Tae kwon do
continued from page 1
in spring 2001, an attempted
rape in January, and three inci
dents in two weeks this term of
campus public masturbation re
ports — this workshop is a start
for interested participants to be
come educated.
“The workshop will be empow
ering for everyone who attends,”
King said. “I would like people to
come away from the seminar with
the realization that they have the
tools to defend themselves. One of
the primary tools comes from self
confidence.”
Club volunteers will lead the
workshop through partner exercis
es, which in addition to allowing
the attendees to practice on skilled
athletes will provide them with
the opportunity to make new
friends. This weekend’s seminar
will focus primarily on women be
cause King said women are the
most common victims of date rape
and sexual assault.
“Men are usually mugged by oth
er men — not women,” King said,
adding that men can acquire valu
able skills from the workshop also.
The workshop is open to all
University students, staff and fac
ulty. Kristie Gibson, a member of
the club and recent graduate of the
School of Law, said many of the
moves, such as knee kicks, become
natural with practice.
“We’ll focus on vocalization —
how to yell,” she said. “You can’t
be afraid to yell.”
Since she joined the club in
1993, she said her tae kwon do
skills — at the high red-belt level
— have helped her to feel more
empowered in the event that she
would have to use physical force
against someone, and the exercises
aide in relieving stress too.
The club, funded through
fundraisers and student fees, is
composed of about 20 to 25 stu

Self-defense tips:
■ Go places with a friend. Oon't walk
alone tale at night. Call Project
Saferide ora friend for a ride.
U Don’t wear headphones while
exercising at night.
■ Walk with your head upright, and
with a confident posture instead df
looking at the ground.
■ Say hello or greet people who walk
past you.
■ If someone is walking behind you,
take a different path, or turn around
and face them.
■ Don't walk in the Pioneer Cemetery
alone at night
■ Scream first—most of the time it
witl scare the attacker away.
The art of taekwondo:
■ tt’s a Korean sport that’s more than
2,000 years old.
■ The highest belt level of this sport is
black, of which there are 10 degrees.
However, the 10th degree is reserved
for the creator of the art, and nobody
can attain this degree.
■The modern style of this sport is
constantly being modified to find
better ways for participants to defend
themselves.
■Tae kwon do differs from other
martial arts in both offense and
defense tactics.

dents, and members practice two
times a week and on weekends.
King, who has a third degree
black belt, said no matter what lev
el of belt students wear or which
form of martial arts they know, it is
important that they “bow, shake
hands and introduce themselves
every time.”
But he said that this more mod
ern expression of communication
in tae kwon do differs from more
traditional forms of martial arts.
King, who has been with the
club since 1991, encouraged
those interested in self-defense to
attend the workshop, but he sug
gested they enroll after the work
shop is over in a related class of
fered by the University or in the
local community. He said tae
kwon do may not be the right fit
for the individual, but-additional
instruction can help participants
to continue to improve the skills
they will take away from the
workshop.
“I want to be able to see people
come in and know they can defend
themselves and improve on that,”
he said.
King, who volunteers as the
coach for the club and is an adjunct
physical education instructor, said
he takes pleasure in seeing mem
bers of the club improve. He added
that he tries to educate members so
that they know rapes and attacks
will happen if people don’t know
how to fight back.
“Women are not defenseless,”
King said. “There is not such thing...
Women can kick my butt, I kid you
not.”
King said the high-energy club has
the benefits of friendships with peo
ple from diverse backgrounds as well
a physical skills and conditioning.
Admission to the workshop is $5
at the door, and no experience is
necessary to attend. The workshop
is being presented in association
with the Student Recreation Center,
Club Sports and the Women’s Cen
ter. For more information, contact

Snow
continued from page 1
Subsequent storms dumped a
mixture of rain and snow from 1
to 2 p.m. and intermittent rain
from 2 to 3:45 p.m. The University
saw a barrage of ice pellets for
about 10 minutes during that
time. Meteorologist Jack Bohl said
ice pellets are smaller than hail
and are often localized.
Thursday’s snow advisory ex
tends in a wedge from Roseburg
north to Canada. Willis said the
heaviest accumulation in western
Oregon was in Tillamook, which
reported 3 inches of snow at 8:45
a.m. Thursday. He said NWS issues
an advisory if an inch of snow is ex
pected below 1,000 feet.
Eugene Police Department
spokeswoman Pam Alejandre said
no major accidents were reported
that could be attributed to the
brief snowfall.
The forecast calls for scattered
showers of mixed rain and snow to
day with highs in the mid 40s.
Overnight lows will push the mer
cury to between 35 and 40 degrees.
Weekend temperatures should
reach highs near 50 degrees.
