Clinton News-Record, 1983-05-18, Page 16PAGE I6--CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESI:':Y Rod's Report on Sp rts Islanders pull plug on Oilers y IN eel Hilts Sports Editor ..The Islanders sweep and the Oilers weep". The sign hanging in Nassau Coliseum best exemplified the Islanders four game domination of the Edmonton Oilers. The difference in the series was defence, primarily the goaltending of Billy Smith. He was up. He was down. Smith was everywhere the Oilers shot. Acting like a man possessed, Smith swatted the Edmonton crew out of the vicinity of the net like they were pesky insects. The Edmonton press came down on Smith like a hard core criminal. The Edmonton Journal labelled their front page with the heading "Public Enemy Number One" in spite of Smith. It's ironic that in the final game of the series Smith drew Glenn Anderson into taking a five minute penalty for slashing, while in Edmonton Smith was accused of slashing both Gretzky and Anderson. In this case Smith gets the last laugh. Anderson was parked on the lip of the crease during an Edmonton powerplay in the third period when the incident occurred. Anderson's stick grazed Smith, sending the latter into a 9.5 dive toward an Academy Award. Referee Andy VanHellemond saw the "incident" and signalled a five minute major to Anderson for slashing, intent to injure. In an interview with Hockey Night in Canada Smith said that he though the people in Canada would be "turn'in over in their beds" when they found out that he had won the Conn Smythe trophy for the Most Valuable Player in the playoffs. He called his dive "a chapter out of Gretzky's book." His final words in the interview were "1 just want the people in Canada to know, two can play at thatgame." In any case Smith did a class job in the nets for the four time Stanley Cup winners. He was the difference in the series. Everybody's asking the question, "What happened to that Gretzky magic?" In the series Gretzky was held scoreless and picked up only four assists. A tremen- dous team effort is what happened to the wonder kid. Once across the Islander blueline, the New York team swarmed to Gretzky like bees to honey. They cut down the Oiler passing up the middle and cleared out the slot ( with the help of Smith's goal stick ). • Thanks to the Islanders sweep over Edmonton, Rod's Report on Sports finishes the playoffs with a 12-3 record. In the summer months look for my predictions of the CFI. race and the World Series. YI8,1 t�S y Rod Hll te club stresses When walking throu the doors at the Goderich Township gymnasium on Monday and Wednesday nights, be sure you're prered for the workout your life. The people in the gym on these nights aren't here for basic push-ups, sit- ups and stride -jumps, they're here to learn the Martial Arts. First of all, to set the record straight the gym is called a "Dojo" when it is used to practice karate and other forms of the Martial Arts. Instructor Ron Tyn- dall, 32, of Holmesville, has been operating the school for a year and a half and presently has 25 students enrolled in his program. He teaches his students "Shorinrgu," a hard style of karate. Hard meaning the students are taught to kick and punch harder, with the use of 50 per cent hands and 50 per cent feet. Kung fu, on the other end of the Martial Arts scale, is softer, which means the motions are much slower and are done with more of a "flicking action." According to Henk Gerrits, 31, a native of Goderich, who is enrolled in the course, the origin of the Martial Arts stems back to over 2,000 years ago when the people from mainland China took all of the weapons from the Islanders of Okinawa. The natives, grasping for some type of self defense, engaged in different forms of karate. When enrolled in the Goderich Township Karate School, the first thing a be;. ginner learns is how to bow. Bowing shows respect in being able to workout by using the Martial Arts. Showing respect is the first step to achieving self- ol'scipline. Revolutionary new.

He says the students get of the above "along with a a iscip little bit of self-defence." The courses start up every 10 weeks.

Some only stay for one night and decide they don't like it," said Mr. Tyndall. Mr. Tyndall holds :1:e coveted black belt in karate, which took him about seven years to earn. Throughout his teaching sessions he can be heard shouting words of encouragement, "Be patient and don't give up. Martial Arts is for any age and you all have an equal chance to be good at it." Out of the 25 students enrolled in the school, 14 hold color belts. Beginners start out by earning a white belt and advance as follows: yellow, orange, green, blue, brown and finally to black. Every belt level has a certain amount of "kudas" that are required before the student receives his belt. A Ude is a series of moves attacking and defending against an imaginary op- ponent or opponents. The highest ranking belt, next to Mr. Tyndall in the Goderich Township club, belongs to Layton Cudmore and Henk Gerrits, who both earned their green belts with Pearson's Karate School in Goderich. Why join a karate club? It's a question a lot of the students are asked? "Mainly because it's a good workout. It's a good way to stay in shape," said 21 -year-old Jennifer Ren- shaw of Goderich, "with the number of women getting attacked these days, a women stands a better chance if she knows karate." Ms. Renshaw has been enrolled in the school for about a month and has earned a white belt. She definitely recommends that other women take the course. are welcome to come out and try their Duck `o�n�the track. esulj Rts The second round of the Ontario High Point Challenge was held on Sunday, May 15 at Hully Gully.

He says his goal is to obtain the IA ck belt and become a karate instructor. bight now I'm at about the mid -point to earning the ack. Martial Arts is not easy. Once you set a goal you have to work toward it. They don't just hand out the belts, you have to earn them," said Mr. Gerrits. Mr. Gerrits recommends nfi the course but cautions "na;; everyl.•,tdy can do it, it t .:,es discipline.'' Discipline and respect are evident while watching the students go through their warm-ups. The students all respond to instructor Tyn- dall's opening command "ske," which means at- tention. Next Mr. Tyndall instructs his students to forget about the good and bad things that happened ence during the day and that a.r the next hour and a half, they're at the gyre to 1c:r•n Marti ::I Arts.
