Building the most reputable Taekwon-Do school

In building the most reputable school, the head instructor should first look to building themselves into a reputable and capable martial artist. When a martial art instructor identifies themselves as such, they must embody the following characteristics:

• Physical fitness.

• Martial…

Taekwon-Do Philosophy

Universal Appeal;

Taekwon-Do philosophy is founded in work ethic, health, social interaction and constant striving.

Kim's Taekwon-Do's constant message: Progress, Peace and Love, as well as the Tenets of Taekwon-Do (Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-control, and Indomitable Spirit) could easily serve as a moral compass, by which any human could live his or her…

I suspect it is due to tightness in the TFL or IT band on my left side...I figured a few squats would either loosen it up, or definitely ferret out the problem. Hey, I could just tough it out on a foam roller, or...

MISC:

I just became aware of a new men's "fitness" competition called FIT USA. Why do so many men want to be beauty queens these days? Gentlemen: If your fitness routine involves the use of fake tanning, oil, and "poses" instead of fighting, handling weapons under stress, moving fast and lifting heavy stuff, then maybe you really do NEED all those testosterone booster products that I hear ads for all the time.
