Spookey Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Dear All, Some of the greatest fighter/instructors in the legacy of MODERN fighting must include some of the "unknown" RoK special forces TKD instructors! They are documented as being the most brutal and effective killing machines in Vietnam. They also have proven human (compassion) qualities making them very note worthy! I would like to make one of those men KNOWN today...Sgt. Major Kim Bo Kyum! He was the RoK Instructors Group Instructor stationed in Di-An from 1968-1970! Others of note are Kang Chung Man and Suh Jong Mook! They were all Master Instructors of Major General Choi Hong Hi and the Oh Do Kwan! Never Forgotten! Spookey TAEKWON!!! Do not defend against an attacker, but rather become the attacker...Destroy the enemy!TAEKWON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aefibird Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 My Shotokan sensei is someone who I have great respect for; he's someone who changed my life with his teaching. Thanks Graham!! Another influence are the senseis (Lou, Will, J.) at my aikido club who demonstrate incredible technique and also incredible patience with a fumbling beginner like myself... As for 'famous' martial artists, one person who has influenced me is Shihan Aidan Trimble (Aid, you rock!). Sensei Simon Oliver is also a great guy and I've learned a lot from him. Ditto for Sensei Ticky Donovan, whom I've only known for a short time but who has influenced my karate for the better. Of course, the two major influences on my martial arts are the Masters, Gichin Funakoshi Sensei and O'Sensei, Morihei Ueshiba. Without them there wouldn't be Shotokan or Aikido.

Ripper Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I cant go wrong with BruceYes, you can. I don't find Bruce that special; his films are even worse. He was just lucky to be in the right place at the right time. When I look at his movies half of the time the camera is so close you can't even see what he is doing. And that noise he always makes.... And in answer to the original question of this thread; none, because I don't think there are any 'masters'. That word has a meaning of someone being supernatural and no one is. There are however some people who are very good at their sport, like Shirai for example. And yes I don't say martial art either because that too has a meaning that makes more of it than it is. It is just a sport or hobby what we are doing. It is nothing special like the words MA make of it. René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natural Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Master that insperid me is the student of master that die use to own goju ryu move to England his 8th dan when he was a 5th dan he don't accept it from anyone except his master..... and also my sesei tony..... A karate punch it is like a dasvasted stick blow. Instead, a blow of Kung Was is comparable to a lash with a chain that has attacked, allaltra extremity one ball of ferro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been plenty of masters over the centuries of martial arts. Master has no supernatural implication whatsoever. They simply have put the time into trainning to master a style of karate. Miyagi sensei was not indestrucable he was just a man who took his art seriouly enough to pass it on to others, not just parts but every little detail. Having good karate is knowing one's self, having mastery is the harmony of one's mind and body Kisshu fushin oni te hotoke kokoro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kotegashiNeo Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Okay have you ever heard of O'sensei Tsuruoka. Anyway my uncle trainned under him and one time after class they when out for a beer. They ordered a beer when a very large unruly man began to throw out racial obsenities loud enough for the whole bar to hear. Then came up to O'sensei Tsuruoka and said you are in my chair to which he said nothing took a sip of his beer and moved over to the next stool. My uncle stood dumbfounded as he watched this man attempt to provoke a fight with no results what so ever. Each time O'sensei would move, this guy would tap him on the shoulder each time O'sensei would move, until he was at the end of the bar. At This point he put down his finished beer and left the bar. My uncle was amazed at at his sensei's restraint and the fact that he finished his beer before leaving hope that helped Kisshu fushin oni te hotoke kokoro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
