Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net We're finally taking the plunge and starting a kids program on July 15, 2004. Any suggestions, tips or pointers to helpful resources would be most appreciated. Life's tough and I've got a helmet.

Hello Jason: Thanks or the cudos about the NKMAA seminar, and I am glad to hear you enjoyed it. Since I am flying to Oregon, I am sure that I won't be able to bring my cutting sword; so, unless Kevin SBN can provide such weapons, I won't be able to do a sword seminar. I also hear that a group of Canadians plan to drive to Oregon from BC, and I strongly advise them NOT to bring weapons when they cross the border. It could mean a long wait at the border:) Sincerely, Rudy --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "Chuck Luntz" To: "Dojang" Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 13:38:54 -0500 Subject: [The_Dojang] school in Singapore Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net One of my students is relocating to Singapore in August with her parents.

WTF is represented in Singapore by teh Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF). The best source of info I know of for STF is http://www.taekwondo.org.sg/. Most local community centres have STF training, and there is a large STF Dojang at http://www.tkd-singapore.com/ Please ignore all the politics on the .org.sg site - there are alleged financial irregularities with STF that are being investigated by the police. This coupled with the fact the TKD is no longer recognised as a sport by the Singapore Sports Council has caused some flaming online... Email me if you need any other info Regards neil --- Chuck Luntz wrote: > One of my students is relocating to Singapore in > August with her parents. > She would like to continue her training while there > in a WTF school.
