Traditional Korean Martial Arts School Tae Kwon Do Program Membership Packet Traditional Korean Martial Arts School Tae Kwon Do Program Membership Packet Note: The first 2 pages of this Membership Packet are taken from documents I received upon becoming a member of the United Martial Arts Black Belt Association (UMBA) in 1983. These are the words of my Kwan Jang Nim, Myung-Hwan Kim. If the English seems strange, please understand that it was written before he had mastered our language. I chose not to edit his words as I wish to preserve his teachings in their original form. 1. What is Tae Kwon Do? Tae Kwon Do is the name of a martial art which has been independently developed over about 20 centuries in Korea. The main feature of Tae Kwon Do is that it is a free-fighting self-defense using bare hands to repel an enemy. All of its activities are based on defensive tactics since Tae Kwon Do was developed as a defense against enemy attacks. In old days, people living simple lives lacked physical strength and agility and their bodies became bent in their old age. Tae Kwon Do also served to improve health, physical balance, agility and poise of the people practicing it. Our belief is that Tae Kwon Do trained people are self-confident in every respect, not only in physical strength, but also in their mental discipline, because they have developed superior techniques for personal defense by using their entire bodies. For a Tae Kwon Do person, the entire body is a weapon, and they are easily able to attack and repel an aggressor with hands, fists, elbows, knees, feet or any other part of their body. The most important fact about Tae Kwon Do as a martial art is that it is not only a superior art of self-defense, but it adds remarkable bon sence to its practitioners. Self-confidence makes people generous in their attitudes toward weaker people. They can stand equally against any opponent, but their code forbids unfair assaults or unnecessary use of force. The practice of Tae Kwon Do gives an individual the mental attitude of modesty. The virtues of modesty and generosity are fundamentally based on self-confidence. It is obvious that healthy bodies make people active and powerful. Such mental and physical self-confidences are beneficial to the mental life of individuals, their families, neighbors and their nation. A Tae Kwon Do form (Hyung or Poom-Sae) comprises various stances, each with its peculiar nature but each blending into the other. A “form” consists of about two dozen stances inter-connected. Blocking, punching, striking, thrusting and kicking are included in Tae Kwon Do forms, and these are properly carried out with hands, fists and feet according to the vital spot of the body at which they are aimed. The stances will also change accordingly - front stance, back stance, cat stance and horse-riding stance, etc. as the situation requires. Tae Kwon Do has two styles of competition. One is free-style competition in which students can freely use their acquired techniques in attack or defense. The other is competition by pre-arrangement, in which students follow an agreed sequence for practice or demonstration. In the latter, the course of the prearranged competition must be thoroughly mastered before used in a free-style competition. Tae Kwon Do is formed as a trio of Forms (Hyung), Competition (Daeryun) and Breaking (Kyuk-Pa). Tae Kwon Do requires great mental concentration and it produces almost incredible power. As a matter of fact, it is impossible to exercise the developed power against people without the risk of inflicting serious injury or death. And so, another way was sought to test such formidable power against non-living things like wooden planks, roof tiles or bricks. We call this “breaking”. And we must realize that anyone can become proficient in this aspect of the art because in Tae Kwon Do, anyone can properly develop and control his or her latent power. No special place is needed to practice Tae Kwon Do. During any free time, individuals can practice and develop Tae Kwon Do techniques. The Tae Kwon Do Uniform is neither expensive nor luxurious. It is designed to fit for free body action. It is believed that the white color of the uniform signifies “the purity and origin” as well as “conversance”. There are belts, i.e. black, red, brown, purple, blue, green, yellow, white, etc., with each color designating the degree of graded proficiency possessed by the one wearing the belt. White, yellow and orange signify beginners, green, blue and purple indicate intermediate ranks while brown and red signify advanced students. A black belt (the sign of “Living Dignity”), is reserved for Tae Kwon Do experts who hold the first grade of Dan or above. 2. Goals of our Traditional TKD Program The goals of our program are: a. To provide a means of improving students physically, mentally and spiritually. b. To teach self-defense. c. To provide a path for students to gain self-confidence, modesty and the ability to demonstrate generosity to others. d. To develop proper social attitude within students through the understanding and practice of discipline and respect. e. To build fellowship among members. Successful accomplishment of the above goals will result in numerous subsequent benefits for enrolled members, including: better educational experience for children, improved health, reduced risk of childhood delinquency, improved domestic relations, greater motivation for further achievement (educationally, professionally, etc.). We wish to work with the parents of younger students, in order to couple the developmental progress in Tae Kwon Do with that in school and at home. Therefore, discussions between parents and Instructors is welcomed and encouraged. In addition, parents’ attendance at promotion tests can be of particular value in verifying this progress. 3. Uniforms and Equipment: Typically, students will need only their uniform (consisting of a white top with TKMAS patch, white pants and rank belt) for class. Gentlemen should consider wearing an athletic supporter. During sparring sessions, protective equipment is required. The basics are: a. Mouth-guard b. Groin cup (Males). In addition, the following are RECOMMENDED: a. Shin-instep pads b. Headgear (required for tournament competition) c. Chest Protector (required for tournament competition) d. any other approved, protective equipment you feel is necessary. Please consult an Instructor if you have any questions concerning protective gear. Recommended gear can be purchased over time to avoid burdensome expense at the beginning of training. 4. Promotions and Rank Ranks (belt colors) are used in martial arts to help students gauge their progress. Ranks are not assigned to compare one student to another. Rather, students should only make a comparison of their own progress from day to day, rank to rank, in order to recognize their OWN IMPROVEMENT and PROGRESS!! Promotion tests are opportunities for students to prove (to themselves as well as the Examiner) that they have “met the challenge” and have improved themselves to the point where they are able to take another step along their path. Promotion Tests are opportunities for the student to gain self-confidence. Normally, each rank will include requirements that consist of the following: a. physical fitness b. basic motions or techniques c. forms d. one-step-sparring (self-defense techniques) e. breaking f. sparring g. terminology (Korean) h. philosophy Promotion and Tip Tests will normally be scheduled for the end of each session (some exceptions are made). A testing fee is required to cover the cost of breaking materials, belts and certification of new rank. If serious financial difficulties require, exceptions can be made by Sah Bum Nim. Tip testing is a “progress check” for both students and Instructors, and does not require a fee. Please see the Rank (Advancement) Requirements sheet at the end of this packet for complete information concerning requirements.

