Fantastic. Do you have his lost mokuroku? I've seen a picture of Gen. Choi at the Shotokan. But not his dan certificates. Pax, Chris
He was never given any scrolls from Takeda Sensei. And that picture isn't of the Shotokan.

I'm sure he told you that
Did you ask Dr. Kimm why he misidentified it, then?
Never spoke to GM Choi.
Never spoke to Dr. Kimm about that photo. But there are lots of photos of the Shotokan from that era. That looks more like a high school class picture more than a shot of students at the Shotokan.
But oddly, in your previous post you said it wasn't the Shotokan. Now you're saying it "looks" like a high school class picture "more than" a picture taken in the Shotokan. I thought you knew.
I think it is a reading comprehension issue. Try reading it again and maybe again.
Every time I see your name on a post, I keep hoping I am going to read something that shows original effort, or personal experience, or something, anything, that came from you, instead of someone else.
I guess I have to wait a little longer. The ten fold thing really does serve as a bright line between the haves and have nots. I can instantly tell which side of the line people fall on just by reading their posts. And I think everyone else can see it too, now that it has been pointed out to them.
:lol: If you say so, brother. Frankly, I have noticed that your posts aren't exactly marked by good prose. Reading your stuff is a bit like reading someone who has nothing better to do than tell people who awesome they are :lol:
Oh, I sure that's exactly what you hope for when you read my posts, Glenn :lol: Of course if you bothered to actually read my posts you'd see that stuff :lol:
Wow, it must be awesome to be as awesome as you are, Glenn. Maybe one day the rest of us will be able to judge the kind of people others are simply based on some posts they make on an internet forum :lol:
I think, however, the most awesome thing about you is that you can type the kind of things in your posts such as the one to which I'm replying and apparently take them seriously (and expect others to do so, as well) :lol: Pax frater,
Chris
If you two want to get personal, take it to PM please.

It's not personal for me, but it's obviously personal for him. One question for you though, who have you learned more from, chris or I? Because to me, that's what it should really be about, learning.
While I very much appreciate your insights, I make it a practice to avoid directly comparing the overall value of one site member's posts to those of another site member.
If that's how you comprehend my posts, then frankly that is your problem.
I do try to read your posts. But I also have to admit that I often times don't finish.
I don't know about all of that, but I do think people can see the difference between my posts and yours.
Ok, note to self, don't take chrispillertkd's posts seriously. Got it kid.
It's not personal for me, but it's obviously personal for him.
Hey, we've made it a page and a half without some KarateMom/Puunui bickering. Got to be some kind of record.
Yes there is no real proof of anyone's connection to Taek Kyon. It was a folk game that had all but disappeared in Korea. It means push shoulder. The Taek Kyon Master that was made a human cultural asset by Korea for keeping this folk game alive stated that he couldn't even find 1 person that he could demonstrate with. The later Taek Kyon leaders that revitalized this Korean tradition went on record saying that no one from TKD consulted them & that they had not played a part in helping to create TKD, any form or style of TKD.Actually there is no real proof of his Taekkyon connection. In fact there is supposedly a recording of him stating he never learned it or someone high up in the Taekkyon food chain saying he never learned. it. As for his Karate it is still speculative in some circles to what rank he received overall.
I am sorry as I don't look at these exchanges as "bickering", nor have I posted anything negative or attacked anyone in any way. I will not get personal & I will continue to post with courtesy.Seems chrispillertkd has taken up the baton on that one. Someone told me the issue seemed to be jealousy, and someone else said it was more envy. Personally, I think it is envy.
