Taekwondo Life

Taekwondo is all about martial arts but for me it's all about my freedom, discipline,friendship and respect. Taekwondo gave me the life that anyone couldn't. I came to taekwondo rather late in life.  I never thought of myself as a fighter rather more of a peacemaker and facilitator.  I had played many American sports growing up, mostly basketball my favorite.  When I was 46 or so, my wife began practicing aikido.  She would come home and say, “Let me show you this!”  I finally began taking aikido in order to defend myself against her!  While aikido has a defensive philosophy, one practices dynamically with a partner.  One night I was thrown awkwardly and was injured and on crutches for several weeks.  About that time some of my colleagues at the university invited me to come to taekwondo.  At the time I could barely touch my knees bending over, and although I’d run two ten mile races, was not in good shape.    My training began slowly.  I teach at university and consult so I have a busy schedule with lots of travel.   Gradually I began coming more often.  I enjoyed the discipline, the exercise, the people, and the increased confidence I felt after training.  I remember very well the red belt who taught my wife and me our first taekwondo class.  Over the years, I came as often as I could, not nearly as much as many, but I continued to come.  Red belt seemed SO far away, black almost impossible.  I saw some of my new friends advance.  I remember our chief instructor’s first dan test when he gave his age in hexidecimal and my friend Gilbert’s first class teaching adults.  Gilbert’s wife, Theresa, is tiny but she would kill us in class.    After nine years, in August, 2006, I received a letter from the kyosanims inviting me to test for first dan.   It came as a shock and a surprise, but I was elated.  It was one of my major goals in life and finally it was coming up soon.  Kyosanim John also invited me to train with Master Kwon in Portland, Oregon, and I agreed to go.  But first I had several professional activities involving my responsibilities in our MBA program and with my consulting clients.    On September 2, 2006, I was in Istanbul, Turkey.  I had completed two days of consulting for a client and had spent an additional day sightseeing.  The Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque were amazing.  That evening out walking I was descending a flight of stairs and suddenly, my legs simply gave way.  I heard a loud “pop, pop, pop” and my right knee collapsed.  As I tried to catch myself with my left leg, it too collapsed.  I was lying flat out, in a lot of pain, unable to move, and no one spoke English.    Eventually some bystanders sent me to a hospital.  The next day the orthopedic surgeon did an MRI and confirmed that I had ruptured both quadriceps tendons.  We agreed I would return home for the surgery.  He fitted me with locking leg braces so I could with the help of a walker and pain pills “walk” stiff legged for a few steps.  After two and a half days, I got home and saw my orthopedist.  He had a busy schedule, so I had to wait a week for surgery; that was the longest week of my life waiting and realizing that every passing minute things were getting worse.    I’d never heard of this kind of injury before, so I searched on the web.  I couldn’t find much, so I began to post a diary/blog of my experiences hoping it would help others.  About ten others worldwide contacted me with similar stories.  One man ruptured his walking down a slope on a golf course.   Another ruptured his playing tennis.  Another did his simply by stepping off a curb.

Echoing Whispers

Prologue** In the heart of a quiet suburban neighborhood, nestled beneath the shade of ancient trees and whispered secrets, there stood an apartment building like no other. Its brick facade exuded timeless charm, and its windows bore silent witness to the passage of years, each pane holding a story, a memory, a shadow of what had come before. Within these walls, the winds of time whispered, and the echoes of the past lingered like ghostly apparitions. The residents who had called this place home had known joy, sorrow, and secrets too heavy to bear. And there was one room, a room unlike any other, that held its own dark history. A room with walls that had witnessed the unraveling of lives, the birth of mysteries, and the awakening of malevolent forces that should have remained dormant. As a new family, the Gabrys, arrived with dreams of a fresh beginning, they could not fathom the horrors that lay hidden, dormant, and yearning for release. In the room that beckoned to their eldest daughter, Gabriella, there was a sinister presence waiting to engulf them all in a chilling embrace. The past had woven a tapestry of terror within these walls, and the Gabrys were about to discover that some secrets are better left undisturbed, some echoes should never be awakened, and some nightmares should never be lived. In the midst of new beginnings, the past was about to rewrite its dark tale, one that would test the bonds of family, sanity, and the very fabric of reality itself. As the Gabrys unpacked their lives within these walls, little did they know that the apartment complex bore witness to a darkness that refused to be forgotten. It was a darkness that had endured through the ages, and it was a darkness that was about to claim its newest victims.
