Respect for PaSaRyu Il Dan

Oh, the joy of Pasaryu Il Dan. Every move-devastating. Every move requiring the orchestrated participation of the WHOLE body. Each move begging to be repeated, over and over again until all facets are coordinated to produce maximum effect through the weapon dictated: the Hahk Doo, the Soo Kum Chee, the Jun Soo, the Mae Soo, the Jhun Kwon, the Pahl Kum Chee, the Hoo Kwon, the Soo Doe, the Chaang Soo, the Yup Cong.
I'm sore, but not poor. I just got through mining all that GOLD!

A proficient instructor will guide, not lead. A leader produces followers. A Guide will produces more proficient instructors.

Is IL Dan an original creation by Master Rhee, or did it come from somewhere else like our other forms?
I've always wondered that.

Master Rhee said he wanted to create a form emphasizing hard and soft....namely hard tools on your body against soft targets on your opponents body. We used to call it PaSaRyu Dan Jahk.
