It used to be drag racing and the dogs but the dogs have turned into a 2nd & 3rd job.

Drag racing is expensive since the fuel prices have gone up so much but it is INCREDIBLY good advertising for

=======================================

Tae Kwon Do at our studio is about bringing people together for a united cause and betterment of all. Don't compare your self with others. Compare yourself with your last workout.

Tested for yellow or advanced yellow with General Choi on the panel back in 1970-something in Fayetteville at Leon Snearly's Power Company. I didn't know who it was at the time.

There were three (3) of us testing for 1-D and we were our instructor's first Black Belts.

Tae Kwon Do can be good if practiced with good form or bad for you when you do it wrong. Always seek qualified instruction and not just someone with a lot of stripes on belt. My instructor was only a 2-Dan and Duggan was a 4th.


Maintain the ability to learn from anyone.

I have learned things from junior white belts... "Turn 1/2 way for the first move and then step punch...turn all the way for the next (#3) move and step punch." Chon-Ji made easy.
The above statement took three weeks off of learning Chon-Ji, on average.

I learned from a Yellow belt lady that a lot of techniques are designed for use against equal size opponents and we may have to adjust entry techniques from time to time to compensate for it.

Don't be afraid to realize you don't know everything. I learned something very important from Junior the other day ( the little dude in the photo having a drink with me):
"Somedays its better to just stop and have a juice box."

===============================
Cup half empty or half full?

I like to landscape when I get a chance.

My squad buddy "quah" worked with D.E.A. and was/is/went to (?) Blackwater. Yes, THAT Blackwater. Hey Thomas. How's sunny Afganistan treating ya? Stop eating bugs off my backpack! They ain't gonna starve us..
Just out of curiosity, what do they taste like and will those green ones sting?

My other bud operates war games training ops.
Hey Duane.
We were all in C.A. together in KAIBIL school, El Inferno...

Drag racing is always a rush. She does the parachutes, straps me in and lines me up correctly on the track. Nanette also reminds me to turn on the pumps and computer recorder. Two up and one down! 140+ in an 1/8th mile and getting ready to go a lot faster this year.

==============================

The pups..Doberman Pinschers. We have quite a few Dobermans...three males one female pups and we have both parents. Bartlett's Sampson of the Hoytt line of Dobes and Madame Gypsi of Wild Acres of the Brunswig's Cryptonite line... AKC

Sampson will open your soda for ya so don't sit it down where he can get to it. He screws the lid off and drinks half, too.

Gypsi is very wel behaved and is very good at her commands...IN KOREAN. Choon-Be!

It's mine. Come visit on some Friday night. 7:00 is good for me. Just be warned, we punch to the head...pretty hard, too.

Side doors are for barfing... bathrooms are NOT. Plan to train hard when you come here.

If you break a nail..we will NOT call 911!

Our MMA Instructor is also 4/1 Marine Force Recon.

We are based in traditional Tae Kwon Do but sometimes it looks like Hapkido. We do kickboxing, some joint locks, some Sayoc-Silat, some kali, some Jiu-Jitsu, some...

I was MMA since the 80's, just didn't know everyone else wasn't. I just thought all schools trained the same. That's how we learned "traditional" Tae Kwon Do.

We also do the acrobatics that Century calls XMA. We won the Bluegrass Nationals (5A NASKA) with our team in 2005.

Now, what more could a person ask for? Come see why everyone is training at,,,, Karate World of Oklahoma, LLC. 918-422-5145
