    TKDs roots go back to Shotokan Karate. Funakoshi was teaching yoko geri long before he ever taught yoko geri to General Choi. I agree with your post.

    Famous Warriors and Famous non Warriors

    I agree that Biden can't do much, but complain during the lame duck. There will be no miraculous change Jan 20, but there will be improvement. It is Biden's number one priority, therefore more resources will be given to fight covid. He will not act like he knows everything about covid...

    The Goal is to keep the numbers down, so we do not over run the hospitals. When the hospitals are full, covid and non covid patients can not be cared for properly and people die. There is a limited number of Doctors and nurses, they can only work so many 16 hour days.
