I believe my greatest opponent is not the one on the horizon but its the one deep inside me , too better myself means i better my opponent without any actions.

]]> Comment on Training beyond black belt (part one) by Rob Wilson http://www.changshapkido.net/2012/01/training-beyond-black-belt-part-one/#comment-114 Rob Wilson Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:45:58 +0000 http://www.changshapkido.net/?p=982#comment-114 Tammy, Great post. Training after my Hapkido black belt was/is very difficult for me, because soon after I received it from Master Chang, our school in Florida was closed. I still sometimes train with my instructor, Tim Backus, but it isn't the same. I miss Master Chang's seminars and wisdom. It was a great atmosphere and I can't find it anywhwere else. I've been training in martial arts for thirty years and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do as well and extensive triaining in reality based combat scenarios. But, I've always felt grounded and had a real sense of belonging and purpose in Chang's Hapkido Academy. I still train and practice my techniques. Thanks Tammy. Rob Wilson Tammy,
