When I was coming up if yous stepped out of line you got spanked simple as that, nowadays, people think spanking is harmful to children and try to have it outlawed. Which means that children are growing up unafraid of anything. In my community; the african american community, it was a normal thing to get spanked and very rare to speak out against your parents, but nowadays, I'm seeing young brothers and sisters disrespect their parents, and elders and what not. So it comes as no surprise that parents would get all bent out of shape if you did that. They probably allow their child to do anything they want to do. jye George Popofski wrote: One of our instructors tapped a kid on the head with a padded kicking target to reinforce that his hands needed to be up, and the parents filed a police report against the instructor and school. The police came and questioned everybody but no charges were pressed. This was a wake up call that times have indeed changed. _______________________________________________ The_Dojang mailing list, 2,200 members The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net Copyright 1994-2007: Ray Terry and Martial Arts Resource Standard disclaimers apply http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang --------------------------------- Looking for earth-friendly autos?

The event, which took place at the Hoban Gymnasium in downtown Chuncheon, drew about 160 athletes and officials from 19 countries. Among the participating countries are China, Chinese Taipei, Egypt, France, Iran, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey and Korea. "The electronic protector taekwondo championships are very important for the future of the WTF, as they will determine whether the electronic protector system will be adopted at the upcoming 2007 World Taekwondo Championships and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games," said WTF President Chungwon Choue during the opening ceremony of the championships. Dr. Choue said, "The development of the electronic protector system opens a new chapter for the WTF, as we strive to enhance our refereeing and judging standards." "This is an endeavor that must succeed. There is no room for error." The opening ceremony was followed by a demonstration of taekwondo practitioners with a disability, and a demonstration of competition uniforms for taekwondo poomsae. Attending the opening ceremony of the championships were Dr. Nat Indrapana, vice president of the WTF and IOC member of Thailand, and Mr. Wu Ching Kuo, a member of the WTF's Advisory Council and IOC member of Chinese Taipei. Among other dignitaries were Mr. Ketil Petterson, the ORIS (Olympic Results & Information System) sport analyst for taekwondo, and Mr. Cao Tao, competition manager for taekwondo of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games. The opening day of the championships using electronic protectors featured two male and two female Olympic categories. In the male -58kg category, Japan's Kango Uchimura won the gold medal by brushing aside a stiff challenge from Spain's Jose Lois Mendez. The bronze was shared by Egypt's Tamer Salah Ali Baumi and France's Seninor Thomas. In the female -49kg class, Mexico's Alejandra Gaal clinched the gold in the sudden-death round by beating Korea's Jo Eun-bi. The bronze went to the Philippines' Alora Kathleen Eunice and Greece's Fotini Birba. In the male -80kg final match, France's Lopes Jonathan needed the fourth sudden-death round to earn his country the gold medal as he outperformed Italy's Sarmiento Mauro. The bronze went to Turkey's Serdar Akin and Egypt's Adb Al-Rahman Osama Tawfik. Turkey's Sibel Guler won the gold medal in the female -67kg final as she outpointed Korea's Kim Ji-hye 4-2. The bronze was shared by Egypt's Seham Mohamed El Sawalhy and the Philippines' Alora Kirstie Elaine. The existing kyorugi competition rules of the WTF were applied to the electronic protector event, except some changed rules. According to the newly applied rules are as follows: No time limit was given to the sudden-death round until any contestant scores a point. In the decision of the sudden-death round, only positive points count. The win by a 12-point ceiling was not applied this time, but the 7-point gap was applied. In case of attacks on the front face where there are no sensors, points will be valid if two out of three referees (center referee and corner judges) give points when one of the center referee or corner judges raise an objection. Samsung, the global partner of the WTF, participated in the event as a sponsor. On March 3, various events, including international referee training sessions, were held in Chuncheon for the WTF Electronic Protector International Taekwondo Championships. The referee training sessions, among others, drew great interest from participating athletes and officials. Several countries sent their national players to Chuncheon just for monitoring the electronic protector championships. --__--__-- Message: 4 From: "Gordon" To: Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2007 09:53:54 -0600 Subject: [The_Dojang] The WTF Electronic Protector Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net So, the electronic chest protector, ga sum ho goo, will tell officials when a point has been scored to the trunk of the body? What about every other valid target? I see this helping in disputes, if there is a recording of events as they happen on a time line, but not a cure-all to competition controversies. I think it will play out like instant replay for the NFL.
