Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Taekwondo is certainly both a sport and an art. It is also a wonderful form of meditation and a perfect adjunct to psychotherapy. As much as I love our art I must admit it is not for everyone. It's not for persons that are too feeble or too sick, but even they could appreciate the gracefulness and meditation aspect. It is most certainly not for persons who are impatient and interested only in rank. This takes much conditioning and practice before we look graceful.

However, for a more non-sport approach and non-commercial environment I would strongly recommend Master Mike Swinson. I will try to get his contact information from listmember Joe Clarke. If it does not have to be TKD and your open to TangSooDo then I would also recommend Joe Clarke's school, Pathway Martial Arts in downtown historic Buford area. I guess I should add if you're OK with a 30 minute drive through rural suburbia my school is in the Gold's Gym in Canton, Georgia.>> Hello Chuck: When a martial artist takes the time to recommend two others to you while he himself is within a 30 min drive, it tells you something about the man. We all know that the arts are only as good as the Instructor who teaches it; therefore, I highly recommend you take the 30 min drive, and train with a man who obviously has your best interest at heart. Instructors like that are hard to find.

The five-year contract was inked between WTF President Chungwon Choue and Mr. Edmund Schramm, president of Schramm Sport. Under the contract, Schramm, which produces taewkondo and other martial arts products with the brand name of Kwon, will support a taekwondo demonstration by athletes with disabilities during the opening ceremonies of the WTF-promoted World Taekwondo Championships in 2007, 2009 and 2011. The German company will also support taekwondo practitioners with disabilities either in cash or in kind over the next five years. The agreement also calls on Schramm to provide financial and in-kind assistance to countries where taekwondo is not well established. According to the contract, over 50 percent of Schramm's total supports will go to Africa. Schramm is also required to pay to the WTF 15 percent of its turnover of WTF souvenirs like shirts, hooded shirts, track suits and bags. The WTF, in turn, will grant Schramm the right to use, during the term of this contract, the "official sponsor" title in connection with the two above-mentioned projects, while Schramm is entitled to use the WTF official logo and emblem for its public relations and advertising purposes. "The signing is sure to help our efforts to include taekwondo in the official program of the Paralympic Games and to contribute to further globalization of taekwondo," said WTF President Choue. --__--__-- Message: 4 From: "Mark Gajdostik" To: Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2007 09:50:37 -0800 Subject: [The_Dojang] T-shirt screenprint company Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Happy New Year everyone, I am beginning to hate the company I currently get my t-shirts screen printed from.
