  • The Times of Argentina's Master Daechol Yang and His Taekwondo
    The Times of Argentina’s Master Daechol Yang and his Taekwondo Jidokwan By Manuel E. Adrogué, July 2020 www.taekwon.com.ar This is an abridged translation of an article I recently published in Spanish, in which I have only left the parts that I consider have interest to the English-speaking world. This is the story of a boy who became a man through his martial art, but it is also the story of a family that emigrates, that of two cultures that meet, a time that will never return and deserves to be known. Ten years ago I published a 200-page rendition of the history of Argentine Tae Kwon Do as an annex to the Spanish language edition of Alex Gillis’ acclaimed book “A Killing Art. The Untold History of Tae Kwon Do“. One of the persons about whom I had to write was Master Dae Chol Yang, who along with Master Lee Chong Seo were the instructors to my own teacher, the late Grandmaster Pedro Florindo. I owe my mentor and friend Pedro the Taekwon-Do I practice, as well as those two gentlemen who in turn taught him. In 1967, Tae Kwon Do arrived in Argentina brought by Han Chang Kim, Nam Sung Choi and Kwang Duk Chung. When Kim decided to travel and forge a future in Argentina, General Choi Hong Hi, president of the International Taekwon-Do Federation, commissioned him to spread Taekwon-Do here. Kim found her two companions on board of the Dutch cargo ship that was bringing them to South America.

  • Grandmaster Tommy Thompson
    Biography Grandmaster W.L. “Tommy” Thompson Grandmaster Thompson has spent a lifetime studying Tae Kwon Do and other styles of martial arts along with teaching for over 40 years. Grandmaster Thompson became interested in martial arts in the late 60's while he was a member of the U.S. Air Force stationed at Shaw AFB, South Carolina. After his release from the military, he continued his martial arts training at the Chambersburg YMCA under the Free State Karate School located out of Hagerstown, Maryland. At the YMCA, he was able to study a style of Tae Kwon Do called Chung Do Kwan which was brought to this country by Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee, the Father of American Tae Kwon Do. The Tae Kwon Do class continued to be taught by the Free State Karate instructors until the Chambersburg YMCA decided to establish their own class. On January 11, 1976, Grandmaster Thompson was promoted to 1st degree black belt by the Free State Karate School instructors and was offered the position as the coordinator of the martial arts program. He continued his affiliation and training with the Free State Karate School. Then he started taking classes at the Jung Sim Do Korean Karate School which allowed him to study another style of Tae Kwon Do. At the Jung Sim Do Korean Karate School, Grandmaster Thompson also began training in Hapkido and weapons (e.g., bo staff and sword) under Grandmaster Seung Kil Choi. Between the time he received his 1st degree black belt and June 19, 1987, Grandmaster Thompson was able to complete his promotional testing for black belt in the following ranks: 2nd degree awarded by Sensei Stoss, 3rd degree awarded by Master Clark, 4th and 5th degree awarded by Master Woods.

  • History of Tae Kwon Do.Pdf
    Tae Kwon Do History Introduction: Although modern Taekwondo has actually only existed for about 50 years (the martial art known Tae Kwon Do was developed between 1945 and 1955 and only became known as Tae Kwon Do in 1955.), it is based upon Shotokan Karate, another 20th century martial art, and ancient Korea martial arts, such as Taekkyon and Subak, that have lost favor in modern times. Tae Kwon Do is a martial art that means "The Way of the Feet and Hands". Writings on Taekwondo history usually portray Taekwondo as an unique product of Korean culture, developed over the long course of Korean history since the Three Kingdoms Era. However, Taekwondo's primary influence came from Japanese Karate that was introduced into Korea during the Japanese occupation of Korea during the early 1900s. Few written records on ancient Korean history exist, so factual information on Korean martial arts is scarce and sketchy. Because of this, most Korean martial arts writers find something in Korean history to support their claims; writers on Tae Kwon Do included. If one researches the history of Tae Kwon Do, in the research they will find differing and sometimes contradictory information. Majority of this information is a summary taken from Reference 1. For more details, please review the entire material on history of Tae Kwon Do from Reference 1. Origins of Tae Kwon Do: Empty-hand fighting did not originate wholly in only one country, but it developed naturally in every place humans settled. In each country, people adapted their fighting techniques to deal with the dangers in their local environments.

