The inaugural WTF-promoted poomsae event, which took place at the Olympic Gymnasium in Olympic Park, drew 590 athletes and officials from 59 countries. "Based on the performances and the keen participation of 59 countries over the past few days, I am heartened to say that the 1st WTF World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships have been a resounding success," said Dr. Chungwon Choue, president of the World Taekwondo Federation, during the closing ceremony of the championships. WTF President Choue said, "Korea has dominated the championships this year and I congratulate the Korean team on that. Nonetheless, I take heart in the dedication of all athletes of all nations." "Based on the performances of these past days, I believe that other nations will very soon enhance their standards and produce worthy champions of their own. I look forward to that." He continued to say, "With more accomplishments, I believe that the discipline of poomsae will someday be an important sport of the International Paralympic Committee." "For this reason, I am pleased to announce that next year's poomsae championships will feature athletes with disabilities as well. We aim to reach out to all poomsae enthusiasts and be a global sport-for-all." "The emergence of poomsae and the inauguration of Taekwondo Day is testament to the important role that the World Taekwondo Federation can play in the international community," he said. "I believe the World Taekwondo Federation has the potential to be an omnipresent partner in the propagation of the Olympic Movement." The 2nd WTF World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships are scheduled to take place in Incheon, Korea. Samsung, the global partner of the WTF, sponsored the inaugural poomsae championships. Samsung also sponsored the 6th WTF World Junior Taekwondo Championships in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on July 26-30, 2006. It will also sponsor the 1st WTF World Cup Taekwondo Team Championships scheduled for Sept. 14-18, 2006 in Bangkok, Thailand. Prior to the closing ceremony, WTF President Choue honored six international referees for their "outstanding and exemplary" officiating at the Poomsae Championships. The six are Mr. Kang-in Kim of Korea, Tong-wan Shin of Great Britain, Varo Darid Barragan of Panama, Carmen Navarro of Spain, Teong Chin Lim of Singapore, and Nar Syshidah Binti of Malaysia. Of the 59 participating countries, 13 countries earned at least one medal at the inaugural Poomsae Championships. Korea swept all the 16 gold medals up for grabs, followed by Iran with four silver medals and three bronze medals and Turkey with three silvers and two bronzes. Spain came next with two silvers and six bronzes, followed by Australia with two silvers and Germany with one silver and one bronze. Vietnam, France, Denmark and the Netherlands each clinched one silver medal. Chinese Taipei won two bronzes, while Italy and Russia earned one bronze. --__--__-- Message: 4 Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2006 06:18:28 -0700 (PDT) From: Jeremy Anderson Subject: Re: [The_Dojang] Sparring To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Jye, Does that mean no food at all for 40 days *and* nights?

They do the ITF forms, and are affiliated with GM Yun, Duk An of Milwaukee, Wis. The owner, Mr. Alan Adam, and the BB instructors are fine folks I am proud to call my friends.

I originally was going to do 40 days with just water and herbal teas, but I checked out someone who has done it a few times, and they filled me in. I'll tell you what, I felt so good, skin was amazing, energy level through the roof. Actually, fasting is required of those in the christian faith, but over time it has become a thing of the past in many churches. So that was my grand introduction into doing what I'll be doing from now on, fasting. My nickname at school is Moses...lol. I told a classmate because if I passed out (as some people do) then they'd know what's wrong. this nut went around telling everyone...lol. So now they call me Moses..lol. Anyhow, for those interested in fasting I'd say do your research because once you hit day three there is no turning back. Even after 3 days of fasting, you can't go right back to solid foods. Do your research, meet with your doctors and all that good stuff. Then if you're christian stay in prayer with God often, and you WILL have an experience beyond explanation. Jye "David P.

I kept thinking about what I was going to cook when I could eat again...lol. It really releases the mind so you can see the slave the body is to physical things. it's funny, it's sad, and empowering all at the same time. Basically with all the additives and junk in our food today, we are on drugs sort of speak and like most folks on drugs we think we're ok until somehow we're off of the drug and have a moment of clarity. I got my moment of clarity on this fast. I became sharper, my awareness grew to a level that would make a dog nervous, all my senses were enhanced, sound, smell and taste in particular, energy plunged on day 3 but after that skyrocketed. Now I will say that me losing 40+ lbs, I lost 40 to 45lbs and that's not healthy, I think I lost that much due to being in the hot sun doing construction cleanup which is physically demanding with all the scrubbing scrapping, etc. but I had endless energy. Before I lost weight I was losing inches. ultimately I went from 240 to 200. What I would recommend to someone who wants to fast is to do there research on fasting, partake in not only physical exercises but also chi kung, prayer above all things, and fasting with only liquids like juiced fruits and veggies and water, which by the way I drank distilled water- check out the benefits of distilled water. then when they're ready do the 40 days. For my christian brothers and sisters on the list. let me say this to you. If you have something bad going on in your life, maybe health problems, drug problems, or a friend with problems, whatever the case may be, I encourage you to step out on faith and fast (doesn't have to be for 40 days or 20 or 10, etc) and pray for that thing, and watch at how things change.

