March 20, 2012–Exciting Martial Arts/Life Training Class with Dr. Tae Yun Kim 03/20/2012

Today’s class was most exciting in many ways.  First I train now in Martial Art. The stye is Jung SuWon.   I started training 20 years ago for the pure and simple fact that I wanted really doing something difficult well.  I also wanted to learn from someone who was absolutely Great as person and instructor.  I never thought I would ever really find that.  I thought would discover some weakness or fault in my teacher, Dr Tae Yun  Kim . I am still in wonder, still amazed, and still learning now many years later.   The freshness and relevance is incredibly always present.  I really am very thankful, that God somehow navigated me to Dr. Tae Yun Kim. 

So today, I made a new discovery of doing a perfect back-kick.   You have to know at that 59, the body stiffens.  Flexibility, all musclar coordination starts  to rapidly disappear.  Aches, pains, sprains, muscle pulls, low energy levels ,memory lapses and all the other  likely excuses populate the present moment  for me each time I get onto the floor.    As a result of my training over last 20 years, I have been honored to learn how to maintain my complete self–Body, Mind, and spirit.  That is essence of Jung Suwon, Dr. Tae Yun Kim, Ki Energy Master teaching.   Despite the challenges of moden life , I still train at a very high level.  I find that, my Jung Suwon training helps me to navigate thru the stresses and challenge today’s world, like a present day warrior.  All the principal   I remember reading Johnathan Seagull many years ago about the flying.  The Seagull is consistingly pushing for new limits and new height in flying.  In this environment I  am now doing that. I could not believe the speed, strength and perfect control.  I felt, I could kick high , low, fast, in small opening of opposing person defenses.  I was in perfect sync. Each kick, was unique yet perfect.  I found that I could many, many kicss without getting tired. It was a matter of focus.

  Dr. Tae Yun Kim a  Great Grandmaster is very  accomplished in this Art.  She calmly, smiles I as made my discovery .  Her motto and Life Statement is– He Can Do, She Can Do, Why not me?   She has faced incredible Odds, and Life Challenges, in Business, Martial Arts.  and every facet of her life.  She always chosen to rise above and curse or blame life.  I don’t understand her stamina or conviction to always embrace life and the pain.   She is my personal heroes.

This experience  is something I can spply in my home and  in any environment.
