For instance, in Joo Bang Lee's HWARANGDO books there were very nicely done pictures of Korea warriors. The pictures or there like turn up in other places such as Suh's 2-Book manual (see inside front and rear covers). They also turn-up infrequestly in various articles. Does anyone know where these pictures are from and where I can find a collection of such work? I;m not particular about location, I would just like to see more of this sort of art. Help?

We do several of these a year. By all means, have everyone sign a release form as Vic Cushing said. However, that will not protect you. I would recommend strongly having liability insurance for everyone associated with clinics, ect. That is for organization, its officers, owner of the building, and all instructors. I have been using Westpoint. You can find them on the internet. Also, if you have your regular studio insurance with them, they cover special events you sponsor in a lot of cases, which is a good deal. But there are a lot of other choices out there.

Vic obviously has been lucky so far, but when the chips fall, a waiver is not worth the paper it's written on. Consult with you insurance agent.

They are Chinkuchi and Koshi. I must admit, just reading that comment about Western European combat systems made me not bother to read the rest. After all, if the author is either that uninformed or that biased, why would I want to read their writing? I certainly wouldn't expect good scholarship and information.

Many words have evolved from many languages, and can have a completely different meaning than the original word. The term Kara originally ment China or Tang. It was not changed until 1936 to mean empty. Kwan Jang Nim, Do-Jang, Sa Beom Nim, etc all have a literal meaning however many people, primarly Americans, have used the terms to benefit themselves, rather than to show respect to the head of the School, a senior, or to maintain history and tradition, within their martial art. The discussion on the Do-Jang has mentioned the term Do-Jang to mean gymnasium. Gym or Gymnasium is a Greek term that literally ment place to be naked, as the gladiators word fight unclothed. I prefer to se the term Do-Jang to refer to the place I train, I also prefer to maintain the history and traditions within the art. JCGet more from the Web.
