    "I began training in Tae Kwon Do, at J. Pat Burleson’s KOREAN WAYS martial arts school in January, 1965. At that time, the KOREAN WAYS school was located in the World Health Studios, on East Belknap, in Ft. Worth, Texas. Next door, in the same building, was an "after hours" club, called the EASTSIDE CLUB. This club was well known around Ft. Worth as a very rough place. It provided an interesting backdrop and an exciting atmosphere for a karate school. I saw my first practical application of martial arts in the parking lot of this club. If I am to tell the whole truth, or most of it anyway, some of those "demonstrations" actually took place inside the club. Of course, no one from our karate school was ever involved. (Let me know if you believe that.)

    At the time I joined KOREAN WAYS, most of the classes at the Belknap location were taught by Mr. Ronnie Moffett, one of Mr. Burleson’s Black Belts. Mr. Moffett was a fine instructor, and a demanding taskmaster. To this day, I am still very much aware of the influence Mr. Moffett had in the foundation on which my martial arts skills are built. I will never forget him.
