<<<A warrior can't pull on his uniform, and ignore the consequences of being
a warrior.>>>

 

Just remember that all of those folks involved in the Iraqi prison scandal
were wearing good old U.S. government issue.  The same clothes that many of
our warriors wear.  So, tell me again how thread and fabric figures into
this equation?

 

A bad person will do wrong irregardless of the uniform they wear.  At the
same time, a warrior will do what's right regardless of what they wear, and
regardless of who's watching.  A warrior is the product of what he or she
believes and carries in their heart.  It's not something that "switches on
and off" as easily as changing duds, and the warrior doesn't need symbols to
be reminded of the duty that they've accepted.

 

Warrior = no uniform required.

Greetings, sir...
         Could it also be used as an intentional effort to keep the hand 
back, should the other hand be holding a bladed weapon?

Well we have to keep in mind that they were in an open gym so all snaps, and slaps (against self and other's) are amplified.

As a fellow "Golden Geezer" (49) I can appreciate what you are saying.  
I competed as a "youth" (starting at age 38) and got to the point where 
I had the same realization as yourself; I had no desire to get in the 
ring in a tournament setting any more. I think you are NOT being 
selfish, perhaps just realistic. I still love to help the kids (those 
under 40) get ready to fight. And I'm all for slipping on the Hogu and 
"lettin' 'er rip"... But only in the classroom setting, tournaments 
just have no appeal to me any longer except to coach and judge.  I know 
several guys well past my age who do the tourney circuit all the time, 
so it's not the age thing, I feel like it's a matter of personal 
preference. As for helping your school, just attend the tourneys and do 
all you can to help, that is every bit as important as spewing 
testosterone laden sweat all over a mat.
Plus, I really sucked at tournament sparring.
Good luck in whatever you decide, go with your heart, it won't let you 
down.

thanks for the kind words.  i cant see the ortho til wed 13 oct.  til then i'm in this soft, half cast thing from my ankle to just above my knee.  90 percent of my pain comes from the knee cap area where they reamed out the bone and started feeding in the pin.  hurts like heck.  the cast i get should be a walker from the ankle to below the knee.  the ortho said i only need to be in that for a week, then i'm on my way.  
 
i don't want to be a sideshow at the dojang.  i'm debating the timing of going back.  i'll use the example of your female student as a guide.

Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net

thanks bert for the kind words.  besides missing my tkd training time, i'm also missing my gym time!!!  i weightlift 4 days a week and never miss.  hopefully i'll get a walking cast put on on 13 oct.  i'll be back in the gym that day to test out what i can and cant do.  
 
i wonder how successful i can be as a one-legged fighter?  maybe a good thing here is that i'll probably instinctavely throw alot more kicks with my unijured, and weaker, left leg.  maybe i'll get as strong in the left as i am in the right!!!

Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net

<<1st of all... I am sorry to hear you got hurt and hope you heal quickly.>>

I just received a book by a practitioner of both martial arts and Chinese
Medicine. So far, I'm impressed with it. It called A Tooth From the Tiger's
Mouth: How to Treat Your Injuries with Powerful Healing Secrets of The Great
Chinese Warriors." It's by Tom Bisco and I got it from Amazon.

Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net

Perhaps I should have been more clear in what I was looking for.  A hapkido 
school would be great, but it doesn't have to be a hapkido school.  I'd rather 
visit a school with a quality instructor, regardless of style.  I trained for 
two weeks in an Okinowan style when I did a rotation out of town for a month.  
I was a first degree at the time and it was a great learning experience.  So 
any school with a quality instructor would be something I would consider.  
Thanks for your help.

<<I haven't watched the clip, but I think I know what you are referring to.
You see it some in the Filipino arts and the Indonesian arts.  It has several
purposes...  it can distract the opponent, it can be used for timing (rhythm
training), you can use it to 'rebound' your hand back toward the target for
a follow-up strike (strike, follow-thru, rebound off your chest or thigh,
strike again), etc.>>

I've also seen Kuntao guys do it. I addition to what Ray said, I think it was
also explained that it...how do I say this.."gets you in a crazy state." Kinda
like the three Stooges, I guess!
