¢º Basic skill : Step, Kick, Hit, Defense...
¢º Poomsae :
Taekwondo Poomsae is meant by a "Form" in
which a self-practice is devised to be performed in
following the lines of movement in a systematic and consecutive
way against an imaginary opponent or multi-opponents
by using various Taekwondo technics of hand and foot.
Through
practising Taekwondo Poomsae, we can apply the technics of hand
and foot and the changes of stance learned from the
basic technics adaptably to an actual fighting. It also provides
us with the effection improving flexibility of body
and being skilled in strength control, balance control, breath
control, eye control and concentration of spirit, as well as cultivating
martial art spirit through its mental discipline.
A taekwondo 'Poomsae' comprises various stance,
each with its peculiar nature but each blending into
the other. A 'poomsae' consists of about two dozen stances interconnected.
Blocking, punching, striking, thrusting and kicking
are among Taekwondo Poomsae, and these are properly carried out
with hands, fists and feet to the vital sport of the
body or target at which they aimed, and the stances accordingly
chnge forward stance, back stance, cat stance and horseriding stance,
etc. as the situation requires. Most typical 'Poomsae'
are Palgwe I-VIII,
Taeguk I-VIII,
Goryo,
Gumgang,
Taebaek,
Pyongwon,
Shipjin,
Jitae,
Chunkwon,
Hansu and
Ilyeo,
TAEGUK
: This
represents the most profound oriental philosophy from which philosophical
views on the world, cosmos and life are derived. The Taeguk Poomsae
consists of different movements in sequence. The vital points of
this Poomsae are to make exact the speed of breath and action and
move the body weight properly while executing speedy actions. Thus
we can fully realize the main thought of Taeguk.
PALGWE
: Supplementary Training.
The
thought of Plagwe, another concept of the ancient Oriental Philosophy,
implies symbolically all the phenomena of man and universe.
GORYO : Goryo
is the name of an ancient dynasty in the Korean peninsula. The English
name of "Korea" originated from the name of this "Goryo"
dynasty with which was famed for the valiant spirit of its people
which tey defeated the Mongolian aggression. Goryo Poomsae is based
on spirit of / sonbae(Sonbi) which was inherited from Goruryo to
Balhae and to Koryo. Songae means strong martial art and honest
spirit of scholars.
GUMGANG : The
word "Gumgang" has originally the meaning of being too
strong to be broken. Also in Buddhism, what can break off every
agony of mind with combination of wisdom and virtue is called "Gumgang".
The Poomsae "Gumgang"is named after Mount Gumgang, symbol
of solidity. "Gumgan"is also anlogous of "diamond".
TAEBAEK
: "Taebaek" is the ancient
name of Mount Baekdu where the legendary Dangun founded a nation
for the first time in the Korean peninsula 4,329 years ago on Dangun
calendar (1996 A.D.=4329 Dangun year). Poomsae "Taebaek"
takes its principles of movement from the word "Taebaek"
which means being looked up to as sacred.
PYONGWON : "Pyongwon"
is meant by 'vast plain'. The plain is a source of sustaining the
human life and, on the other hand, a great open plain stretching
out endlessly gives us a feeling of majesty that is different from
what we feel with a mountain or the sea. An application of the providence
of the plain which is blessed with abundance and grace as well as
boundless vastness into the practice of Taekwondo is Poomsae Pyongwon
(plain).
SHIPJIN
: Shipjin has the meaning of 'decimal
system' which stands for a symbolical figure of 10 meaning endless
development and growth in a systematic order. In Poomsae shipjin,
stability is sought in every change of movements.
JITAE
: According to the oriental belief,
all living things come from and return to the earth(Jitae is derived
from the meaning of the earth). The earth is indeed the origin and
terminal of life. Living things as well as all the natural phenomena
of the earth Poomsae "Jitae" is the movement which supplies
these features of the earth.
CHUNKWON : Chunkown"
signifies the sky. From ancient times the orientals have always
believed and worshipped the sky as ruler of the universe and human
beings. The infinitely vast sky may be a mysterious and profound
world of imagination in the eyes of finite human beings. Poomsae
Chunkwon is composed of the motions which are full of piery and
vitality.
