He used the glow in the dark nunchucks with all the lights in the dojang off. For the kids, I guess they kind of enjoyed it, but for us serious martial artists who were in attendance, many of us were appalled.

I'm just sick of that Mortal Kombat music played with forms....geesh.

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 JOEL MC TAGUE, JD, MBA, ChFC, RFC, DBA (Fin) (Candidate), LLM (Tax) (Candidate) --__--__-- Message: 2 From: "Joel McTague" To: Subject: re: [The_Dojang] Bo Staff form Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 07:32:15 -0600 Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net There is a series by Stephen Hayes http://www.skhquest.com/ that is really good. There's also another set, which I'm looking for right now in my collection, that I haven't seen listed in the catelogs for quite a while that is fairly comprehensive for the basics and gets you to the entry level competition stuff.

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.

Montgomery" To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] "New" Forms Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net About 15-20 years ago my instructor, Mr. Amanat developed a new form, but it was specifically for MMA tournament competition. I am sure I am butchering the name "Jar Moon Tou Sai" which I was told basically meant young warrior. Our team has been very successful performing this form and it is a requirement for second dan - along with a weapons kata. What is interesting, is now I see lots of schools in the area doing a derivative of the form. For a bo staff form, I would google it and look for a Japanese form - although you can find some flashy stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ER_WO853gQ (This is Wayne before he decided to go into acting) and some more traditional stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QObXyL-PR9c or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8qQpPsTx3U __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

A visit to Korea without experiencing the art of Taekwondo for oneself is incomplete. Four journalists from the Philippines and Brunei Darussalam including the writer had the opportunity to experience for themselves the basic techniques of Taekwondo in its true form during their recent visit to Seoul. They were introduced to a master of the sport - Master Ryan An - at his academy in Seoul. Master Ryan An has mastered Taekwondo for a number of years and his love for the sport has encouraged him and his wife to establish their own Taekwondo academy where they teach young children as well as foreign visitors to experience the martial art for themselves. The exclusive one-day Taekwondo training was tailored for the journalists who wanted to study the art of self-defence. After participating in some stretching exercises and understanding the basics of the heavy safety gears that the journalists had to don, they were expected to break the individual Taekwondo boards using the mere force of untrained fists. Although some may relate 'Taekwondo' as the "Korean Karate", the martial art has since the beginning of time caught the attention of a number of international followers. The traditional Korean martial art directly translates to the word 'The Way of Kicking and Striking'. This art form uses the force of the hands and feet to challenge an opponent and its precise kick movements have become the trademark of the sport. Its strength in the Korean roots has made a group of Korean martial art leaders to choose Taekwondo as a dominating Korean martial art in 1955 and it has since drew strong followers internationally. Although its origin may still be unknown, some have their own ideas of how it came about. According to some beliefs, the art has been linked to Korea's three-kingdom era when the Silla Dynasty warriors, the Hwarang, began to develop a martial art that was then known as 'Tae Kyon' meaning foot-hand. Others feel that Taekwondo began as a form of Chinese boxing, which was established at the Shaolin Temple in 520 BC by Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism. A third possibility is that Taekwondo developed from Japanese or Okinawan Karate. However, strong testimonials have attributed the origins of Taekwondo to the influences of other Asian martial art techniques combined with traditional Korean techniques of kickboxing. --__--__-- Message: 8 Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 16:55:05 -0800 From: The_Dojang To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] PAE-HSC Call For Interest Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net PAE-HSC Call For Interest PAE-HSC Civilian Police Programs is recruiting for personnel to fill the following positions in a program to assist the Counter-Narcotics Police-Afghanistan (CNPA), a collaborate effort between DEA, the Department of State and the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement & the Afghani government.
