<h4 style="text-align: left;"><o:p> <span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;">M</span>aster Joseph Sullins is a lifelong martial artist and a
Chayon- Ryu student since 1990. He has been fighting illnesses for more than
one decade. After a successful liver transplant in 2019 he is back training
Chayon- Ryu at the Headquarters Dojang under the guidance of Master Sean Kim
and Grandmaster Kim Soo. Master Sullins graciously accepted to sit with me to
talk about his martial arts life to the Chayon Ryu students.</h4>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Sabeom Alberto Borjas</b>: Master Sullins. First of all I am
very glad to see you back in training here at Dojang and I would like to thank
you for the opportunity of talking with you. Can you tell us about your martial
arts life?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When did you start training?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Master Joseph Sullins:</b> <i>First, I would like to thank the
Chayon- Ryu family for all the personal and financial support. Without it my
life would been rougher. Now I’m back training. Thank you!<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>I began training in 1964 in Shotokan Karate at Downtown
YMCA, Shreveport, La. I trained there until I went to College. After College I
trained under Master Moon in Irving, TX and under Master Kyu Bong Yim in
Dallas, TX. Those were sport oriented schools. Then I was transferred to
Houston. I had been looking for two years trying to find a school when I saw
the Chayon- Ryu headquarters and I pulled in. That was June 1990. I have been a
Chayon-Ryu student ever since.</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>SAB:</b> When did you receive your Black Belt?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MJS: </b><i>I received my Black Belt in 1994.</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>SAB:</b> <i>Master Sullins, can you talk to us about your
experiences in Chayon-Ryu?</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MJS: </b><i>I have always protected Chayon-Ryu everywhere I went. I
had a teaching opportunity at Camp Lejeune, which required proof of martial
arts experience. During my time at San Antonio School I had to prove the
Chayon-Ryu dominance.</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>SAB: </b>Have you experience any benefits from Chayon-Ryu
training?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MJS:</b> <i>I owe everything to Chayon-Ryu. It has taught me
control and calmness. I use my Chayon-Ryu skills on a daily basis. Chayon- Ryu
gave me the strength to fight and beat 14 years of illnesses. Because of my
knowledge of Chayon-Ryu principles I could go to train to any martial art
school. I do recommend Chayon- Ryu training to anyone. Chayon- Ryu is the best!</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>SAB</b>: Master Sullins can you tell us about your illnesses and
how you were able to overcome them and come back to train Chayon-Ryu?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MJS: </b><i>In 2007 I was diagnosed with hepatitis C. I spent 4
years giving myself stomach injections weekly. Once I was cure of Hepatitis I
was diagnosed with Cirrhosis. I have been fighting nausea and vomiting every
day. That has been going on for 13 years. I was 215 pound and went down to 150.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could not made it without Chayon-Ryu
training and support. In the summer of 2019 my son offered to share his liver
with me. I had the transplant at the University Transplant Hospital. The
surgery was a success. My son is back to work and I back training Chayon- Ryu!
I am now in 185 pounds.</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>SAB:</b> It has been indeed a rough time Master Sullins, your
story is the great inspiration for all Chayon- Ryu students. Would you like to
say anything to the Chayon-Ryu students?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MJS:</b> <i>The main thing is to train with humility and sincerity. Know the basic principles of Chayon-Ryu and apply them to every motion. Use
proper breathing, balance, proper body shifting and train, train, train!</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>SAB: </b>Thank you Master Sullins for sharing your inspirational
story with us. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hope you continue
healthy and training Chayon-Ryu for many years to come. <o:p></o:p></p>Kyosanim 2010http://www.blogger.com/profile/17444018155932888484noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628162552031053415.post-64103543322296935502018-08-26T20:38:00.002-05:002018-08-26T20:38:46.440-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span class="c12">When
Jerry Glover was a young boy, his older brother Pete enjoyed watching
Saturday morning Kung-Fu movies. When he would start imitating martial
art techniques, Jerry would join in.</span></div>
<div class="c3 c8">
<span class="c12">When
he was 14, his father suggested that he take martial art lessons to
boost his confidence and better enable him to withstand the harassment
of neighborhood bullies. He attended a free in Kingwood, Texas which was
close to his home in New Caney.</span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c7"> </span><span class="c6">“</span><span class="c1 c7">I thought I would learn everything I needed to know from that lesson,”says Jerry. </span><span class="c1">Instead, the lesson was the beginning of Jerry’s lifelong education of martial arts.

