Helpers of this site

There are many helpers for this site. Of course, all the people who visit this site are all helpers, which might sound like talking politicians.^^

Any way, I'd like to introduce my friends who helped building this site in more direct ways. They helped me translating some articles in some repect while their helps increased me really much to build up and concentrate my time and passion on this site. I began this site to serve many people some infos of TKD to rather find that there are many good friends in Taekwondo world.

Now I'm afraid whether I can do more to them than they have done to me, even later...

Francois

He is helping this site translating PPT into French. It would have been impossible to even imagine to construct french version of PPT without his help.

Francois is chartered accountant in Canada . In Canada, this mean a licenced accountant. It is possible for him to perform audit in companies and issue an audit report on financial statements. He is 41 years old. He did Taekowndo in 1985-6 and began 1998 with his son Vincent and step daughter Anne-Marie. His Taekwondo teacher is Mario Dudemaine 4 Dan, who is very humble and lives trought very much and a friend fo Francois. Francois helps him recruting new students. He finds every merits of Taekwondo with others one by one, making them a part of his life.

A part site(Meditation) was designed to thank for his help on this site. For he said he meditates sometimes especially when he meets some problems in practice of TKD. You can visit the page ; Hobby>Meditation.

I'm from Spain and I'm 30 years old. I work as Analyst of Computers. I started with Taekwondo in 1984, I was 15 years then and now I' m 3 Dan. My sabomnim is Jun Young Tai (Korean) and is 8 Dan. He's a big authority of the Taekwondo in Spain and he is one of the firsts who introduced it in Spain. Now I'm learning Tai-Chi with the master Pedro Valencia (style Chen) since a half year before. I think that Taekwondo must learn a lot about the philosophy of Tai-chi. Here in Spain (or all the West?) the masters of TKD only teaches how to fight, not the philosopy. I am very happy to read the PPT, because now I can gain more with practice.

I will thank to my wife Maria for she helped me translating these pages into spanish and also to my masters for the patience that they have had with me. Thank you very much.

(The webmaster of this site also thanks to those who have helped you!!)
