At the Beijing talks, the two sides exchanged opinions to produce a final agreement on the establishment of the proposed coordination committee. Mr. Manseek Choe, deputy secretary general of the WTF and Mr. Seok-jae Kang, director of the WTF's PR Division, represented the WTF, while Mr. Yong-son Ri, deputy secretary general of the ITF, led the ITF contingent. For the formation of the coordination committee, delegates of the two taekwondo organizations met in Beijing on four occasions. The presidents of the WTF and the ITF are expected to sign a mutual agreement on the establishment of the Coordination Committee for Taekwondo Integration in early December during the 15th Asian Games in Doha, Qatar. North Korean Ung Chang, member of the International Olympic Committee, leads the ITF. On Sept. 20, 2006, the two presidents and Dr. Jacques Rogge, president of the IOC, met at the headquarters of the IOC in Lausanne, Switzerland, where the IOC president coordinated the ongoing talks between the two taekwondo organizations. The IOC president proposed that an agreement on the integration of technical rules be reached before any decision can be taken on administrative integration. --__--__-- Message: 2 From: David Weller Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2006 11:00:56 -0600 To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] form development Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Jye, From what I have seen on the net and (sadly) in person a couple of times, all one has to do to develop a "new" form is to put "Eye of the Tiger" on the CD player and flail around for a few minutes.. After I saw the local Krotty school (thankfully now deceased) don their multicolor Gi's and do a musical form (to "eye of the tiger", imagine that!) at a demonstration I determined that doing forms to music is absolutely the most horrible mis-use of martial arts imaginable. The only thing worse would be INVENTING the form that is performed to the music. And these same folks were dissing our TKD school/style because it's no good "in the streets" .... roflmao!!!! dave weller On Nov 29, 2006, at 4:58 AM, the_dojang- request@martialartsresource.net wrote: > Quick question, has anyone on this list developed any new TKD forms? > > Jye --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2006 09:10:13 -0800 (PST) From: Jye nigma Subject: Re: [The_Dojang] form development To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I wasn't really thinking of musical forms, but I don't see a problem with a form performed to music IF the music is created for the form. I'm just sick of that Mortal Kombat music played with forms....geesh.

If a down block is one sound and a quarter turn is a rhythm pattern and a sidekick is another sound...what does a form sound like?

I am just beginning to train in bo staff, but my instructor does not yet have anything down on paper that I can use to study at home. Anything that teaches the basics would be greatly appreciated.
