The master of my school is from Korea. He founded his own school here and we have branches in a few different states now, I believe. We use forms accepted by the ITF and WTF (international and world tae kwon do federations respectively). He recieved his ninth Dan in Korea from a Korean school. I don't know of we're registered through either of those previously mentioned associations, but I don't think we are. And, in my experience, that's not exactly uncommon around here. I did participate in one other school in college. They dropped me back to white belt and their technique and forms were slightly different. The main instructors were much more MMA directed and incorporated kick boxing and karate into the class, even though it was labeled tar kwon do. They weren't associated with either of the organizations I'm familiar with either.
    Shahaku,
    I was actually replying to someone else who brought up that Karate schools accepted the belts conferred by other Dojos. I didn't even know there were Tae Kwon Do associations. I thank you for the information. It will be lodged in my brain now along with all the other knowledge that most people do not care about. I love stuff like that! Joining an affiliation generally gets the teacher and school very little and is often expensive with the initial fees and the annual dues. It is surprising that most schools join them.

      I apologize. I thought you were responding to me.

      I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
      It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
      Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

        Pressing criminal charges after all this time is really not a good thing. There is simply no evidence remaining.
        Ahh. Okies.

          Dear advertisers on YouTube, please do not make ads that are longer than a minute. It's really unacceptable.

          Seriously, I allow ads on YouTube (I usually use a blocker) because I mostly use it to listen to music and I want to support artists, but stuff like this makes it really hard.

            I am so tired of not sleeping. I really wish this insomnia would go away. Work is too busy for me to be awake half the night...

              Re: Billy Cosby Is A Rapist

              As a former victim advocate (asn as someone that has been raped and made the decision not to report it), and having read an extensive amount of research on both false reporting and on serial rapists, I find it incredibly plausible that a) Bill Cosby is a serial rapist, b) that no one has come forward until now, and c) all of these women were actually raped by Bill Cosby. But legally, the burden of proof would be *really* high to meet, if the time period hasn't been exceeded, by this time.

                The MTA Bus Driver Was Very Rude To People

                Today I was waiting the bus to go to my outpatient therapist. Then the M96 bus arrive on the street instead of the curb. The lady said I can't get to the bus because it's not the curb. Then the bus driver said So what! Either get to the bus or wait for the next bus. Then the bus driver drove away leaving other passengers behind. I just don't understand why people especially the MTA bus driver was very rude to other people today. >

                  Because many people are rude. Softly said.

                    Why no-one ever told me that having opinions, interests and goals of my own is a) sort if vital for a person b) is so damn hard.

                                Opinion is a part of you as a person. Life is complicated, that's why having opinions, interests and goals is hard. I gave up on goals a while ago.
