  • A family of taekwondo instructors were able to save a woman from an attack in the Cypress area on Tuesday, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
    Gonzalez said instructors from the Yong-In Tae Kwon Do dojo sprung into action when they heard some commotion going on next door.
    Simon An, 20, told KHOU 11 News that he was grateful his family's martial arts skills could help.
    "You wouldn’t really expect it in an everyday situation, but when the time comes, it’s very valuable," Simon An said.

      @zapikachu Před 4 dny

      dojang, dōjō, wuguan, võ đường, akhara, gelanggang, sansaran, heya, kalari, etc. it's all just martial arts training halls. Japan does have specific dōjōs for stuff like aiki-dō, jū-dō, karate-dō, etc. But in Japan, they consider ANY place of physical training (like an MMA gym) as a dōjō. So if they are going off of Japanese terminology, a dojang is just another type of dojo.

    Mr Ahn, I hope his injuries aren't too bad & he recovers. He really is a hero!
    The women were very thoughtful & kind to care for the lady until first responders arrived.
    The whole family were able to do it all - call for help, stop the attack & subdue the violent offender, remove the survivor from the scene.
    These are the kind of people you want to live and work next to. Good people.
    I hope lots of young people hear about this story and maybe give Taekwondo a chance. Its a very good martial art with many personal benefits.

    Imagine talking about a KOREAN MARTIAL ARTS spot and calling it a "dojo", which is for Japanese martial arts. How embarrassing - it's called "dojang" for Taekwondo.
    Thankful to have caring people like the instructors, though.
