The more the mind is shown a stimulus nmd adidas the more it is accustomed to it and unfazed it becomes "normal" just like any other everyday event it has experienced. People have been picking up sticks to beat each other since time immemorial, but the joong bong, the Korean Middle staff, is something really special in the world of martial arts. This is the most commonly taught weapon in the Korean martial art of Kuk Sul Won, though tournaments and ease of use have brought the joong bong into other arenas, like Tae Kwon Do. I got my first look at joong bong technique a few years ago, when I was interviewing one of the advanced students at a Kuk Sool Won school in Milwaukee. She was giving me the run down on the basic kicking and striking techniques used when something caught my eye.

Often within a martial arts school it is taught that 'this particular system is the best system and it was created to beat all the others'. Of course every martial artist would have the viewpoint their style is the best because that is the style they have chosen to do, but in reality what they are saying is adidas eqt 'this is the best style for me as it suits my temperment and I like the teaching environment'.

As I thought it over, the conviction grew that this boy may have actually believed there was an available shortcut. And that was worrisome. Because I've found that the more kids find themselves feeling on the outs from success, the more such shortcuts will seem acceptable, even normal. So what might I take from this episode to make me better at working with and helping kids? I believe this street-wizened teen learned that he would have to work for his martial arts achievements--and maybe others as well--but also that he could be successful by doing so. He didn't need a shortcut. He was capable. And as simple as this sounds, there are many, many teens out there who don't believe they are capable. They may appear normal to adults, or even peers, but many teens feel a sense of deep failure in one or more area of life.

What a great challenge--and opportunity--for those of us who work with them, whether in the martial arts studio, the classroom, a church or civic setting, or across the dinner table. Bruce Lee did more than blaze the movie screens with powerful, lightning quick punches and kicks.
