But he never had an empire like GM Suh, right? You are absolutely correct Dakin. GM Pak DID change like the wind, and that is probably why I have grown to be more consistent. mind you. I change applications myself as I "grow into them"; however, I always KEEP the original handy to fall back on. Over the years, I have found that people do not like change, and so I have had a hard time convincing folks that techniques should be amended to fit the individual's need. I believe strongly in this, but I still KEEP the old curriculum in tact. It works for me lol. And sadly, you are right about the empire thing as well. GM Pak was an extraordinary technician who never earned his proper dues in terms of money or fame. I have trained with some of the best, and he was right at the top IMHO. Just a very poor businessman, and I seem to have followed in his footsteps with loving to teach the art more than making money for myself :( Sincerely, Rudy --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "J. R.

Master Jason Thomas outdid himself in the planning, advertising and execution portions, and Wayne Watkins did his usual outstanding job setting everything up from our end and did his best to make sure that we presented a wide range of techniques to all those who were kind enough to spend the day with us. As usual, we saw many old friends and made many new ones. In short, it was a blast!....J. R.

But not sure why something like Kuk Sul Won wouldn't be nearer on the map to Hapkido and HwaRangDo. ??? Ah, you noticed that too huh? I thought it was hilarious! But it is was just coincidental, the map net is alphabetically organized. :) I found it while looking at topographical and other maps on cyberspace, as means of graphically representing site maps. I really didn't like the Map Net method, but it was the only one that mentioned the martial arts. For other styles of site mappers, look at: http://www.cybergeography.org/atlas/atlas.html And for the one I thought was coolest, look at: http://www.cybergeography.org/atlas/minitasking_large.gif It was created with a gnutella program called minitasking.

That's why Hapkido instructors Sgt. Marvin Cameron and Sgt. Larry Mullen of the Craig Police Department are trained to capitalize on a single swing from a suspect. Their years of training in offensive martial-arts maneuvers can de-escalate just about any hand-to-hand sit-u-ation. "This is not what you need to know when you're mad at your neighbor," Mullen said. "It's for the one time you need to know it to save your life." Mullen and Cameron share the responsibility of teaching Hapkido classes at Trappers Health Club in Craig. The two secured first-degree black-belt certifications recently from the Western Slope Combat Hapkido group. The highest level is a fifth-degree black belt, which generally is revered as the highest form of certification. Combat Hapkido is a series of practical self-defense moves that redirect the assailants' aggression back toward them using minimum force and effort. It is a modern version of Hapkido that was developed by Grandmaster Pellegrini. It differs from other styles of the art form in technical and philosophical ways, according to the group's Web site. For Cameron, knowing self-defense tactics has the potential to save his life when he's on the beat. Although officers carry weapons to defend themselves, regular duties can bring an officer in close contact with a wide array of individuals. "It's better to know it and not need it, than not know it and need it," he said of Hapkido. To date, Cameron said he has not had to use his martial arts training in his 16 years on the Craig force. Neither has Mullen in his four years as a Craig officer, but that doesn't change the duo's drive to continue with the training. Each said they would continue trying to increase their black belt status. In addition to Hapkido training, Cameron has earned his red belt in Taekwondo. Mullen has earned a brown belt in two styles of karate. Mullen and Cameron said they've trained some police officers on the force in a couple Hapkido moves. Those involve some tactics to deflect punches or swiftly take a gun out of someone's hand. "From one punch, I can take a man's hand and put it in a handcuff," Mullen said, while demonstrating the move on Cameron. "This is intended to be used as self defense. We're not teaching people how to go out and fight. We teach respect of other peoples' rights." --__--__-- Message: 12 Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 19:03:03 -0700 (PDT) From: Master Arce To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Dan # Vs.