In 1976, Dr. Ko discovered and invented the modern medical method of measuring blood volume in the human body utilizing a laser-augmented plethysmographic sensor that he designed to fit over the ear lobe. His research lead to the creation of the modern day heart rate monitors. From 1977 to 1979, Dr. Ko registered and authored three U.S. Patents while at Boeing Military Airplane Company in Wichita, Kansas. All three of them were directed toward the technical support of the B-52G and H model terrain-following and terrain-avoidance capabilities of this strategic bomber. In 1980, Dr. Ko brought Kansas' first Atomic Clock (a Cesium-Beam, Primary Time and Frequency Standard) to his Primary Standards Metrology Laboratory (across from the VA Hospital) in Wichita. His laboratory was the only one of its kind in a five state area that was directly traced to the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology) in Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Naval Observatory (keepers of the U.S. Time Standard). In 1985, Dr. Ko developed and patented a method of detecting the presence of oil or gas, stratigraphically trapped below the subsurface of the Kansas and Oklahoma geology utilizing the natural Magneto-telluric and ELF (extremely low frequency) electromagnetic fields generated by the Earth. In the following year, 1986, Dr. Ko (in his laboratory), verified the European and Canadian postulates and theories supporting the fact that we, as humans, are biologically and psycho-physiologically affected by both electric and magnetic fields of extremely low frequency. As of June, 2003, Dr. Ko has re-initiated his research in Neuro-Bio-Electro-Magnetics. This important research work is private and involves the direct entrainment of brainwaves and neuronal activity in the Epsilon Neuronal Band (brainwaves below 0.5000 Hertz), Delta Neuronal Band (brainwaves from 0.5000 to 3.0000 Hertz), Theta Neuronal Band (brainwaves from 4.0000 to 7.0000 Hertz), Alpha Neuronal Band (brainwaves from 8.0000 to 13.0000 Hertz), Beta Neuronal Band (brainwaves from 14.0000 to 30.0000 Hertz), Gamma Neuronal Band (brainwaves above 30.0000 Hertz), Hyper-Gamma Neuronal Band (above 40.00000 Hertz and up to and including 100.00000 Hertz, and Lambda Neuronal Band (brainwave activity at 200.00000 Hertz). Dr. Ko is also investigating paranormal effects and enhancements with pure and very precise gaussian magnetic fields entraining the brainwave activity in the up-to-now uncharted brainwave regions (windows) of 3 to 4 Hertz, 7 to 8 Hertz, 13 to 14 Hertz and a specific Gamma brainwave frequency of 40.00000 Hertz. Dr. Ko has the capability to immediately investigate the Hyper-Gamma and Lambda brainwave regions and their effects on consciousness, super-consciousness, and enhanced intelligence. Dr. Ko's methods are highly proprietary. His methods have never been utilized until now. Patents for his special process(es) will be applied for. Dr. Ko has the capability to precisely entrain all neuronal frequencies throughout the entire brainwave spectrum to a resolution of one (1) microHertz (0.000001 cycles per second). In order to aid in the support of this leading-edge brainwave research, Dr. Ko offers his technical services in engineering, consultation, and precision measurement of ALL electromagnetic fields in homes, business offices, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, manufacturing facilities, schools, universities, large corporations, small business environments, and any working environment that may suspect electric and/or magnetic fields that are being generated above the thresholds of a biologically and psychophysiologically safe-environment for humans or animals. In addition to Dr. Ko's ability to precisely measure the electric and magnetic field intensities of these electromagnetic energy-enriched environments, he is also immediately capable of performing full spectral analysis of the measured electromagnetic fields to further identify their harmonics and, consequently, their biological and psychophysiological ill-effects. The most immediate concern for adverse exposure to these energy fields are the power generating fundamental fields of 60 Hertz (cycles-per-second) and all of its odd and even harmonic frequency components. If anyone reading this manifesto has an immediate or future need for Dr. Ko's professional services, please don't hesitate to call him at his Wichita office: (316) 651-5050 At the age of 8, Dr. Ko, as a young boy, passed an examination by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and at that time (1959) was the youngest licensed ham radio operator in the State of Ohio. His radio station was assigned the call sign, WA8ZKN. None of this would have been possible without the guidance