Martial Invaders by Rob Mcgovern Combat0909 14/8/09 16:46 Page 122 Martial Invaders By Rob McGovern Korea, the so called former hermit kingdom, is no stranger to invaders or colonisation. As a result of many incursions, Korea and her people are protective of their culture, as almost every ex pat who spends time here will have found out once or twice to their detriment. One of the country’s most marketed and possibly one of the best Korean ‘brands’ to have been exported around the world is Taekwondo. The Seoul Olympics in 1988 introduced the world to Taekwondo with a spectacular, synchronized display of board breaking and high kicking and since then it has become the most practiced martial art in the world and a full Olympic medal sport with the kind of devoted following that most martial arts can only dream of. Dojangs seem to be on every street of every city, town, village and hamlet in Korea and streets are regularly clogged with mini buses delivering and depositing dobok clad kids.

The origins of Hwa Rang Kwan can be traced back to the Korean United Methodist Church (constructed in 1928), the first Korean Church to be constructed in the United States by and for Koreans. In 1969, Pastor Song offered the name “Hwa Rang Kwan” to a Korean Youth Group at 712 Polk Street that was run by the former Korean Association President Min Hee Rhee, father of Taekwondo legends and actors Masters Phillip and Simon Rhee. During this same time, a man by the name of Master Dong Kie Shin opened a Hwa Rang Kwan dojang (martial arts’ school) in the Miadong district of Seoul, Korea. In 1971, Master Shin moved to San Francisco and continued his training at the Polk Street school and in 1973, he opened a Hwa Rang Kwan of his own, the Hwa Rang Kwan Martial Arts Center, on Fillmore Street.

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (November 2011) Martial arts are extensive systems of codified practices and traditions of combat, practiced for a variety of reasons, including self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, as well as mental and spiritual development. The term martial art has become heavily associated with the fighting arts of eastern Asia, but was originally used in regard to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. An English fencing manual of 1639 used the term in reference specifically to the "Science and Art" of swordplay. The term is ultimately derived from Latin, martial arts being the "Arts of Mars," the Roman god of war.[1] Some martial arts are considered 'traditional' and tied to an ethnic, cultural or religious background, while others are modern systems developed either by a founder or an association.

  • Moo Duk Kwan
    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. Source: Wikipedia What are Original Tae Kwon Do Schools? • The Five Original Kwans (Schools) – Song Moo Kwan - founded March 11, 1944 by Ro, Byung Jick. – Chung Do Kwan - founded in 1944 by Lee, Won Kyuk. – Moo Duk Kwan - founded after 1946 by Hwang Kee. – Kwon Bop Bu/Chang Moo Kwan - founded in 1946 by Yoon, Byung-In. – Yun Moo Kwan/Jidokwan - founded March 3, 1946 by Chun, Sang Sup. • Later Kwans (derived from the original five) – Han Moo Kwan - founded in August 1954 by Lee Kyo Yoon. – Oh Do Kwan - founded in 1955 by Choi Hong Hi, Nam Tae Hi, and Han Cha Kyo. – Kang Duk Won - founded in 1956 by Park Chul Hee and Hong Jong Pyo – Jung Do Kwan - founded in 1956 by Lee Yong Woo.

  • The Necessity to Know History. in 1945, Moo Duk Kwan Was Found in Order to Spread, Prosper and Create Understanding of Soo Bahk
    The necessity to know history. In 1945, Moo Duk Kwan was found in order to spread, prosper and create understanding of Soo Bahk Do (now called Tang Soo Do), which is the special martial art of Korea, and has a long history and tradition. The foundation of Moo Duk Kwan has remained unshakable by the cooperation and efforts of all members and persons who are interested. The fame of Moo Duk Kwan has grown not only in Korea, but all over the world. Now, although technique is very important, theory has to be taught for the purpose of the increase of Tang Soo Do and the martial arts. First of all, therefore, all members must perfectly understand the foundation theory of rational history about the art. From time to time some members who have excellent skills deviate from the right path because they do not know and understand it's true history and the foundation. So it is very important to study history and the foundation theory. The theory of it's origin. The exact origin of Tang Soo Do, as well as karate in general, is obscure. However, there are many equally beautiful theories. An argument continues to rage about the origin of both weapon using and weaponless fighting techniques. Some Japanese karate experts insist that the art is of Japanese origin; some say it came from Okinawa; others say it began in China and spread from there. Although there are various theories and views explaining it's history in Korea, we will consider the Moo Duk Kwan's assertion as described in Moo Duk Kwan's major text book Soo Bahk Do Dae Kam, written by Grand Master Hwang Kee, president.

  • 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.