  • Evidence of Taekwondo's Roots in Karate
    Korea Journal, vol. 54, no. 2 (summer 2014): 150-178. 150 © Korean NationalKOREA Commission JOURNAL for / UNESCO,SUMMER 2014 Evidence of Taekwondo’s Roots in Karate: An Analysis of the Technical Content of Early Taekwondo Literature* Udo MOENIG, Sungkyun CHO, and Taek-Yong KWAK Abstract The taekwondo establishment presents taekwondo as the descendent of ancient Kore- an martial arts. However, during the last two decades, some scholars have begun to question this presentation, contending instead that taekwondo is the product of Koreans who studied karate in Japan during the Japanese colonial years, and then introduced karate to Korea after coming home. A comprehensive survey of the exist- ing Korean martial arts literature published between 1945 and 1970 strongly sup- ports the argument that early “taekwondo” had in fact been Japanese karate, or more specifically, Funakoshi Gichin’s Shotokan karate. Therefore, the assertion that early taekwondo had its roots in Korean martial arts is difficult to sustain.

  • Uniform Patches Meaning Learn the Meanings of Our Uniform Patches and Earn the Right to Purchase and Wear Them on Your Uniform
    Uniform Patches Meaning Learn the meanings of our uniform patches and earn the right to purchase and wear them on your uniform. The Flags (Gook Gi) On the walls of your DoJang (studio), you will see 2 flags. The one on the left is the American Flag. On the right is the Korean Flag, to represent the heritage of our martial art, When entering and leaving the DoJang, students should bow towards the flags as a gesture of respect and loyalty to their country, their martial arts organization, and as a gesture of respect towards the country where our martial arts originated. This gesture is very important and should not be taken lightly. Remember respect and loyalty is the core of the martial artist’s philosophy. The American Flag Designer: The recognized designer of the Flag was Francis Hopkinson a delegate from New Jersey to the Continental Congress and also a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Stars and Stripes: The Continental Congress resolved on June 14, 1777, that thirteen United States be thirteen stripes alternating red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a field of blue, representing a new constellation. No given star on the Flag corresponds to a specific state. The stars represent the states collectively. Flag Colors: The red, white and blue colors and their arrangement in the flag are often interpreted as expressing the very character of our nation. George Washington described the white of the Flag as symbolizing our desire for liberty in the land of the free. The virgin white stripes represent purity and serenity of the nation.

  • 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.

  • THE HISTORY of TAEKWONDO by Glen R
    THE HISTORY OF TAEKWONDO By Glen R. Morris A Report for Recommendation Black Belt Testing 1994 Before I get into the history of Taekwondo, I would like to define what it means. I read the definition from many books and the one that I like best comes from the book Comprehensive Asian Fighting Arts (1) written by Donn F. Draeger and Robert W. Smith. "Taekwondo is an empty-hand combat form that entails the use of the whole body. Tae means "to Kick" or "Smash with the feet," Kwon implies "punching" or "destroying with the hand or fist," and Do means "way" or "method." Taekwondo thus, is the technique of unarmed combat for self defense that involves the skillful application of techniques that include punching, jumping kicks, blocks, dodges, parrying actions with hands and feet. It is more than a mere physical fighting skill, representing as it does a way of thinking and a pattern of life requiring strict discipline. It is a system of training both the mind and the body in which great emphasis is placed on the development of the trainee's moral character." Taekwondo is a martial art that in "todays" form of self defense has evolved by combining many different styles of martial arts that existed in Korea over the last 2,000 years and some martial arts styles from countries that surround Korea. Taekwondo incorporates the abrupt linear movements of Karate and the flowing, circular patterns of Kung-fu with native kicking techniques. Over fifty typically Chinese circular hand movements can be identified in modern Taekwondo.(1) A few of the earlier martial arts styles that contributed to Taekwondo are: T'ang-su, Taek Kyon, also known as Subak, Tae Kwon, Kwonpup and Tae Kwonpup.
