Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Reaction to brothel surprises athlete Tuesday July 14, 2009 http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/reaction-brothel-surprises-athlete-2842684 Olympic hopeful Logan Campbell says he is surprised by the stance Taekwondo New Zealand have taken, after opening a brothel to pay for his 2012 London dreams. Taekwondo New Zealand has come out saying the move has reduced Campbell's chances of being selected for the games. But 23-year-old Campbell is defending his decision, saying to "put myself in a good position to gain a medal, I need financial backing". He is aiming on raising $300,000 over the next two years. "I knew there would be people who would frown upon it," he says. "But as I'm doing it for the right reasons, I didn't think it would be a problem." Taekwondo New Zealand says the problem is that he has lost focus and has not even competed since 2008, something Campbell has disputed. "He's not on the New Zealand team going to compete at the World Championships in Denmark in October, so he's kind of thrown all those opportunities away. We're not really sure what he's about," says Matt Ransom from Taekwondo New Zealand. They also say he has moral obligations as a role model. To that Campbell says his business is perfectly legal in New Zealand. "If there was a problem with it, there would be laws against it." He says he is racing against the clock, which is why he chose the industry he has. "I want to represent New Zealand at the Olympics," he says. "Because I'm the best at what I do and have been for 10 years. "I want to do the best for my county and to do that I need financial backing." --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:58:08 -0700 (PDT) From: Mike Donahoo To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Martial arts in Africa Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I have an adult student that will be traveling to Johannesburg, Africa for a couple of months for work. Does anyone know of a school there to train in? He is a taekwondo student, WTF style, but is open to any martial art style. If you don't want to post to the list you may send it directly to me. Thank you all for your time!

While I taught Taekwondo classes for two years in University of Florida , I have realized that there are not many Taekwondo studies have been conducted in pure journals although Taekwondo is an Olympic sport and most popular discipline among various martial arts. Thus, I decide research focus on Taekwondo in order to announce the superiority of Taekwondo. I am currently conducting a study that identifies variables that affect current and potential adult members’ decision to attend and cease Taekwondo schools.   I would like to request that you would send the below on-line survey link to WTF-TaeKwonDo group members. Participation is entirely voluntary and you have to be over age of 18 for participation. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.   Individual responses will not be identified or reported. There are no physical and psychological risks associated with participating in completing this questionnaire.   Please click the on-line survey   http://survey.qualtrics.com/SE?SID=SV_3kG078Zj79MpBrK&SVID=Prod    If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (352) 328-8574 or via e-mail: minkilk@hhp.ufl.edu.   I grateful for your time and deeply appreciated your assistance with this study. I am looking forward to hearing good news.

This issue contains four articles that were commissioned and written on the topic of “A Contemporary History of the Korean Peninsula from an International Political Perspective,” along with three papers selected through rigorous peer review by the journal’s editors and guest reviewers, and one book review selected through our “Call for Book Reviews” announced last February. The first paper, written by Sang-Yoon Ma, examines international causes of South Korea’s dramatic political changes and the accompanying shift in national policy priorities during the early 1960s. While narrating South Korean political history from the downfall of Rhee Syngman to the establishment of the Park Chung-hee regime, the author demonstrates that U.S. policy functioned as a structural cause for the change of South Korea’s national policy priorities from unification to economic development. The second paper, by Seongji Woo, examines South Korea’s decision to open dialogue with North Korea in the détente period, and argues that changes in threat perception, regime characteristics, and the distribution of power between the two Koreas led the Park Chung-hee administration to a new North Korea policy. Kabwoo Koo reviews inter-Korean relations in the period from 1980 to 1997, and examines how détente formed and then declined on the Korean peninsula, making the peninsula’s division system more difficult to overcome. In the fourth paper, Kun Young Park tries to reveal the truth of the alleged North Korean Highly Enriched Uranium Program that spawned the current nuclear crisis and has greatly affected the contemporary history of the Korean peninsula. The paper also looks at how the failure of the Bush administration to adequately address the nuclear issues on the peninsula has hindered the solution of the “peninsula problem” for the Koreas and the rest of the world. This issue’s table of contents is as follows: A Contemporary History of the Korean Peninsula from an International Political Perspective Kun Young PARK / [On this topic] A Contemporary History of the Korean Peninsula from an International Political Perspective Sang-Yoon MA / From “March North” to Nation-Building: The Interplay of U.S. Policy and South Korean Politics during the Early 1960s Seongji WOO / The Park Chung-hee Administration amid Inter-Korean Reconciliation in the Détente Period: Changes in the Threat Perception KOO Kab-Woo / Regime Characteristics, and the Distribution of Power Gone but Not Dead, Sprouting but Not Yet Blossoming: Transitions in the System of Division, 1980-1997 Kun Young PARK / Nuclear Politicking on the Korean Peninsula: A Highly Enriched Uranium Program Coming Out of the Pandora’s Box ARTICLES Youngmin KIM / “Questions to the Creator” in Korean Intellectual History Sugmin YOUN, Namjun KANG, and Heejin KIM / The Never-Ending Myth: An Analysis of the Sociopsychological Mechanism of Hwang Woo-Suk Syndrome SIHN Kyu-hwan / Unexpected Success: The Spread of Manchurian Plague and the Response of Japanese Colonial Rule in Korea, 1910-1911 BOOK REVIEW Andrew Eungi KIM / Korean Evangelical Women’s Conversion and Institutional Involvement: Negotiating with Religious Patriarchy Taking this opportunity, we would like to remind the list members that we welcome any submissions relevant to the field of Korean Studies.
