howdy all and happy posting........

nice to see you back.....good luck in you quest......

thanks for your replys.........i see you guys have done your homework by reviewing the above responses............. CHANGWUJI........thanks for your respectfull insight.......... NEILOO92...........all those things you mentioned are good but there is no substitute for sparring with a partner for timing...my suggestion is to start slow to regain your coordination and to work on combinations. then over time, speed up as those things return to you arsinal............

TAEZEE...this is the same version that i was taught........ .......this is a good title for our hapkido discussion.......

sometimes history is blurred by time....... until other hapkido people arrive we'll have to hold down that fort..........

even on television the those giant earth movers are the size of tonka trucks next to the rubble of the world trade centers......

i hope we can keep HAPKIDO that way.......and not the way of TKD has gone.........

cheon ma ne yo... my freind.......

CHRIS FROM CT.... AIKIDO is a japanese martial art often confused with hapkido due to it's similar name and oriental origins. aikido was delveloped as a non-violent method of defense stressing non-resistance, joint manipulation, and the study of ki energy. HAPKIDO is the way of coordinated power. non-competitive korean martial art which stresses non-resistance, circular motion, and a strong kicking and striking techniques.

well; were all learning here.......so is it? taekwondo hak saeung or hak saeung taekwondo ...just to get it right. what do you think?

well here's a start for you..........nice bright green belt you have here, my friend..........congrats TAEZEE................

thanks TAEZEE for backing me up on this........

STRIKER.....very nice of you to introduce yourself to us.....a warm welcome and we look forward to your input, views, and insights at karate forums............

too true KICKCHICK............ i have the same problem of being so called too nice...but i have not given up (and i'm a little older) because someone out there wants a nice guy and not the bad boy types that seems to always get the ladies..............remember GOLDDRAGON.......being nice is not a curse but a blessing.................. ....if you really want true love it's well worth waiting for. patience is admirable trait........ _________________ rushman (taekwondo moderator) 3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon [ This Message was edited by: iamrushman on 2001-10-10 15:23 ]

excellent idea and good to know.........so let me get this straight.......... if i want to buy a MA book.... i come here and click on one of these site and order it..and a percentage goes to karate forums?............correct me if i'm wrong!..........

welcome and happy posting.............

here's a CODE OF ETHICS AND VIRTURES that i came across in my studies: LOYALTY TO FAMILY AND COUNTRY. TRUST AND FELLOWSHIP AMONG FRIENDS. COURAGE AND WISDOM IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY. DO NO HARM WITHOUT JUST CAUSE. just thought i would share this.............

we have been using patience in the past........this is the second time the world trade centers have been bombed by this mastermind of terror..........so now is the time for them all (bin loudin's followers) to pay for this attack on the free world.......... to terrorist! long live the free world! _________________ rushman (taekwondo moderator) 3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon [ This Message was edited by: iamrushman on 2001-10-09 20:48 ]
