Rhetorical Roundhouse Kicks: Tae Kwon Do Pumsae Practice and Non-Western Embodied Topoi by Spencer Todd Bennington A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric and Composition Department of English College of Arts and Sciences University of South Florida Major Professor: Carl Herndl, Ph.D. Lisa Melonçon, Ph.D. Steven Jones, Ph.D. Cathryn Molloy, Ph.D. Date of Approval: June 19th, 2020 Keywords: martial arts, Daoism, commonplaces, embodied rhetoric, writing studies, pedagogy Copyright © 2020, Spencer Todd Bennington Dedication To Mike and Susie Bennington and the memory of Betty J. Todd. Mom, Dad, Mama--if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be here today; I wouldn’t be writing a dissertation at all. And, if by some miracle I did make it to this point all by myself, I would have quit a long time ago without your support. I love you. Thank you. Forever. Acknowledgements Annyeong hashimnikka! The production of this manuscript would not be possible without many loving friends, wicked smart colleagues, and inspiring mentors. First, thank you to Dr. Carl Herndl for agreeing to take on the project of supervising that eccentric Kung Fu Kid who wrote about Batman comics and the “cyborg manifesto” in what was clearly his first rhetoric seminar four years ago. Carl, you were the one who opened my eyes to a world of possibility within Rhetoric as a discipline--I can’t thank you enough for that. It's only fitting for you to see me through the end of this scholarly journey since you were the one who welcomed me to the fold. Next, I have to recognize Dr. Lisa Melonçon, senior member of the “Shrimp Basket” and the best mentor to the field of Professional and Technical Communication a graduate student could ever ask for. Lisa, not only did you humor me during numerous brainstorming and vent sessions, including the one where the concept “embodied topoi” was first named, you kept me fed and sane during the process. I owe you more than I can ever hope to repay, but I’ll still try. I’m also very lucky to have Dr. Steven Jones and Dr. Cathryn Molloy as readers on my committee. Steve, if it weren’t for your digital humanities capstone course and the encouragement from you and my classmates to “do something fun,” I doubt I would have ever designed and launched rhetoricalroundhouse.com. Without thinking through my own personal process of critical reflexive pumsae practice, the impetus for the original site, I would not have arrived at this project as my dissertation. Finally, Cathryn, I cannot tell you how delighted I was to meet you in Pittsburg--your warmth, enthusiasm, and thoughtful commentary throughout this process have made this project (and my life) rich. To all of my committee members, thank you for your hard work and sacrifice. To all other faculty at USF, Radford, and Averett who made similar sacrifices to help get me to this point as a scholar, I thank you as well. Every English teacher I ever had--this is your gold star. Special recognition here goes to Dr. Nate Johnson for introducing me to embodied rhetorics and Debra Hawhee’s Bodily Arts (2004). Additionally, I’m excited by and thankful for the friendships and connections I’m making in the Martial Arts Studies community, particularly people like Paul Bowman and Ben Judkins whose work is continually shaping my research agenda. My scholarly community also includes all my students--you were the ones who made my research ideas and pedagogical skills sharper through constant conversation and practice. In addition to a scholarly community, I am blessed to be continually taught by a martial arts community, all of whom, in some way, contributed to this project. These include instructors like Grandmaster Jin Young “Dragon” Kim, Dr. Stephen Ausband, Master Kelvin Miller, Master (Coach) Marco Nogueira, Master Woo Namkyu, Master Ling, Master Jung, Master Thai, Jun Kim, Master Rupert Cox, Master Hoon Park, Master Tommy Carpenter, Instructor Young, Coach Phil, and Master Vahid Smith as well as their families. In addition to my past/present teachers, I’d like to recognize members of my Tae Kwon Do Family for their contribution to this project and my holistic development as a martial artist, teacher, and human being: Bill and Adam McMullen, Matt, Katrina, Keegan, Liam, and Rhodey Dohman, Cassie Linkous, Rich Burgess, and Rupert Cox (friend version). Just as important for my emotional well-being, professional development, and overall sanity (kind of), are the two remaining “shrimps,” Dr. Tanya P. Zarlengo and Dr. Josh Rea. We wrote together, suffered together, learned to pick each other up, and had a LOT of fun. Tanya, thank you for your everwise prophecies about my future self and the best training montage video of all time. Josh, thanks for being a friend, mentor, and for taking me to the JCPenney portrait studio--best birthday ever. Lisa, Tanya, and Josh, grad school would not have been any fun without you. Many other friends and loved ones have offered various other kinds of support (critical feedback, a sounding board, rest and relaxation, etc.) and I’d like to thank them all here for their help as well, especially Peyton Keesee. Not only did you listen to me ramble on about academics or put up with me when I lost my funny bone, you even watched my Youtube videos. Thanks for being my best friend, BOOODY. Also, Jeremy, you’ll never read this, but thanks for the ice cream--sincerely. Finally, I have to thank Mom and Dad in very material ways. Mom--you drove me to Tae Kwon Do even when you really didn’t want to. I learned commitment from you, the little mountain. Dad, you gave me the book that ended up starting this whole dissertation. I learned openness and how to be a receptive man from you. Without the both of you, together, I’d be nothing. This project, this whole degree, I did it for you just as much as I did it for me. Thank you for giving me that chance. With love and sincerity--thank you all.

    DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision. As part of the efforts, the ROK military complemented the Defense Reform Basic Plan and has UHYDPSHGLWVZHDSRQSURFXUHPHQWDQGDFTXLVLWLRQV\VWHP,QDGGLWLRQLWKDVUHYDPSHGWKHHGXFDWLRQDOV\VWHPIRURI¿FHUVZKLOH strengthening the current training system by extending the basic training period and by taking other measures. The military has also endeavored to invigorate the defense industry as an exporter so the defense economy may develop as a new growth engine for the entire Korean economy. To reduce any possible inconveniences that Koreans may experience, the military has reformed its defense rules and regulations to ease the standards necessary to designate a Military Installation Protection Zone.

About the Author ingsley Ubong Umoh was only fourteen when he took his first step from Kbeing an ardent fan of the Hong Kong Kung Fu movies into the practical world of Taekwondo Jidokwan training in the early 1980s.As most inveterate martial artists would discover, the exciting world of flying kicks and somer- saults was very different from the hardships of intense training so difficult that it would sometimes appear that the master was actively trying to discourage his students from continuing further classes. Thus was taught the first lesson of perseverance and indomitable spirit. He counts himself fortunate to have trained variously with different instruc- tors to achieve different perspectives which are important to round out one’s knowledge of Taekwondo.

  • Basic Taekwondo Poomsae Taegeuk 1-8
    BASIC TAEKWONDO POOMSAE TAEGEUK 1-8 Meaning of the symbol Taegeuk Taegeuk is a symbol representing the principles of the cosmos creation and the norms of human life. The circumference of the Taegeuk mark symbolizes infinity and the two parts, red and blue, inside the circle symbolize yin (negative) and yang (positive), which look like rotating all the time. Therefore, Taegeuk is the light which is the unified core of the cosmos and human life and its boundlessness signifies energy and the source of life. The yin and yang represents the development of the cosmos and human life and the oneness of symmetrical halves, such as negative and positive, hardness and softness, and materials and anti-materials. The eight bar-signs (called kwae) outside the circle are so arranged to go along with the Taegeuk in an orderly system. One bar means the yang and two bars the yin, both representing the creation of harmonization with the basic principles of all cosmos phenomena. The Taegeuk, infinity and yin-yang are the three elements constituting the philosophical trinity as mentioned in the Samil Sinko, the Scripture of Korean race. The Origin of Taegeuk Denomination According to the old book of history, Sinsi Bonki, around (B.C.35), a son of the 5th emperor of the Hwan-ung Dynasty in on ancient nation of the Tongyi race whose name was Pokhui, was said to have received the Heaven's ordinance to have an insight in the universal truths, thereby observing rituals for the Heaven and finally receiving the eight kwaes (bar signs).
