Tae Kwon Do Times
Magazine

That being said, I have good news. TKD Times Magazine is always looking for correspondents to bring them the latest news on tae kwon do around the world. I recently applied for a position as a Special Correspondent and was accepted.

So now, I am the proud owner of an International Press Identification pass as a Special Correspondent & Photographer for the Tae Kwon Do Times Magazine.

Fantastic Females

Their request to correspondents is as follows:Our March 2009 Issue will focus on Females in the Martial Arts!The editors are looking for stories about females, for females and by females for our 2nd Annual Fantastic Females Issue!Do you have a great story idea that you want to see in this issue?

I am reaching out to all of you, my TKDTimes readers to ask if you know of any Fantastic Females whose martial arts story would make for interesting reading in the Tae Kwon Do Times Magazine.

If you know of an individual or story that would fit the bill, please contact me at TKDTimes@Taekwondo-Network.com and give me a synopsis. I'll get back to you if I think your story would fit the magazine.

Thanks in advance for your help.
