| Post 9/11 Taekwondo |
Not only should we not forget what happened on 9/11, we must also remember what the passengers on each aircraft went though before impact. We must mentally place ourselves in those situations and think about what we might do in a similar situation. Then, if we are on an aircraft and a person stands and says he is hijacking the aircraft, we must immediately attack and kill that person—if we die trying, then so be it. If there is another hijacker, another passenger must take him out, etc. We all must take immediate action, not wait until the terrorists have the upper hand.
Suppose United 93 had a group of Taekwondo black belts aboard who were returning from a competition. What do you think they would have done during the hijacking? First off, most of the so-called “black belts” would probably be children or teenagers. There would be some adults, but many of them would probability be useless has-beens. Of the few black belts remaining, how many would have the training and guts to do what would be necessary to take out the terrorists?
If facing a killer intent on killing you, what would you want in your hand, a plastic replica of a .45 caliber pistol or a real .45 caliber pistol? The replica looks similar to a real pistol and it performs the same actions as a real pistol, but it uses air to fire tiny relatively harmless BB pellets. The real pistol is made of hardened steel and fires bullets that kill. Most black belts are only replicas of warriors; they look real but they are not capable of killing.
If we are to defeat an enemy that lives among us and pretends to be one of us, but is just waiting for an opportunity to kill us, then the games must end! The martial arts, Taekwondo included, must stop being merely sports taught to children while pretending to be martial arts. They must return to their roots and again become REAL MARTIAL ARTS that are capable of defeating the enemy.
