I also look at my leadership in the Chung Do Kwan Alliance and the various methodologies they represent. 5th Dan Don Richardson also has 5th Dan in Judo, and rank in Shotokan, Juijitsu, and Tai Jutsu, and he has incorporated some of these techniques into his Chung Do Kwan training. 5th Dan Steve Glass, has rank in Aikido and he teaches concepts he has learned from Aikido. Although primarily we are a kicking oriented art, my training under 3rd Dan Ron Squibb has included breakfalls, throws, sweeps, grappling, joint-locks, and ground kicking. Oh, before I continue, I must state that this essay is not an official statement but merely my attempt to express what my training represents.
Class is always pretty formal.
With students bowing into and out of the do-chang, to their instructor, their partners etc. And we have a pretty standard way of running class. Spread out for forms, bow to instructor. Two lines for sparring drills. Bow to partner after each drill.