<div class="c2">
<span class="c0"></span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c0">Jerry
learned martial arts through the Chayon-Ryu training philosophy, which
was founded by Grandmaster Kim Pyung Soo, a native of Korea who began
educating Houston-area martial art students 50 years ago.</span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c0"> Jerry served as Chief Instructor at multiple Chayon-Ryu dojang locations in Montgomery County, Texas since 1995.</span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c0">
Chayon-Ryu means “Natural Way” in Korean and is a
teaching method based on natural human body movements. It was designed,
Jerry said, to be safe and effective and minimizes the risk of injuries.</span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c0"> Unlike many other martial art programs, Chayon-Ryu is non-competitive.</span></div>
<div class="c3 c8">
<span class="c4 c1">“Instead
of teaching students to hit each other for trophies, students are
taught to help each other learn and to show respect for others,” Jerry
says. “Students learn that they don’t have to be stronger, faster, or
better than someone ~ their only competition is within themselves.”</span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c1 c7"> </span><span class="c0">Rather
than concentrating on just one martial art, Chayon-Ryu incorporates
many classical styles; Chinese Chu’an Fa, Japanese Karate, Korean
Taekwondo, Okinawa-te, Judo/Jujitsu, and Hapkido/Aikido. </span></div>
<div class="c3 c8">
<span class="c0">Attaining a Black Belt in Chayon-Ryu signifies a well rounded proficiency in all the arts included.</span></div>
<div class="c3 c8">
<span class="c4 c1">“Instead
of just learning how to kick and punch, students learn to break out of
holds and grabs and defend against guns and knives.” Jerry said.</span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c1 c7"> </span><span class="c0">Chayon-Ryu emphasizes mastery of fundamentals, such as body shifting, balance of movement, eye contact, rhythm and timing.</span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c1"> </span><span class="c4 c1">“A
lot of martial art teachers just say `follow me’ and their students
mimic them. We actually break down the fundamentals and make it simple,”
Jerry said.</span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c0"> Chayon-Ryu students must emphasize proficiency before advancing to the next belt level.</span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c1"> </span><span class="c1 c4">“The color the belt means nothing if students don’t have the knowledge in their heads,” Jerry said.</span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c0">
Lessons also encourage students to learn mental virtues,
such as patience, persistence,loyalty, honesty, and humility.</span></div>

<span class="c4 c11"><b>CHAYON-RYU OFFERS DIVERSE BENEFITS</b> </span></div>
<div class="c2">
<span class="c4 c11"></span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c4 c1">“Some
people want to learn martial arts to stay fit, others want to be able
to defend themselves,” Jerry says. “However, learning martial arts has
many other benefits. It can help reduce stress and build self-esteem. In
addition, it teaches teamwork and leadership skills.”</span></div>
<div class="c2">
<span class="c4 c1"></span></div>
<div class="c3">
<span class="c1 c7">“Shy, introverted children often become more assertive after learning Chayon-Ryu,” Jerry said.</span><span class="c0"> In
addition, he has noticed that learning martial arts is especially
beneficial to children with ADHD, as children learn discipline that
helps them stay focused. Parents have told Jerry that their children’s
success at Chayon-Ryu often translates into improved performance at
school.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">January 16th, 1968, Kim Pyung-Soo, a
young third-generation Korean martial arts master, arrived in the U.S.A. He had
a dream: to pass on the knowledge of his predecessors and help people all over
the world to get the benefit of martial arts training. In 2017 Grandmaster Kim
Soo, as he came to be known, celebrates the 49th anniversary of his creation in
America: Chayon- Ryu, “The Natural Way“ martial arts system. </span><br />

come to America, he was making a living in Korea as a full-time martial arts
instructor and <i>Black Belt Magazine </i>correspondent. So why did he decide
to leave his wife and young son behind and come to America? To understand his
decision, it is necessary to know some of the history of the Korean martial
arts. We are not attempting to make an in-depth exploration of this topic.
However, because of its significance for this story, we will try to summarize
chronologically the most important events in the history of the Korean martial
arts after World War II. </span></div>

<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">After World War II several Korean
masters who had emigrated to China or Japan during the Japanese rule returned
to Korea and started teaching their arts to the civilian population, mostly
adult males. This first generation of Korean masters were highly educated
individuals who studied abroad and reached different levels in Chuan Fa (Kung
Fu) and Karate (mainly Shotokan, Shito- Ryu and Shudokan styles). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">One of these

and raised. He later attended Nihon University in Tokyo, Japan, and he was
recognized as a 4th dan in Shudokan Karate under the founder of this style
Toyama Kanken. Grandmaster Yoon Byung- In founded the Kwon-Beop Bu in the
Central YMCA in Seoul in 1946, teaching a combination of Chuan Fa and Karate
(the only school in Korea with a background in Chinese martial arts). </span></div>
<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">This
school was known initially as “the YMCA Kwon-Beop Bu,” but later at the end of
1948 GM Yoon Byung-In named it the “Chang-Moo Kwan” (House of Bright Martial
Arts). During this time there was a branch Chang-Moo Kwan dojang run by Lee
Nam-Sok at the Communications Department in Seoul, where he was an employee.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">This first generation of masters had
only about four years to pass on their knowledge because the Korean War started
on June 25,1950, and all schools stopped their activities. </span></div>

