Mac It's nice to hear from and see so many of grand Master Jae Joon Kim's students. I originally started at the Hazel Park Rec Center under Grand master Kim's Middle Son, Master Saul Myoung Kim. I think I tested up until first Gup under Grand master Kim. Then I was with Master Lee Buesking for about 12 or 13 years until I moved to Western Kentucky in 1996 I made the rank of third dan but haven't gotten much farther. there are not many Tang So Do schools close enough to train at. I met Grand Master Boliard once or twice at different events. GM JJ Kim Will be Missed along With Grand Master Hwang Kee They don't make GM's like that any more. I have Hwang Kee's first book it's a good book did he ever publish the second or third books? I really enjoy this News letter especially on the Korean martial arts you all sound like a good bunch of Martial artist to me and that is a good thing to be and to be proud of. --__--__-- Message: 8 From: "Christian Briggs" To: Subject: Re: [The_Dojang] RE: Korean Lanuage Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 07:59:32 -0800 Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I was tuaght "lead by example"...so role model.

"I'm not worried about the outlook of taekwondo as it is one of the most beloved sports in the world," said Choue during the "2008 Good Luck Beijing" International Taekwondo Invitational Tournament, which has drawn 128 athletes from 27 countries and regions. "Now we already have 188 members and we will discuss on adding six more to 194 at the oncoming conference in May. Besides, the population who play taekwondo in the world has increased to 70 million which is the second largest number among all the competitive events, only less than the soccer. So we have reason to picture its bright future," said the president. According to Choue, the WTF is also planning to expand the medals' distribution in the Olympics. Besides, compared to the 60 teams in Athens, three more delegations will appear at the arena in the August. "First, we will bring the two-bronze-medal rule to the Beijing Olympics; then we will consider increasing the number of category from four to eight in men's and women's division respectively in the future, which might be achieved after the London Olympics." On the controversy surrounding misjudging referees, Chou said that the WTF had carried out a series of detailed measures to minimize the problem. Since last summer, 54 out of 140 judges had been selected to accept the systemic training, which included the practical tests of five continental championships. Then the 29 eligible judges will show up in the Beijing Olympics. The president also spoke highly of taekwondo development in China. He said he was impressed by the fact that taekwondo had entered some elementary schools as elective courses, let alone hundreds of popular clubs among nation-wide universities. "I will tell you a story to show the popularity of this sport in China. Last year, I made a trip to Shaolin Temple in Zhengzhou city, where I found the number of people who played taekwondo was 100,000 while Wushu's practitioners yet had a smaller population of 40,000. >From this, We can see China's potential strength in taekwondo tomorrow," said Choue. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ 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 1994-2008: Ray Terry and http://MartialArtsResource.com Standard disclaimers apply.
