yes; this is something i don't like to share, but i feel you friends here can keep a secret. i have been in a few altercations (nothing i ever feel is a good thing). but anyway; once, i was jumped outside a bar when i was in AZ., this person hit me from behind while i was under the influence and trying to go home. now,i know being a taekwodoist you won't believe it but it was elbows and knees that sent me to jail and him to the dentist. i'm sure he's still having problems with his teeth now. in most street fighting situations it's not a face off but a cheap shot that gets it started. so you must be able to take it as well as dish it out. violence is the last resort and only to protect life and loved ones not ego.

very well put and an interesting way of making it understood........it is true and when the instructor walks around class counting and yelling, they don't have time to show there techniques. humm, maybe there drinking diet orange soda too.

NEIL0092...keep up your studies of the taekwondo poomses...as you advance you'll find more intense hand and blocking techniques to learn. the black belt forms are full of creative offensive and defensive hand techniques.

no sweat JACK..as with everything in life you will recover. happy posting

due to the intensity in the reponses to the topic "doubts in taekwondo". it has been deleted. so therefore, i would like to reintroduce this topic, as your personal views of taekwondo & other korean arts. thank you and your views are important to me.

sir, i asked a few of the members of a couple of clubs i participate in to come and join us in this forum.

yes your right! PS: you never know where and when help will come! _________________ rushman (taekwondo moderator) 3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon florida This Message was edited by: iamrushman on Jul 18, 2001 11:25pm

TAEZEE........welcome to this great and informitive forum. please do us a favor and go to the introduction section and toot your horn just once more for us. give us a history and background of your training and experencies. sorry, i know you feel the same way i do about tooting horns but i think just this once will be ok. (lol) thank you and welcome.

yes TAEZEE...i have a hard time tooting my own horn also...but to tell the truth i love demos for the same reason as you......... welcome to this forum. humble respects with a bow

what is it with you guys? the man asked a perfectly legitimate question and you respond with these statements. please reconsider your thoughts.

very interesting....i'm glad all turn out for the better.....this will be a great story to tell your children..........becarful and stay safe.......always check identification so if theres a problem you'll know who to report.

yes, i agree, must we continue with this..i'm sure there are other more pleasant topics.

ok sure, but you first KEN..these are not the type of answers i'm looking for ..but thanks for the idea.

ok short dog..maybe you need your own special section for your JU-JETSU. _________________ rushman (taekwondo moderator) 3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon florida This Message was edited by: iamrushman on Jul 17, 2001 10:50pm

sounds like a good idea.........there are several MT practioners here to start a forum.

KICKBUTT..your a great inspiration.and have a good outlook. ...good for you and keep it up.

very nice.........i like the Geo metro thing; i must try that.

KINKY...thats the type of positive information i like to hear......funny how your perspective changes when your the instructor...wow 5 years and you have your own school....good luck and best wishes.

now i know some of you will want to say breaking bones or heads are your favorite but those are not the answers i'm looking for. here are some of my experences: 3 concrete slabs without spacers with a hammer fist for my 3rd dan cert. 3 pine boards each with a dual reverse punch and 3 pine board each with a jumping dual front kick simultaneousy for a demonstration. 5 pine boards with a flying side kick over 10 kneeling students for a demonstration. i would really like to hear of your experences with these types of breaking techniques. _________________ rushman (taekwondo moderator) 3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon florida This Message was edited by: iamrushman on Jul 17, 2001 8:17pm

i was watching the ISKA breaking championships on espn tonight and it brought this question to mind. does any students or instructors here allow and/or practice breaking techniques in your schools? if so, what are your favorite techniques? what are you best breaks?

howdy ANGUS...nice to see you

WELCOME ODIN..........very interesting reading and concepts in your thesis.....thank you for your input and sharing your knowledge with us..........i hope you will share more of your views here as they relate to the far eastern and western outlooks we have. would you mind sharing some of your background with us? we would all like to more about you. humble respects with a bow

with the problems with children and parents these days, i hope ANGUS is just joking and really doesn't mean it.

come on ANGUS show yourself........i'm sure it's not as bad as you say
