The opening night there is a demo by all instructors and I'm proud to say that Alain's cane demo was by far the best presentation. Later he taught a cane class with excerpts from his new cane DVD. It was well-taught, well-received, and I survived (as his partner) due to his excellent control. Alain shared the outline of the DVD with me and it looks very comprehensive. You can check it out at his website: burrese.com. ~Sharon Tkach --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2007 14:31:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Mike Donahoo To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] South African school Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I am looking for a way to find and contact a school in South Africa. I believe that the school or club is called Action Sports Martial Arts and Fitness Academy. Don't quote me on that. There TaeKwonDo team is called Team Kicker. I think there Sabumnim is Master JP Camara. I am trying to find a website or e-mail to contact there school. They just came back from Korea and attending the 1st World YongMooDo summer camp and tournament. I was there with them need to contact someone from there organization about pictures. Any help is appreciated! Thanks In devotion to the art, Mike Donahoo --------------------------------- Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect.

Me neither... ======================================= B.C. gets bid to host 2010 championships Nick Buckley Battle Creek Michigan Enquirer Battle Creek-based Korean Martial Arts LLC brought home quite a bit from their trip to South Korea for the Tri-Annual Hap Ki Do International Championships this week. The school returned home with a first place showing in the group competition. They also got word that Battle Creek would receive the bid to host the 2010 International Championships, marking the first time the event will be held outside of South Korea. "We already kind of knew it, but this was official and the flag was raised," said Bob Schreiner, the school's head instructor and a fifth-degree master, when a flag was raised at the recent event in South Korea denoting the winning bid. "It's going to take a lot of help from the city and everything. The people we need to run and organize the event is going to be a huge accomplishment alone." Kellogg Arena would seem to be an ideal place to hold the 2010 Championships, but no venue has yet been picked. "I think what it shows is Battle Creek is a very good site to run large events with all kinds of interesting scopes — from baseball to Hap Ki Do," said Larry Wegener of Battle Creek Sports Promotion. "I think it will be an organizational challenge. You'll have some language barriers with people coming that speak Korean. It will be an international event and probably be the biggest event we've ever hosted." There are going to be many questions leading up to 2010, including how the Cereal City could handle the influx of international competitors and the 10,000 visitors the tournament would bring. Those issues aside, the tournament could give quite a boost to the local economy. Battle Creek Unlimited provided Korean Martial Arts LLC with financial estimates that showed the tournament would bring around $3 million into the community. As far as this past week's competition, the Battle Creek school made quite a showing at the event that had over 17,000 people from 50 countries. Katie Lee got a bronze medal in the kicking competition, while Shon Nelson silvered in kicking. Eric Hiner took gold in the long jumping (jumping over a number pads that resemble people). The tandem of Alex Lee and Jared Burdette silvered in self defense competition, while the duo of Dean Wainright and Heather Holmes took bronze in self defense competition. Korean Martial Arts LLC also took a second team to the competition, which received special recognition from the federation because of how diverse they were. "It was an awesome experience. Our students performed, and for us to walk away with the gold medal is just outstanding," Schreiner said. "It was the first time USA was represented there and I think we did the country proud." --__--__-- _______________________________________________ The_Dojang mailing list The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://the-dojang.net Old digest issues @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com/pub/the_dojang Copyright 1994-2007: Ray Terry and http://MartialArtsResource.com Standard disclaimers apply.
