hey, i just wanted to say that i am a assistant instructer for the art of TANG SOO DO, so if you need any help or have a question just send me a message

Excuse me Ms. KILL JILL it says that you are in South Korea, I am going to South Korea next year for the world championship of Haidong Gumdo i was wondering if you are too, or if you know anything about it.... thanks (sorry to get off subject)

I live in South Carolina but i teach in North Carolina, and i will honestly say that there are about 10 karate schools in about a 100 mile radious. so if you lived here you would agree, that is a pritty low number....

actually i can remember the first time i sparred with my Master, he did the same thing that i do now, he found out what type of person i am, when the fight (or slaughter) began, i went in all aggressive and tryed my hardest and he blocked all of them with ease (like i expected) and then when i was tired he then gave me a back wheel kick to my face! i thing he didnt meen to, actually i think i walked into it, but as soon as that happened, he stopped and said..."OH, haha, are you ok?" and i laughed and bowed and said "im fine, im fine sir," and we continued. i think right then, i knew that my master gained alot of respect for me and now i am black belt and his assistant instructor. (and he still beats me up everyonce in a while, but it makes me soo much better)

I think that the most popular thing to do (and is also what i do) is when sparring a white belt, or low belt you find what type of person they really are and if they are going to stay in Martial Arts. Usally the real real aggressive white belts are too cocky, or actually trying hard and having fun, that is usally the main two. so i keep my respect and punish the cocky ones but in a respective manor, meaning trying to show them what they do wrong and also prooving that they arent that good as they think they are. thus, they loose that attitude.... that method has worked many times and people actually thank me for being so rough on them, because it makes them so so much better in the future..

Hello sir, I would first like to know where are you located. the reason for that is because i am a assiastant Haidong GUMDO instructor in the North Carolina area. If you have any questions you can send me a message... ( I know all color belt forms and the first couple of black belt forms)

In my karate school, i cant leave even if i wanted to... its just too much of a part of me now, i am there 2PM-9PM every day and even if im not in the mood, i still do it because if i dont then i feel bad when i go home, so then i just train harder the next day to make up for it. but in all i think i have missed 10 days in the past 3 years...

If there is anyone in the North Carolina or South Carolina area in here then send me a message...i would like to here some info about your art... so please send me a message

haha thats a good one, im gonna use that..lol

(japanese swords) 2 japanses katanas 1 wakazashi 1 tanto ---- (korean swords) 2 saigomes 1 mokgome 1 kagome ---- nun chucks (1pair) bo (1) ---- many wooden swords many bamboo swords

yeah i can see, lol, they do tend to take it very seriously. for now on Ill just use the word "4th" or "5th dan" or "experienced person" lol....

No one knew that my dads friend was a karate master and NO you are not allowed to carry nun chucks around that part even suprised my dad, but.....after all that was over both my dad and his friend were fired for too much violence....the bars name was, The Tap Room, In Detroit Michigan where i used to live.........

thanks everyone for telling me your crazy stories, I can tell that you guys are more wise then to do some of the crazy things that those masters did in my story.. haha thanks alot guys, keep posting if you know anymore stories

my dad was a bouncer in a bar in michigan, and his friend was a karate master. They were sitting around and these drunk guys starting harrassing a girl there, so my dad start messing them up and one of the guys pulled a knife on my dad so my dads friend pulled nun-chucks out of his sock and took all of them out in less than 2 swings...hahaha

has anyone seen two masters fight? ( Sparring or out of anger) Two 5 degrees got in a fight at one of my tang soo do tournments a long time ago.......if you are wondering my master, that is a 8th degree had to break it up and yelled at them both extremely bad...haha i was only green belt but that was such an experience for me......you guys tell me some stories...........

Tang Soo Do....its alot like TKD Also, Haidong Gumdo....Sword Art Last, Kendo....Sword Sparring Art If you guys have any questions....Dont be afraid to ask!

my fav. weapon is the korean sword... it is a little longer then a katana. its about 41 inches overall. (two handed blade) other than that, my second fav. would be the bare nuckles!

NO WAY!!! what is your name?? I am from charlotte also!! hahah this is rare..

does anyone take haidong gumdo? if so, where because I am an as. instructer and i would like to know where the other schools are in the world.....

if you win the world championship in Korea,( that is every 2 years) yes, you are then considered a Samurang...i dont know about the japanese because im not....i go to korea to achieve that goal in july of 2006.... if you want any info conserning haidong gumdo send me a message thank you for your time

yes I see, I respect the japanese sword very, the art that you take what is the name of it? IF you do take japanese sword art, are you considered a Samuari? Koreans consider themselves Samurang....ancient warriors..i will have to win the world championship in korea 2006.. to achieve the rank Samurang..

I am a kendo instructer, i am also a cho-dan in the korean art of the sword, haidong gumdo, believe me, kendo is very hard and tireing. BUT if you want to be good at it, you can, just never give up, never.. bumps and brusses will go away, but honar stays forever.........thanks for your time

This is to anyone out there that is in Haidong Gumdo, and/or Tang soo do. Myself, I am a first degree in both arts, I am from Charlotte Nc, if anyone has any questions just right back.... [/b]TANG SOO!!!
