This entails teaching muk yum and its application to tkd to kids with cancer. Rarely do they make it to blackbelt, but this program lifts my heart and soul. Recently we awarded an honarary blackbelt posthumously to a little boy aged 12 that had gotten to brown belt before he died. This I feel is in the finest spirit of martial arts...truly the indominable spirit!

The fighter is a street fighting game where you battle it out in an underground fight club. An interesting twist to the game is that you can gamble and even bet on your own fights. You will be able to create fighters as well with one of five fighting styles including Tae Kwon Do, Jeet Kune Do, boxing, kickboxing and wrestling. The Con will feature both a story mode and ad hoc multplayer for up to two people. One other interesting option in the game is that you'll be able to import a picture into your Memory Stick from your computer to add to your character. ...more on The Con as Gaming Horizon heads to E3 in May. --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Sun, 01 May 2005 10:45:17 -0400 From: Jesse Segovia To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: Re: [The_Dojang] N.

You may have seen one face of NK, the face its leaders allowed you to see, but foreigners who have been free to travel the nation have little positive to say, and in fact tell tales of horror and depravity almost impossible to believe. It's hard to find any government in the history of man that has been more cruel to its own people. I'm glad you had a successful trip there but please, no cheer leading for Kim JongIl.

Korea Fires Missile Into Sea of Japan By SOO-JEONG LEE Associated Press Writer 43 minutes ago North Korea test fired a short-range missile that plunged into the Sea of Japan Sunday, the White House chief of staff said, adding he wasn't "surprised by this," noting Pyonyang had conducted similar tests in the past. The U.S. military told the Japanese government of the suspected missile launch, which was believed to have traveled some 65 miles off the east coast of North Korea, according to media reports in South Korea and Japan. Card told CNN's Late Edition he had heard about the test Sunday morning. "I don't know an awful lot about it. It appears that there was a test of a short-range missile by the North Koreans and it landed in the Sea of Japan. We're not surprised by this. The North Koreans have tested their missiles before. They've had some failures." Japanese officials expressed concern last September that North Korea was preparing for a test launch, but later backed off those assertions. The missile launch came on the eve of a critical conference at the United Nations to reassess the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, with U.S. negotiators urging action against suspected atomic weapons programs in North Korea and Iran. North Korean test launches are often considered moves to strengthen its hands in dealings with critics. It test-fired short-range land-to-ship missiles into the ocean on at least three occasions in 2003 during an international standoff over its nuclear weapons program. Japanese and military officials in Tokyo said they could not comment on the reports. An official at South Korea's National Intelligence Service, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there were signs of a launch from North Korea, but Seoul was still trying to confirm it. Word of the test came just days after a top U.S. military intelligence official told a U.S. Senate committee that North Korea has the ability to arm a missile with a nuclear weapon, a potentially significant advance for the communist state. Vice Adm. Lowell Jacoby, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, in testimony on Thursday, did not specify whether he was talking about a short-range missile or a long-range one that could reach the United States. Two defense officials later said that U.S. intelligence analysts believe North Korea is several years away from being able to mount a nuclear warhead on a missile that could reach the United States from the Korean Peninsula. North Korea's missile development program has spurred Japan to join the United States in putting together a joint missile-defense system. North Korea startled Tokyo in 1998 by launching a long-range ballistic missile over the Japanese archipelago and into the Pacific Ocean. The Japanese Cabinet in February approved legislation that would allow the defense chief to order the military to shoot down incoming missiles. Six-nation talks aimed at persuading North Korea to give up its nuclear ambitions have been stalled since last June. Washington's top envoy on the issue, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, said on Thursday in South Korea that the North's refusal to return to the talks is a problem but they are still the best way to resolve the matter. --__--__-- Message: 5 Date: Sun, 1 May 2005 19:10:09 -0400 (EDT) From: "A.

In particular [to me anyway] the links given for Haidong Gumdo no longer exist. The Geom Dojang link was terminated a little over a month ago. The fortune city link for my site has been gone for almost 4 years.
