Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum.

You are worth exactly: $1,577,650.00.

I came out Gimli.

It should be part of everyones learning experience.

Welcome to the forum.

It is a cultural thing. I don't know that we as westerners ever loose it.

You neglected to mention where you where from but pretty much count on carrying them being illegal.

I wondered when someone would bring that up. At least you got home in one piece. I live in a building with an inferior hot water system. We spent three days last weekend without hot water. We are all so dependent on electricity and hot water it is a bit scary without them.

Welcome to the forum.

I think the worst part was not having hot water for three days last weekend.

Actually there is a lot of similarity in many of the forms that tae kwan do and karate stylists do.

Welcome to the forum.

Nice work.

I have had about a month of those days and have to admit I am getting tired of them.

And someone thought you had left the forum.

We all have those nights I think.

There are many that feel the way that you do smr. However, the best answer we have is that we are practicing a Japanese art and we have accepted some of their custom as part of it. They do not consider bowing as a part of a religious ceremony. They see it as a sign of respect. It is done in businesses as well as the dojo. In many ways it is their equivalent of the handshake. And the bow upon entering the dojo is the equivalent of the old practice of removing ones hat when indoors.

Most people don't do it intentionally they do it when trying to tie their belt and it comes out incorrectly.

We genuflect before we enter the pew. And we bow when we pass before the blessed sacrament.

As for different ranks doing the same drill - look around and make sure the upper ranks look better when they do them. That is really pretty standard.

Chances are if your heel kick is weak some of your other kicks are not being pulled back with a good snap as well.