  • 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.

  • A History of Taekwondoаа the Three Kingdoms of Korea
    A History of TaeKwonDo by Isaac Myers (2016) Throughout the years, TaeKwonDo has evolved in many different ways. TaeKwonDo means “way of the fist and foot” or “the art of punching and kicking”. Its roots date back to over 2,300 years ago evolving into the two main TaeKwonDo organizations currently active. They are the International TaeKwonDo Federation (ITF) and the World TaeKwonDo Federation (WTF). The Three Kingdoms of Korea (300 B.C. ­ 676 A.D.) Around 300 B.C., the peninsula that we now know as Korea was three separate kingdoms. The first and the smallest of the three was Silla (57 B.C. ­ 936 A.D.). The second and by far the largest in both population and landmass was Koguryo (37 B.C. ­ 668 A.D.). The final kingdom was Paekje (18 B.C. ­ 600 A.D.). There was a great war for territory raging between the three kingdoms. This war lasted until Silla conquered Koguryo and Paekje and unified the three kingdoms in 676 A.D. The HwaRang th The 24 ​ king of Silla, Chin Heung, ordered a group of young men to be trained in the ​ ways of the bow and arrow, sword, spear, and SooBak. SooBak was a primitive form of foot fighting, using some hand techniques. The king called these individuals the HwaRang, meaning “Flowering Knight.” He also ordered a Buddhist monk and scholar, Won Kang, to train the HwaRang in the Buddhist religion and the art of Korean culture. Won Kang developed a code of conduct for the HwaRang. The code of conduct included five basic rules.

Forrest-Blincoe is a 4th dan black belt master in Tang Soo Do which he has studied in the United States and Korea. He has also studied Taekkyon in South Korea.1 During this time, he has been interested in the official histories of these martial arts in contrast with documented histories (which often differ significantly). Both Forrest and Forrest-Blincoe are trained anthropologists. Forrest specializes in symbols and national identity, and has published extensively on the anthropology of movement and dance. Problem and Aim. The martial arts Taekwondo, Tang Soo Do, and Taekkyon have competed within Korea for some time to rep- resent Korean culture, and Korea has used martial arts as an export as one component in its drive to gain legitimacy as a world power competitive with its more powerful neighbors of China and Japan. This paper examines the process of using martial arts as symbols of Korean national identity.

  • Traditionally, Korean Artisans and Musicians Went Through Roughly Five
    Several years ago while taking an advanced post-graduate class in Korean folklore and ethnography, I did considerable academic research into Korea’s popular indigenous martial arts traditions. Although a long time student of traditional martial arts, as a cultural historian, I disciplined myself and applied a critical thinking mindset. Over the past few months, I’ve revisited and revised my work with plans for an article to be submitted to an academic journal. Your thoughts and input are appreciated. To best share the research, the article is split into three sections. Korean Folk Martial Arts: A Cultural History Perspective By Don Southerton Introduction Martial arts traditions on the Korean peninsula reach back centuries. Across much of Korea’s long history unarmed combat arts were seen as a military skill and a popular (folk) activity. For example, from the late 4th century, Koguryô Kingdom Anak tomb wall paintings depict fighters engaged in combat matches. Over a millennium later in the Chosôn Dynasty (1392-1910) and following the Japanese invasions of late 16th century, King Sunjo commissioned military officials to compile the Muye jebo-- a treatise on contemporary fighting systems. The work evolved over the next two hundred years into an official textbook, the Muye dodo tongji, which included kwon pup (fist technique). 1 Fig. 1. 1 Sang H. Kim, Muye Dobo Tongji: Compete Illustrated Manual of Martial Arts (Wethersfield, CT: Turtle Press, 2000), p. 13. 1 Fig. 1 Kwon pup This first section of the essay will survey written and visual records--from the Three Kingdom Period (57-668) through the late Chosôn Dynasty and early Colonial Period (1910-1945)--for accounts of popular martial arts practice.
