<<<he trains at the West Little Rock Kick Boxing and BJJ school with
Mark Hamolton.>>>



Are you sure that's not Matt Hamilton that you're talking about?  If so,
I think they've got a pretty good club.



<<<My question is does anyone have any suggestions about training
methods for this fight.>>>



Yep...no offense, but I think he needs a Muay Thai coach to supplement
his stand-up training.  Not that MT is the "end all be all", but that's
the delivery system he's likely to be facing if he continues along this
path and the first rule of warfare is "know thy enemy".  He needs the
techniques of how to deal with the leg kicks, the knees, and the clinch.

Subject: [The_Dojang] RE: Hilland's 3rd Annual Hapkido Seminar
Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net

Special thanks to my friends - Master Vaillancourt (7th dan TSD) who taught
gun and baseball bat disarming, Master Grimestad of www.ko-online.com (7th
dan TKD) who taught power kicking and kyuktooki (Korean street fighting),
Master Tim Cruff (5th dan jujitsu/judo) who taught jujitsu techniques and
Professor Borgen (5th dan judo) who taught conceptual judo with the ease of
a seasoned instructor. They made this weekend in Fargo, ND a huge success.
Of course I taught hapkido, after all, it is what I do. :) The highlight was
at the end when the two judo instructors taught choking techniques in tag
team style. This event was a celebration of my 32nd year in the Korean
Martial Arts (last month) as well as a friendship workshop. It was good to
see students and instructors from many different martial arts enjoy classes
from a group of instructors that have more than 150 years of combined
experience.

My wife Jennifer (with 22 years experience) started out with a demonstration
during the Master's demo, despite the fact that this past winter she had 2
disks removed from her neck and replaced with a bone graft and titanium
plates. He dan promotion came from Master West and I last fall, but she was
not well enough for the actual presentation during the past winter and we
all know that a dan promotion should occur in front of our peers. 19 years
ago I first saw her in college while I was visiting one of the other campus
clubs at Texas A&M and she was kicking some poor fellow in the head. We got
married a year later.

We enjoyed having visitors from the all parts of North Dakota, South Dakota,
Minnesota, Ohio and Nebraska, and a special thanks to the folks at
Middletown Martial Arts, a hapkido dojang in Cincinnati, and Master and Dr.
Howard from the Nebraska Hapkido Association for making the long trip to
play with us on the mats. The dojang door is always open.

We look forward to seeing many of our friends from this weekend at the big
Jackson event in September and next Spring. I am also looking forward to
teaching a hapkido workshop in Cincinnati this November.

<<<Well, I just got home from several days in Fargo, North Dakota where Jere
and Jennifer Hilland hosted their 3rd Annual Hapkido Seminar.  Having been
to all three, it was quite nice to see attendance growing with each year,
visiting with old friends and meeting new ones. Friday night was a three
hour advanced class in Hapkido with a highlight of Friday night being Mrs.
Hilland’s promotion to 4th dan Hapkido and Sah Buhm Nim. Saturday was an 8-9
hour seminar on a variety of topics with Jere teaching Hapkido and Professor
Vern Borgen (Judo), Master Tim Cruff (Jujitsu/Judo) and Master Jim Grimestad
(Taekwondo) all giving separate sessions in their respective arts.  It was
obvious that the Hilland’s have a good relationship with their Fargo
neighbors and it was refreshing to see folks from different styles out
training with each other and learning new material.

All in all a good time and I’m looking forward to next year.>>>

Black belt proves age is just a number
Ventura woman, 76, believes in positive thinking
Ventura County Star
By Andrea Barkan
July 31, 2006

At 76, Ann Zacher didn't question her ability to break boards with her
bare hands during her tae kwon do black belt test in February.

Nor did she question her ability to take up tae kwon do five years
ago, at age 71. Or, for that matter, to singly raise three young
children 40 years ago, after her divorce, on wages earned as a typist
for the County of Ventura.

"I believe in positive thinking," Zacher said last week, settled
comfortably into a couch in the same house she grew up in near
downtown Ventura.

"You can handle so much if you just realize how much strength we
have," Zacher said. "It's just the idea of always accepting you can do
things."

Zacher practices what she preaches — from taking tae kwon do to
teaching folk dancing a couple of times a week. She loves movies, too,
and is a self-described television rerun nut who corrects grammar and
pronunciation during news broadcasts.

She writes with a senior writing group and reads books twice, because
"you get more out of it."

She also sews. Last week, she donned a handmade dress in bright blocks
of orange, red, yellow and purple. Gold and red beaded earrings
stretched past her chin, swaying and sparkling. Her legs were cloaked
in fire engine red stockings, and her feet sported red Birkenstocks.

Knitting is another pastime, one she picked up from her mother, Ada Zacher.

"Mom used to make afghans and enter them in the fair," said Zacher,
who just submitted her own knitting to this year's Ventura County
Fair. "She was busy-busy, but she always had time to knit," she said
of her mother. "The whole thing is fun. I love it."

Zacher says this a lot, her lavender-lined eyes lighting up with a
sort of uncontained joy, as if she herself is surprised at the amount
of fun she has.

Of her black belt test, she said, "It was really hard. I loved it. Oh!
It's so much fun. Oh, it's fun to break those boards! You get out all
your aggressions."

Zacher said her commitment to positive thinking came from her mother,
a devotee of Christian Science. The religion, based on an
interpretation of the Scriptures asserting that disease, sin and death
can be overcome by understanding and applying the principles of
Christian teachings, wasn't widely accepted in Ventura during the
1930s and '40s.

"Everybody thought I was very weird," Zacher said. "I would never say
anything about it."

Today, she incorporates meditation into her life. "It clears your mind
of all this earthly junk we put in it," she said. "If anything is
bothering me, I'll just take it with me (into mediation) and just
leave it there for God."

Zacher's son, Troy Taylor, is her tae kwon do instructor at Gen Jitsu
Dojo in Ventura. Learning new patterns, or kata, brings Zacher the
most joy in tae kwon do. "That's the best part to me — the patterns,"
she said. "To me, it's like a dance."

She's been dancing all her life and started a local group called
"Gotta Folkdance" more than 40 years ago. "The thing that really got
me is the music," she said. "And the people. The people are so fun.

"It's just so interesting to see the things that anyone can do. It's
got nothing to do with age."
