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". Different schools and/or styles may impose different variations on the formal definition however. 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".

Dan patterns:

Poomsae Koryo

Koryo (Korea) is the name of an old Korean Dynasty. The people from the Koryo-period defeated the Mongolian aggressors. Their spirit is reflected in the movements of the Poomse Koryo. Each movement of this Poomse represents the strength and energy needed to control the Mongols.


Poomsae Keumgang

The definition of Keumgang is "Too h3 to be broken", or "diamond". The movements of the Poomse Keumgang are as beautiful as the Keumgang-san (a Korean mountain) and as h3 as Keumgang-seok (diamond).

..................................................Poomsae TaeBaek

The legendary 'Dangoon' founded a nation in Taebaek, near Korea's biggest mountain Baekdoo. Baekdoo is a symbol for Korea. The definition of Taebaek is "lightness". Every movement in this Poomse must not only be exact en fast, but with determination and hardness.


................................................Poomsae Pyongwon

The definition of Pyongwon is "stretch, vast plain": big, majestic.


...................................................Poomsae Sipjin

Sipjin stands for decimal. This Poomse represents the orderliness of the decimal system. It also means the endless development and growth in a systematic order: stability.


....................................................Poomsae Jitae

Jitae is derived from the meaning of the earth. All things evolve from and return to the earth, the earth is the beginning and the end of life.


...........................................................Poomsae Cheonkwon

Cheonkwon means 'sky'. The sky should be seen as ruler of the universe. It is both mysterious, infinite and profound. The motions of Cheonkwon are full of piety and vitality.


..................................................Poomsae Hansoo

This poomse is derived from the fluidity of water which easily adapts within nature.


.....................................................Poomsae Ilyo

The state of spiritual cultivation in Buddhism is called 'Ilyo' which means more or less 'oneness'. In Ilyo, body and mind, spirit and substance, I and you are unified. The ultimate ideal of taekwondo can be found in this state. It is a discipline in which we concentrate on every movement leaving all materialistics thoughts, obsessions and extermal influences behind

     
   



The Tenets of Taekwondo are:

(a) Etiquette

etiquette(noun): 1. conventions of correct or polite social behaviour. 2. rules, usually unwritten ones, regarding the behaviour of members of a particular profession etc towards each other.

(b) Modesty

modest (adj) : not having or showing pride; humble; not pretentious or showy.

(c) Perseverance

perseverance (noun): the act or state of persevering; continued effort to achieve something one has begun, despite setbacks.

(d) Self control

On enrolment, a student will be deemed to have accepted and to have agreed to conform to the "Tenets of Taekwondo" observed by all students. The purpose of this is to cultivate the calmness of mind enabling one to best assimilate the spirit of Taekwondo in training, to accept its responsibilities and to do anything that might discredit them
