Korean Traditional Dress : Hanbok The Korean costume is called hanbok. It is characterized by simple lines and no pockets. The women's hanbok comprise a wrap skirt and a bolero-like jacket, and the men's, roomy pants bound at the ankles and a short jacket. Hanbok are worn by Korean's of all ages, particularly on traditional holidays and when attending social affairs having a Korean overtone. Some of the basic elements of today's hanbok, namely the jacket (chogori) and pants (paji), were probably worn at a very early date, but it was not until the Three Kingdoms period (57 B.C.-A.D.668) that the two-piece costume of today began to evolve. Short, tight trousers and tight, waist-length jackets were worn by both men and women during the early part of the period as evidenced by ancient tomb paintings. Toward the end of the Three Kingdoms period, Tang China introduced Koreans to silk mandarin robes and they were adopted for wear by royalty and officials. Noblewomen began to wear full-length skirt-trousers and wide-sleeved, hip-length jackets belted at the waist and noblemen began to wear roomy trousers bound in at the ankles and a narrow, tunic-style jacket cuffed at the wrists and belted at the waist. In the late thirteenth century Koryo, the kingdom that ruled Korea from 918-1392, became a vassal state of Mongolia during the Mongol Chinese Yuan Dynasty. Its twenty-fifth ruler, Chungnyol-wang (r.1274-1308), took as his wife a princess from the court of Kubla Khan and began dressing in Mongol fashion. It is said that within three years of his ascendance to the throne, every official in the Koryo court had shaved his head except for a patch of hair in the middle and had adopted the dress of the Mongolian plains people. During the short time Koryo was a Mongol vassal, three kings were born to Korean-Mongolian queens, which had quite an effect on the social and fashion trends of the times. The skirt (chima) was shortened as was the vest (chogori), which was hiked up above the waist and tied at the chest with a long, wide ribbon instead of belted and the sleeves were curved slightly. The upper classes wore hanbok of closely woven ramie cloth or other high-grade lightweight materials in warm weather and of plain and patterned silks the rest of the year. Commoners were restricted by law as well as resources to cotton at best. The upper classes wore a variety of colors, though bright colors were generally worn by children and young girls and subdued colors by middle-aged men and women. Commoners were restricted by law to everyday clothes of white but for special occasions they wore dull shades of pale pink, light green, gray and charcoal. Both males and females wore their hair in a long pigtail until they were married, at which time the hair was knotted-the mans in a topknot (sangtu) on the top of the head and the womans in a ball just above the nape of the neck. A long pin, or pinyo, was thrust through the knotted hair of the woman as both a fastener and a decoration. The material and length of the pinyo varied according to the wearers class and status. Headwear for men varied according to class and status. --__--__-- Message: 2 From: Olivos@aol.com Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2004 16:39:00 EDT To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Re: wheelchair bound Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I want to thank everyone who gave me input of this topic and especially Mr. Bert Edens for sharing his curriculum with me. I think he did a terrific job with this. I knew I would receive great advice from the MA digest but this is more than I expected! Thanks to all who have contributed so far and those still to come. I have a lot of information and ideas to get started and I'll keep you posted of our progress. Betty --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2004 13:50:32 -0700 (PDT) From: "E.

We have a student who trains at Camp Chat and I have personally attended his seminars. He is a great martial artist, but I would not pay for his video series. Hit a couple of the big national tournaments or I am sure that the NASKA website has a link for ordering videos of tournaments. I know that sportmartialart.com has videos of the latest tournament XMA competitors so, you may want to look at that site. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

You are correct, John, you cannot copyright a name. I believe that would fall under the trademark category. And I believe that legally you can call yourself by any name you want, unless it is done with the intent to defraud. Ray "just call me Midnightblue John" Terry :) rterry@idiom.com P.S.
