Family Moo Do Academy. You Have Taken the First Steps on the Path of Learning the Ancient Martial Art of Tae Kwon Do WELCOME! Welcome to Family Moo Do Academy. You have taken the first steps on the path of learning the ancient Martial Art of Tae Kwon Do. Senior Master Anthony Boyle, 7th Dan black belt, has over 35 years teaching experience and he and others in your class will bring their experience to you. We know that the strange terminology and ways can be confusing at first, but do not be afraid to ask. Before you know it, you will feel as comfortable as those who have gone before you. DEFINITION OF TAEKWONDO “Tae” means “foot” or “to strike with the feet”. “Kwon” means “hand”, or “to strike with the hand”. “Do” means discipline, art, or way. Hence TaeKwonDo (foot-hand-way) means literally “the art of the feet and the hands” or “the art of kicking and punching”. However, different schools and or styles may impose different variations on the formal definition. For example, some styles add the words “self-defense” to the literal definition and/or throw in some form of the phrase “physical and mental training”. TAEKWONDO CODE OF CONDUCT There are some rules of courtesy and conduct that should be followed in the dojang. Pay attention to the rules. In class, techniques and weapons will be practiced which could injure you and your partner if they are not performed with the necessary focus. The skills learned in Taekwondo are to be used to prevent conflict and violence. Never should a Taekwondo student initiate or start physical conflict, and the techniques of Taekwondo should be used only as a last resort in self-defense or in the defense of another person. Essentially, students are expected to be model citizens and work for the betterment of their community. • Wear a clean uniform. Women/girls wear an undershirt. • Do not wear watches or jewelry – they may scratch or cut your partner. (Plain wedding bands without stones are an exception). • Pay attention to hygiene, especially keeping fingernails and toenails cut short. • Keep the dojang (training school) clean. • No horseplay in the dojang. We are here to train. If you arrive early, use the time to stretch, practice forms, or ask questions. • Be on time for class. (if you are late to class, walk BEHIND everyone. Do not walk in front of others. Take your place in the back row.) • Always bow when entering and leaving the Dojang. • At the start of class, line up in order of belt rank, those with the same rank line up older students first. • Bow to your partner before any partner exercise to show respect. Page 1 of 38 © 2014, 2018 Family Moo Do Academy last updated 4 October 2018 • If you need to adjust your uniform, always turn away from the flags, fix your uniform, then return to your position. • If you need help fixing your uniform, go to the highest ranking student for assistance. • If you need to leave the Dojang during class (to use the restroom, for example), ask the instructor’s approval first. Try to take care of this before class to avoid interruptions. Get a drink before and after class. • Stand still when the instructor is talking or instructing. Do not fidget or talk to others. • Always respond to the instructor’s questions with “Sir, yes sir!” or “Ma’am, yes ma’am!” If you do not understand, ask. • If the instructor asks for your help with something, bow to the instructor after the task is given and before you do it. • Don’t be hesitant to ask other students for help, assistance with forms, or explanations. Arriving a few minutes early is a great way to get questions answered. • We only have class two hours a week but you must train and practice at home so the forms and movements begin to feel normal and natural. • Always try to be the best YOU can be. DOJANG ETIQUETTE Upon entering the "dojang" (training hall) students shall bow as a sign of respect for the training area. If the class has already begun before you enter, you will, after bowing, wait for the instructor's acknowledgment of your bow and his permission to join the class. Whenever you leave the Dojang, you should also bow (facing in). When class is to officially begin, the instructor will ask us to line up according to rank and seniority and “bow in”. The bowing in commands (see page 5) are then given in Korean by either the instructor or the highest ranking student. During class, proper respect and discipline must be maintained at all times and Dojang etiquette followed by all members. The chain of command of ranks must be followed at all times. If a student must leave the Dojang before the class is over, he must get permission from the Head instructor, unless he received permission prior to the class. Do not wear shoes in the Dojang. No one is permitted to chew gum or eat in the Dojang. There shall be no food or drinks in the Dojang training area. Consider the Dojang as your home and treat it as such. The Dojang is a respected place where the "Way" of the martial arts is taught. Students should exercise care to keep their uniform clean and pressed at all times. Students shall respect their own bodies and keep themselves clean. Fingernails and toenails should be clipped and kept short to help prevent injuries to oneself and other students. No metal of any sort, except eye glasses or a wedding ring, should be worn during class. No head-bands or other articles of clothing should be worn, other than the Dobok (Uniform) and Tee (Belt). Page 2 of 38 © 2014, 2018 Family Moo Do Academy last updated 4 October 2018 Every participant must participate in warm up exercises before training in order to prepare the body and mind. Failure to do these exercises could result in pulled muscles and a lack of concentration on the part of the student. At the end of class, students will again line up according to rank and seniority. The commands are the same as during the opening ceremony, except that when bowing to your instructor(s), you say “kahm sa hamnida” (thank you), and the instructor replies with “cheon maneyo” (you’re welcome). Never ask to learn advanced techniques or the next form. The instructor will teach you what you are qualified to learn at your level. It is disrespectful to ask for additional training when you may not yet have perfected what you are presently working on. Instructors should be addressed as Mr. (Mrs., Miss.) followed by his or her last name, or for Masters (4th Dans or above) as Master, followed by the "last name". Example; "Master Boyle”. Masters should NEVER be addressed by their first names. It is a sign of disrespect. FIVE TENETS OF TAEKWONDO 1. Courtesy - Show respect to their instructors, to higher ranking students, and to all others. Be polite and encourage a sense of justice. Students must constantly look within themselves and not be quick to judge others. 2. Integrity - Be able to define right and wrong and have the conscience, if wrong, to feel remorse. Within the dojang one must be honestly making an attempt to do whatever the instructor asks. If you are asked to do 20 pushups, for example, do not only do 10 because the instructor is not watching. Outside the dojang, students must not misrepresent themselves or rationalize their poor behavior (give excuses). 3. Perseverance – Nothing worth having comes easy. Perseverance and patience are required to excel at anything, Perseverance means sticking to it. If you fail the first time, or even the hundredth time – try again. Be confident that you will eventually succeed as long as your purpose is worthy. 4. Self-control – This is extremely important inside and outside the dojang – for example during free sparring or in one’s personal affairs. Good self-control in free sparring enables you to execute stunning techniques without injuring your partner. Good self-control in daily life allows you to work comfortably and confidently with others. 5. Indomitable spirit – Do not be afraid to be yourself and trust your judgment. Indomitable spirit is what enables you to keep your ideals and your identity in the face of overwhelming pressures. It is the strength to reject the things that “everyone else is doing” if you believe them to be wrong. Page 3 of 38 © 2014, 2018 Family Moo Do Academy last updated 4 October 2018 CHILDREN’S HOME RULES • Children will greet their parents when entering the home and tell them good-bye when leaving the home. • Children will at all times be respectful to their parents and other adults. • Children will at all times be truthful. • Children will strive for a good relationship with their brothers and sisters. • Children will willingly help with household chores. • Children will report to their parents when they have completed assigned tasks. • Children will be responsible for the upkeep and neatness of their own rooms. • Children will practice daily cleanliness in the matter of hair, teeth, and body. • Children will abide by their parent’s decisions. • Children will not interrupt adult conversations. • Children will refrain from rowdy behavior at home. • Children will possess an active mind, body, and spirit. • Children will diligently study their schoolwork both at school and at home. • Children will, at all times, show respect for their school teachers and their peers.

  • 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).
