Tae Kwon Do Times

[Chazz]

For anyone who has or hasnt heard of it, TKD has a great mag. called Tae Kwon Do times. Its a everything that you want to know in TKD.

The cover of the Sept issue, the president of Kickchick, and my org. will be on the cover. Congrats to him and the ITU.

Congrats to your org. and of course to Master Merritt, I however don't agree with you Chazz about the mag. I think its way to commercial nowadays and filled with to many advertisments. Everynow and then though, I will give it credit, there is an interesting article.

[Chazz]

I do thing that there is a lot of commercial adds in there but I do love the articles in there. I find many in every issue that i like.

back to the adds. every mag that is out has a lot of that in there. They get paid to put them in there so i would be doing the same thing.

tkd times is a good mag. for korean arts all togeather

hkd

[waya]

Chazz, I have that mag here. When I moved I actually moved to where it is published :)

[PsiCop]

I was in an issue about 2 years ago. It was the one covering a trip to Korea and China... I was in the group that went there.

[waya]

I have to give credit to their editor. He puts stuff in there that I know has to get him flamed, no matter how true it is. The Sept issue has a nice example in it.

[KickChick]

Chazz I saw that the other day when I logged on to the site!
I haven't subscribed to the mag in a while... need to resubscribe I guess! Actually you can purchase just that issue on the site.

As with all mags out there... way too many advertisements but at least it doesn't have those annoying perfume samples in it!:D

... actually when looking at the local newsstand ..I noticed there really isn't too many available... either they don't stock them cos they don't sell or I need to find a different store or just go online and subscribe to the diff MA mags out there.

[PsiCop]

.... i wish i was on the cover though.... my instructor wsa a cpl of times, but oh well. maybe some day ill get my glory, eh. Anyways congratulations.

[Chazz]

Most places dont have as many of the MA mags that they did at one time. So it is getting hard to find what i want to read.

[waya]

I'm lucky in that respect. Most all of them are available here because of the number of schools being so high. Check at bookstores in the mall, or the little mom & pop newsstands that carry magazines. They usually have them.

[Chazz]

been there done that. Dont have them. I have to go out of state to get TKD times

[kchenault]

Well now, thanks to Grandmaster Jung (my TKD grandfather) that he is still putting out a mag for us Korean stylists to read. :D The one I used to read a lot of was Inside Tae Kwon Do. Haven't seen that one in ages.

Sorry I had to throw the plug in for the Grandmaster.....;)

[Chazz]

So are you saying that Grandmaster Jung out out inside TKD or is it another mad. If so what mag and how can we get it.

[kchenault]

GM Jung Started TKD Times. The other mag I used to read but is not in printing anymore was Inside TKD. Sorry for the mix up. GM Jung is still president of TKD Times.

Pilsung!

[Chazz]

Killer to hear, Since your in godd with him, see if he can sent a few issues my way ;) hahaha

[kchenault]

Sorry man, I don't know him personally.:( My master instructors were taught by him. I have never met him. Otherwise, I would ask for myself! hehe....:D

[Chazz]

I was just messin with ya dude.

[kchenault]

I know. Notice the big cheese at the end of my post.

I believe you mean Grandmaster Chung E. Kim? He started the publication in 1980, I am thinking of checking out his school again now that it is only 10 min from me.

[Chazz]

ummmmm So is it Chung or Jung or is it the same person.

[waya]

It's Chung Eun Kim Chazz... I've met him a few times when I've gone to tournaments around here, etc. He started teaching in the US with Hi Il Cho, then opened his school here.

His website is http://www.chungkim.com

And the magazine is http://www.taekwondotimes.com

[Chazz]

Kool, one of the writers for the TKD Times comes to the ITU tourney ever year but ive never talked to him.

[kchenault]

Sorry for the misunderstanding. He co-founded it with Mr. Kim and a Mr. Jung-Eun. At least that is what his website says. I tend to believe him because TKD Times is located in Bettendorf, IA and GM Jung is located in Cedar Rapids, IA. They are only an hour apart.

[wuchang79]

FYI.. .In the Korean Language the 'CH' and 'J' is interchangeable. . .so it could be both.

[kchenault]

Sorry his name is Woo Jin Jung not Chung Kim. Just FYI.

[KickChick]

Ack!! you guys are quibbling here.....

GM Woo Jin Jung is an 8th dan TKD black belt.
Master Jung co-founded with Chuck Norris the Martial Arts Federation for World Peace.
He has taught for 35 years, and has trained thousands of martial artists, including many premier practitioners and instructors (and I guess Ken's too).
Woo Jin Jung's Taekwondo headquarters is based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and other schools are located throughout the Midwest US.
Woo Jin Jung is "vice president" of Tri-Mount Publications, who happens to be the publishers of Tae Kwon Do Times and Chung Eun Kim started the publication of the Tae Kwon Do Times magazine.

quibble quibble quibble......OK???????

[kchenault]

I am just saying what the guy has on his website. Check it out for yourselves, http://jungstkd.com/story.htm

[KickChick]

Well there you have it!... "The Story".... end of story!

Ken.... "never say never";)

[kchenault]

That's a great website. What kind of instruments are in the music? It sounds interesting. I could just listen to this to hours. It's relaxing.
