Is the Taekwondo place I go to a “Mcdojo”?Wednesday, May 27th, 2009
1)there is no sparring, as they clain the art is “too deadly to use” My place: 1. There is sparring (only on weekends, and they last for one and a half hours each, you spend most of the first hour stretching, warming up, and practicing kicks) 2. There IS a fee for each promotional test, yellow belt is $50, and it incrementally increases by $5 by each test. 3. There is somewhat of a contract, I paid $1080 for a full year of membership. I have no idea how good of a price that is, and I’m not obligated to go or anything, but I can attend as many classes as I want, as long as I fit the age group and class schedule. 4. I don’t know if the master has mastered any other arts, but he is in his sixties; yet he has more strength, endurance, and agility than most men half his age. 5. There ARE little kids with blackbelts, such as eight, nine, and ten year olds that have the rank. However, they have been going for a while, and they have successfully passed their promotional tests. 6. This is questionable. The older kids (teens) who have black belts ALL have good form, strength, and endurance (much better than mine >.<, I'm just a higher-yellow belt). However, the younger black belts don't seem to have nearly as much skill, even when you take age into account. 7. No such thing as quick advancement for money. There is a promotional test for color belts held four times a year, and black belt test is held once a year. If you pass, then you advance. Otherwise, you stay at your current rank. 8. I don't think so. There are ten belts before black: white, yellow, higher-yellow, green, higher-green, blue, higher blue, red, higher-red 9. No black belt clubs 10. We do real fitness training. Plenty of stretches, jumping jacks, push ups, crunches, and other exercises that I'm not sure of the proper name happen before we start practicing kicks, either "air kicks" or with targets, for the rest of the hour. 11. We don't fool around. Only warming up, stretching, fitness training, and practicing. Although its a bit more lenient when a student instructor (at least a first dan black belt) teaches. 12. We do buy our uniforms from the school, also our sparring gear, although I think its fine if you bring in outside uniforms as long as their sound. 13. I haven't searched for my grandmaster's claims or ranks, (he is an 8th dan black belt who has won several prominent contests in China and the U.S.) but there are newspaper clippings, trophies, certificates, and other stuff that looks pretty dam authentic. Another note about the advancement tests; you generally pass as long as you show spirit and that you've worked hard, unless you really did horrible in your forms and couldn't break the boards. It's starting from the first dan black belts that you especially need near perfect or perfect forms and such.

How Could A Library “Green-ify” Itself?Friday, October 17th, 2008
The librarians are requesting ideas of how to become more environmentally aware for one day. I had the suggestion of decorating the teen section with “green” crafts and decorations. Does anyone else have any ideas?
