What were you doing? Breaking? Or just make bad contact during sparring?
My 10-year old broke his leg at karate (we do Tang Soo Do) back in June, and
we were just doing line kicks - no contact with anything. Landed wrong,
spiral fracture...

foot contacted his on a kick.
It definitely is broken.

Cool. When did you start?
I was taking my kids and watching them, and about 3 1/2 years ago decided
that it looked like fun. So I started. Last summer, my oldest and I both
got our black belts, and this summer my daughter and next son got theirs. I
suspect that next summer, my 4th (and final) will get his, and that my
oldest and I will get our 2nd degrees...
>..and my foot contacted his on a kick.
Been there.
> It definitely is broken.
Well, that's a major bummer. Are you able to walk at all?

later. We are both green belts, he loves it, and is a frickin' prodigy at
it too. I think Ben might make blue belt by the end of the year easily. It
took him a week after earning his green belt to master his first long form.
The Master is amazed.
If this toe slows me down, I probably won't test this month for blue tips
while he will...then he for the first time will be ahead of me...
:-)
I think Martial Arts, if taught right, are a perfect family thing to do. We
have a great Master (he's a fifth degree Black Belt) and he works extremely
well with the kids.

Couldn't agree more. (My wife's very happy to have the house to herself for
a couple of hours every evening, too ;-) )
As with so many things, it depends on the people. We've got great people
running the organization, so it works very well.
The Grandmaster of our organization is an 8th degree. He's one of the
servicemen who studied at Osan in Korea in the late 60s, which is the same
place that Chuck Norris studied. (Tang Soo Do was also Norris' style.) My
teacher, who is one of the highest ranking women in the world, was just
promoted to 7th. But they're absolutely fantastic with the kids, always,
and it really sets the tone for the rest of the Masters.

Unlike TKD (especially the government sanctioned WTF), Tang Soo Do is
still a martial art IMHO. TKD and Judo have more or less have come to
emphasize the sporting aspect which is understandable I guess. When I
was stationed Korea, there were a lot of different Tang Soo or Tae Kwon
houses that emphasized the "martial" aspect (like Moo Duk Kwan, Chungdo
Kwan, Chido Kwan) but most of them are gone now. Moo Duk Kwan (those
who didn't join WTF in Park years) maintained their heritage, but it's
hard to recognize what used to be Korean style karate.
I absolutely agree with you though on the importance of the instructor.
My background is mostly Japanese arts but when my sons were getting
interested in training, the guy who was the most impressive among the
ones I checked out (not only in terms of teaching skills but most of
all in terms of character) practiced American Kenpo. It's not very
traditional by reputation but I was drawn more by how he taught the
most important things in life when it comes to martial arts. In the
long run a serious practitioner will leave the first art anyway and go
around the circle so styles just don't matter IMHO.
As for Osan, I know they had a huge TSD club on base as well as Judo
club back in the late 70's. We had a very small club in Dongduchon but
cleaned out those fancy lads from Air Farce every time we met them in
tourneys. ; ) Hard to believe nowadays with promotion fees for kids
but back then it cost 25 cents for each promotion (125won). Some TKD
instructors in the US have 12 grades before Dan which is just insane.
Back in the '60's and '70's there were five kyu or kup in Tang Soo/Su
Bak and only three grades among mudansha in Judo with white, brown and
black.
