    The Making of a Modern Myth: Inventing a Tradition for Taekwondo*

    Korea Journal, vol. 56, no. 1 (spring 2016): 61-92. © Korean National Commission for UNESCO, 2016 The Making of a Modern Myth: Inventing a Tradition for Taekwondo* Steven D. CAPENER Abstract In their recent article entitled “Evidence of Taekwondo’s Roots in Karate: An Analysis of the Technical Content of Early Taekwondo Literature” published in the Korea Journal, Udo Moenig, Cho Sungkyun, and Kwak Taek-Yong present compelling empirical evi- dence that taekwondo originated from Japanese karate in the mid-twentieth century. The present article aims to discuss the implications of that assertion in the context of the nationalist project to invent a tradition for taekwondo. This article postulates that such myth-making is possible even in the face of strong empirical evidence to the con- trary due to an anti-intellectual and anti-empirical nationalism that operates in the production/suppression of knowledge, especially in regard to issues that involve Korea’s complicated historical relation with Japan. This article discusses the process of the con- struction of an indigenous origin narrative for taekwondo and the response to that nar- rative in the form of a counter-narrative that postulates the role of karate in taekwon- do’s formation. The construction and rationale of the indigenous origin narrative is then examined through the lens of the modern phenomenon of the invented tradition. Keywords: taekwondo, indigenous origin, anti-intellectual, anti-empirical, national- ism, Japanese karate, invented tradition * !is article was supported by research funds from Seoul Women’s University. Steven D. CAPENER is Associate Professor of Literature and Translation Studies at the Department of English Language & Literature of Seoul Women’s University.

As of November, the market share for Korean films in the domestic market stood at 55 percent, which indicates that the yearly market share of Korean films will be over 50 percent for the third year in a row. In the international arena as well, Korean films were invited to major international film festivals including Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Locarno, and San Sebastian and received a warm reception from critics and audiences. It is often said that the current prosperity of Korean cinema is due to the strong commitment and policies introduced by the KIM Dae-joong government in 1999 to promote Korean films.
  • Rules for UC Yongmudo Martial Arts Competition

    Rules for UC Yongmudo Martial Arts Competition

    RULES for UC yongmudo MARTIAL Arts COMPETITION Version 6.0/August 2014 1.0 - Overview This competition style requires competitors to be well-rounded martial artists who have at least minimal proficiency in four different competition styles. The advanced competitor is required to compete in four timed rounds. The first round is kicking and punching with no grabs, throws, or takedowns. The second round is standing throws. The third round is groundwork. The fourth round is free sparring. To weight each round equally, a total of twenty points is awarded in each round and the winner is the competitor who accumulates the most points. While advanced players compete in all four rounds, beginners compete in one round, and intermediates in two rounds, respectively. The competition rounds for each level are listed in the table below. Experience Kick/Punch Throws Groundwork Free Sparring Beginner Round 1 of 1 Intermediate Round 1 of 2 Round 2 of 2 Advanced Round 1 of 4 Round 2 of 4 Round 3 of 4 Round 4 of 4 Classifications of “beginner,” “intermediate,” and “advanced” are left to the competitors and their instructors. This is because players skilled in one style may lack minimal proficiency in others. For example, a 2nd dan in Taekwondo who is not comfortable with falling should not compete in the advanced competition as the standing throws round could be dangerous. A 1st dan in Judo with limited kicking ability should consider competing at the beginner level, or possibly the intermediate level if he or she has a basic understanding of kick and punch defense.

    Tae Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan A Review What is Tae Kwon Do? • Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and the national sport of South Korea. In Korean, tae means "to strike or break with foot"; means "to strike or break with fist"; and means "way", "method", or "path". Thus, taekwondo may be loosely translated as "the way of the hand and the foot.” Source: Wikipedia So, what is Tae Kwon Do? • "Traditional taekwondo" typically refers to the martial art as it was established in the 1950s and 1960s in the South Korean military, and in various civilian organizations, including schools and universities. In particular, the names and symbolism of the traditional patterns often refer to elements of Korean history, culture and religious philosophy. Today, the Kukkiwon, or World Taekwondo Headquarters is the traditional center for Taekwondo in Korea.

