As in a famuly we have te, stick tegether, te show solidarity and care. Ia order for your high school ANDERSON la todaysvoent society, self- defence tehiues, ne matter how basic, are an essential asset. An effective method of self- defence is tae kwon do. For this reason Týae Kwon Do Elite of Whitby dernonstrated sorne of their techniques for Anderson students on May 12 in the schooi gym. Instructor Troy White says that he and his students came te Anderson "te spread a better name of martial arts. It is help- fui in developiag a good persona- lity and anybody can learn with hard training and good instruc- tion.» Many curieus students came eut te watch the event and te, cheer on the demonstrators, five of them Anderson students. Leuite Miller, a green belt, received a loud round of applause for his flying side kick. Miller hurtied over a pyramid of five people and thrust his foot through a wooden board held tightly by two other demonstra- tors. Other Anderson students who are members of Tae Kwon Do Elite and who participated in the event were Adam Johnson, a blue beit; Gerald Hess, a red stripe beit; Jason Sarnaroo, a green belt; and Rick Bush, a yellow stripe belt. "Control and power" was the focus of the students as they smashed one-and-a-haif-inch- thick wooden boards with their hands and feet. White aIse did two impressive demonstrations for the audience. For one, White, while blind- folded, broke one of the wooden boards in two and then pro- ceeded te break another five, al at once, with his foot. White's second demonstration involved three cernent blocks. Al three were set up on wooden blocks on the floor where the latter put a downward knife hand strike threugh theai. The belt levels begin with white, foiiowed by yellow, green, biue, red and then aine levels of the black beit. White, who was tau ght tae kwon do at Rim Song Hac~k in Ajax, is at the third lovei of black belt. He has been instructing tae kwon do since 1986 and has been instructing in Whitby for the past two and a haif years. years to be the bcst of your life, yeu must respect the dignity cf every member of society.
