About 10 years ago I was informed via email by the little man that I was kicked off of tkd.net for posting my first post on this forum. Funny, I haven't thought about glenn since that day. Kind of like removing a thorn and moving on I guess. Good luck with removing this thorn from any position of power within the martial arts community. People like him have no business representing martial integrity. Jim Grimestad Red River Traditional TaeKwonDo p.s.

It has been divided for more than 36 years but now is the time to reunite. So I seek integration with the World Taekwondo Federation,” said Choi Jung-hwa, chairman of the International Taekwon-Do Federation. Choi yesterday held an exclusive interview with The Dong-A Ilbo at the Grand Intercontinental Hotel in Seoul. As a preliminary step toward consolidation of the two bodies, he said he will relocate his organization’s headquarters in Vancouver, Canada, to South Korea. The international federation will also hold its world championship in South Korea next year. Pyongyang said it will host the event in 2011. Instead of immediate integration, Choi proposed the creation of a new organization overseeing the two bodies first and seeking coexistence between the two taekwondo styles. He said he wants to diversify taekwondo for further expansion along the lines of wrestling, which has Greco-Roman and freestyle. The international federation has not reached an agreement with its rival, but the latter has no reason to object to integration, Choi said, adding he will negotiate with world federation officials in his visit to Seoul. The international federation was founded by Choi’s father, the late Gen. Choi Hong-hi, who also served as its chairman. The elder Choi fled South Korea in 1972 after a disagreement with then President Park Chung-hee and relocated the organization’s headquarters to Canada in 1974. Choi Jung-hwa has led the international federation since 2003. The world federation was formed in 1973 in Seoul, a year after Choi Hong-hi went into exile. Since the international federation began teaching North Korean-style taekwondo in the 1980s, the two bodies have remained at odds. “My father wanted integration with the World Taekwondo Federation though he built unintentional ties with North Korea. The North took advantage of our federation. Though he could not fulfill his hope because of differing political ideologies, he would agree to this integration if he were alive,” Choi Jung-hwa said. “All political challenges have been addressed, and I believe the (South) Korean government will actively support our integration.” --__--__-- Message: 8 From: Ray To: The_Dojang Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2009 21:38:14 -0700 Subject: [The_Dojang] Four fallen LEOs in Oakland, Calif Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Emotional Tributes Honor Fallen Oakland Officers March 25 KTVU OAKLAND, Calif. -- The city virtually halted Friday for the funeral of four slain police officers, with a populace still in shock jamming a large sports arena, spilling into an overflow stadium and filling the streets to pay their last respects. The funerals for Mark Dunakin, John Hege, Ervin Romans and Daniel Sakai, who authorities say were gunned down March 21 by a parolee during a traffic stop and a later shootout, shut down major freeways into and out of Oakland for much of the day as their long processions made their way to and from the Oracle Arena. The officers' violent deaths marked the deadliest incident for law enforcement in California in nearly four decades and the deadliest nationwide since Sept. 11, 2001. Underscoring the magnitude of the tragedy, a somber pageant of uniformed officers from every type of agency -- police departments, sheriffs' offices, highway patrols from across the country and Canada -- overwhelmed the arena. The entire 815-member Oakland Police Department, wearing dress white caps and gloves and black mourning bands on their badges, filled the front rows, saluting their fallen brethren as their flag-draped caskets were carried inside. Loved ones, community members and dignitaries, including Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, state Attorney General Jerry Brown, made up the rest of the mourners in the arena, with a large overflow crowd filing into the adjacent Oakland Coliseum to watch the service on jumbo screens -- more than 20,000 attendees in all. "These four men were and are heroes, but they weren't made of steel. They always knew the day may come," Feinstein said in her address to the crowd. "When the time came to make the ultimate sacrifice, their final hour was one of their finest." Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums also attended the service, but was asked not to speak by at least one family of the victims, his spokesman said. Paul Rose said he did not know which family made the request or the reason. President Barack Obama and his first lady Michelle also sent condolences in a letter, read by Oakland police chaplain Jayson Landeza, saying, "their commitment to their fellow man will never be forgotten." But one of the most affecting tributes came from Oakland Police Capt. Edward Tracey, commander of the SWAT team that cornered parolee Lovelle Mixon in an apartment, prompting the deadly shootout that left Sgt. Romans, Sgt. Sakai and the suspect dead. The violence began earlier in the day when Mixon allegedly shot Sgt. Dunakin and Officer Hege at a routine traffic stop. "These were my men," Tracey said. "They died doing what they loved: riding in motorcycles, kicking in doors, serving in SWAT." In a speech that brought tears to the crowd, he thanked the citizens who called the police on the suspect after the traffic stop and singled out Clarence Ellis, a 53-year-old former bus driver who stepped forward to perform CPR on Dunakin at the scene. Tracey also addressed the members of the SWAT team present when Romans and Sakai were killed. "Console yourself knowing that they spent their last moments in your company," he said, also telling the officers not to let the deaths "hold you back." The officers' coffins lined the front of the arena. The tall black motorcycle boots that Dunakin and Hege wore were placed by their caskets. Individual eulogies from friends, colleagues and relatives of the officers sketched portraits of dedicated, hard-working family men. Dunakin, 40, known as "Dunny," was the life of the party and loved looking good on his motorcycle. Hege, 41, volunteered to work overtime at the Coliseum during Raiders home games to see his favorite team. Romans, 43, a former Marine Corps drill sergeant, was an avid hunter and enjoyed cooking up his game. Sakai, 35, was a former Boy Scout who loved backpacking through untouched wilderness. Private burials for the officers were held later in the day. Outside the arena, a sea of police vehicles -- bomb-squad trucks, motorcycles, Ford Crown Victorias and Dodge Charger cruisers -- filled the parking lot. New York City Police Lt. Tommy Ng, who attended the ceremony, said the tragedy brought back memories of Sept. 11. He said he was not surprised by the outpouring of support for his colleagues in Oakland. "When one of us is hurt, all of us are hurt," Ng said before the service. "We're all brothers." Minneapolis Police Sgt. Steve Blackwell and three other officers drove two squad cars from Minnesota over three days to attend Friday's service. "It's a national tragedy," Blackwell said, "so it cuts pretty deep. We want to let the people of Oakland see that we care. I hope that this city finds strength from this tragedy to move ahead." For those in the Oakland Police Department, the loss is almost unspeakable. Gery Gilbert, 49, a traffic clerk at the Eastmont substation, where the slain officers worked, said she had a hard time just getting up Friday morning. She recalled how excited Hege was to be on motorcycle patrol when she last saw him two weeks ago, just one week after he joined the patrol. Ronit Tulloch, a resident of Oakland, said she wanted to attend the funeral to show her gratitude for the work police officers do to protect citizens. "You take it for granted, you forget what they're really there for," she said. "They just get up every day and do it. It's amazing." = = = = = = = ======================================================================== Donate To Trust Funds For Fallen Oakland Officers Trust funds established thus far are as follows: Persons wishing to express contributions for the trust funds of fallen officers may do so by two methods: 1.
