From my rudimentary knowledge of Korean, having only studied it for 5 years, I would like to add something to this... The Korean characters for Yi I's first and last name are the same (but the Chinese is different, of course). The Koreans I have talked to have pronounced it "Ee Ee". The "Yi" (and Lee and Rhee, etc.) is just a romanized way of spelling the names... Just a thought... **bows** - Bert Edens, II Dan TKD Springdale, Arkansas -----Original Message----- Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2006 13:20:26 -0500 From: "Cayson, Clint" My cousin pronounced it as "yee ee"...

The program requires you to submitt attendance and scholastic records and in exchange the national organization sends the instructor a nominal tuition quarterly. The program is aimed at giving "at-risk" youth something posative to do and have posative peer and role models. The "at-risk" definition is fairly broad, but the overal goal is to reduce youth crimes. The hosting school usually participates in two (or more) fundraisers per year a board break and a kick-a-thon done simutaneously nationwide. It can produce some decent publicity if you follow the steps in their planning kit. The money you raise goes into an earmarked account which pays your sponsored students "tuition." Overall an excellent way to say yes to a student that really wants to train, but realistically can not afford your normal tuition. mc --------------------------------- Have a burning question?

Ray ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Julia.Jenkins Date: Dec 13, 2006 9:10 AM Subject: RE: ABC TELEVISION To: martialartsresource@gmail.com Greetings ~ My name is Julia Jenkins and I am a casting producer for ABC's hit reality show 'Wife Swap.' We are currently casting for our third season and I am looking for families that live and breathe the martial arts. We cast everywhere from Maine to California, and this would bring a great dynamic to the show. If you are unfamiliar with the show, Wife Swap is a fascinating story of what happens when two married couples see themselves and their spouses in a whole new light. Time Magazine calls Wife Swap "a riveting examination of family values." The New York Post says, "It should be called 'Life Swap' because it's not just the wives who learn something here. It's the families." The premise of Wife Swap is simple: for six days, two wives from two different families with very different values exchange husbands, children and lives (but not bedrooms) to discover what it's like to live a different woman's life. Here at 'Wife Swap' we look for a two-parent home with at least one child between the ages of 6 and 17 living at home fulltime. We are currently casting for our third season, so don't miss out on this amazing experience! Families that appear on the show receive $20,000 as a thank you. And if you refer a family that appears on the show you would receive $1000. If you have a family and you are interested in applying for the show, or if you know of any great families that you would like to refer, please EMAIL: julia.jenkins@rdfusa.com. Please provide details in your email!! Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you! *Julia Jenkins | Casting * *RDF USA| **440 9th Avenue**| **11th Floor**| **New York**|** NY 10001 **tel. + 1 212 404 1429 | fax. + 1 212 404 1423 julia.jenkins@rdfusa.com | www.rdfusa.com* --__--__-- Message: 7 Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2006 15:28:23 -0800 From: The_Dojang To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] WTF Newsletter Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net WTF Newsletter, December 13, issue # 6 has just been emailed out and should be available soon at http://wtf.org/site/news/newsletter.htm. --__--__-- Message: 8 From: Ray Subject: Re: [The_Dojang] GM Edward B.

Such arts become part of a country's cultural heritage, and an effective means of teaching foreigners a little about the country. In a former issue of The Budapest Sun, we informed readers about a Congolese man practicing and teaching the Japanese martial art Aikido. Here we interview a Hungarian, and his beloved Korean art of Hapkido (HKD). "The Hungarian Hapkido Association (MAHAPSz) was founded in 2000, with the aim of introducing and popularizing this dynamic and eclectic martial art in Hungary," Dr Alex Ember, a fifth dan in Taekwondo (TKD), third dan in HKD and President of MAHAPSz, explained. "Most of the founders of Hapkido had mastered one or more other martial arts, mainly Taekwondo." As Ember explained, Taekwondo is another "excellent Korean martial art" and also an olympic fighting sport, mainly emphasizing kicking techniques. The olympic line in Hungary is represented by the WTF Taekwondo Association. "During our Taekwondo practice, we were exposed to Hapkido, which, besides its Korean roots, also has some Japanese elements. "In addition to Taekwondo techniques, Hapkido also applies stretching, joint manipulations, throws, breakfalls, chokes, strikes, and even some weapons." There are several sub-styles within Hapkido, but all of them feature mainly as a martial art, and rarely as a fighting sport. That is why many Hapkido associations do not organize fighting competitions. But those that do, regard competition as only a fragment of the event; the participants also compare their knowledge in breaking techniques, armed or unarmed formal practice, and self-protection techniques. As with most sporting pursuits, in order to achieve outstanding results at European or World competition, or at the Olympic Games, one has to train hard from early childhood and take up the pursuit as a lifestyle. "But what about people that do not actually want to be top sportsmen, or stop their jobs, studies or other duties? What about those unable to train 6-8 hours a day?" Ember, who works as a lawyer and also as a lecturer at the Faculty of Law of the Szeged University, asked. "And what about those that would prefer getting to know the artistic side of Hapkido, rather than the sport? Also, of course, you must remember competitive sports can be done only until a certain age, and even a small injury can end a sportman's career," he added. "This is the reason why one of the basic aims of MAHAPSz is to train people that do not want to be top sportspeople, those who would simply like to practice an ancient martial art. "Presently, MAHAPSz includes almost 10 clubs, all of which practice both Taekwondo and Hapkido." According to the 32-year-old president, there is no age too young for starting to learn a martial art. "In our junior groups, we deal with children from the age of three- to four-years-old. We at MAHAPSz believe that, in general, a martial art can be useful for anyone, regardless of their physical condition or age. "By practicing, many physical, psychological and cognitive skills can be developed, such as the ability to focus your concentration, sense of balance, depth perception, reflexes, persistence and, of course, also a person's open-mindedness towards other cultural values." Ember said he has been practicing Hapkido and Taekwondo for 20 years, and still loves the arts. "For all its complexity, I was charmed by the art of Hapkido at first glance. I think this art is a perfect companion to Taekwondo, and also, a perfect system in itself." DEFINITIONS IN the Korean language, hap means "harmony, coordinated," or "joining." Ki describes internal energy, the spirit, strength, or power. Do means "way" or "art." Thus, Hapkido translates literally as "joining-energy-art," but it is most often rendered as "the way of coordinating energy." Hapkido prides itself on offering a total self-defense regime, and, as such, deals with common "unskilled" attacks, coordinating, controlling and reversing the energy of the attackers. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ The_Dojang mailing list The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang http://the-dojang.net Old digest issues @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com/pub/the_dojang Copyright 1994-2006: Ray Terry and http://MartialArtsResource.com Standard disclaimers apply.
