The orgaiization that he is supporting has prominatly listed on their web site a convicted felon. " Hui Son Choe, 40, pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter for the death of 37-year-old Ki Gol Lee, which occurred after an argument between the two men turned violent. King County Prosecutor's spokesman Dan Donohoe said the state will recommend a judge sentence Lee to 9˝ years in prison. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 29. At the time of the April 2000 melee, Choe lived in Spanaway and ran a martial arts school in Federal Way. A seventh-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Choe also was well respected as a master and innovator of Hap Ki Do, a lesser-known martial art about which he's written a book. A Korean immigrant who helped other Koreans secure home and business loans, Lee showed up at Choe's dojo and confronted him in a parking lot there, prosecutors say. Witnesses told police the two began arguing, but a fight broke out after Choe rushed Lee with a drawn samurai sword. The fight ended after Lee sustained a 2˝-foot-long gash to his inner right thigh, severing his femoral artery. He died early the next morning at Harborview Medical Center. Detectives followed a trail of blood into Choe's school. Inside, they found a bloody samurai sword and blood-spattered clothing that matched witness' descriptions of the sword fighter. They later arrested Choe at his Spanaway home. " Perhasps besides sponsoring tournaments, they should clean up thier web site.

It was truely an awesome event with incredible training. A special thanks has to go out to Master Scott Yates, Master Chad Zwieg, Master Egil, Master James Allison and Master Sean Bradley for helping to make this training a success. They are great martial artists and friends. On a side note, it was also a special occasion because Master Harold Whalen made a special visit to let everyone know he's still around.

(I think that's the right term). con- not good for a real fight because of the holding back on the strike and/or lack of follow through power. step sparring, pro- teaches and or hones skills such as timing, spacing, footwork, body mechanics, correct technique, reflexes. con- alot of times they are practiced unrealistically [punches or kicks aimed by target launched without intent to hit target], uses old rigid stances, gives false sense of defending oneself. breaking, pro- teaches/encourages intense concentration and focus, teaches follow though power, boosts confidence. con- gives false sense of accomplishment[no real hand conditioning is taught, boards or other materials use spacers] classes don't teach individuals proper conditioning methods running risk of disfigurment, or broken bones, mostly on 'hard' breaks are done. self defense, pro- teaches one to defend one's self, teaches/encourages timing, footwork, spacing, techniques for defending oneself against one or multiple attackers. Con- not practice realistically [attacker should attack in whatever way they choose without telling the defender, and having the defender defend themselves against an unknown attack] *teaches defense against knife/gun with empty hand which could be very dangerous. sparring, pro- teaches timing, footwork, what will work and what wont. con- still rather unrealistic as protective equipment is wore, none of the techniques such as eye gouging, testicle ripping/striking etc are used. lol. only prepares one for certain elements for fighting.

I feel confident that I could hold my own in most street fight situations. However I might not. This is why point sparring when used properly with 1 step is good for me. In point sparring I will have to think, not rely on brute force, find or make an opening and then strike. In 1 step my attacking will throw a technique that I will not will not about until it is thrown. I would have to react to it using fingers, knees elbows, head take down etc. the techniques that I counter with I can break boards with.

Dahn Yoga is based on ancient eastern practice of energy movement. [ClickPress, Wed Sep 07 2005] Sedona, AZ (Sept. 8, 2005) – A Korean practice that dates back thousands of years is becoming a growing trend in the United States. Dahn Yoga (sometimes referred to as Dahn Hak or Dahnhak) began as an ancient Korean training program to educate the population on how to develop both the mind and the body. “Dahn” means energy, vitality, and origin of life, and "Hak" means study, philosophy, and theory. The practice had virtually vanished, until Ilichi Lee, the founder of Dahnhak, rediscovered it during his personal journey into self-realization and rigorous self-discipline, and later opened his first center in Korea in1985. Dahn Yoga was first introduced to the United States in 1991 and more than 130 centers are now open in this country, with another twenty to open later this fall. There are 200,000 Dahn practitioners worldwide. In August, new centers opened in Oak Park, Calif.; Atlanta, GA.; Houston, Tex,; Portland, OR; and Chicago, IL. Coming in September are facilities in Albuquerque, NM; College Park, MD; Utica, MI.; Forest Park, IL; and Smith Town, NY. Hyung Jin Cho is the head instructor in the new Atlanta facility. Atlanta now has eight Dahn Yoga centers. “The interest in the practice of Dahn Yoga has grown as people in the United States are learning the holistic value of the program. Our yoga program is different than other classes that people may have experienced. In addition to the fitness element of yoga, we teach the principles of how energy works in the body, which is a concept that is rather new in the western culture where things are based on the ability to touch and see. You can’t see energy, but it is what makes us move. Our bodies are born with a perfect healing system but as we age, stress reduces those capacities. We teach people how to improve that energy flow in the body which improves their health,” said Cho. Here in the U.S. the Dahn Yoga centers offer a variety of programs including yoga and tai chi, along with other programs. The Dahn Practice has three components: physical exercise, accessing Ki-energy through visualization and imagery, and meditation. During Dahn classes, practitioners learn to communicate with their bodies. By stimulating the Ki-energy circulation, the connection between the physical body and the conscious mind, the body’s natural healing power is activated. According to the book Dahnhak: The Way to Perfect Health, Ki-energy is the connecting thread that helps human beings understand that all beings in the cosmos exist as one. A notable aspect of Dahn Yoga is that in some communities, the classes are led by volunteers and are available free of charge, being staged in churches, hospitals, assisted living centers, libraries and college campuses. Dahn Yoga is a holistic program that promotes a healthy body, a healthy family, a healthy community and a healthy world.

The picture shows the ``History of Korea,’’ written by Homer B. Hulbert, an American missionary and scholar, in 1905. Yonhap According to Lee Hyun-bok, professor emeritus at Seoul Cyber University, the History of Korea, written by Homer B. Hulbert (1863-1949), a missionary and scholar, in 1905, shows the Japanese island used to be under Korean control. ``It is important to notice that the island of Tsushima, whether actually conquered by Silla or not, became a dependency of that kingdom,’’ the book says. ``On account of the sterility of the soil the people of that island were annually aided by the Silla government.’’ ``What we should do to counter Japan’s groundless claim over the Tokto islets is to find more historical facts, instead of just holding emotional and nationalistic protests,’’ the former linguistics professor at Seoul National University said. He said the book should be considered as important historical evidence in disproving Japan’s claim to Korea’s easternmost islets in the East Sea. Lee said he was reminded by a recent e-mail sent by Professor Shimizu Kiyoshi at Kumamoto University in Japan, with whom he had maintained a long-term friendship. ``I’d like to inform Koreans, especially scholars, of the facts as I want the recent controversies over the Tokto islets to be resolved soon. Both Koreans and Japanese shared many things in common in the past,’’ the Japanese professor said in the e-mail. Hulbert came to Korea in 1886, one of three young Americans hired by King Kojong to teach English in the Royal English School. During his stay in Korea until 1907, Hulbert gained knowledge about Korean culture and history. The king even entrusted him with special state messages pleading for foreign assistance against Japan in 1905 to then U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and in 1907 to the Hague Conference held in the Netherlands. He again visited Korea in 1949 at the invitation of then South Korean President Syngman Rhee, but died in Korea at the age of 86, worn out from the long journey. His simple memorial at Yanghwajin, a cemetery for foreigners in Hapchong-dong, northwestern Seoul, reads, ``I would rather be buried in Korea than in Westminster Abbey.’’ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
