Trip to Korea

[treebear]

Im going to Korea on friday to see my son. He´s been staying there for a year now in a monastir learning martial art. I´m looking foreward to see him and to check out the trees there aswell. Anybody know any treeguy in Korea? Would be great to meet someone and see how they work there. Anyway I´ll return with some photos when I return.

A monastery learning martial arts? Like Caine, in Kung Fu? Wow... how old is he and what style?

 

[treebear]

He´s 23 today. The style is traditional Korean martial art (don´t remember thr name) but includes swords, jumping and kicking, splitting stones and things like that. He´s been there a year now and has one to go on a grant given by the monastery. He has jumped into it living his dream like I guess many of us would have wanted to do one way or another.

tae kwon do?

Kind of Tae Kwon Do kalled San Mu Do. And yeah, I guess he can kick some butt. When he´s finished I´ll hire him for the summer doing removals, he won´t need a saw----. Don´t forget my request about tree guys in Korea.
