A Positive Attitude during a Recession? Why?

Why not? Most people will be depressed, and sad, and become more and more negative. But in tough times, that is when tough people get tough. The martial arts teaches people to be tough. To learn to challenge themselves and their environment. Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim is a great example of that. She faced great hardship in her life. She had a choice, to sink, or to rise up and succeed. People want to be around happy and positive people. Learn to be tough. Learn to be that person. Positive energy attracts positive energy. As you attract it, you then can maintain your own positive energy more. Jung SuWon Martial Arts teaches that everyday, and if you read any of Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim's books you will see that energy being taught and projected.

Read the "Seven Steps to Inner Power". Discover the great power within you.
Read the "Silent Master". Here you really learn to apply your inner power.

Make Your Own Choices- be the owner of your Life

In this world we have some things in our control, and some things we can't control. We can choose what we eat. We can choose where we live. We can choose what clothes we wear. We can choose the people we associate with.

Enjoy - the path as you drive towards your goals. Choose good, capable, and loyal people to surround you. That is heaven. That is taking control of your life.

If you lose site of this, you might find yourself surrounded by mean and devious people. There may be some short term benefits, but in the long run they will destroy your life. Eventually it will destroy everything around you, and make your life miserable.

Remember, you have the power of choice. Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim always emphasizes to surround yourself with love and honor. This is the Jung SuWon Way.

Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim also has meditation products to help you clear your mind, remove your stress, and be more peaceful. Visit Jung SuWon Academy to find more like minded people.

Jung SuWon Martial Art 79th Test Cycle Hosted by Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim

As I entered the dojang at Jung SuWon Martial Art Academy, I had very little idea what this day would be like. But when Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim appeared, I knew it would be a fabulous day. Even though she is small physically, when she walked in, it was like a giant appeared. Her presence and energy drives excitement through the students.

The parents and guests sit on the edge of their seats, as they watch their children not only overcome the physical challenges of the martial arts, but the larger emotional and mental obstacles of their life. They watch their children grow and change right in front of their eyes. They learn responsibility. They learn about a positive mental attitude. They learn about meditation, and how it can reduce stress in their lives. They learn about choosing their friends to keep them out of trouble. Most of these kids were 6-13 years old. Tears of pain and tears of joy filled the dojang, but always surrounded by the larger blanket of learning and love.

Parents spoke proudly about their children, and the children expressed their love and honor for their families. It was a 5 hr growth fest. Families grew closer to each other. Bonds between instructors and students deepen, and Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim orchestrated it all. It was a fabulous event.

It re-energized me more then ever. Not often, as a teacher, do you get to sit back and see the fruits of your labors teaching and helping others. What a fulfilling moment. Thank you Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim for brightening my life and the lives of all those people at the Testing that day. Thank you so much for letting me and all of us participate. I know I can never be as great as teacher as you, but I will aspire to all your goals and ideas.

It is a great honor to be your student. Thank you with all my heart. I will turn all that gratitude energy, into action, and increase my desire and discipline to pass on your teachings to others. Jung Su!

Foxhole Qualified?

As a Jung SuWon Warrior, look to surround yourself with people that are loyal and will not become traitors. This is not easy. Human nature will always be against you. People tend to become lazy. They are easily effected by rumors, and negative energy will attack people when they are weak and tired. Also, as people go through hard times, they will do anything they can to protect themselves, even at the expense of their friends.

As you look at stories throughout history, the reoccuring theme of traitors constantly comes up. From the times of Jesus, there was Judas.

Be careful how to choose your friends. Look for people that are foxhole qualified. People that you would trust your life with. If you can find those people, even 1, you will be truly blessed.

Also, watch yourself. Make sure you never betray those you love or respect. Be a Jung SuWon Warrior and be loyal to your purpose, your teachers, and your friends.

Foxhole qualified. That means

Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim - Courage and Focus

I remember being at many of Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim's Jung SuWon Martial Art demos. They were amazing and awesome. I always remember the impression they set upon me. I could sense something very special that I wanted in my life. Courage and Focus. Excitement and Adventure. Challenge and Acheivement. Physical Fitness and Self Defense. Ki Energy and Indomitable spirit. That is what Great Grandmaster Kim's teachings is all about. That is what Jung SuWon training is all about.

I always thought I would have to go and live in the orient. But right here in the United States, I found the best teacher and training in the world. Go USA!!!

The more I trained, the stronger and better I felt about myself. Jung SuWon training gave me many of the things I always wanted and more. Yahoo!!!

Wouldn't it look funny: A dog trying to be a bird?

When I was young in my Jung SuWon training (maybe 3 years in), I was really striving to get better and better. I wanted to be the best. At that time it is a very natural thing to compete and look at others. Some were really good at flying kicks. Other people were very flexible, and could do incredible kicks. Others could do back flips and front flips. Sometimes I would get depressed, and put myself down. But my master (Great GrandmasterTae Yun Kim) let me know, that each one of us was special and unique. And that I had to find my own strengths and courage. I remember she used to tell me, "wouldn't it be funny if you saw a dog trying to be a bird, or a bird trying to be a dog. It would be ridiculous. A dog trying to fly would be lost. Each animal has their own strength, and they have to recognize and excel at their speciality." I always remember that story, and I always remind myself. It allows me to focus on me, and not looking or judging others. God gave us each great gifts. Lets find those gifts, polish them up, and use them to better our lives, protect our loved ones, and better the lives of those around us.

Training for your benefit, not your ego...

I was in one of Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim's martial arts class in which she was going over the philosophy of the art of Jung Suwon. Grandmaster asked us, are you training for you? are you really? Or are you just training to stroke your Ego?

I said to myself, of course I am here training for myself. Why else would I be here? But then she asked if I was here to please others opinions, or was I here to really focus on my own learning and advancement? Hmm...

Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim said to me, "when you have a large # of people in the class, do you train as hard as when there are only 3 people in the class? Are you performing for others around you to see? Are you training to get a good reputation among your peers? Is it your Ego you are trying to stroke, or are you really training for you? Are you really focused on your own weaknesses and trying to improve them? So often people are quick to criticize others... For example: Oh look at them.. they are doing that wrong. or they are doing that funny, but put that all aside, and how often do you self analyze yourself. Ask yourself truly, what should I be working on? Turn the focus from judging others, and point it towards yourself. Then you will really grow and excel..."

Hmm, I sat down and thought about it deeply. At first I didn't see it. My first reaction was to be argumentative. At first I thought this is ridiculous, but the more I thought about it, the truth was there. I did let others effect me. I let their opinions matter. I often criticized others, and I rarely turned this sharp eye on myself. So it was hard to hear the truth, but Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim was completely right. This was a big step in my training to excel and learn.

Thank you Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim for sharing your Jung Suwon teachings, and for the willingness to share the hard truths with me.