and mentoring of some very old ham radio operator's who took him under their collective wings. Those mentors recognized early on that his natural talents in understanding electrical and magnetic properties were evident and stated to his parents that he was a prodigy. Most of these old ham mentors had always told him that he would be a very unique scientist someday. The points of ham radio that first sparked the interest of Dr. Ko was to witness the operation of these old Ham radio operators using Slow Scan Television (SSTV) on the 20 and 40 meter Band as well as Radioteletype (RTTY) being sent and received from all over the world. So, the art and science of Ham Radio was largely responsible for Dr. Ko leading into a very early career in electrical engineering, electrophysics, and electromagnetics. He always seem to know what he was going to do with his life. The Boeing Military Airplane Company in Wichita was responsible for bringing Dr. Ko to Kansas from Ohio in 1977. After the transfer to Kansas took place, Dr. Ko was assigned a new call sign from the FCC as N(zero)EQS. Today, he holds the Advanced Class FCC License and continues his radio activity. For the past 20 years, he has focused heavily on the science of propagation of electromagnetic waves in free space. His favorite and most prized pioneer in the 1800 sciences is Hermann von Helmholtz. Then comes his student, Heinrich Hertz. However, all of the giants and pioneering scientists in physics, such as, Newton, Faraday, Ampere, Coulomb, Volt, Gauss, Watt, Oersted, Weber, Lorentz, Henry, Lenz, Heaviside, Ohm, Maxwell, Laplace, Poynting, Fourier, Bessel, Brewster, Kirchhoff, Poisson, Snell, Stoke, Weiss, Einstein, Dirac, de Broglie, Bohr, Born, Mach, Minkowski, Misner, Planck, Tesla, Schrodinger, Schwarzchild, Zeeman, Gunn, Misner, Thorne, Wheeler, Sciama, Gribbin, Hubble, Condon, Resnick, Wangsness, Hayt, and Hawking, have inspired and continue to inspire Dr. Ko and his lifelong study, research, and practice. Dr. Ko has always challenged the most difficult and unusual. He was among the few who attempted to work the first Ham in Space, W5LFL, Astronaut Dr. Owen Garriott, on STS-9 (Columbia) Space Shuttle on December 1, 1983. Dr. Ko has propagated his VHF and UHF signals through space reflecting off of the northern Aurora Borealis curtain and passing over the equator to work stations in South America on the 6 meter Band (50 MHz). He has utilized Tropospheric ducting using 2 meter and 70 centimeter wavelengths. He has utilized two-way communication by scattering and/or reflecting off of the trail and ionized tails of Meteor showers with 2 and 6 meter wavefronts. He has often utilized Sporadic E cloud propagation on 2 and 6 meter bands. He has even participated in Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) moon-bounce radio operation on 144 and 432 MHz as well as OSCAR-10 (Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio-second Phase III-B) Mode B operation. On HF (2 to 30 MHz), Dr. Ko has worked many stations around the world on 10, 12, 17, 20, 30, 40, and 80 meter bands, utilizing CW (morse), SSB (voice), SSTV (video), and RTTY modes. It has truly been an educational experience and enlightening path for Dr. Ko with his scientific and technical 'passtime' activity over many years of operation. Despite his constant submersion into a lifetime of accomplishments in the fields of Bio-Medical Engineering and Bio-Nucleonics; Government-level Metrology and Precise Measurement; the applied fields of Electro-Physics and Electro-Magnetic Geology; and Radio/TV Engineering, Dr. Ko, has always made time for his intense study and constant practice in the Traditional Martial Arts. In fact, it was his dedication to the Martial Arts and Science that kept him in excellent health and fitness during many sleepless nights, 26 hour days, and the endless duties and responsibilities in the laboratory. It is with this seriousness and dedication, that Master Dr. Ko approaches his Martial Arts now through his teachings. His training in the martial arts began in 1966 as an Amateur Golden-Glove middleweight boxer in Ohio. He retired in 1970 with an impressive record of 51/49/26/1/1. Total fights (51), won (49), won-by-knockouts (26), draws (1), lost (1). His oriental martial arts training began in 1970 with Southern Chinese Hung Ga Kung Fu (Master) Sifu Po, Chang Yee in Columbus, Ohio. This complete Shaolin boxing system was patterned after the Tiger and Crane. Master Dr. Ko and his martial arts experience spans over 35 years. He is a dedicated, full-time martial arts Master Instructor. He has been certified by many Grandmasters and Sifu to teach these complete, traditional martial art disciplines and curriculums offered at the Ko Mu Do Kwan (Ko Wu Tao Kwoon).
