    (Ko-dang 고당 Ko-Dang)

    As far as Yeon-Gae (연개, or Yon-gae ) goes, I think that Yeon-Gae is a more exact spelling than Yong-Gae is... the Korean name is Yeon Gae ( a famous general) and even though the "g" sound seems like it attaches to both syllables, it doesn't. So, in my opinion, the Romanization on the legacy site and the ITF Information site is a bit incorrect. (And if it's directly from the "encyclopedia", I'd have to say it may be a misspelling there as well.)

    Plus, the term "Yong-gae" has a bit of a different meaning in conversational Korean... sort of like "hot young lady!" :D

    I'll admit that we used to pool our money together, buy his videos, and watch in awe. Especially him breaking those bricks with the fist. Amazing. I wonder if he ever upgraded them to DVDs.

    I think he did... we have the videos but one of our students that recently ordered one (the Taegeuk forms) received it on DVD. They tend to be a bit pricey but are well worth it!
