Produktbeschreibung
In the early 1900s Japan occupied Korea, imposed harsh military law, and attempted to destroy Korea's indigenous martial art, Taekeon. Master Kija and his small band of students practiced Taekeon in the small village of Sinuju, on the slopes of Korea's sacred Mt. Paektu, which straddled China's border. Master Kija was one of four Taekeon Masters throughout Korea that knew the ancient sacred circle, the Taeguek, was hidden deep within the caverns of Mt. Paektu. Suddenly, Japanese soldiers flooded Sinuju, threw villagers from their homes, and began plundering and probing for treasure. Master Kija realized, belatedly, that the Japanese Emperor suspected the location of the Taeguek. To his boundless sorrow, Master Kija accepted that he must put his young charges in great, perhaps mortal, peril, to save the Taeguek circle. They would have one source of help. Each child could use the spirit and power inherent in the Taeguek kwaes to escape the soldiers, save themselves, and save the sacred circle.
Autorenporträt
Master Hartley was introduced to the Martial Art discipline of Taekwondo when she ferried her grandchildren to the Big Sky dojang and sat through their classes three days a week. As a retired history instructor she was drawn to the culture and ethos of Korean martial arts. As a lifelong jogger, she craved a renewed gratification of physical exertion. She joined a beginning class and the martial arts culture claimed a major role in her life. When she earned her first Black Belt, Grandmaster Noyes and Master Noyes offered her the chance to help instruct Taekwondo classes. She continues to teach and is grateful to work with the gifted young instructors of Big Sky Martial Arts and the aspiring athletes. Master Hartley also referees in Montana tournaments, which allows her edifying interaction with other dojangs and students. She calls herself a "perennial" student and earned her Fourth Degree Black Belt in 2014. Her little story, "Yadool", fulfills an ardent desire to enlighten students and interested persons to the enriching Taekwondo principles and spirit.