<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">After the temporary stoppage during the
Korean War, classes started again in the latter part of 1952. Several black
belts who had received instruction from the first generation of masters
reopened their schools, becoming later the second generation of Korean masters.
</span></div>
<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Some of the original masters disappeared
during the war, including Grandmaster Yoon Byung-In, the founder of the
Kwon-Beop Bu (YMCA)(later Chang-Moo Kwan). The Central YMCA building was
completely destroyed by bombing during the war. In 1952 Lee Nam-Sok reopened
the Chae- Shin Bu Dojang at a vacated building damaged by the war that belonged
to the Communications Department, where he was an employee. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">With GM Yoon Byung-In
missing and the YMCA building destroyed, many of the YMCA students, including
Park Chull-Hee and Hong Jong-Pyo, started training at the Chae-Shin Bu. </span></div>
<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Initially the school was known as the “Chae-Shin Bu” (Communications Department
Dojang) and later adopted the name “Chang-Moo Kwan” (House of Bright Martial
Arts). In 1956, Park Chull-Hee and Hong Jong-Pyo, feeling that Lee Nam-Sok was
never appointed to use the Chang- Moo Kwan name and that it didn’t represent
Grandmaster Yoon Byung-In anymore, decided to leave the school, and created the
Kang-Duk Won (Institute of Teaching Morality). </span></div>
<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Many members of the Chang-Moo

<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Grandmaster Kim Soo began his martial
arts training in 1951. In late 1952 he started training under Lee Nam-Sok in
the Chae-Shin Bu (later Chang-Moo Kwan,) earning his black belt two years
later. In 1957 he transferred to the Kang- Duk Won, receiving instruction from
Park Chull-Hee and Hong Jong-Pyo. In late 1957 he became an assistant
instructor to Park Chull- Hee. In 1962 Grandmaster Kim Soo received a 5th dan
in the first promotion test carried by the Korea Taesoo-do Association. In
November 1964 Grandmaster Kim Soo became a full-time martial arts instructor,
founding his Korean Taekwon Karate Academy in Seoul. He was also teaching at
the US Army compound (I-Corps Headquarters) and at the 8th US Army base. In
December 1967 he received his 6th dan from the Korea Taekwondo Association (KTA).
</span></div>
<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">During this period, the Korean
government was pressing for the unification of all schools (kwans) under the
Tae Kwon Do umbrella with the objective to promote Tae Kwon Do as an Olympic
sport. The KTA asked the kwans to drop their forms and concentrate only in
sparring. (The KTA later developed the Yudanja series of forms). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Grandmaster
Kim Soo’s dream was to preserve the legacy of Grandmaster Yoon Byung-In; he
refused to abandon the teachings of his predecessors by joining the Tae Kwon Do
movement and decided to come to America in January 1968 to follow his dream.
His decision led him to the creation of his martial arts system: Chayon-Ryu
(The Natural Way), synthesizing all the teachings of his masters and preserving
the legacy of Grandmaster Yoon Byung-In. </span></div>
<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Chayon-Ryu, “the Natural Way,” is a
unique style of martial art. It combines the influences of all major Asian
martial arts from China, Korea, Okinawa and Japan in a contemporary system that
emphasizes natural body motions ( hence its name ) and basic principles
discovered by Grandmaster Kim Soo through many years of training and teaching. </span></div>
<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">The foundation of the system is the traditional Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and at the
advanced level the students learn Chuan Fa forms and self-defense strategies
that combine Hapkido and Judo / Jiu-Jitsu and Kendo principles. Many of the
forms practiced by the original Korean grandmasters, nowadays almost lost, are
preserved in the system, especially those of Chuan Fa origin (including partner
forms). </span></div>
<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">It also incorporates the original Tae Kwon Do (KTA/WTF) forms (Palgue
series and original Koryo, Taebaek and Ji tae) and Bong Sul (long staff forms).
The system also includes bayonet forms created by Grandmaster Kim Soo for the
Korean Army (ROK). Chayon- Ryu offers a very rich and diverse curriculum to its
students. </span></div>
<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">The list of forms for rank advancement in Chayon-Ryu includes a large

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Even though Grandmaster Kim Soo didn’t
join the sport Tae Kwon Do movement he contributed to its early development by
writing several books in English (published by O’Hara in 1973) and in Russian
(Published by The of Moscow State University in 2000) about of the original
forms of KTA/WTF (Palgue series). Grandmaster Kim Soo also was the first
instructor who taught the recently created Tae Kwon Do black belt forms outside
of Korea (Houston, TX. 1968). </span><br />

