I quite frankly do not remember all of them now (5 or 7 as I recall), but the vocalization made varys with the type of attack one is executing.

Yes, Sinmoo HKD has many low kicks. Of the 25 basic kicks, I think ~9 are low targeted kicks. 3 are knee-ing "kicks". Many/some TKD dojangs will practice low target variations of kicks, e.g. low roundhouse, low back spinkick, side kick to the knees, etc. during self-defense aspects of training. Of course that will vary greatly from school to school. Sweeps may also be taught.

Hello Vincent: Thank you for your kind comments, and I too hope to continue to build on the friendships we began or continued from previous seminars. I believe it is a great way to share information PLUS get to know one another. Our seminar model (soon to be put into action) will continue to focus on having some sort of social event right alongside of that for this very purpose. As far as the mats go. We placed them there so folks who wanted them could just grab one. Some people, myself in particular, don't care to use mats (I am not sure what my students think of that though:). Just to make sure that we have everyone on our e-mailing list for seminars, I would like to have anyone who wishes to be informed of events to please e-mail me. I will then make sure that we give you a heads up anytime we have something going on. I would send Master West or Instructor Watkins your e-mail address as well, so you are sure not to miss any of the USKMAF seminars.

Gen Choi went to DPRK seeking $$$ for the ITF since in a way it was broke. South Korea didnt want anything to do with Gen Choi. As a matter of fact its not a North Korea art its an International art. Gen Choi didnt want any politcs involved in Taekwon-Do.

I want to thank Grand Master Rudy Timmerman and Master Thomas for this weekend of knowledge sharing. Also a big thank you to all the other GM and Master who came together to share there skills with us. I'm looking forward to the next time we are able to get together and build on this friendship.

Good source! Those kinds of chambers came from sport karate in the 1970s and 1980s, and Bill is an expert in that style. I hope people check him out these days, because he is giving away all the stuff he never used to show. He has fakes and set-ups for every body part and he shows them all these days! This New TKD style sounds painful the way Kim describes it: "the upper body twists and lower body pivots for round house and side kicks...where they typically do not in the New TKD sparring style" OW! Can you say hip and lower back damage? I think you can!

My first set was a set called Chan Ch'uan. It features prominently a butterfly kick, tornado kick, side kick and crescent kicks. But it's a Northern style. If you were to look at Southern you'd see much fewer kicks......" Are you able to provide any more information on this form or its associated Boxing style? Are we talking pre- or post- 1920-s? Can you pare down "Northern" to any particular lineage (Hong, Red Fist, Long Fist, etc.) I am quite sure that the Koreans didn't need the Japanese to teach them how to kick. And from all that I have been reading Shandong province has been home to a long line of contencious boxing populations. Personally I think it would be great to broaden our understanding of just how Korean kicking relates to Chinese kicking. I know in the MYTBTJ there is actually very little kicking in the KWON BUP chapter. That would suggest to me that most of what we know now was not considered worthy of martial consideration (too long a training time to become facile; not appropriate for a battlefield application). Either that, or maybe kicking was simply transmitted more as a civil art and sport activity than we have been encouraged to believe.

Although I am a TKD proponent (the non-Olympic Sparring type - but that's just me), I have found that Kyokushinkai as well as Sabaki (as I train with a few of those boys) is quite nasty and tough. Far tougher than the "traditional" TKD stuff. If you are ranked that high, you must be very well-versed in that. Why the switch? Just curious of course.

Kiap is not intended to be a cue, or warning, but a way of strengthening yourself physically and mentally. Although people have many theories on the application of kiap, it works best for me precisely at the moment of impact with a kick or punch (giving or receiving), at the point of no return on a throw, or precisely when you hit the mat after a hard throw. Cultivation of a good kiap is essential for giving a sharp focus to your techniques, as well as conditioning your body for breakfalls.

The court ruled in favor of Grandmaster Shin that Tang Soo Do was a common use term and could not be trademarked in and of itself. Incidentally, I believe that also began the movement by the Moo Duk Kwan to use the term Soo Bahk Do which GM Hwang was able to trademark to distinguish itself as different. Thus the changes in GM Hwang's 1995 book." Danny, I started to post that answer but mine would have been more paraphrased...Anyway I asked Shin Kwan Jang Nim about this one of the times I was assigned to pick him up at the airport, get him to the event, etc...He basically shared the above and just indicated it was a big mess. Think about it, leaving your org. and Kwan Jang, and then getting sued by him...He didn't really go into a lot of detail either as I was only a CHo Dan or E Dan at the time, but this is true, and since the courts ruled against Hwang Kwan Jang, I can see his reason for Soo Bahk Do.

You had to be careful for safety's sake, but once you got it down you could really let loose. The lesson was very simple...if you can't stop the person with the shield, you've got no business trying to throw that kick in a real fight.

Even though sparring is full of rules, there is that intangible benefit of working against a resisting opponent. Someone that is trying to thwart your movement and techniques while landing their own.

I'm sure some of the current threads are covering how much kicking TKD does, but the style typically will a lot. Depending on the style, you may find more hand techniques that what you might expect. I know I went to an open tournament and one of my competitors saw "taekwon-do" on my uniform patch and said to his coach that he'd just have to stay inside my kicking range (I'm 6'3"). Once I got up 3-0 quickly with backfists and lead jabs to the head, he quickly changed tactics. He still lost 5-1 though. :) Anyway, just check it out and see if the feel of the school is right. That's more important than the style. With your experience, I'm sure concepts and concepts and you'll pick it up quickly. > Thanks in Advance > Dionne Swart Best of luck in your search and future training! <> - Bert Edens Springdale, Arkansas __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
