WT Grading Syllabus EUTKD Edinburgh University Taekwondo Club Grading Syllabus Edinburgh University Taekwondo Grading Syllabus The Taekwondo Oath I shall observe the tenets of Taekwondo I shall respect my instructors and seniors I will never misuse Taekwondo I will be a champion of justice and freedom I shall build a more peaceful world The Tenets of Taekwondo Courtesy Integrity Perseverance Self-control Indomitable Spirit Introduction What is Taekwondo? Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that was developed during the 1950s. Taekwondo is a blend of several native Korean martial arts, including Sul-bak and Tae-kyon, developed into a distinctively modern style. Taekwondo is an expression of Korean cultural heritage, resurging after harsh repression by Japanese forces during World War II. Taekwondo is famous for its dynamic kicking style and has now developed into a major Olympic sport alongside its martial development. Why do Taekwondo? Self-Defence Competition Confidence Fitness Discipline Fun About UTA Taekwondo World Taekwondo (WT) (formerly World Taekwondo Federation) is the governing body for Taekwondo, with over 175 member nations. The Kukkiwon is The World Taekwondo Headquarters and the only official organisation authorised to issue Dan (Black Belt) certification. The British Taekwondo Control Board (BTCB) is the national governing body for WT Taekwondo in UK. All recognised WT Taekwondo groups in the UK must be registered with the BTCB. The United Taekwondo Association (UTA) is a group member of the BTCB. Chairman and Chief Instructor of the UTA in the UK is 9th Dan Grand Master T W Shin, who trained under 9th Dan Grand Master Kim Soon Bae. Grand Master Shin has established UTA status through maintaining a high standard of Taekwondo practice in the UK. Edinburgh University Taekwondo Grading Syllabus The branch of the UTA in Scotland is the Central Taekwondo Academy run by 8th Dan Grand Master David Bailey. EUTKD is a member club of Central. Conduct in the Dojang No Smoking, eating, or wearing of jewellery in the Dojang. Taekwondo suits must be washed and ironed with only UTA/WT approved badges. Belt must be properly tied. Ensure toe and finger nails are cut to prevent injury. Upon entering and leaving the Dojang bow to the flags. At the Beginning and end of training sessions bow to the instructor and most senior Black belt. If you approach the instructor bow before speaking. Address the instructor by Sir or Miss. When a student arrives late they should wait until recognised by the instructor before joining the class. When a student wishes to leave the hall (except in emergency) it is good manners to gain permission first. If a Master instructor enters the hall, the instructor on the floor or highest ranking student should call the class to attention and bow. Edinburgh University Taekwondo Grading Syllabus Kup Grading Syllabus We are aware that students come from a variety of backgrounds with different approaches to Taekwondo. In classes we will try to respect these approaches in your training. However, if you wish to grade through EUTKD it is necessary to follow the grading syllabus as laid out by Central Taekwondo Academy and Grand Master Bailey 8th Dan. Each grading comprises basic hand techniques, basic foot techniques, patterns, sparring, destruction and terminology test. The requirements for each grade are set out in this booklet. GRADING SYSTEM 10th Kup White Belt Innocence: the beginning student who 9th Kup Yellow Tags has no previous knowledge of Taekwondo. 8th Kup Yellow Belt Earth: a plant sprouts and takes root 7th Kup Green Tags as the foundations of Taekwondo are lain. 6th Kup Green Belt Wood: growth as the Taekwondo skills 5th Kup Blue Tags begin to develop 4th Kup Blue Belt Heaven: towards which the plant 3rd Kup Red Tags matures as training progresses. 2nd Kup Red Belt Danger: cautioning the student to 1st Kup Black Tags exercise control and opponents to be wary Kup gradings are conducted by a senior black belt (4th Dan and higher) with assistance from junior black belts from the club. As the examiner comes from outside the club it is not always possible to hold gradings on a regular basis. Exams and holidays also place further restrictions on when students can grade. Nevertheless, from the start of the academic year we will aim to have a grading every 8-10 weeks (not including holidays). There will, then, usually be 3 gradings over the course of both semesters. Dan gradings are conducted in accordance with UTA regulations and are held twice per year. The spring grading is usually held in Manchester and the autumn grading is hosted by Central Academy at Carronshore. The UTA Chief Examiner Master Shin conducts the Black Belt gradings. Anyone wishing to take their Dan grading will also be expected to train, when possible, with Master Bailey at Central Academy club in Falkirk (this will not conflict with club training). Edinburgh University Taekwondo Grading Syllabus TRAINING PERIODS There is a minimum training period requirement between gradings. Minimum training is classed as attending training sessions twice per week. Students must check with their Instructor before applying to grade. Between 10th and 6th Kup - Two Months Between 6th and 4th Kup - Three Months Between 4th and 2nd Kup - Four Months Between 2nd and 1st Kup - Six months So long as you put in the time and effort you can be in a position to go for your 1st Dan black belt grading by the time you finish your degree.

  • South East Sports Taekwondo Training Guide a Black Belt's
    South East Sports Taekwondo Training Guide A Black Belt’s Journey Learn Now, Use For Life! TAEKWONDO Taekwondo is an ancient Korean martial art of self-defence, which utilises all parts of the body, but can be identified by its distinctive footwork and kicking style. The word Taekwondo is translated as Tae (meaning foot), Kwon (meaning fist) and Do (the way of martial arts). Taekwondo is also an exciting Olympic Sport that provides the opportunity to travel, train and compete both nationally and internationally. Taekwondo is not merely a means of fighting – it also develops one’s character. Taekwondo has a training ethic where progression is based on individual merit earned over time-spent training. This development can only occur if the student is willing to learn. It takes many years training to gain a Taekwondo Black Belt, and students wishing to achieve their black belt must be prepared to commit themselves to train for that length of time – a time spent consistently improving themselves. The saying “Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself” shows this most important quality that we hope students acquire: personal responsibility for one’s own actions. Black Belt rank is a rewarding goal to reach after years of training. Many other goals such as fitness, discipline, sport or self defence skills can be achieved along the way to the Black Belt. Many people see having Black Belt rank to mean having superior fighting skills, as well as being a disciplined person of good character. This ideal Black Belt is hard to achieve in today’s world, but even just striving for this adds depth to an individuals Taekwondo Journey.

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).

  • Dear Taekwondo Family, This Manual Is Dedicated to All of the J. W. Kim
    LETTER TO Students Dear Taekwondo Family, This manual is dedicated to all of the J. W. Kim Taekwondo students and instructors. We have been happy to provide this resource for our students in all of its various iterations since we first opened in 1995. I have designed this manual to help you understand your belt test requirements as well as answer many of your questions to help you excel in your Taekwondo training. Taekwondo is the most popular martial art in the world and is renowned for its many kicking techniques. It was a demonstration sport at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, Korea as well as the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. Beginning with the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, Taekwondo became a full medal sport. It is now one of only two martial arts with this honorable distinction. Taekwondo has rapidly grown in popularity through the years due to the immense benefits it provides. Many of my students have found greater self-confidence, physical and mental discipline, and improved health as a result of their training. I hope you will all benefit from Taekwondo as I have through the years. Sincerely, Grand Master Jung Woo Kim 1 ABOUT GRAND MASTER J.W. KIM Grand Master J.W. Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea and moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil a few years later where he started in Taekwondo at age 4. He proceeded to win many prestigious tournaments and became a well known competitor. Ever since he achieved his black belt, he has been actively involved in teaching and coaching Taekwondo.