<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Grandmaster Kim Soo was promoted to 10th
dan black belt by his senior Grandmaster Hong Jong- Pyo in 1994. At that time
GM Hong was the Chief instructor at the Central YMCA in Seoul. </span></div>
<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Recently, Grandmaster Kim Soo was
invited to the Taekwondo Hall of Fame ceremony in Korea and was asked to teach
the Kukkiwon demonstration team. He taught them some forms and techniques from
his GM Yoon Byung-In background. Grandmaster Kim Soo has been teaching the
legacy of</span> <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Grandmaster
Yoon Byung-In continuously for over 60 years! Thanks to his teachings,
Grandmaster Yoon Byung-In’s legacy is alive. </span></div>
<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Grandmaster Kim Soo could have become a
high-ranking Tae Kwon Do official and traveled the world; he was even asked by
General Choi Hong-Hi to join the International Taekwondo Federation (ITF) and
work for him, on several occasions in Korea and later in Houston, TX, but he
chose to share his knowledge and preserve his system (Chang-Moo Kwan/Kang-Duk
Won) for future generations. That decision led him to the creation of his own
system: Chayon-Ryu. </span></div>
<div class="Pa2" style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Chayon-Ryu is not a competitive style. t
is a lifestyle martial arts system. Grandmaster Kim Soo states that “the real
competition in life takes place from within.” Chayon-Ryu is a martial arts
system like no other in the contemporary world of martial arts, a real treasure
for modern-day martial art students. </span></div>

Kim Soo told stories of his days in Korea and explained why we do some things
the way we do them in Chayon-Ryu, and how he evolved that method. He was encouraging
to the students. Then the students did
an impromptu demonstration. Master John
Stephens also attended, and he demonstrated some Judo techniques for the
students. After class, the day ended
with a potluck lunch. Wimberley is very grateful for the visit, the students
learn a lot from Grandmaster’s visit, and the spirit of the school is soaring.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Happy New Year Everyone!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This year marks 49 years of Chayon Ryu improving lives in
Houston Texas. Please continue training not only for your own benefit but so
that you can pass on the traditions and knowledge that you’ve gained through
your training to others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moving into the
New Year please keep the following in mind, and practice this both in and out
of the Dojang.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Have an unselfish
attitude.</u></b> Help others wherever you can. Offer encouraging words and
praise and give hope. Something as small as acknowledging someone and giving a
smile when you normally wouldn’t could make someone’s day. Make those that you
train with comfortable around you. Offer something that you have to someone
that needs it more than you. Help to clean and maintain the Dojang. Being
humble is part of your training. Cleaning and helping to keep the Dojang in
good operational condition is not only part of your training but your Duty.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Keep an open mind
and heart</u></b>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do not have
preconceived notions or harbor prejudice. Just because someone is on a
different path than you, doesn’t mean they’re lost. See things as they are,
without making assumptions or projecting possible different scenarios onto
them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Respect Others.</u></b>
Treat others as you would like to be treated. Be considerate and polite. Adhere
to the etiquette of the Dojang. Be aware of those around you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do not gossip in or around the Dojang. Gossip is poison that
is spread to others. It is usually based on conjecture and rumors, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and is usually partially or completely
untrue</i>. Gossip often causes unnecessary ill will and is bad Karma.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>When you enter the
Dojang, leave the outside behind</u></b>. Meditate, stretch, and warm up. It is
not a social venue for students to converse about their day, sports or whatever.
If you speak with one another, speak quietly. This has gotten very lax over
time. If you walked in to a Church, would you talk with one another loudly?
Please treat the Dojang respectfully.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just like you take care of yourself every day, you eat, you drink,
you take a vitamin; you should train a little every day. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At home, at work, anywhere; do a little
training. Even in your mind, go over a form or a technique. This too, is taking
care of yourself.</div>

Grandmaster receives this honor for his status in the Korean business community, and his model citizenship in the city of Houston, being a role model and mentor to thousands of Houstonians since he arrived in 1968. Grandmaster Kim Soo celebrates 48 years of teaching Chayon-Ryu in Houston, and around the world.<br />

<b>Grandmaster Kim Soo </b>and the members of Chayon-Ryu International mourn the passing of <b><a href="http://taekwondo.wikia.com/wiki/Chul_Hee_Park" target="_blank">Grandmaster Park, Chull-Hee</a></b> (1932 - 4 April 2016).<br />
Grandmaster Park was one of the two co- founders, along with Grandmaster <a href="http://taekwondo.wikia.com/wiki/Jong_Pyo_Hong" target="_blank">Hong Jong Pyo</a> <i>(who passed in 2011)</i> of the <a href="http://taekwondo.wikia.com/wiki/Kang_Duk_Kwan" target="_blank">Kang Duk Kwan</a>, one of the original Nine Kwans of taekwondo.<br />

