This is a good posting, I found your blog page browsing aol for a related subject and came to this. I couldnt discover to much additional information on this piece of writing, so it was nice to find this one. I definitely will be back again to look at some other posts that you have another time.

Depending on the story you hear about the art I study it was either started by a man of questionable morals and background who was a grade A pitchman, shameless self promoter and excellent martial artists (who studied a few styles in the East) or it was started by a man of questionable morals and background who was a shameless self promoter, grade A pitchman and a good martial artists who had even better martial artists train under him. I actually don’t really care either way…actually I think I prefer the more idealized origins. I think a good mythology is important.

I think we can all agree that the martial arts are fun.

The “we are both right” answer is what I came to conclude in my discussions. They also told me about the military grade Tae Kwon Do that looks nothing like the stuff you normally see.

Dude, your average kumdo guy looks nothing like the stuff the stuff the old-school Hwarang dudes were doing in Yi Duk-moo & Park Je-ga’s “Muye Dobo Tongji.” Furthermore, General Choi got a nidan from Funikoshi. My crazy ramblings were well-researched.

I suppose if you want to take couple more steps back, the Japanese people are descended from Korean colonists… so we’re both right?
