The Art of Forgiving

by

0


Some might consider it strange that I post this article here in a taekwondo blog like this. But the truths therein are so powerful and liberating that I would consider myself thoughtless if  I do not share.


Author Unknown

  1. The most creative power given to the human spirit is the power to heal the wounds of a past it cannot change.
  2. We do our forgiving alone inside our hearts and minds; what happens to the people we forgive depends on them.
  3. The first person to benefit from forgiving is the one who forgives.
  4. Forgiving happens in three stages: we rediscover the humanity of the person who wronged us; we surrender our right to get even; and we wish that person well.
  5. Forgiving is a journey; the deeper the wound, the longer the journey.
  6. Forgiving does not require us to reunite with the person who broke our trust.
  7. We do not forgive because we are supposed to; we forgive when we are ready to be healed.
  8. Waiting for someone to repent before we forgive is to surrender our future to the person who wronged us.
  9. Forgiving is not a way to avoid pain but to heal the pain.
  10. Forgiving someone who breaks a trust does not mean that we give him his job back.
  11. Forgiving is the only way to be fair to ourselves.
  12. Forgivers are not doormats; to forgive a person is not a signal that we are willing to put up with what he or she does.
  13. Forgiving is essential; talking about it is optional.
  14. When we forgive, we set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner we set free is ourselves.
  15. When we forgive we walk in stride with our forgiving God.

Intensive Poomsae Training

A few new faces joined in the poomsae training last Sunday. Muhammad Suhaiyl Hamdi, 11, a red belter, who hails from Shah Alam was one of them. It was really encouraging to see such a young one like him, training with the team with such great determination even though it was his first day.

It was already the 3rd week of intensive training for most of them under the watchful eye of the coach, Mr. Tan Kien Tat. Learning the basic executions the correct way through repetitive drills may seem monotonous to some, but not to them. They are bent on mastering the right moves in all the Taegueks, from 1 to 8, and later the senior patterns as well.

The PSPST recently organized a hi-tea party for members on 12th of December 2011 at Port Klang Golf Club. And what a way to bade farewell to 2011! The event was attended by almost 50 guests including the Master, Mr. and Mrs. Leong Yong Wah themselves. Organizing chairman , Mr. Kim Dreyer said that the attendance was above expectations as the committee has targeted only 30 guests. The party started at 5.00p.m. and even a heavy downpour did not dampen the spirits of the guests. The children

enjoyed the most as there were many games organized and they even had a great time playing golf at the driving range.

During the party, the committee also discussed about their plans to organize ‘Adopt A Poor Child PER Family” program whereby each parent can sponsor a talented poor child for his/her Taekwondo training program. The idea was met with a tremendous response from the parents where about 12 families agreed for the sponsorship and more to follow.

The party also saw new faces elected to the committee for 2012.

  • Madam President 1st half year: Charmaine
  • Madam President 2nd half year: Vicky
  • Secretary: Rajes
  • T-shirt: Ropathy and Ali
  • Shop: Ms Patma
  • Accountant: Kim

Finally many thanks to those who made PSPST a success in 2011 namely, Kim, Vicky, Charmaine, Leong, Ropathy, Kala, Kumar, Rajes and the cool and talented children who also a played a great part to this committee. Adios 2011 and see you all in 2012!

HAIL POWER SPORT! HAIL PSPST!

Thank You,

Chi Liung Center Klang, 2012

by

0


Mandy and Mae Yuen had been training in the Chi Liung Center for at least 6 to 7 years now. Both are training hard as they are preparing themselves to go for their 2nd Dan test this coming April. Both have made remarkable improvement in terms of power and basic executions, but they are not about to ease up in their training schedule. They know what grueling test lies before them, and they want to get themselves in the best shape possible to face the challenges ahead.

One of the challenges they have to face is to spar with two partners instead of the usual one. Board breaking is the next. They have no qualms in breaking the boards with any techniques at all, but thinking about the sparring part with 2 partners  can make them quite jittery at times because it would be a completely different experience all together.

The challenge does not stop here. In fact, before the test, they have to do a physical which include a 2.4 km run, pushups, sit-ups, leg-raises, hyper-extension and squat jumps. Of course, all these will be done a day or two earlier.

Another member worth mentioning is Daniel Chee. Ever since, he joins the center training a year or two ago, my wife and I have noticed a significant improvement in his kicks. Syabas, Daniel, keep it up!

See here, how they train together with other fellow members every Friday, from 8.00 pm to 9.30 pm.

SMK Seksyen 9, Shah Alam, 2012

A decade has passed since the formation of the SMK Seksyen 9 Taekwondo Club. Since then, names have risen among our ranks and honour has been bestowed upon our school more than a few times. Following that, our members have been steadily increasing and on this year of 2012, our numbers reached a point unlike any year before.

Moreover, we owe a big appreciation to our stern yet loving instructor, Master Leong for the knowledge, discipline and the mentality of a martial artist he instilled in us. Although, we are not the best-mannered students in the world, Master Leong and Mr. Yap Ping Hong handle us with patience and teach us this awesome korean martial art earnestly. They set the perfect example for us in achieving excellence, both physically and mentally.

To our new members, welcome; to our old and committed members, welcome back! To the latter, a great thank you is offered as well. Another year full of fun and excitement as well sore limbs awaits you… Our Taekwondo training starts at 8.15 Saturday morning.
