    The first "word" seems to be a rudimentary "Josh" (actually closer to "jas"). I commend you on the effort i hope any critical review doesn't quell your future efforts at Korean. It is not an easy translation. It is an attractive sword in that it is simple and not overly adorned. Good luck and......
    "make it sing"

    Hello all,
    Studude had the hangul that is on the scabbard correct (잣 밧가ㅟㄷㅅ)...I actually only worked the first part (Jas) the rest was places on the sword as I was not sure how to do it...My surname is Paszkiewicz...its Polish, pronounced "Pas-Kay-Vish", but in America everyone (including my family) says "Pas Ka Wits" or "Pas-Kie-Wits"...My first stab at it would be "밧 가 윗"...
    Does that make sense to anyone?

    take care all,
    --josh

    That certainly is a toughie, maybe 바스가위즈 thats about as close as i can get to Pas Ka Wits or 바스가윘스

    Becasue when written like this... 밧 가 윗 the first character (밧) would be pronounced Pat due to the constonant ㄱ following the ㅅ so it all sounds more like pat ga wit.

    ofcourse it is always open for interpretation, id like to hear someone elses view too

    The "Gene Gauss" video list is pretty awesome. The grainy black and white videos with the techniques labelled... are they available as a DVD or in some form (looks like a commercially produced reference video)?

    Wished I knew, Thomas. I haven't seen anything like those videos available through the association. I'm particularly fond of #18. The way those guys did ki cho hyung looks way better than the way I was taught it. It's so much more smooth and powerful.

    Those videos were really interesting. It is neat to see the evolution of the style from these videos to the videos of today. The audio portion really brought me back to the old filmstrips that you used to see in grade school and Jr. High School. I keep waiting for the "beep" that told the teacher to advance the slide :)

    That would be awesome if you could do that.

    What's the history of the video? Was it something formally produced and distributed?

    I always thought that that video was the video Dr. Kimm talks about making when KSN came down on the weekends to train him.

    Not much to it, when KSN came to the USA, (although he may have been sponsored by Ken Duncan) He actually flew over with 2 Kuk Sool Masters - Pak, Young Il and Pak, Myoung Goo, and I think they actually were in New Orleans, Louisiana. At that time kimm, he-young, who at the time was a HKD guy in Baton Rouge, went to visit KSN in N.O. Apparently someone happened to have a video camera there and convinced KSN, who was probably reluctant, to video these skills. The beginning of the vid shows KSN and Pak, Myoung Goo doing mon puhl ki (warm ups) (btw Pak, Myoung Goo was EXTREMELY flexible). Most of the techs on the vid were done on Pak, Myoung Goo, and some on Kimm, He Young. AFAIK it was not formally produced or distributed. FWIW it seems like it wasn't long after this time period that HYK was wearing a KSW masters uniform... apparently some corroboration had occurred. not that it matters but it's my guess that this vid was HYK's reference source for ks tech...and some one got a copy and on and on and on.........

    I know that Dr. He-young Kimm was recognized by GM Suh In Hyuk as an 8th dan in KSW (1991) and by Hapkido GM Ji Han Jae as a 9th dan in Hapkido (1990).