Grandmaster Hong and Grandmaster Park were students at <a href="http://taekwondo.wikia.com/wiki/Chang_Moo_Kwan" target="_blank">Chang Moo Kwan</a>, and in 1956 they opened their own school - the Kang Duk Kwan.<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Etiquette of the Dojang in Chayon-Ryu</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chayon-Ryu is a traditional Martial Art System. Unlike other systems that focus on sport competition, Chayon-Ryu strives to preserve traditions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Dojang Traditions: Bowing</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bowing in Asian cultures is a form of greeting just like shaking hands in Western cultures. In the Dojang bowing is also a form of showing respect to senior students and instructors. Beginner students should practice it until it becomes an unconscious habit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Standing bow</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most common form of bowing in the Dojang is the standing bow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The standing bow is performed from attention stance (Charyot).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Body is inclined 45 degrees at the hips.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eyes look forward.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hands are placed at the sides of the body.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The standing bow is performed about six feet away from the person you are bowing to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Sitting Bow</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another form of bowing is the sitting bow. Traditionally, this bow is used to show utmost respect to the other person.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sitting bow is performed from a kneeling position, coming to your knees at attention stance; the hands are placed on the mat in front of the knees. The forehead touches slightly to the mat, keeping this position for a few seconds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The standing bow is always done in class, while the sitting bow is more formal and is only performed on special occasions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lower ranked students initiate the bow, while higher ranked students and instructors will release the bow. In case of a very senior ranking master, or Grandmaster Kim Soo, you should always hold the bow position a little longer than the person to whom you are bowing. In all instances, you should show sincerity. Bow properly. Don’t walk and bow, or simply nod your head, as this is considered rude.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When listening to the instructor who is addressing class, students should be at attention. Sometimes a more relaxed parade stance is acceptable, with arms crossed behind and feet shoulder width apart; the command to relax is “Shio.” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes students will be seated during speeches but only after they are directed to do so. Always the students should give undivided attention to instructors or masters when they are addressing the class.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chayon-Ryu students are expected to show proper etiquette in the Dojang and it should always be reinforced by the instructors.</span><br />

two soldiers are up for promotion, their superior officers will look at their
records to see their respective achievements. If one has many awards and the
other has few, it is obvious who will be promoted. Soldiers are promoted for
what they have done for their nation, not because they are good looking or have

paying their dues and attending class they are doing enough. </span></div>

up to Blue belt level this is an acceptable attitude, as it takes some time to
understand the importance of the Dojang in one’s life. However, above this
level, students have been training for several years and should understand the
importance of doing more around the Dojang.</span></div>

Belt students, especially, should build up Kong in order to be promoted to the
next Dan level. Without Kong why do you deserve to be promoted? To be promoted
you must have special credit. You must have shown leadership qualities, and set
a good example for other Black Belts and all junior students. </span></div>

your training. Show your generosity by helping the system. You could donate
some time to help maintain or repair the Dojang. Spend some time cleaning
before or after class. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">At the very least
you need to pick up the dust that you drop. </b>You don’t need to make a

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Quite
often, new students come to the Dojang and see their old friends. Their first

don’t need to drag them along to class, but let them know that you train and
how it has helped your life. Put some flyers up so people realize that someone
they know trains at the school. Remember how difficult it was for you to come
to class when you didn’t know anyone. Probably many of your friends, relatives,

have built up much Kong in my life. </b>Your Kong shows what you want, what you
have done, and your effort to achieve these goals. Every chance I got, I taught
my friends and shared the benefits of my training. I have shared with you for 48 years in the USA, and 65 years since I started teaching in Korea. <br /><b>Every time
I share my knowledge I build my Kong. <br />When you teach, you build your Kong. </b><br />You
never know, the lesson you teach might save a person’s life, or make them rich
beyond their wildest dreams.</span></div>

saying, <b>In Gua Ung Bo</b> means "Where there is cause there will be a

seeds you will get a plentiful return. If you throw no seeds then nothing
returns to you. If you throw bad seeds ... well I am sure you understand.</span></div>

