as far as i am concerned this is an act of war against all western industralized countries and should not be taken lightly..............

congratulations and on to the next level for you..............

i can't belive the WORLD TRADE CENTERS ARE GONE.......how can they be built to crumble like that. WE AS AMERICANS MUST UNITE AS ONE TO RECOVER FROM THIS MASSIVE TRAGEDY. for those of you not from the united states; THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN AND SUPPORT.

i hope this message finds all who read it safe with thier families.........i am stunned at the hatred in mens hearts..to take innocent lives for an unjust cause. i personally abhor terrorism and all that it stands for .......... please stay safe and protect your families at all cost.. my heart goes out for all the lives lost today. to terrorism!!!! _________________ rushman (taekwondo moderator) 3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon [ This Message was edited by: iamrushman on 2001-09-11 15:57 ]

i agree with KICKCHICK....you never want to burn any bridges you may have to cross to get back..........of course; unless an army is after you..........

welcome GOLDDRAGON to our humble forum... we look forward to your insight and views on the martial arts and any other subject here............

thank you for the time and effort you put into your research and to give us such a detailed acount of this history........i enjoyed reading your essay. it was quite informitive, interesting and colorful. my only comment is..... i am sorry for the chinese's loss. however; thanks to china for the great gains for the western world.

what a wonderful quote KICKCHICK.. thank you so much..........

welcome BYRD12345 to this forum........of course i'm going to say that with enough practice and dedication any thing is possible............look at the one who started it all, BRUCE LEE.......little guy that was the big man when it came to the martial arts...........

i don't really know what your looking for.....but with me it's TAEKWONDO and HAPKIDO.....both are korean and compliment each other..........it's what i have always done and always will..........i have tried other arts but they don't seem to flow with me as these has...........

as they say....you always take something away from the tournys..better luck next time.........put ice on it for now............

kudos to the group and keep up the good work people..........

the best of luck to you on your yellow belt test.........remember to stay loose, hands up, and your kicks high.................. _________________ rushman (taekwondo moderator) 3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon [ This Message was edited by: iamrushman on 2001-09-09 13:07 ]

i thought that for my 1000th post in this great forum i would make it here in my introduction. sort of a type of time stamp or time capsule if you will. i became a member at karate forums june of 2001 just a couple of month ago and have enjoyed every minute of it....i am by no means leaving but wanted to take this time to say that i really enjoy this site and all the friendships i have made so far and will make in the future. thank you all for your patience and courtesy, and i hope this relationship can go on for a long time to be. thank you for allowing me to be part of this great forum. thank you all for your insights and views on the martial arts. i have learned and will continue to learn from all of you. A HUMBLE THANK YOU FROM A HUMBLE MAN....... _________________ rushman (taekwondo moderator) 3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon [ This Message was edited by: iamrushman on 2001-09-07 20:29 ]

i used to watch billy blanks and nasty anderson go at all the time with the bud team........ ..of course now you call it back in the day.......

pitiful state of affairs we live in now........my sentiments exactly...........

my condolences to CHAD DISTEFANO'S family...it is always a sad lost when someone passes that is so young. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.......

interesting dilemma you have there KICKCHICK...........one other point.........watch out for what parents say about discipline because when it come to strict techniques they think something else...(like don't be so hard on them because there children)......
