Talk:Son Duk-sung

suggestions for improvements to the article

I think Mrs. Son deserves a respectful mention here, perhaps including the anecdote about how she hid him from the troops sent to capture him.

Do people think there should be something about the Black Belt Summer camps 1991-2007?

The only headquarters dojang I am familiar with is the 14th St. one, but I know there were Mercer St. and 5th Ave. location prior to that. Can anyone construct a chronology of WTKDA HQ schools?

Hi Ruben,

Mr. Son would occasionally tell the story of when soldiers were sent to capture him at his home during the Korean War. Mrs. Son hid him in a secret cabinet, in the wall. My recollection of the details is fuzzy, but I think he described the cabinet as being hidden behind wallpaper that was cut with a razor blade. When confronted by the soldiers, who were very menacing with fixed bayonets, Mrs. Son remained calm and gave some story about her husband being away. Mr. Son credited her with saving his life that day.

According to my understanding of the rules of Wikipedia, it is not a place for original or personal contributions of information. Everything should be cited from somewhere else. I do not know of any place where this story is written down.

To you, my invisible friend

Every organization since the world was created has had differences between their members.

Every person may have a different point of view of certain history moments.

I have written this small Biography since “a neutral point of view” in order to keep GM Son memory and legacy.

Any selfish comment against masters' Son memory or against his family will be deleted and considered vandalism.

You should show a little bit of respect. STOP