sense to manage their money wisely if they did win? In most cases the answer is
a resounding "NO."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">During my
visit to Kim Soo Karate of Baytown, I was asked this very question by a parent
of the dojang. <b>What is a teaching method
vs. martial arts style?</b></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I explained
to the parent that teaching methods such as Grandmaster Kim Soo’s <b>Chayon-Ryu</b>
“The Natural Way”, Bruce Lee’s <b>Jeet Kune Do</b> "the art of expressing the
human body", and Chuck Norris's <b>Chun Kuk Do</b>, "The Universal Way” are designed to
teach classical martial arts more safe and effective for all students. </span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Instead of
just learning one martial art such as Karate or Taekwondo, teaching methods are
defined as hybrid martial art systems because they include many arts. The idea
is to use different "tools" for different situations.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I explained
to the students that Chayon-Ryu uses natural human body movements and emphasizes
the "Basic Principles" rather than thousands of techniques.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> I
explained how a student of Taekwondo may perform a form (Hyung) which looks
like one taught in Chayon-Ryu. The differences will be the way the basic
movements are taught. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When it was </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">my turn to demonstrate, GMKS mentioned that he noticed (via a recent video of another class) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">an issue with my basic form number one and it was the other student’s job to observe and </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">comment on what they saw. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While there were several good comments they were not what </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">GMKS noticed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He proceeded to comment that I had developed a bad habit of turning, looking </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and then executing my block. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In other words, it was not the natural way. As a fifth degree black </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">belt, this was humbling and enlightening. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Humbling because I was surrounded by other students </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">with a proverbial bright light shining on one of my mistakes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Enlightening because I was given </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the chance to recognize and correct a fundamental problem. With a few repetitions, I figured out </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">what GMKS had noticed and with a few more repetitions, I was able to correct this issue and </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">improve my foundation. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I find the more I train in Cha Yon Ryu (“CYR”) the more I am at peace with myself and my </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">surroundings. Like many students, I began my martial arts career with a focus on self-defense </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and physical training. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However, the more I study and research the more I appreciate the CYR </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">system and its rich heritage. GMKS is constantly reminding his students about his teachers and </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the importance they had on his training and teaching. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I find that with only a small amount of </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">effort and research, my eyes are opened for a much deeper meaning of the CYR system and its </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">tenets. GMKS has also reminded his students often that we can learn and practice CYR at any </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">age. The system is a lifelong system in that we are always students with more to learn. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This reminds me to focus on the three stages of martial arts training – physical, philosophical and </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">application. GMKS wrote an article on the stages of training in 1995, noting that most students </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">quit training after a few years due to their instructors only understanding and teaching the first </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">stage – physical training. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">GMKS stated that the second stage, or philosophical, includes </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">breathing and meditation techniques to gain wisdom and strengthen willpower. This is where </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">GMKS has seen the creation of a positive attitude, improved confidence and self-esteem, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">leadership skills, control and responsibility for one’s actions. The third stage, application, is </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">where the student’s martial arts training is incorporated into every daily life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Mu Do</b> <b>In</b> is an </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">enlightened person who understands the true value of martial arts training. It is through my </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">research, training and reflection that I appreciate GMKS and CYR even more. I suppose that is </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">how life is meant to be, a circle from birth to death, with fulfillment and purpose hopefully found </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">in between. I now understand that GMKS wants each student to find ‘themselves,’ finding his or </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">her personal potential. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To apply how to use one’s body, mind and training to improve your life </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">is the true purpose of CYR. Understanding foundational principles and applying them is the core </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">of CYR. Being reminded to observe, correct and improve one’s foundations is also the core of </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">CYR. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As GMKS reminds his students, the stripes on one’s black belt only mean patience. The </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">student of CYR understands that this is a life-long journey to personal enlightenment. Different </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and sometimes repetitious struggles are part of this journey. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I understand the importance of patience through my martial arts studies. The more I learn, the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">more I realize there is to learn. Comprehending the importance to question ideas and concepts </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">that I am unfamiliar with and then meditating and working out their true meaning until I am able </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">to figure out a solution is one of the basic tenets of a good student. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Grandmaster Kim Soo </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">points out that each stripe on his black belt does not reflect how much better he is than others or </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">how much more he knows; rather it exemplifies his trials and tribulations of more than <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">6</span>0 years </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">of learning and teaching. It signifies his In, or patience, which has led to his current level of </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">enlightenment (Nam). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">GMKS has reminded me recently that Cha Yon Ryu strives to teach </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">based on the following methodology – ”do not drink from a hose, rather give just enough to </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ponder, rethink, watch and learn.” I appreciate that GMKS continues to teach and cares so much </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">about his students. His recent input most certainly helped with my In and Nam. </span></div>

