i see someone brought up breaking in the GEN MA section so i thought i would bring this thread to today's active topics.

niether does a heavy bag but we use those........ (see the breaking thread in the taekwondo section).........

i feel the instructor and higher belts should have control and teach you to be a better fighter by example..but not use you as a punching bag till you achieve more experience. then you are more of a challenge,

welcome BYGDAUG to this forum, anthing is possible, so give it a try........good luck with your training........

BREAK A LEG AND DON'T BUMP INTO THE FURNITURE............good luck and have some fun SUBMISSIONFIGHTER.......drink a lot of tea for your throat...........

welcome to this forum KAJUGANSTA........

KICKCHICK...........i thought that was you next door but wasn't sure.....next time i'll try to keep it to a low roar......(lol)

thanks for the info pat....queston do you think i should hide my info?.....i dont know computers and wouldn't know what to do if that happened to me....what do you say?..can you help?

TAEZEE...i've been in the same situation a few yeas ago...it's strange how you get those ambivalent emotions of how your glad it's not you but sad it's them...so in my case i came to the conclusion that i must live and enjoy my life for them and that they will watch over me and give me guidence in return.(hard to put in words) sorry for your lost.

are there any other folks who came from a yahoo club. (with a karateforums link) .....

sometime it's just simple coordination some people have a hard time with the mechanics of jumping. try this simple exercise. lift one knee up jump off the floor with the foot on the floor and land on the other foot.. remember to use your arms for balance and coordination

never thought of it that way KARATERONIN.....thanks for the info...(lol)

i would like to recommend that you look through all the subjects before starting a new one.........you'll find my response in the other thread that thaiboxerken suggested. just my opinion.....

you ladies have great views.......you also make good reading......thanks for the humor.

BABY is probably thinking.....GUYS HUH ...by giving us that face.

yes i see the H&F MODS have there hands full here...........nice to see and good luck MODS........

i have trained in hapkido in HAWAII and in TEXAS and currently hold a 1st dan in hapkido. i am a member of the TEXAS HAPKIDO ASSOCIATION ( MASTER JOHN M. SO). currently there is no hapkido schools or clubs close to my area that i know of, so i'm currently assiting TKD at a comminity center here in south florida. we look forward to your views and insight here. humble regards with a bow

welcome hapkidodude; glad to see you found your way to the korean/taekwondo/hapkido section.........happy posting....... please review this section for background on the other taekwondo/hapkido members.

welcome SUPERKICKER to this forum.......

yes....so sad....so much talent...........so young............so beautiful........another reason to tell your loved one that you love them and to treat others with kindness. may she rest in peace

here are some other responses to the question " what makes a black belt"....just wanted to bring this older thread to light....you'll find my response in this thread.

DISCIPLINES OF TAEKWONDO: POOMSE..................forms/style HOSINSUL................self defense GYORUGI..................sparring KYEPKA.....................breaking JOO CHOOM JHASE..................horse stance

the incident mentioned above is a sign that the child or children involved do not have the maturity level to hold that distinquished rank....my point being that a true mature black belt would have just waited their turn instead of ordering others to move out of their way to register, instead of so called "pulling rank"....please ...........

good point thaiken.... keep moving and as long as you don't stand still waiting to respond to your opponent..........

also as i have said in a prior post.....the cane also gives an apearance of an affliction or injury giving it's bearer an advantage....it is also one of hapkido's specialized wepons.
