As a result, He Yee Dao will not be holding classes while we seek out alternatives. Please stay tuned for updates! Again, all classes are suspended until further notice. Thank you for your patience.</div>

Within the article there is a definition of the martial arts that is very much in line with the philosophy of the He Yee Dao Karate Association,in what we believe and strive to teach. Specifically:<br />
<br />
"THE MARTIAL ARTS are more than a sport, more than tournament fighting, more than self-defense. When taught right, they are a way of life that combines philosophical insight with physical training to create mentally strong and independent individuals who can fight frailty and weakness as well as internal enemies like doubt, insecurity, and stress"<br />
<br />
We believe the above to be true and applicable to all who join He Yee Dao, regardless of physical ability, age, size, previous experience, and personal challenges.JChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14259353022935974254noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584829243383707211.post-30909810980659401392011-08-08T08:19:00.000-07:002011-08-21T04:37:45.404-07:00Reference TextFor everyone's general information, the He Yee Dao Karate Association's primary reference source for history, a variety of skills, forms, and self defense techniques we utilize, is the book, TAE KWON DO, THE KOREAN MARTIAL ART, by Richard Chun.<br />
<br />
This book provides detailed information in narrative, pictures and diagrams of nearly all of the skills required to advance from White to Black Belt. It is not required that students purchase the book. For the students who may want to enhance their practice outside of class, this is an excellent resource.<br />
<br />
Amazon.com is the best source to explore purchase options if interested. If you would like to preview the book, see Sensei.<br />

As this is a work in progress, the Blog will continue to be refined and expanded in the future.<br />
<br />
It is our goal for the Blog to help keep current students informed of class updates, techniques utilized, self defense and to provide additional information to assist with individual practice and study outside of class. In addition it is hoped that the Blog will peek the interest and provide contact information to people who may be interested in becoming involved in the martial arts.<br />
<br />
The HE YEE DAO KARATE ASSOCIATION wishes to thank Tim Brown, who's initiative, technical expertise and patience has made the Blog possible.<br />
