Nov 18, 2008 - Last one I can remember well is from 1995, but there may have been one more. The last festival was held just before the UH Robertson field house was demolished.R. McLain

Nov 18, 2008 - we wouldn't expect anyone like you to understand and appreciate mental-spiritual growth training. go pound someone.

Nov 18, 2008 - Well I am a former student of the "Natural Way". I have much respect for Kwang Jang Nim and yourself Master Kim... but I felt that the system was lacking for ME. Not aggresive enough or complete for ME. I understand the whole spiritual aspect of it though. Maybe you took offense to my comment.

Nov 18, 2008 - I appreciate your opinion. From my experience and my students' experience, what Grandmaster Kim teaches works great. What Grandmaster Kim has done with Chayon-Ryu is develop a way for people of many physical abilities and ages to train together in one place. I recommend someone with more intensity in mind take the lessons and PT themselves outside of class and "ramp it up" a bit. Grandmaster Kim considers himself an educator, not a drill instructor. Good to hear from a former student!

Nov 18, 2008 - Thanks. I feel that ChayonRyu gave a me a strong foundation in martial arts. The other styles that I have trained in after are an extension of that training. I understand it is impossible in a classroom with people of all ages and genders to incorporate grappling, ground fighting, etc... The "Natural Way" was just a stop in my journey as a student of the martial arts.
