Dear All,

I am Glad to know that for all the true BadASS fighting warriors that graduated from the Oh Do Kwan, and are documented in the nightmares of their opponents (Vietcong, NVA, DPRK, ect.) that the average idiot judges the value of Taekwon-Do on the fighting ability of a 17 yr. old punk "olmpic athlete"

Do none of you "educated" people realize that sport is sport and fighting is fighting. There are martial arts and there are martial sports...TKD can be both! You excel at what you practice.

Furthermore, to those of you that think the UFC, Pride, and MMA are the prove all to martial arts value...Shine your belt and "trust your worth"...TRUE WARRIORS have validation of their abilities also...BLOOD ON THEIR BOOTS!

Sgt. Major Kang Chung Man, Sgt. Major Kim Bo Kyum, Captain Song, Captain Kim, and everyone else who had to prove their ability out of necessity...Thank You! YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!

Oh Do Kwan, Kyong Ye, TAEKWON!

Here's to the White Horse, Blue Dragon, and Tiger. I may be mistaken but I believe it was the Tigers that were very good at silent kills.
