Well here we are in another New Year with resolutions and a positive outlook for training and great sportmanship thoughout the TKD world. We all know deep down inside we have a common bound that can never ever be broken because of the Tenets we all follow. I expect this year to be full of happiness and well being for all, but then I wake up in a cold sweat trying to understand that this is 2010 and all that good will and sportmanship is nowhere to be found, that is right the Tenets we all love is a joke at best. Integrity is all but gone, Courtesy went to the Bahama's and it is sitting in the bottom of a glass, preseverance is down to training only two days a week and not on the night that has American Idol, Self Control was with you until you sat in the chair to coach one of your players and then forget about it,Indomitable Spirit is in the bottom of a Whiskey bottle. What I am trying to say is every year we make resolution knowing that withen a few months they are gone and forgotten. We train to better ourself both physically and emotionally but do we evr train to be a better person and to walk with our heads held high and remember to say I am wrong and can you forgive me.
I have been reading what is going on between the MAC and USAT the battle over revenue sharing and why the USAT is ripping off MAC or is it the other way. This battle brings so much hardship to TKD and the growth but none of these so called GrandMasters and Bigwigs care what damage is being done by swinging alligation toward the other. We just started the USAT because of this very reason money, greed and control of power, we are forever going to be seen as those greedy bastards in TKD. When will those GM and higher ups remember it is about the athletes and the betterment of TKD that is more important, when will we come together with a front that will build and promote the finner quality of the Art and the sport? When can I go to bed and have a dream about the Art I love and not wake up to this prity brickering between these high figure? The answer we all know is never, this is not just a TKD problem but a problem with all sports and MA around the world. We are dammed for life and so is all of our students.
In closing I would like to say that tomorrow will only bring more hardship to the stage of competition. Best of luck TKD. :asian:
