Does anyone have any advice for an american woman going on a first “date”/ social outing with a Korean man?

The man I’m referring to is new to this country and I initiated everything by asking him to a party. He is my son’s Tae Kwon Do intructor and my Tai chi instructor. I felt there was an attraction between us, but was pretty sure he assumed I was married because I have a child. When I found out he wasn’t married I found the nerve to ask him out. I figured a social atmosphere was the safest bet concidering he hasn’t been in America very long and there is a language and culture barrier. At any rate, he accepted my inviation without hessitation. As far as I can tell he was flattered and surprised by the invitation. I don’t know much about Korean culture much less dating so I could use any advice on this upcoming “adventure”! Thanks.

Used to be a great site to watch a demo of tai chi 24 yang style, now cant find it??

I think it was in a web site called tai chi america, or american tai chi…or something similar. It had a master performing various techniques that you could watch. Was very good, however no longer able to find it-Anyone know where this is?
Many thanks

Is there a martial art that could be considered “American”?

I’ve always wondered that.

Brazil has BJJ and Capoeria, the UK has catch wrestling and Queensbury boxing, France has Savate, China has wushu, Isreal has krav maga, Korea has TKD and Hapkido, Japan has Karate, Judo and many other arts, Thailand has Muay Thai, and Indonesia has Penjak.

However, for a country that’s 230 years old and has had much conflict in its history, there seems to be no martial art that could be considered truly “American”.

The 2 arts that could probably be considered the closest to being considered American martial arts would be “Dirty Fighting” (Which are simply banned Queensbury boxing rules and a few rudimentry wrestling moves combined) and American Kempo, which has a philosiphy that is American, but it’s hardly a widespread art in this country as TKD is in Korea and BJJ and Capoeria is in Brazil.

If I’m sounding ignorant about other fighting styles that are taking root in the USA, please correct me. Thank you :)
