My question is are these 'kata' like a JuJutsu Kata or Tomiki Aikido Kata or are they more like a Taekwondo poomse/hyung? Would someone please describe/document/outline a simple example of one of these Hapkido 'katas'? >> Ray, Don't know about Hapkido doing "kata" but my school in Korea does Hyung, and I teach them and require them for promotions here too. The ones I learned in Korea, and teach are much more flowing with circular movements than the TKD forms I have learned or watched. But they are a form that flows from one movement to the next incorporation kicks, elbows, a variety of blocks and strikes, etc. Alain ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Tue, 01 Feb 2000 20:53:29 PST Subject: the_dojang: Review of Korean Studies Forwarding. Ray ====================================================================== The Review of Korean Studies is a fully refereed journal dedicated to promoting Korean Studies on an international level. The Review is published by The Academy of Korean Studies (homepage: www.aks.ac.kr), and the latest issue, volume 2, was put out in September 1999. The Review is designed to afford Koreanists in all fields of Korean Studies throughout the world the opportunity to publish the results of their research. This is, in the opinion of the Academy, one of the best ways to advance Korean Studies as an academic discipline. Each issue of the Review has several articles on a special topic in addition to other papers on various subjects. The Review also has a special Korean Studies forum that provides a platform for scholars to voice their opinions on critical issues in Korean Studies. Additionally, there is a substantial book review section covering books in both English and Korean on issues of importance to the field.

Ray ============================================================= Greetings Korean Studies colleagues, This message is for those in North America; apologies to those of you in Europe, Korea, and elsewhere. The following notice was just posted by our colleague at UMich, Henry Em; thanks to him for posting it, but I want to add a message about this new program, and I hope this will help more of you to encourage your students to apply for this new grant. This grant is a significant opening of funding opportunity. Heretofore, only five major graduate schools in North America were receiving support for grad students -- Berkeley, Hawaii, UCLA, Harvard and Columbia. Students at all other schools that offer graduate programs in Korean studies were not eligible for support. Now they are! This is a great step forward for students at USC, San Diego, Washington, Chicago, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Georgetown, George Washington, Maryland, Yale, McGill, British Columbia, and some other schools that do not now come to mind. We have had little lead time in announcing this program and almost waited a year before implementing it, but, we were this close and decided to move ahead, rather than loose the money. So, will you who have students who might be eligible, encourage them to apply for this large and important grant. Mark Peterson Chair, Committee on Korean Studies >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KOREAN STUDIES SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM -- DEADLINE EXTENDED Since this is a new program, and was announced late, many students probably did not hear about it in time. We are accordingly extending the deadline to February 15, and ask for the assistance of all Koreanists in publicizing the program. Please tell your colleagues and students! The Association for Asian Studies in collaboration with the Korea Foundation is pleased to announce the establishment of the Korea Foundation Korean Studies Graduate Scholarship Program in North America. This program seeks to promote Korean studies and foster young scholars in this field by providing graduate students majoring in Korean studies in North America with scholarships for their coursework and/or research while enrolled at their home institutions. It covers students only through the year that they are advanced to candidacy (not Ph.D. dissertation research or writing grants) and only if they are in residence (not overseas research). Please refer to the Korea Foundation Fellowship program for research abroad funding possibilities. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: 1. MA or PhD level students majoring in Korean studies at any university in North America except for those universities with which the Foundation already has an existing scholarship program (Harvard, Columbia, UC-Berkeley, UCLA, and Hawaii). 2. Fields of Study: Korea-related coursework and research in the humanities and social sciences, culture and arts, and comparative research related to Korea. Natural sciences, medical sciences and engineering fields are not eligible. SCHOLARSHIP TERMS: 1. Scholarships are for one academic year only, to begin in the fall of 2000. Scholarship recipients may reapply in succeeding years for additional support, however, they will be judged competitively against that year's pool of applicants and preference may be given to applicants who have not previously received an award through the program. 2. Scholarship amounts will be determined by the review committee, but generally will be in the range of $10,000-$20,000. Awards will be provided in the form of flat stipends and are intended to cover living expenses and/or tuition costs. We anticipate being able to award 5-8 scholarships for the 2000 academic year. 3. Scholarship recipients are required to submit a report on their academic/research activities at the conclusion of their scholarship period. ELIGIBILITY: 1. Applicants should be expected to show sufficient ability to use Korean-language sources in their study and research. This ability should be mentioned in the applicant's cover letter, and in addition, one (of three) required letters of recommendation must be a language reference from an advisor or language instructor attesting to the student's language ability. 2. This program is intended for students majoring in Korean studies at U.S./Canadian universities. Korean nationals are eligible to apply only if they have permanent residency status in the U.S. or Canada. 