Okinawa Karate-Do Michael Norvell is the instructor. He is located here 5619 Pershing Ave St. Louis, MO. If you go there tell him Jeremy...
Under the Black Umbrella by Hilda Kang Anything from JayHyun Kim Haboush I have several of the books that you have mentioned. I really like the...
There are a lot of factors that go into this, not just the style. First and foremost, market demand will drive pricing. More times than not if...
They are not revolutionary but I personally like them. If you friend has a lot of experience in stick fighting I do not believe he will get a lot...
But you have not seen their style of fighting. All you have seen is their style of demo. It is a safe bet that they know better than to try and...
How? They are practicing inside their own school? Are you saying that if they were doing traditional poomsae, then this video would be ok or if...
This is not entirely correct. First off the two schools that faltered from joining, but latere rejoined was the Jidokwan and Moodukkwan, the...
As easy as it is for everyone to ask you to just solicit another school for your services, many schools do not just hire off the street. Plus you...
You will not see any mention of it in the MYDBTJ. That book dealt with weapons that were used for military combat. So outside of the kwonbup,...
I have the stick fighting book by Echanis. While he was at one point a student of GM Lee's I do not believe these techniques were directly from...
Well there you go. You have your style. As you can see by my list of forms, we have have a mixture as well. We have both Okinawa karate and KKW...
Sounds a lot like you just do Shotokan. We do the following: Taikyoko 1-3 Taeguk 1-8 Taichi Gedan Wansu Gyakusei Anaku Empisho Basadai...
I do not feel, for the most part that exams are a scam. You have to look at it from a different perspective. If the instructor makes their...
We can't help it Steve...You are just too damn huggable.
[/COLOR] I wanted to add just a little something here so that that there are no misunderstandings. When the term "non-standard instructor" is...
It had nothing to do with you, just the topic. I really would not have cared who started it, but it was no longer relevant to the topic it was...
Are you serious about this statement? Where have your learned your TKD?
Have the admins split this off into a different thread. The conversation is starting to drift waaaaaaaay far away from the actual topic of this...
Even the most conditioned athlete can suffer from sprains, tears and dislocations. That is just the risk. I would not jump to the conclusion...
Actually I am sure Gnarlie would ask it that way. What if all you knew was incorrect? For a long time many people were brought up to believe...
Actually no. When writing Korean words in English there is a distinct set of rules in translating. Kwae and Gwae are not the same thing. Not to...
Are you saying that the WTF was developed so that they could separate ITF from KKW TKD? If so, then you have been misinformed. Then perhaps you...
Successful cross pollination is always a good thing. :)
I see. Yes, the Palgwe forms still had strong ties to the Shotokan forms.
That would be because the Pyung-ahns were based off of Heinans. If I remember correctly GM Hwang Ki interpreted them from a book and the worked...
Agreed
To say it is just Shotokan karate actually leaves out other influences. You have Chuan'fa, Shudokan (which are verified), and taekkyon (not...
I think I see where you are coming from but let me try to say it in another way and let me know if I am correct in my interpretation. What TKD is...
Korea, unlike China was a bit more consistent in its geography which is mostly mountainous. Plus, again, there was very little in the ways of a...
True, it may have just been his own fighting concepts. Again, for the record, I am not dismissing that family training did not happen in Korea....
