  4. Moving On • We can take our memories and what we’ve learned from others and continue to pass it on. • People continue to live on when they live on in our hearts. • In the martial arts continuing the lessons that one teacher learned is continuing our lineage. • Part of being a traditional martial art like we are is continuing traditions of past instructors.

  5. Lessons Learned from Instructors • “Embrace the suck” • Focus • Keep a positive attitude. When the instructor criticize you, they aren’t being mean, they are helping you improve. • Chung Do Kwan Basics • How to spar in a more relaxed form. • How to remain motivated. • The forms I’ve learned throughout my years of martial arts training. • Awareness of surroundings. Respect of others & self. Humbleness. Choices. • Perseverance • Patience • There is always another level of pain.

  6. Lessons I’ve learned • Master LeBlanc – • “Practice of Perfection makes perfect” • “No superior martial art – but there are superior practitioners” • Short fighting stance for mobility, lead leg fighting • Adapt to situation – different rules for competition – no rules on street • Power and focus • Look at mid-chest in sparring

  7. Master Ron Squibb • Master Squibb • Always strive for excellence • “Put yourself there” for a block • Quick like a cat, or lightning • Had me work on my side-kick at brown belt level • See students improve their lives is more important than having students that excel at everything because they are naturally athletic. • “Buckets of sweat” from Master JB Chung • Pay attention to details • Always commit your time to teaching – 1 person there teach them do a good job, only you – practice yourself. • Always compete. • When teaching make sure you spend time to work on your own skills as well as teach. • Continue to advance in rank yourself, so your students will as well. • When testing – remember everyone wants you to do well.

  8. David Curtis • David Curtis • Brown belts – always working • 6-step drill • Help for jump in Yoon-Bee • Worked with him on his forms – especially Yoon-Bee • Give more than receive • Make sure you are worthy • Work hard even if you have limitations • Good friend to everyone

  9. Other Masters • Master Glass • Taught me Yoon Bee • Also learned Aikido and I followed in his footsteps that way. • Master Rebbernigg • PyungAhn Sa Dan grab – like an Eagle • Master Richardson • “Don’t honor your teacher by doing things exactly the same as they did – honor them by striving to be better, faster, stronger than they” • Judo integrated into Tae Kwon Do
