Should the Totally TKD Magazine forum stay or go?That is the question!The forum is underused, as other forums and moreso Facebook take precident, so should I just let the forum run (updates as bbefore would be slow coming, unless someone whats to become a moderator and take charge) or shall I delete it and simply use the facebook page for any magazine chatter? facebook page = www.facebook.com/Totally-Tae-Kwon-Do-Magazine#!/pages/Totally-Tae-Kwon-Do-Magazine/46855022073

I will "kick" things off (pun intended:p ) My favorite MA movie is original drunken master (1978) with Jackie Chan. I love the movie because it contains great quotes throughout (in the english dubbed version), legendary training scenes and awsome fight scenes. Best of the Best.. of course. And the 36th Chamber films.. use to love them. Stuart

while it is quite true that this is an individual choice--some people prefer the sport, some just aerobics with a kick, to me this denies true subtlety and depth. in other words, if you like to just punch and kick that is fine, but realize that you are keeping the art on a very simplistic level. there is so much more to it Imagine if that choice wasnt there.. the problem with 'the choice' is that many are too content to stick to the simple things.. moreso with high up masters! Indeed. I know that I started up TKD for both the 'martial' and the 'art'.. I didnt even know there was a sport side then. And though the sport side was interesting and enjoyable (and I did okay), I find what i do now, so much more interesting and rewarding. Stuart

We have so many techniques that most are not used, even sometimes. So even the face value of most techniques isn't used, let alone the many possible hidden applications of each. Thats a good point.. but it is also true to say many arnt used used because the 'face value' application is seen as useless (or next to).. Take standard blocking for instance.. most taught to stop hand/foot strikes at face value.. but when was the last time you saw anyone execute a mid block in sparring!! If at all! IMO.. by changing the focus of a block to an SD application, they become much more applicable, interesting and viable! Oh yeah! As the main chapters of my next book are dont, I think its safe to reveal that is basically the main apps I have for the technqiues you mention. in fact, many of the 'palm to elbow' type technqiues are trapping applications.

of the many Toni Annesi informative (and entertaining) seminars and workshops i have attended, he has strangely never recruited me to act as his literary agent. i guess then (since i can't make a buck on it) that you are free to use the ascribed quote. i love it because it says so much in so few words. you are correct that Uke is "reception". an overlooked concept in that it does not imply how you are to "receive" it. something that i will amplify in a future submission to your magazine with regard to the knife hand. Opps.. I meant Uke not Barai (which AFAIA means sweep or sweeping motion right?). LOL.. at your deep and meaningful explanation about the quote.. a simple 'why not' would have been just as good, but not as much fun to read ;D Stuart

i as Sensei Annesi once stated "a lock is a block is a blow is a throw" Ohhh.. I like that.. can I (possibly) use it as a quote in my next book? (Is that Sensei Tony Annesi btw?) Stuart

Besides which, the Okinawan term for block (Barai) was (possibly purposly) misinterpreted as "block".. when in fact it means "To Receive" - that should be a big clue!
Please correct if my Japanese terminology is wrong!

What do people think about the techniques of Taekwon-Do and Taekwondo? Are they face value - a punch is a punch? Or are there hidden applications - a punch can be a lock? Both? Do I really need to post where I stand on the issue? Stuart