3. Students who are receiving support from other programs administered by the Foundation, such as the Korea Foundation Fellowships for Korean Studies or Korean Language Training, are not eligible for concurrent support under this program. CO-ORGANIZER: This program is co-organized by the Korea Foundation and the Northeast Asia Council (NEAC) of the Association for Asian Studies. The Committee on Korean Studies of NEAC will serve as the review committee, evaluate applications and recommend selections to NEAC. The selection process follows the normal practices and procedures common to standard peer review in the United States. The process of peer review is intended to ensure that applications are judged fairly by a panel of experts and to prevent either the actuality or the suggestion of improper interference on the part of the organizations involved in designing, administering or funding the competition. APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Applications will consist of 1) a 3-5 page narrative proposal outlining research interests and academic progress of the student; 2) grade transcripts of coursework; and 3) three letters of recommendation, one of which must be from someone able to attest to the applicant's language ability. Completed applications must be postmarked by February 15, 2000, and sent to: the Association for Asian Studies, 1021 E. Huron Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48104. Envelopes should be clearly marked "KF Scholarship." The AAS secretariat will collect and forward applications to the review committee members, who will rank each application separately, and then meet together at the AAS annual meeting in March to reach a consensus on which applicants to award. Applicants will be notified of the outcome in April. Questions concerning the program may be directed to Michael Paschal by email mpaschal@aasianst.org, or by telephone at 734-665-2490. ------------------------------ From: ABurrese@aol.com Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 01:23:56 EST Subject: the_dojang: Quote to consider I got this from my friend Marc. Think about it... This came from an Orson Scott Card book "Ender's Game" it is exactly why I have so much trouble with most so-called "self-defense" training -- it doesn't take this raw reality into consideration "I am your enemy, the first one you've ever had who was smarter than you. There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy will show you were you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you" ------------------------------ From: STisorwall@aol.com Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 01:35:52 EST Subject: the_dojang: Re: Cross-training Hi Piotr: Thanks for your interest. The structure of our program is pretty flexible. All students (as far as I know) have the opportunity to train 3-5 days a week in TKD. Motivated students (for an additional fee schedule), and any black belt may participate in weekly cross training classes that run in addition to the regular courses. This ~1.5 hour period (Black Belt Club, or BBC) is structured according to the instructor teaching that day. All the instructors are 3rd dan TKD, are jujitsu black belts (I'm not sure if there's a minimum degree) and are certificated masters in escrima. The students have a choice about what they want to participate in..some folks aren't as keen on jujutsu..everyone seems to like escrima. Higher ranked students who show particular aptitude in escrima receive additional, more sophisticated instruction in tactical baton, collapsible whips, etc. There's some sort of Master program that only the dan-ranked students participate in as well. Gup-ranked TKD students are encouraged to participate in the jujitsu and escrima training, provided they have shown adequate self-control and initiative in their TKD training. The jujitsu program works through the traditional kyu-dan progression. The program covers yawara, nage, gatame, shime, oku, shinen, and shinyo arts as well as knife and firearm techniques. Assuming that a dan-ranked student takes full advantage of the training opportunities, they would receive weekly 5 hours of TKD, and 3 hours of jujitsu/escrima per week (assuming they attend both BBC and Masters training). There's only a very few who do this...they are extremely formidable fighters (and are also polite, respectful people who are a genuine pleasure to be around). I hope to be one someday. Its not often that I find myself wanting to emulate the behavior of a high school student 12 years my junior. These guys rate it. I hope you find this informative. - -JW Oh...I should probably mention that we (naturally) have a URL. I'll preface it by saying that Mr. Tabuchi has plans for a more instruction-oriented site...he's a bit embarrassed by the impression that this site seems to be all about him! Its not really..and I think its a pretty good initial attempt..no I had nothing to do with writing it ;) http://www.blackbeltonline.com/ ------------------------------ From: mctague@worldnet.att.net Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2000 13:35:28 +0000 Subject: the_dojang: re: Hapkido Kata The World Traditional Hapkido Federation has five forms listed in GM Jung Hwa Park's book that are similar to Tae Kwon Do forms. I don't believe they are required anymore. ------------------------------ From: Kim Jones Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 06:33:49 -0800 (PST) Subject: the_dojang: Place to find Hapkido "kata" Hey all-- I have heard about Hapkido having "kata" that went along with the self-defense techniques, but when I took it up for a year when I was last in Korea, I only learned the techniques. Maybe the forms aren't learned until after black belt (I only got to be able to test for red before I moved back Stateside)...I certainly didn't hear of Hapkido forms until I went back stateside, but if anybody has a resource for finding the form movements, I'd greatly appreciate it. (I'm starting to go back to working on my Hapkido techniques to put some variety in my home routine.) ===== ~~Kim Jones *ladytimberland@yahoo.com* ICQ: 52828008 AOL: Lady Timberland "I've kept the rain falling down on me all the time." ~Roxette, "The Rain" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
