Jhoon Rhee was a pretty cool guy, He used to teach Presidents at one time, and also Congress IIRC. He used to be in just about every other MA Magaizine around.

I studies TKD back when I was a kid, But I mostly practiced JKD over the last 10-12 years. Heck You've seen me though, I'm Built more like Joe Lewis rather then Bruce , Ted, etc.

Quick on his feet, eh. Nah, we don't need him. At least not until I practice up a bit. Of the 6 kata's needed to qualify for the belt I wear I can perform only the first (Chun ji) and part of the second (Tan Gun). My stances, footwork, speed and endurance suck, and the techniques are more likely to injure me than any opponent. Thats why I'm looking into converting an unused room into a semi-private dijoo-exercise room.

Oh wow, I an recall Chun Ji, Wrist's too the Right side, left punch, Rotate, again punch, etc. Following Compass points I believe.

Man that's been along time ago.

BTW Secret Practice sessions are being planned on so we can all make that small trip to Las Vegas.

That's right, I forgot you where in Vegas. My In-laws lived there for along time, Like 22 years.

Seriously, If I can ever afford It, I'd love to make the trip back out there, esp. since the Borg invaded the Hilton.

That's why I remember it. (Don't look at my stances though. They are no longer automatic.) And don't tell the old form names to Jhoon Rhee's new students (international style) thy use the Olympic Tae guek katas. They don't use the same katas or the same rank system. (Blue belt? What's that? You made that up!)

You should see me eastbound on the 215, sofar I've gotten to 110 mph in moderate traffic...

And now that the head gaskets are being replaced on the T-Bird...

LOL, I can remember when all the Controversy over Belt testing was a big thing. alot of people Claimed It was just away to make more money for the Instructors. I have no idea if that's still the case or not these days, It's been along time ago, since I lloked at Rigid forms of MA.

Seriously though, I bet you could still do some damage if you had too.

hehe, ActiveX I wish I would have known you a few years back, We used to live in Knigman AZ.

As a matter of fact, the year we lived there, I used to always be asked, Why did you move to Kingman from Oklahoma?

after awhile, and to be left alone, I perfected the one word answer... "revenge"

Many Dojos are so commercialized now and altered to sports goals more than defense and spiritual development that I think the argument is mostlydead. Now advertisements in martial arts magazines offer a career in owning a dojo even if you do not know martial arts. (I actually saw this somewhere.) There are few good dojos, sifus, shidoshis or instructors left if this is true.

ActiveX · « **Reply #175 on:** March 12, 2004, 01:11:48 am »

I wont even be old enough to gamble or drink legally untill this November...

So a few years back I prolly wouldnt have known you anyway...

I was one of the first sifu's to actually do a Pay by day basis. No Contracts at all, as I had been raped with those growing up. every now and again, I'll get a call for a few Private lessons, But after the Necro crap, and my shoulder Being broke, It's been along time since i've been able to do any serious teaching.

I do have to admit this Conversation between us has Raised my old teaching Blood though.

Hehe, It would be funny If us old Fart Star Trek Fans decided to enter a tourney and win.

Heck ActiveX, Don't sweat, your just a few years younger then my step son. He's only 22 actually, So you would have been gold. as a matter of fact, Nathan was one of my student's and that's how I met his mother , my current wife.
