? years???

Anyone know of a Hapkido dojang, that is reputable, in the area? Thanks in advance.

Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Well, I haven't read the article in question (this Chris Garland thing), and I'm not up to speed on Hapkido politics and/or history. From what I can gather, this guy has laid claim to GM Ji's martial legacy, and more than a few on this list are implying that "it ain't so". Well, has GM Ji himself actually named a successor to his system either in the MA media, or perhaps personally to someone on this list? If not, has anybody got an opinion as to who the most qualified person is? Just curious. --__--__-- Message: 5 From: Ray Terry To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net (The_Dojang) Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2002 17:27:57 -0800 (PST) Subject: [The_Dojang] Important new works in modern Korean history (fwd) Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Forwarded message: I wish to bring attention to two new works in modern Korean history that I don't think have been mentioned yet. The first is by Andre Schmid, associate professor of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto. It's called , published by Columbia University Press (2002, 369 pp.). It is a very good book on the construction of Korean nationalism by journalist- intellectuals during the period following the Sino-Japanese War up through the early years of the Japanese colonial regime in Korea. It is remarkable how much of their project still inhabits the heart and soul of Korean nationalism today, especially in South Korea. Schmid's book really is an excellent introduction to the subject and should be welcomed by all who want to understand where today's Korean nationalism started from. It also is a remarkable evocation of the world of the TaeHan Cheguk, from 1895 until its end in 1910. No other book covering that period touches very much on the materials or the perspective that Andre Schmid deals with here. Appearing more recently is a comprehensive history of the origins of the DPRK state and its society by Charles Armstrong, , published by Cornell University Press, 265 pp. (It's listed on the Cornellpress website as a Fall 2002 release, but the publication data page in the book itself says, "First published 2003...") This is a superb book on the prehistory as well as the early history of the DPRK. It accords due respect to such prominent predecessors as Suh Dae-Sook and Scalapino & Lee, but is really new in its formulations and approach. Armstrong doesn't spend too much time on the Soviets, nor on all the ins and outs of the politics at the top; rather it concentrates on society and culture, and the changes at the bottom. At the same time it does not neglect issues that relate powerfully to the dilemmas and problems--and the challenges--of the DPRK today. The core of the book is based on close research in original sources found in the archive of documents and materials captured by U.S forces in P'yongyang in late 1950, now available to scholars in the U.S. National Archives. Both of these books are essential additions to any reading list for modern Korean history courses.

Personally, I would offer another, perhaps heretical, question. Why should any single person be the/a successor? I realize we seem to naturally think that way, but.?.?.
