Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I recently obtained a Kukkiwon certificate for one of my students though the USTA. It took 3 1/2 weeks from "soup to nuts". These folks really have their act together! In New York I am willing to bet we have more scam artists, phonys and liars when it comes to kukkiwons, than any other place in the world!!!!!

Every day after school he would go to the Dojang to train, not returning home until almost midnight. He did this 5 days a week. He trained in Tang Soo Do under Won Kuk lee at the Chung Do Kwan. His fellow students included Sun Duc Son, and Uhm Woon Kyu. After about two and one half years Nam Tae Hi reached the level of first degree Black Belt. Two of his junior students included the late Grandmaster Han Cha Kyo, and Grand Master Jhoon Rhee. In 1954 there was a military demonstration before the President of South Korea, Syng Man Rhee. This demonstration included Artillery, other weaponry and martial arts. Nam Tae Hi, now a second degree Black Belt, broke 13 roofing tiles using a downward punch. President Rhee was so impressed by this demonstration that he asked to see more after the planned program was over. Nam Tae Hi and Han Cha Kyo did not have any thing else arranged to do so they assembled materials and did a variety of different breaks. President Rhee even checked Nam Tae Hi’s hands to see if he was injured from performing the breaks. After the demonstration President Rhee ordered all military personnel to start training in this martial art. General Choi drafted instructors from a number of different Kwans to teach the soldiers. Nam Tae Hi was the person who peformed the patterns as General Choi created them. The General would suggest a move or two and after Nam Tae Hi performed them, the general would either accept the moves or offer changes. Nam Tae Hi himself contributed the patterns Hwa-Rang, Choong-Moo and Ul-Ji. He was often referred to as the General's right hand man. Without Nam Tae Hi's incredible performance at the demonstration for President Rhee, Taekwon-Do may not have had the opportunity to spread around the world as we have seen it do. --__--__-- Message: 5 Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 07:11:02 -0800 (PST) From: Jye nigma Subject: Re: [The_Dojang] martial arts is as martial arts does To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I watched the UFC last night on SPIKE....WHoa...A guy from Canada absolutely destroyed a grappler with a jumping spinning back kick! It sucker landed perfectly on the grapplers right side on the ribs...after that it was sooooooo obvious that the grappler was seriously wounded...but guess what followed? a flying knee to the chest, and then a few punches to the face, then the fight was over. Now the brother from Canada must have been a thai boxer or something because he almost pulled off a jumping roundhouse kick to the grapplers head...lol. But you could see ever time he punch the grappler, those punches were hurtin the grappler! Then the grand finale....two guys one 6'8 and the other 6'3 got into it. Now the shorter of the 2 was a grappler I think, I'm no sure what the taller guy was. anyhow, 3 times the grappler took hold of this guy and 3 times the guy got out of it...and then it came....POW! the grappler got punched in the face and went down...and while he was already out for the count....the guy...the the beast of a man at a whoping 6'8 runs and jumps down on the guy who's already layed out and hits him with a punch to the face....BUT the thing is, he had his total 238+lbs behind that initial punch....OUCH! But man you could see as he hit the guy whos head was on the floor, it would bounced off the floor and back on to it...man that was terrible! Even though it's a good show for entertainment I still think it takes the art away from the martial arts. What's next Gladiators, where you see guys fighting animals?

Yer I know, it's a woman thing but hey I gotta live with her. Much appreciate any response at least just to stop her nagging me. Pil Seung Master Ken Nessworthy ====================== hi ken, century just recently started selling pink gear. its under the century student gear at _www.centuryma.com_ (http://www.centuryma.com) take care, mel :) Chajonshim Martial Arts Academy _www.cjmaa.com_ (http://www.cjmaa.com/) 1.573.673.2769 Chajonshim Martial Arts Supply _www.cjmas.com_ (http://www.cjmas.com/) 1.877.847.4072 --__--__-- Message: 8 Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2005 06:31:10 -0800 (PST) From: Charles Richards To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Sixkiller Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I read Apparently Sixkiller (great name!) is affilicated with Song Ki Pak's United Tang Soo Do Federation. Pak's info is available @ http://www.pakskarate.com/html/history.htm. MC Reply, I have been introduced to the Pak's karate group through former AAU Women's team member Master Sharon Williams, and her husband and USSSA Florida director Phil Williams. They and the other UTF instructors I've met are top shelf. FWIW UTF has their own hyung system so don't be surprised if this E Dan doesn't know any of the Koreanized Shotkan Hyung/Kata... As far as I know I haven't met Mr. Sixkiller, but I do know GM Pak is fairly selective....

Choi was a higher military rank and had a lot of influence with the government in power at the time. Else the credit would have likely gone to Lee Won-kuk.