This study points out the different terms related to MA&CS names included in the scientific literature. From this basis, a set of recommendations are offered for improving publication visibility. Material/Methods: Web of Science (WOS) databases SCI-EXPANDED, SSCI, A&HCI for the period 2000-2009 were used for gen- erating the data. A list of 278 searching terms was compiled, each of them enter individually in WOS databases. Results were collected in reference management software and filtered manually. Statistical analysis was focused on precision, noise factor, recall and snobbery ratio indexes. Results: As far as 53.2% searching terms showed no result, 14.0% obtained some result but not related to MA&CS, and 32.7% showed results related to MA&CS. Specific terminology is quite standardized, although there are some MA&CS showing different names. Generally, a preferred and most common term is used by authors.

    Yongmudo by Dr. Ken Min, 9Th Dan YMD Introduction Training Value Of

    Yongmudo By Dr. Ken Min, 9th Dan YMD Introduction The Martial Arts Research Institute of Yongin University, Korea developed a new name, mission, vision and technique called yongmudo on October 15, 1998. It is a discipline for the next millennium of martial artists. Yongmudo is a challenging martial art developed for the futuristic training method of Korean martial arts by adopting and enhancing the techniques of judo, taekwondo, ssirum and kumdo, along with hapkido, plus wrestling and boxing with emphasis on self-defense, self improvement, knowledge and techniques. Its mission is to incorporate up-to-date health and safety knowledge plus current technology of training in yongmudo for the mind and body. The Martial Arts College of Yongin University was established in 1953. Its mission: Justice, courage with courtesy for lifelong training, a positive contribution not only to society and country, but to humankind, through martial arts and sports education. Yongmudo strives to integrate techniques of Korean martial arts, not only the techniques of self-defense and self- improvement but also various forms of meditation, psychological and environmental health enhancement through training of the mind and body. The word Yong means “dragon”. The dragon was worshipped by many ancient Asian kingdoms as the most revered mystical being capable of unparalleled feats. Dragons were able to fly, breathe fire, live underwater or underground, conquer nature by causing tsunamis, earthquakes, floods and typhoons. It was glorified by painters, poets and writers as the most admired protector that could bring prosperity and good fortune to its worshipers. Mu means martial; combat and fighting, physical, mental and psychological warfare and strategy.

    Biomechanical Head Impact Characteristics During Sparring Practice Sessions in High School Taekwondo Athletes

    CLINICAL ARTICLE J Neurosurg Pediatr 19:662–667, 2017 Biomechanical head impact characteristics during sparring practice sessions in high school taekwondo athletes David M. O’Sullivan, PhD,1 and Gabriel P. Fife, PhD2 1Department of Sports Science, Pusan National University, Busan, Republic of Korea; and 2Department of Health and Human Performance, Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to monitor head impact magnitude and characteristics, such as impact loca- tion and frequency, at high school taekwondo sparring sessions. METHODS Eight male high school taekwondo athletes participated in this study. The head impact characteristics were recorded by X-Patch, a wireless accelerometer and gyroscope, during 6 taekwondo sparring sessions. The outcome measures were the peak linear acceleration (g = 9.81 msec2), peak rotational acceleration, rotational velocity, and Head Injury Criterion. RESULTS A total of 689 impacts occurred over 6 sessions involving the 8 athletes. There was an average of 24 impacts per 100 minutes, and there were significant differences in the frequency of impacts among both the sessions and individual athletes. In order of frequency, the most commonly hit locations were the side (38.2%), back (35.7%), and front (23.8%) of the head. CONCLUSIONS The data indicate that there is a relatively high number of head impacts experienced by taekwondo athletes during sparring practice. According to the rotational acceleration predicting impact severity published in previous research, 17.1% of the impacts were deemed to be a moderate and 15.5% were deemed to be severe. https://thejns.org/doi/abs/10.3171/2017.1.PEDS16432 KEY WORDS biomechanics; injury and prevention; acceleration; trauma AEKWONDO has been an official Olympic combat 7.1–11.7) compared with 2.3 (95% CI 2.2–2.4) per 1000 sport since 2000 and is well known for its full con- athlete exposures, respectively.
