Totally TKD May 2011

Hi, it's Kalynn here from The Taekwondo Network.

Have you ever wondered, "Geez, what's the point of this form?" Well you're probably not the only one. Understanding the practical applications of any form helps you learn and then retain the movements at a much deeper level than you could have imagined.

In fact, knowing "the point" is crucial.

I just put the latest issue of Totally TKD online for you:http://taekwondo-information.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/TotallyTKD_Issue_27.pdf

And you'll find on page 47 photographs and written explanation of "the point" to some movements in Tong Il followed by Taegeuk Yuk Jang and Keumgang.

But it doesn't end there. No siree. There is a great little article by Patricia DeArmas on page 41 entitled, "100 Taekwon-do Things To Be Happy About" written in a way that only a young person could. Enfused with the wonder of simple things that we should all be more aware of and take the time to enjoy and be happy about.

**WARNING: If you dare to read the article on page 41, prepare to smile. A lot!**

And so very much more and I've left it for you here:http://taekwondo-information.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/TotallyTKD_Issue_27.pdf

Then, make sure you check out the article by Master Doug Cook (who is a friend of a friend) beginning on page 27.

(Special Note: My friend is in the photo on page 32. The woman in front on the far right is my very good friend Master Erica Linthorst :-) Hope you're reading this Erica!

So for the last time already, here is the link:http://taekwondo-information.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/TotallyTKD_Issue_27.pdf

Yeesh, you'd think I never gave you anything! (That was supposed to be funny). Happy May Day!

Enjoy :-)

P.S. Feel free to pass this along to anyone you think will benefit from it. And let them know they can join my email list and I will let them know when the next issue comes out just like I do for you!

One last time..
