There should be little doubt that the scope of this work is truly unprecedented in the history of Martial Arts. During his lifetime (1918-2002) he wrote seven books on Taekwon-Do which have been translated into at least 10 languages. I am certain that no other Korean Martial Artist can brag of similar accomplishments and do not believe many other Koreans can boast of achieving a comparable level of global recognition for their leadership and teachings. The theme of a 16th volume to supplement, add to, or refine the over 3200 fundamental movements outlined in his life's crowning achievement has been bantered around for some time. Perhaps the first person who suggested this to me is someone who is my friend, colleague and senior – Master Earl Weiss, Esq. His idea was to use a 16th volume to fill in gaps that, for one reason or another, General Choi never had the opportunity to clarify. General Choi, like all human beings, had a limited time on Earth. Like all of us he was imperfect, however he left us with specific instructions to expand upon his teachings. He taught that changes could come, but cautioned us to consider them only after careful deliberation and deep thought. This book however is not primarily concerned with change, but rather addition. It is adding, or actually re-adding, two patterns that have never benefited from the expanded and detailed treatment that the current 24 patterns in the syllabus have had in the Encyclopedia. These two patterns, U-Nam Hyung (as they were called in those days) and Ko-Dang Tul, were removed from the syllabus back in 1960 and the early 1980s, respectfully. Since U-Nam was around only for a brief period of time (removed early on and only appearing in the 1959 Textbook, which was the first ever book on Taekwon-Do and very rare) it came to be called the 10 lost or forgotten pattern. Ko-Dang was of course in both the 1965 first English book as well as the 1972 Textbook. However, none of those books had the detailed and expanded layouts of the pattern's movements like that which appears in the Encyclopedia. So it appears that a Volume 16 which includes both of these heirloom patterns is a great place to start in further documenting General Choi's complete system. When these patterns were removed and replaced, there was the taint of politics involved. However, now in 2016, with General Choi gone, reacquainting the Taekwon-Do world with these gems can be done for pure technical enjoyment, minus any political restrictions or ramifications. Therefore, I salute Instructor Nick Campbell for his groundbreaking work and worthy contribution. My own research uncovered that a pattern named U-Nam (in honor of the first Republic of Korea's President, Dr. Syngman Rhee, Ph.D.) did indeed exist. However, it was by pure coincidence that U-Nam was rediscovered in my digital copy of General Choi’s rare 1959 book. The rediscovery happened at a conference in 2013 where I had only a limited amount of time to try to reconstruct it. The translation efforts were assisted by many, which in the end turned out to be both a blessing and a disadvantage. It gave us a creative opportunity that lacked consistency and an authoritative review. Mr. Campbell's work however was much more exhaustive and has resulted in a much better interpretation and more accurate recreation of this historic lost or forgotten pattern. He has extensively documented the source of every description, foot diagram, and photograph – all of which come directly from General Choi’s books. Likewise, the expanded detail with this pattern and the replaced Ko-Dang Tul provides a uniform addition to the other 15 Volumes. It is exciting to have a definitive way to examine the movements so students all around the world can recreate these Taekwon-Do gems. I appreciate Mr. Campbell’s efforts and I am certain that this Volume 16 will be a great addition to everyone's library. I encourage all students of Taekwon-Do to follow his lead and expand your Martial Arts knowledge. Mr. Campbell has trained in Taekwon-Do for over a decade and has 11 supplemented his Martial Art training and self-defense capabilities by cross training in other Arts. This is also how the Original Taekwon-Do began in the Korean Army as Military Taekwon-Do, which eventually became the Taekwon-Do governed and distributed by the ITF worldwide. Originally started as Mr. Campbell’s 4th degree paper, he has greatly expanded beyond the scope of his organizations’ grading guidelines with a work that can be embraced by all, no matter where they live or train! My sincere thanks and deep appreciation for sharing these historical gems! I whole-heartedly encourage others to submit ideas on adding to this project, either here within subsequent editions of Volume 16 or for Volume 17 and beyond. All Taekwon-Do will be better for it! – Taekwon-Do Historian Dr. George Vitale, Ph.D. (VIII Degree) 12 Catherine Galvin, Dr. George Vitale and Nick Campbell at the Dosanseodang Academy 13 PREFACE (Morimal) In Taekwon[-Do], “form” [tul, pattern] does not merely mean a simple form as in regular sports. It is an expression where every kind of exquisite skill of attack, defense and breaking are gathered together systematically into continuous movements. This makes it the core of the three essential elements of Taekwon[-Do] [forms, sparring and breaking]. For a General like Xiang Yu [項籍 232-202 B.C.] the task of breaking 2-3 bricks was an extremely easy thing. A Taekwon[-Do] opponent is always well trained with quick movements, so there is no use in basing it all on pure physical power. Furthermore, even just by sparring a naturally well-developed athlete, one will be able to hit and receive in a very similar way (as a trained person) even without systematic training and research. But that is not a scientific way of dallyon [conditioning], so in front of an opponent who is stronger and better conditioned one cannot achieve a big result. On the other hand, the forms were realized by several great masters’ long time research and experience, so they cannot be mastered without studying even though the person is strong and has fast movements. About practicing, there is a saying - "one form three years". Accordingly, in order to achieve the profound exquisiteness of each form one must invest a long time in its practice. That’s why the author [General Choi] emphasizes the forms instead of sparring and breaking and has depicted the features of actual fighting of the famous Generals of Korea and researched and improved them into new forms to inspire the patriotism of new generations. One must emphasize on the exactness of the movements and avoid the "dance likeness" of the form in order to show the proper power of Taekwon[-Do]. – “TAEKWON-DO TEXTBOOK” (跆拳道教本, 1959) page 125 14 Ko-Dang and U-Nam, two patterns connected by fate and politics, are invaluable parts of Taekwon-Do’s history. While neither pattern was discarded entirely, both are complete patterns once considered part of the syllabus. Over time, the namesakes of Ko-Dang and U-Nam failed to continue to inspire a positive patriotic image for all Koreans as each presents acute political discomfort for one side of the Korean Peninsula; Ko-Dang for the North and U-Nam for the South. However, as Taekwon-Do’s patterns are the core of the art, both patterns deserve inclusion in this Encyclopedia in order to document the whole of the art equally. The presentations of Ko-Dang and U-Nam presented below have been made as consistent and accurate as possible: • The modernized pattern description text is based on each pattern’s last official published text; Ko-Dang from “TAEKWON-DO: THE KOREAN ART OF SELF-DEFENCE” (1972, 6th Edition 1986) and U-Nam from the “TAEKWON-DO TEXTBOOK” (跆拳道教本, 1959).
