That's what saddened me. It seemed like Anthony's demons really turned a corner, at least as much as one could ever know.
Hapkido - I met master Bong Soo Han at my master's, Kichung Han's, funeral. I eventually ended up as a live in disciple in a Japanese martial and zen temple, but began my adult martial life in tae kwon do. Pretty moving, to see so many old-school masters like Bong Soo Han and others paying their respects.
As the daughter of a suicide - no one can really ever know. In terms of hapkido it kept my ex sober and he went on to teach and was invited to study in Korea - no idea if he ever did. He got more into hand to hand and teaching military. At least in today's gun culture his mantra was no no no if you can't use it properly or keep someone from disarming you - lock it up. I brought it up because it was a side I'd not heard of in his complicated life.
