Trade the Track Shoes for Taekwondo Belts

Arirang Taekwondo- While teaching in Seoul, my Korean immersion has extended to studing Marital Arts- Korean Taekwondo, with Round house kicks, wooden board breaking and the 'giant leap frog' excercise. I have hung up the track spikes and pole vault poles and traded them in for Taekwondo belts. The track skills have carried over well in martial arts! About 3 times a week I take an hour long subway ride to the north side of Seoul in a neighborhood called Samgakji.  The Dojang, (no, Dojo is Japanese) is apart of the Korean War Memorial Museum, and the Marital Arts center itself is one large, round room, with a sparring ring in the middle, a platform in the front of the room for demostrations and two huge wooden statues in the front that boarder a Korean flag.

Only, he had a more potent point to show me.
