Thank you for moving this to the proper forum. I apologize for misplacing it in the book store. Anyway, I wanted to list some of the topics covered in my book for everyone.

This forward was written by a prominent Korean Martial Artist and I'd like to share it.

I have just completed by book, "The Lost Art of Tang Soo Do" and would like to announce it on this website for those who are interested.
You can find copies of this book below...

There is a thread on MT started by a guy who brought up the exact same claims that are being circulated in this e-mail. I would suggest contacting Bob Hubbard (Admin from MT) because I'm sure he...
Too bad you are way down in Mankato. I'm up here in the Twin Ports, Duluth/Superior. Will you be traveling about MN during your time here?
This video is a must see for everyone who is trying to understand the movements of Bassai Dai, IMHO.

The attacker and...
I would like to start a thread about the applications for Passai kata. I know there are several versions so as long as people let other know which they practice and what moves they are talking...
Well, there is always this...

My teacher made the snake link also. I'm not sure where this comes from, because I've only ever heard it in TSD circles...
I train in TSD and I read the same thing. After reading this thread, I am very skeptical that this information is in any way correct. Perhaps this information traces the roots of Bassai from...
I've used the TKD stuff before and it, IMO, is not built for real full contact. It could have been the brand that we were using, so my experience may not include what you have used. Does Tiger Claw...
I'm not totally sure what brand it was, but it looked like some of the newer gear that has been posted in pics on the other thread. I'd like to learn more about different brands...like which ones...
One of the things that I noticed is that I fell back on the most basic techniques to defend myself. I basically used five or six different attacks. Front, Side, and Round kicks and jab, cross, and...
Oh wow, that is extensive. Thanks for the link. I tried this type of sparring just recently and it really opened my eyes. What I thought was full contact wasn't.
The last seminar was at Sensei Mike Cline's dojo in Moorhead, MN. Since he is the highest ranking student in MN that I know of, I would expect that he would know something? His website is...

1. What is the Korean term for this?
2. Do you do it at your dojo?
3. What are the rules?
4. What rank is it introduced?
5. What are some pros and cons that you have seen?
6. Where can I find...
The next time that Mr. Oyata is in my area my teacher and I are planning on attending the seminar...if there is one and it is open to the public.
I'm not looking for detailed instruction. I just...
My family has the pleasure of hosting a student from Japan...and I am further gifted by the fact that she has earned a shodan in karate...so we share similar interests. However, we have a large...
What is the difference between Tomari, Naha, and Shuri Okinawan Te systems? I don't know very much about Okinawan arts and I would like to try and get a feeling for what is out there.
I want to go to the source to get some training in tuite and kyusho. I practice Tang Soo Do and we practice many of the same forms. My goal is to take this knowledge home with me and deepen my...
This is what I hear and I would like to get a few more details before I commit to driving four hours one way to get some instruction. Thanks for the links...
Thank you, sir...

Thank you for the correction, sir. Have you met him?
My teacher had the opportunity to train with Dr. Dale Schwerdtvecker (sp?) for an extended period of time and Dr. Schwerdtvecker has made a few appearences at our dojang in the past. I really liked...
I have a book that Mr. Dillman wrote with Chris Thomas about kyusho jitsu and I have been informed that Mr. Oyata's work is greatly different from what is presented. I would like to discuss the...