무도는 수련생들에게 신체적으로는 물론 정신적으로도 커다란 영향을 미친다. 훌륭한 사범으로부터 수련해 무도의 원리를 깨달은 수련생들은 어떤 무기를 사용하지 않고도 맨손으로도 무도수련을 위한 본래의 목적을 달성할 수 있다. 하지만 무도의 원리원칙을 무시하고 자신의 힘을 자랑하거나 신체적 능력개발에만 중점을 두고 무도를 수련하면 수년 아니 수개월내에 신체적 고통과 함께 정신적 갈등에 봉착하는 경우가 있다.<span id="more-9940" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span> 그 이유는 무도의 수련과정이 본래 자아성찰을 요구하기 때문이다. 이로 인해 무도수련을 위해 찾아오는 수련생들에게 나는 항상 무도를 수련하는 목적이 무엇인지 진지하게 묻는다. 그리고 나는 수련생들에게 솔직한 답을 듣기 원한다. 그래야 내가 무엇을 도와줄지 알 수 있다.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />이번 칼럼에서 나는 한국과 미국에서 만났던 여러 계층의 수많은 무도 수련생들로부터 받았던 질문과 대답 몇 개를 소개하고자 한다.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />물론 본래 의도를 숨기는 수련생도 있었지만, 대부분의 수련생들은 왜 무도를 수련하려고 하는지 자신의 생각을 솔직히 털어놓는 편이다.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />1. 친구들에게 얻어맞으면서 자존감을 상실했고, 따라서 나를 방어할 수 있는 호신술을 배우고 싶다. 2. 정서가 불안하다는 소리를 자주 듣는다. 정신적인 안정이 필요하다. 3. 한 달에 한 번꼴로 남편이 이상하리만치 미친 듯 날뛴다. 남편의 폭력으로부터 나를 보호하고 싶다. 4. 프로골프선수인데 시합 초·중반에는 좋은 컨디션을 유지하다가 항상 후반에 무너진다. 정신강화가 필요하다고 생각한다. 5. 프로테니스선수다. 무도수련은 집중력을 강화시켜 줄 것 같다. 6. 20대 후반의 프로복싱선수인데 20대 초반의 기량을 회복하고 싶다. 7. 아내와 이혼한 후 우울증에 시달리고 있다. 8. 휴스턴대학교 풋볼선수인데 게임이 안 풀리면 불안해 손톱을 씹는 습관이 생겼다. 9. 고등학교를 졸업하는 딸이 타주에 있는 대학에 진학한다. 딸이 떠나기 전에 약간의 자기방어기술을 가려쳐 보냈으면 한다. 10. 어떻게 하면 벽돌과 송판을 멋있게 격파할 수 있을까? 11. 소송전문변호사다. 판사와 배심원들 앞에서 자신감 있고 당당하게 변론하고 싶다. 12. 유명무대에 서는 성악가다. 슬럼프인지 관객들 앞서 서면 왠지 초라해 보이고 이전과 다르게 자신감도 결여됐다. 예전의 그 당당한 모습으로 돌아가고 싶다.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />다양한 이유로 무도를 수련하고 싶다며 찾아오는 수련생들이 있었지만, 다행인지 아직까지 올림픽에 출전해 금메달을 따고 싶다는 수련생은 만나지 못했다. 수련 중에 올림픽 메달획득으로 방향을 전환하는 수련생은 있었지만, 결코 환영해 본 기억이 없다.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />갖가지 이유로 나를 찾아와 무도를 배운 수련생들 중에는 1~2년 뒤 소기의 목적을 달성했다며 감사를 표하는 수련생들도 있다. 다음의 내용에서 무도수련생들이 실제로 겪었던 경험을 소개한다.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />1. 플로리다 중부지역(Central Florida)에서 사범으로 무도를 가르치고 있는 트라비스 윌리스(Travis Willis)과 텍사스 남쪽에 위치한 항구도시인 코퍼스크리스티에서 역시 무도를 가르치고 있는 제럴드 타시낵(Gerald Tashnek) 사범은 모터사이클, 즉 오토바이를 운전해 가던 중 교통사고를 당해 중상을 입었지만, 무도수련으로 단련된 탄탄한 신체와 불굴의 정신력으로 부상에서 회복해 현재 무도를 수련하고 있다. 2. 휴스턴경찰국(HPD) 소속의 특수기동대(SWAT)를 지휘관으로 무도를 수련하던 이 경찰관은 어느 날 출동한 사건현장에서 범인이 던진 칼이 이마에 꽂혔다. 도장등록 당시 자신의 신분을 노출하지 않았던 이 경찰은 사고 후 약 6개월 뒤 당시 상황을 촬영한 사진을 내게 보여주며 이마에 박힌 칼을 제거하는 수술을 담당한 의사가 “천운으로 목숨을 건졌지만, 평생 투통으로 고생할 것”이라고 말했지만, 생활무도 자연류를 통해 배운 호흡을 꾸준히 수련하면서 두통에 시달리지 않고 있다며 감사해 했다. 3. 610번 고속도로와 엘라(Ella Blvd.)도로에서 멀지않은 곳에 ‘카바토레’라는 이태리식당이 있다. 이 식당은 주인의 이름인 후안 카바토레(Juan Carlos Cabatorre)의 이름을 따서 붙여졌는데, 휴스턴에서는 물론 미 전국적으로도 아주 유명한 식당이다. 63세에 자연류 1단에 오른 카바토레가 어느 날 사다리를 놓고 식당건물의 지붕 개수대에 낙엽을 걷어내는 청소를 하던 중 발이 삐끗해 사다리에서 낙상하는 사고를 당했다. 처가 기겁해서 달려왔지만 자신이 옷에 묻은 낙엽을 털며 아무 일 없었다는 듯 일어나자 놀랐다며, 사실 자신도 놀랐는데, 사다리에서 떨어지는 순간 자신도 모르게 자연류에서 배운 낙법이 자연스럽게 나왔다며 나에게 고맙다는 인사를 전했다. <다음호에서 계속></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
People often wonder why I continue to train in martial arts.
I am a 59 year old man, a professor, an anesthetist, a lawyer too. They think
it is for self-defense, for protection. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is for self-defense and for protection. But not for what
many think. Certainly it is possible that I would have to use my hands and feet
to defend myself. And Chayon Ryu trains me for that. But it is unlikely. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like
any smart martial artist, I avoid dangerous people and dangerous places whenever
possible. I avoid rather than confront. I do not go around spoiling for a
fight. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But life brings us dangers not only of the action movie
variety. It brings us the everyday dangers. Stress and all that stress
brings. Part of what Chayon Ryu brings us is a balanced exercise program.
Class always begins with meditation and stretching. Then we go through our
basic movements, our forms, and for those of us who have trained for longer
periods, more advanced movements. </div>