HANSU : Poomsae "Hansu" derived from the
word 'water' is typical with its fluidity and adaptability as manifested
in the nature of water.
ILYEO
: "Ilyeo" signifies oneness.
In buddhism the state of spiritual cultivation is said to be
"Ilyeo"(oneness), in which body and mind, I(subject) and
you(object), spirit and substance are unified into oneness. The
ultimate ideal of Taekwondo lies in this state of Ilyeo. The final
goal Taekwondo pursues is indeed a discipline in which we concentrate
attention pursues is indeed a discipline in which we concentrate
attention on every movement, shaking off all worldly thoughts and
obsessions.
¢º Kyorugi
:
Kyorugi is an integral whole of Taekwondo.
It is an wholistic physical activity that utilizes the muscles and
the joints of the entire body. In general, Kyorugi is a combat activity
in which two competitors stand facing each other and compete with
their offensive and/or defensive techniques.
There are
two types in Kyorugi : Mach'wo Kyorugi and chary Kyorugi.
Mach'wo
Kyorugi is arranged sparring that is performed in a prearranged
manner utilizing the basic Taekwondo skills and applied techniques
of the poomsae. Mach'wo Kyorugi helps the practitioners enhance
mental focus, distance control, sense of the target, timing and
accuracy. There are three types of Mach'wo kyorugi : Sebon Kyorugi,
Tubon Kyorugi, and Hanbon Kyorugi.
Chayu Kyorugi is a free
sparring, which requires absolute strictness in enforcing the safety
rules.
There are two types of Chayu Kyorugi : Yonsup Kyorugi
and shihap Kyorugi.
The most important factors in Chayu
Kyorugi are agility, power, conditioning, judgement, courage, strategy,
psychological elements and techniques.
Shipap Kyorugi is
the limelight that enabled Taekwondo to be accepted as an official
2000 year Summer Olympic Games. In order to ensure the safety of
the competitors, it is mandatory for competitors to wear head gear,
trunk protector, forearm guard, shin guard, groin guard and breast
guard. For fair judgement, an electronic score board and simultaneous
scoring system are used.
¢º Kyokpa :
Kyokpa is one of methods that is used
to measure the power and speed of the practitioner vy applying a
variety of taekwondo skills to boards, bricks or any chosen material
with application of physical force and mental concentration.
Kyokpa is one of the most mystical aspects of the Taekwondo
training experience. The bodily parts that are mostly used in Kyonkpa
are the fist, knife-hand, ball of the foot, and side blade of the
foot.
There are many techniques available such as single
technique, multiple techniques, standing techniques, jumping techniques,
aerospinning techniques, and multiple aerial techniques.
The most critical components in Kyokpa execution are technique,
power, flexibility, speed, focus, and agility. Kyokpa is one of
the ultimate experiences of the art. It provides a strong motivation
for the practitioners and spectators to further the understanding
and practice the art of Taekwondo.
¢º Hosinsul (Self Defence) :
People are easily inclined to believe the fact that Taekwondo is exclusively made up of techniques using only the legs. This very thought is incorrect, however, since Taekwondo gained popularity as a sport Taekwondo has developed into a strong sports neglecting the more emotional side and the part of Taekwondo and continues to practice and develop the art of self defence and it is also a part of the demonstration. Self defense is, when facing the enemy or when put in a disadvantageous situation, the skill to control the enemy and the skillful use of techniques to protect oneself.
Empty Hand Self Defence : In this setting, where
good meets evil, enemies are facing each other displaying a variety
of exciting techniques enabling the audiences to become one with
the performers. The demonstration is divided into one on self defense
and self defense against 2 or more attackers
Comical Self Defence : The contents of this display are to show
a practical and realistic application of Taekwondo movements and
to show their destruction power.
The show features some female
Taekwondo practitioners who are forced to take action in order to
protect themselves.
Self
Defence Against Weapons : This method of self defense has two purposes.
1) To be able to defend yourself in a situation when the opponent
uses a weapon. 2) To teach you how to use personal effects as weapons
for self defense.
Self defense using a
belt (a dobog belt or a strap
like thing is used to pacify the enemy)
Self
defense using an umbrella or a cane
(pacifying the enemy with a cane or umbrella)
Self
defense using a newspaper or a cane
(a newspaper or a short stick is used for self defense)
