At the time of the writing, he claimed he left the first organization due to politics. Funny reading that 50 years later and all the politics we have in martial arts now. He also laid claim to killing a 1250lb bull (after breaking off his 14" long horn that 4" round "at its root"), doing 175lbs for 500 reps a day "from a prone position" (bench press), and having calluses on his hand that could withstand a strike from a hammer. Everything had pictures - even the hammer strike (ouch!). Also show board breaking, weight lifting, knife defense (with elbow break, knee to groin, outside wrist lock, and windpipe choke), gun defense that looks very similar to some Hapkido techniques, and even defense using an umbrella. Double leg takedown, fireman's carry, and other things. Pretty neat read if you can find a copy.

On the fourth day of the SportAccord 2009, WTF President Choue met with IPC President Sir. Philip Craven, FISU President Mr. George E. Killan, and CIJM President Mr. Amar Addadi in separate meetings to exchange opinions on how to cooperate with each other. In a meeting with the IPC president at the WTF SportAccord booth, President Choue explained the federation’s ongoing activities for the promotion and development of para-taekwondo, including its 1st WTF World Para-Taekwondo Championships to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan on June 10, 2009. President Choue extended an invitation to Sir Philip Craven for the inaugural event. Sir Philip Craven recognized the WTF efforts and emphasized the importance of the organization of at least two World Para-Taekwondo Championships with the participation of more than 25 countries from at least three continents before being staged at the 2016 Paralympic Games. In a separate meeting between WTF leaders and the FISU president, Mr. George E. Killan acknowledged the popularity of taekwondo throughout the world and extended his congratulations to the WTF on taekwondo’s position and inclusion of poomsae in the official program of the 2009 Summer Universiade in Belgrade, Serbia, while seven sports were removed from the program. Dr. Ken Min, a WTF Council member, said that taekwondo is the first International Sports Federation which implemented the Continental University Taekwondo Championships by organizing the PanAm University Taekwondo Championships this year. In a meeting with CIJM President Amar Addadi, the WTF side explained to him its efforts for taekwondo’s inclusion in the 2013 Mediterranean Games to be held in Greece. It also explained about the organization of the Mediterranean Taekwondo Cup Championships in May 2009 in Morocco. --__--__-- Message: 7 Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2009 11:15:38 -0700 From: The_Dojang To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] 1st WTF WORLD PARA-TAEKWONDO CHIPS Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net 1st WTF WORLD PARA-TAEKWONDO CHAMPIONSHIPS To: WTF Member National Associations Dear President, Under instructions of the WTF, I feel deep honor and great pleasure to extend an invitation to your association to participate in “1st WTF World Para-Taekwondo Championships” to be held on June 10, 2009 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
