We missed you Ray and hope to see you at the next one. A special thanks to GM West for his HapKiDo black belt class. No matter how long I study HapKiDo he continues to teach techniques with a different twist (pun intended) or nuance that makes me realize I need to stay on the mat because I've only begun to scratch the surface of the art of HapKiDo.

The championships are expected to show the world a new image of takwondo, as they will feature electronic body protectors, an instant video replay system and a new scoring system, under a revised WTF Competition Rules. The 2009 WTF World Taekwondo Championships in October will be a milestone in the history of the sport, which is now assured a place in the 2016 Olympic Games. The championships, scheduled for Oct. 14-18 in Copenhagen, Denmark, will herald a new era of fairer and more transparent competition, greater appeal for spectators and commitment to the Olympic values. A number of measures taken as a result of five years of reform by the sport's governing body, the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), will ensure the championships are the most successful ever and aid taekwondo's development. President Chungwon Choue, who has driven continuous change and innovation since his election in 2004, stresses that taekwondo must continue evolving as an Olympic sport. "The sport must be exciting and the judging scrupulously fair. This is the philosophy that underlines our continuous efforts to modernize," he said. "It's why we have changed the competition rules and introduced new elements such as an instant video replay system and electronic protectors. President Choue also emphasizes the importance of making taekwondo appealing to young people. "We strongly support the Youth Olympic Games. Taekwondo goes beyond being a sport: it has a noble mission as a tool for youth education and a powerful force for peace," he added. Key points of the modernization: - Improved fairness and transparency of judging New competition rules mean competitors wear electronic body protectors which register points scored. Instant video replays of matches allow judges to make impartial decisions in order to avoid controversial incidents. Both innovations have had extensive trials at previous international competitions. Referees have undergone improved training and selection procedures. - More dynamic and exciting competition The competition area is smaller, keeping the competitors closer together. A new scoring system encourages greater use of advanced technique, such as turning kicks, kicks to the head and 'come from behind' victories. Passive competitors are penalized and matches shorter, enhancing spectator entertainment. - Increasingly universal appeal The development of a non-contact version (poomsae) alongside the traditional sparring version (kyorugi) has widened appeal to all ages and fitness levels. It is estimated that over 70 million people worldwide are taekwondo practitioners. Disabled practitioners are actively encouraged. Great importance is given to women's participation including welcoming Muslim women wearing the hijab. The WTF Taekwondo Peace Corps has taken the sport and its Olympic values to developing countries. - Global expansion The WTF has a global membership of 189 countries and is striving to increase this to more than 200. It has expanded its office in Lausanne to complement its headquarters in Seoul, which will enhance the potential for marketing, international relations and communications. --__--__-- Message: 6 From: Bert Edens To: "the_dojang@martialartsresource.net" Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:27:59 -0500 Subject: [The_Dojang] Looking for a school in Kansas City / Blue Springs, MO area Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Greetings, all... I have a friend looking for a school for his soon-to-be five year old. I have discussed with him about styles, and he understands the instructor is more important than the style, especially at this age. So if anyone has any suggestions about some good instructors in that area, especially for a Little Ninja-aged beginner, I would appreciate it. As a side note, Action Martial Arts Academy (http://www.actionmartialartsacademy.com) caught his eye, based on what he's looked at, and I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the school and chief instructor (Master Cindi Rulon). Thanks in advance for everyone's time! *bows* - Bert Edens --__--__-- Message: 7 From: A4d7901@aol.com Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:02:31 EDT To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Re: TKD poomse Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I am trying to find any info that I can about the WTF competition poomse.
