-- Peter SalasMTeam Seminar
MTeam is holding their first seminar this Saturday, December 8th, 2007.
For those who do not know who MTeam is, they are a world renowned Tae Kwon Do demonstration team. They recently were invited to perform at the Tae Kwon Do Hall of Fame and was honored with the award for 'Best TaeKwonDo Demonstration Team of the Year'.
This is a highly recommended seminar to learn basic fundamental demo techniques (as well as advance techniques), that can be applied to your school or just your own self-improvement.

Quote of the Day: Kihaps in TaeKwonDo
As far as different types [of ki haps], I've heard them all, and they all have their uses:
- the standard, uninteresting yell (gets you breathing, lets the other guy know you're there)
- the murderous war shriek (scare children!)
- the strangled gag (disorients opponent, who then asks if you are okay. Kick them in the head)
- the Dog Whistle (disarm opponent with an impossibly high screech. Whilst they are holding their head in pain, padachagi them)
- the Homer (my favorite, an impeccably cheerful 'whoo-hoo!' every time one kicks)