Scientific studies are very clear that
exercise increases health and longevity, heart strength is also brain strength,
it is good for the mind and the body. It helps one maintain fitness, weight, it
improves one’s ability to sleep well and to think well.</div>

Chayon Ryu teaches. That is how to fall. Hopefully I will never be in a
physical fight for the rest of my life. As I am not a policeman or soldier,
this is possible. But I will fall down. Everyone falls down and as we age our
balance declines. Many older people fall and break bones, hit their heads.
Falls cause many injuries and even deaths every year. I have taken care of many
patients over the years who have severe injuries from falling. But when one
learns how to fall and practices it regularly, one can prevent injuries. I know
for myself that in the past few years I have fallen several times, whether when
running for exercise and tripping on an obstruction or while walking the dogs or
going hiking. Falls are very frequent in wet areas like kitchens and
bathrooms. But every time I have fallen since training in Chayon Ryu, the
practiced method of falling just comes out. The force of the fall is
distributed across my body, my head is held up and does not hit the ground. I
stand right up and brush myself off and smile because I know that my training
has paid off.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But just as Chayon Ryu is more than just self-defense,
punching and kicking, it is more than just an exercise program. I work in an
operating room administering anesthesia to patients undergoing surgery. I also
teach students my craft and help them learn how to administer anesthesia. Both
are very stressful. One must be alert or patients may suffer. At critical
times it is imperative that one be able to control one’s emotions and think
clearly. One must be humble and be able to see that he is not the most
important person in the room.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Properly taught martial arts, like Chayon Ryu, teach humility
and patience. One goes through the process of learning. One must empty his
mind and be humble in order to progress to the next step. One must be receptive
to being taught, to learning from his teachers, his training partners and his
students also. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sparring in Chayon Ryu is a great example of how one learns
control, patience and humility. Initially students tend to think that it is a
contest. It is not. Students think that black belts must be the most dangerous
sparring partners; on the contrary they are the safest as they have learned
control. It is not being the hardest puncher that gains one rank and
recognition in sparring. It is the ability to be patient and controlled. When
working with a lower ranking student, one may be punched or kicked, even a
little harder than one should have been. It takes patience and control to
understand that there is no ill intent that one must respond with control and
kindness and bring the sparring to an unemotional state where both training
partners can learn.</div>

In the operating room, in the classroom, in any workplace,
events may occur that could cause one to become emotional. The patient’s
condition may become critical, one professional in the operating room may ask
for drugs, or may need a procedure performed at once. Emotions may come out,
people may raise their voices. The same control that lets one be a good
sparring partner help one to be a good professional in the operating room. If a
surgeon or nurse in the operating raises her voice because she needs something
right away or because there is bleeding or some other problem with the patient,
one must maintain control, one must be calm. When a student is counseled or
graded and is not pleased with his grade or not receptive with criticism, he may
become emotional. It is essential that the teacher not return that negative
emotion, but be calm. This is what a true lifestyle martial art like Chayon Ryu
teaches.</div>

He came to the United States in 1968 with a burning desire to teach traditional martial arts, and to share his knowledge with the world.<br />
<br />
<br />
Over the past 47 years he has taught over 70, 000 students, and changed their lives. Grandmaster is a very special gentleman, who regards his students as his family.<br />
<br />
<br />
He is a legitimate 10th degree black belt and founder of a martial arts system, but he is also like a father to many of us who have trained with him over the years. We congratulate Grand<br />
master on his 47th anniversary! <br />
<br />
Here are some photos from the training and luncheon:<br />
