The only exception I can think of is a "stretch kick" that has no practical purpose in the art other than to stretch.

Hi Charles: FWIW, I learned the knee forward method back in the late sixties from the late GM Pak; however, he also showed the other way as an alternative method at the same time. I continued to teach both methods, but I do strongly suggest the first to avoid telegraphing. When doing the outside roundhouse, we "point" the knee at the target and drive the hip through as you do.

Your thoughts are probably appropriate if one is asking about healing bruises or the odd cut. There are, however, some places that it does not pay to hurry things along. Injuries to joints is a big No-NO in my book and your feet, like your spine, is just one long network of joints. Do the stretching, watch your diet, cut any intake of methyl xanthines (IE. coffee, tea, colas) and abstaine from alcohol until you are back to business again. Let your body take the time it needs to heal. Cutting corners or hurrying back to full training just means you will up the chances of injury or re-injury and probably do MORE damage than what you have to work with right now. FWIW.

I began my training with Richard Chun who was then a 3rd dan and now a 9th dan in Tae Kwon Do. Why is it that i never see his name in print inasmuch as he studied directly with Hwang Kee?? He an S. Henry Cho are the father's of Korean Martial Arts in America or at least in New York.

I have found a water soluble powder mixture of 1000mg of Calcium with 500mg of Magnesium. Take at night mixed with 8oz of juice or water works wonders. Also avoid being bare foot or using martial arts shoes with no arch support for a few months.

My training has been quite limited of late due to the severe all consuming pain coming from the left foot and I couldn't "tough it out" any longer. Does anyone on the DD have any experience with this treatment? Doc said up to 7 weeks to heal for something so bad inflamed as one of the feet were and minimal time for the other. I guess what I'm asking for is something that might speed up the recovery time. I'm doing stretches for the tendon as advised, and do not know if there is anything else I could or should do beyond the ordinary to expedite the healing process. Your advice and input is always appreciated.

It was more of an option or alternitive method, not 'the' method - just another way. We worked on several ways to kick. I just can't remember where/how he said he learned it or where it came from. I remember working on it with my little brother. I asked him to try and block my kicks (he wasn't a martial artist but he knew the different kicks) and it was always just a guess for him to what I was throwing at him, as they all came up like a front kick and he couldn't tell - so it worked very well. My instructor at the time had such a mixed and varied background in Korean and Japanese arts that there's no telling where he got it from.

The only studio type I do not recommend is racquet ball courts, health clubs, etc. You need a Do-Jang that will promote the right training environment, with the least amount of distractions. It was my experience from my earlier days. It is hard to achieve either, unless you have control over the training area. I recommend a free standing building if that is available. It just allows you more options." MC Reply I agree but think about.... You should teach in a free/low rent place as long as you can until you develop your business and teaching skills (guessing from the orig. posters comments this will be their first dojang). Free/Low Rent options I like Your or a students church (some issues like a gym, but can often be free) A dance studio that closes by 7 or 8 PM will have mirrors and a nice floor and rarely open much after 7 or 8 is a great location for a teen/adult club. You wont have mommy bringing any 4-9 year olds to your 8-9:30 class :-) Teaching and learning the business side as a class instructor or program director or satelite school instructor for your sabom...heck you might even get paid :-) For picking a free standing location look for an area that is the centroid of 3 elemntary schools you would like to service. The combination of advertising and rent is how you should base your decision, not just rent. More visibility = more drop in students and less advertising expense. Lower visibility = little to no drop ins and huge advertising expense. Before you sign a lease you should have these skills: Can you convert an info call to an appointmnet in 2-3minutes 75% of the time? Can you convert intro lessons to enrollments 60-80% of the time? Can you duplicate yourself (train and manage others)? Do you have a plan that you know from experience will work that will have new students joining every month? Do you have 30-60 hours/week for non-day job karate work? If you got two no answers you might seriously consider the free/low rent options above. Just my ten cents my two cents is free (Eminem) MC --__--__-- _______________________________________________ The_Dojang mailing list The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang http://the-dojang.net Old digest issues @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com/pub/the_dojang Copyright 1994-2004: Ray Terry and http://MartialArtsResource.com Standard disclaimers apply.
