Welcome

This blog will be helpful to practitioners of Tae Kwon Do who may appreciate some guidance in their individual practice.

Reality Itself?

I found in my travels throughout the ‘world’ that there were those martial artists who simply practiced out of a deep intuitive sense, yet they had not anchored into classes with a teacher for any real length of time or not at all perhaps. Some ideas of a regimen to enhance the practice of such practitioners might be useful.

The plans for this blog are already in the formative stage. My idea is to create better martial artists out those who are already practiced and maybe even proficient in karate. With some pointers and solid ideas from me as to how to practice many readers here may benefit. The most precious students must also be mentioned, and they are the total beginners.

Practice in nature.

Before developing this blog on my own, I would be interested to hear any requests or questions in particular regarding how best to practice karate. Any such inquiries could have a great effect on the directions taken in this blog. This blog should honor my basic goal: to enliven and to inspire. Many new dimensions of possibilities are in the offing here. I can envision giving a personal guidance to practitioners who may need to be corrected or taught at the fundamental level something about a given technique. Feel free to browse the entire website and relay any question or questions you may have to me here. Not only will I answer it either personally or with a blog theme or topic, I will make certain that the one who questioned becomes informed.

For instance, let us say you are a beginner and are studying from Mr. Son’s book, Korean Karate: The Art of Tae Kwon Do. If there is anything you do not fully grasp as you learn to practice, send me the question by email. I will be certain to give you the instruction you need on that question.

This blog could turn into a nice project. You readers have the power to influence it. I do want to hear from you. Later on in its development there will be demonstration videos available for you.

Let us see what is the way here.
