2 - Totally Tae Kwon Do
As I write this I am preparing to go to
hospital with my son, who is due to have
his elbow pinned following a nasty fall from
the school climbing frame on Friday (its
now Wednesday) - he's only 7! Luckily the
instructors at my classes have been great
(as they always are) covering classes at
very short notice so I could do what a
parent should do and be there for my son,
so a big thank you to you all - its very much appreciated.
As either students or instructors of martial arts we have to have
a certain amount of responsibility, especially where children
are concerned. A week or so ago I got an email from some
martial arts related mailing list (which I don't think I even joined)
saying "a good example of why I don't teach sport karate" with
a link to a video clip! I clicked on it to watched it, thinking I'd
see some silly moves being pulled off or something, but it was
a clip of a guy being murdered - seriously!! It had no martial
arts content whatsoever, just two guys rolling on the floor (with
another close by), before one gets up and shoots the other! I
mean seriously! I emailed the guy back and told him to delete
me from his list, how irresponsible he was and that I hoped no
young children saw it!
I did get a reply but all it said was ‘Done’ - no apology or
anything! I mean, I`m pretty well interested in martial arts in
their guise for self defence but this was not only well over the
top, but also very irresponsible as these mailing lists either
gather names from forums and such like (in order to sell their
wares) or allow anyone ,of any age to sigh up - imagine if a 10
year old see’s that video!
I googled his name and found that apparently he’s ‘a living
legend’ and can ‘catch an arrow in his bare hands’ - it’s a
shame that he hasn't much common sense to go with those
amazing skills! His web site speaks all about self defence - but
who’s protecting the children against him!
This month we have a great issue for you, from another great
interview to articles on competition involving both body and
mind. Couple that with some nice reports and other useful and
insightful articles, many of which compliment each other
despite coming from different authors from different parts of the
worlds! It great to see more WTF forms applications and there I
was thinking Simon O’Neill was the only one interested in
pushing this side of the KKW/WTF, but you can expect more
from Richard Conceicao in future issues. Seriously, if there is
no article in this months edition that you
enjoy, I`ll give you your money back! :-)
All the best,
