Hi all,
I'm new to this forum as well (I know, shocking in this thread ;p).
A little history I suppose.
I started Taekwondo in 85 in the WTA, left that instructor and joined a school across town that was ATA. The school had just switched out of the old forms into the brand new Songahm forms, so the students knew the same forms I did, and were learning the same ones that were new to me etc.
I'm now 4th in ATA. Along the way I studied a year or so of Kung-Fu, a year of Tai Chi, pretty much constant Largo Mano Escrima, a few intense months of Wing Chun, and bits here and there. Primarily though, I'm a Taekwondo kicker.
Anyway, I found the forum while doing a google search. I've been trying to research the ATA's link back to the kwans, realizing that HU Lee studied under GM Uhm, and GM Sun of CDK, but that his military time must have been ODK (as they recognized CDK rank only).
So here I am ;D.
Ps. I'm kind of a goofball.
