Chosun e-newsletter Archive Volume 6 #1 January 2015

Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast,
Excerpt from Jaunary, 2015 Chosun newsletter:

Stuart Anslow, editor and publisher of Totally Taekwondo Magazine
visits Chosun
December 12, 2014
CHOSUN was graced by a visit from Totally TaeKwonDopublisher, author and school owner, Master Stuart Anslow. What made this visit all the more inspiring was that Master Anslow is from the UK and chose to make CHOSUN one of his first stops while in the US. Accompanied by his lovely daughter, Chloe, just turning 18, he along with Master George Vitale, taught a highly effective class focusing on the practical applications of poomsae. Even though Master Anslow'sbackground is rooted in ITF technique, our two schools meshed seamlessly proving once again that, as Master Vitale says,"our similarities are far greater then our differences." Supporting this notion, Master Anslow in a Facebook post stated: "My recent trip to the USA confirmed something I have felt for many years, that for those that LOVE REAL Taekwon-Do or Taekwondo or Tae Kwon Do.. there is no divide, not between ITF's or Independents and most importantly between Ch'ang Hon & Kukkiwon TKD, between true TKD people, the true essence of our art transcends our differences and for all those that can't see that... you are not the cure, but the PROBLEM.. and real/true TKD DOESN'T need you!"


Stay tuned for an upcoming special seminar slated for next fall, hosted by CHOSUN, featuring Masters Anslow, Vitale & Cook, with other guest instructors.

Regarding above photo Master Anslow stated: "In this picture is Master George Vitale, Master Doug Cook and me... together (or separate) WE ARE TKD!"

Chosun Yoga - YOUR BODY, YOUR TEACHER

"Your Body, Your Teacher"

 
In the practice of yoga, we are really our best teachers. Even though we might participate in a formal class with an instructor in front of us, through diligent practice and attention, we become more and more self-aware. This, in essence is the yoga journey. On the outside, a typical yoga class might consist of executing various poses but if the practitioner pays attention to breath, energy and observes what is happening on the inside, valuable lessons are learned.

Join us and engage in self-discovery...

This week at Chosun Yoga November 19, 2014

"Your Instrument"   If you play an instrument or have ever tried, you know that you have to start with the basics...learning how to tune and take care of it. Then you might progress to learning scales, rhythm and even music theory. And then...practice, patience and perseverance! In the discipline of yoga, your body is your instrument and the comparison is a valid one. Our class this week will focus on basic seated poses, fine tuning our technique so that our instrument can sing! Join us and find your inner harmony... ANNUAL THANKSGIVING SUNRISE  MEDITATION CLASS WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 26  5:30 - 6:30AM Segue into the holiday with a session of mindful, guided meditation and qigong practice led by Chosun Instructor Jake Garrett and 3rd dan Hal Pyke.

"Breath and Bone verses Mind and Muscle"   According to Wikipedia, body alignment is "the optimal placement of the body parts so that the skeletal bones are efficiently used, so the muscles have to do less work for the same effect." But for many of us, in our zeal to achieve, the mind motivates our movement and the muscles lead the way.  This week in our yoga class we will explore the possibility that in truth, natural movement springs from the relationship between breath and bones and muscle activity plays a supportive role in that initiative.  Join us and move your bones...

"Grounded"

The idea and practice of grounding is one of the first techniques you will work with in a typical yoga class. Whether seated or standing, particular attention is paid to your foundation from which centering, alignment and breath will flow. When any human activity, whether it be physical, mental or spiritual, emanates from a strong and stable core, the resulting mobility is enhanced by the relevance to it's source.  In our seated class this week, we will experience the grounding process as a way to reconnect to our inner strength.



Join us for grounded movement...
