Book Recommendation: Success Through Stillness by Russell Simmons

Book Recommendation:  Success Through Stillness by Russell Simmons

May 2, 2014-  The practice of Taekwondo is one of body and mind.  At the Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy, in Levittown, NY, the development of a holistic Taekwondo practitioner and human being is a primary goal of the Academy.  To balance kicks, punches, and blocks students engage in a curriculum of written study, personal responsibility, and meditation.  

It is meditation that is the subject of Russell Simmons' new book, Success Through Stillness. Simmons is an unlikely candidate to teach meditation to those unfamiliar with his resume'; however, he is a 15 year veteran of the art of meditation, as well as yoga.  He has studied and exchanged meditation philosophies with the likes of Deepak Chopra, Oprah Winfrey, Bob Roth, Rick Ruben, and more.    He presents a intelligent, easy to read, extremely practical guide to meditation for students at any stage of their  journey.   The book is divided into several sections, including a great counter to the arguments against meditation, the history of Simmons' journey from debauchery into peaceful mediation, medical evidence supporting meditation for wellness, and a Practical Simple, STEP-by-STEP guide to mediation itself.  It is the last section that should read more than once.

I highly recommend this book for all Taekwondo practitioners looking to improve their meditation skills.

Tournament Style Scoring

APRIL 19, 2014- The Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy of Levittown, NY held its annual intramural Board Breaking Tournament earlier today and it was a tremendous success.  Students competed in divisions, in a championship style setting, with strict tournament rules.  Competitors had the opportunity to impress the judges with two rounds of creative breaking techniques in as many stations as they desired for a given period of time.  Scoring was done by a three panel group of senior Black Belts that used Taekwondo Championship scoring criteria for the event.  

The Coveted Trophies

Students praised the event as fun, educational, and useful in helping them to prepare for upcoming tournaments outside the Dojang, including the 2014 NY Open Taekwondo Championships and Korean Cultural Festival in the latter part of the year.

Esteemed Judging Panel

Prior to the event the students and their parents were treated to a world class Demonstration by TEAM YH PARK the school's elite demo team.
