The stories abound:
the Vietnam years the drinking fests
the starving early years of college
the TKD demo far the Vanderbilt board of trust
the way he'd judge a tournament match
the time he did this or that technique in class
the displays of temper
the times he's shown his paternal side, giving advice, offering assistance
the lessons we picked up on without words.

JUST KICK; JUST PUNCH; JUST FIGHT!!!! -Mr. Haw

Perhaps the "Do" in Tae Kwon Do is the "do" in "Just Do It."

Mr. Haw Tae Whae

Sah Bum Nim

Yes, father, patriarch, male figurehead for the family, the Family of Tae Kwon Do students.
