Maybe you can connect with some knowledgeable people in the USA. I'm thinking, for instance, of Dr He Young Kimm who wrote a book on TKD history. You might be able to reach him through his website.

I tested 3 times under General Choi who was impressed at the skills I was taught from Mr Lee. At that point I was terrible to mediocre at all sports until I tried Tae Kwon Do. IN 5 and one half years (this was not a belt factory) at 16 I tested with great score's for my black belt in which I also received my first Dan that day. 3 year's later tested under General Choi at 19 for my second stripe. Today I still practice and hold a third Dan. Unfortunately there is no longer any information about the Oriental sports training center in New Haven or Milford Ct or anything about Mr Lee. Why did it just disappear from the internet?

That battlefield ettquette was there so that certain combat engagements could progress nicely ... irrespective of if one of the knights lost their nerve just before. LOL. Everyone knew what to expect, would be cheering the hapless knight or knights on, and they'd be compelled to get it on.

Etiquette, in a martial sense, trains the practitioner to do what is right according to the situation. Extrapolating tactically, it ensures the practitioner engages properly according to the situation ... even if they are personally in disbelief or are in emotional distress. Additional etiquette like bowing at the entranceway to clear the mind, and bowing onto the mat, allows them to consistently 'get in the zone.' It's a perfect way to 'flip the script' and go from zero to 100 without hesitation. <br /><br />Good article, my friend. <br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />ColinColin Weehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015934158611114111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232825159765940340.post-27424002971625414062021-11-16T17:20:42.832+02:002021-11-16T17:20:42.832+02:00Don you still have it for sale?Don you still have it for sale?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02502903294605513387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232825159765940340.post-22780626632884862522021-07-25T02:56:03.906+02:002021-07-25T02:56:03.906+02:00Hey man, Josh Peacock from Combat Learning Podcast...Hey man, Josh Peacock from Combat Learning Podcast here.

Would MuSul then mean stopping violence via the physical way? Would MuYe mean stopping violence via an artistic or creative way? In other words, finding creative solutions to conflict, rather than just using violence. And, is MuDo then the method of stopping violence via a moral or spiritual path? <br /><br />I like the possibilities that such an interpretation presents.<br /><br />SooShimKwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864922377526465321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232825159765940340.post-70184332839324180252021-06-12T18:43:55.049+02:002021-06-12T18:43:55.049+02:00General Choi taught that a child less than 13, lac...General Choi taught that a child less than 13, lacked the maturity to understand the non physical attributes of his original Taekwon-Do. As such, they had to wear a half white and half black belt until they turned 13. ThirTEEN is when a child crosses the threshold from child to TEENager. The age of 13 has been a time honored age of transition for many cultures and religions throughout the world. <br />There are obvious differences among and between the new born, infants, toddlers, children, teens, adults and seniors. <br /><br />General Choi’s ITF TKD, under his established rules, allow a child to earn a Junior Black Belt at 9 years of age. However they MUST wear the appropriate ITF Jr. BB, described as exactly half white and half black until they turn 13. Once they turn 13, they can wear a full BB, with no additional test. The age 13, also marks the start of the minimum training time for 2nd Dan. Hence, a Jr. BB, can NOT earn the ability to test for a 2nd Dan until at least 14.5 years of age. <br /><br />Sadly some ITF groups don’t know this or ignore it. Some even have made the ridiculous notion to utilize a female JuDo black belt for their Juniors. A female JuDo BB is described as a black belt, with a white stripe down the middle. I often say that General Choi Hong-Hi must be turning over in his grave, knowing some of his disciples have utilized another Japanese martial art concept, after he worked tirelessly to distance his Taekwon-Do from the Japanese roots. Additionally, 1 of the 3 ITF orgs dropped the minimum BB age and did away with the 14.5 age requirement for 2nd Dan, as well as mandating their ill conceived Junior BB up to the age of 18. <br />(So much for the lingo of preserving General Choi’s legacy) <br />George Vitale - NYCGeorge Vitalehttp://www.historyoftaekwondo.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232825159765940340.post-39963125752866854252021-06-12T18:18:39.980+02:002021-06-12T18:18:39.980+02:00Dr. Lewis:

Kime refers to the end point of a movement when all the muscles of the body becomes taught or fixed. The Japanese term "kimeru" means fixed. Taekwon-Do, which evolved out of Shotokan also has kime. <br /><br />On the other hand, balgyeong (Chinese "fajin") refers not to the end point of the motion, but rather to the motion as a whole from start to finish, which is achieved through kinetic chaining. Modern ITF Taekwon-Do also employ balgyeong / kinetic chaining. <br /><br />Thanks for dropping by my blog. SooShimKwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864922377526465321noreply@blogger.com
