They will still have there own forms, tech's, etc. But they now will be able to train and compete in olympic style sparring. Also the Kukkiwon forms will be the same, but they will be more standardized for competition. The different org's., school's, etc all do the Kukkiwon forms a little differently, and they have gotten away with it. But the Kukkiwon want's them done a certain way now that their pushing for forms competition.  Quality control, mmmmm! We shall see.

Ray Terry rterry@idiom.com --__--__-- Message: 11 Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2006 08:40:09 -0800 From: Ray Terry To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] WTF Issues Newly Revamped Official Publication Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net WTF Issues Newly Revamped Official Publication The World Taekwondo Federation has issued its newly revamped official publication, as part of its reform programs. Epitomizing its enthusiasm and progressive mindset in leading taekwondo and the WTF in the new century, the WTF issued the new WTF Taekwondo magazine on Feb. 3, 2006. The annual official publication of the federation is a radical shift from the previous ones, which were published quarterly. The 162-page magazine, with a new cover, layout and design, is a summary of the previous year's events, competition results and major events throughout the world of taekwondo. It also provides events of this year, interviews with taekwondo people and useful information on taekwondo. The WTF published an initial 4,000 copies of the magazine, which the federation has mailed to WTF member national associations, international referees, international sports federations, and the International Olympic Committee, as well as major taekwondo-related organizations. For the production of the magazine, the WTF created a four-member task force, headed by Mr. Seok-jae Kang, director of the WTF's PR Division, in November last year. Other members of the task force are Mr. Jerry Ling, Ms. Miri Kim and Ms. Jee Hee Vanden Berghe. The table of contents and the composition of the magazine are categorized according to the eight trigrams of Taegeuk, which is an Oriental symbol depicting the unity between the heaven and the earth; the harmony of two opposites, yin and yang. "The significance of the eight trigrams - Geon, Tae, I, Jin, Son, Gam, Gan and Gon - corresponds respectively with the principles of the WTF in the development of taekwondo over the years," according to the rationale of new WTF Taekwondo magazine. The use of colors of the five Olympic Rings to organize the magazine underlies the commitment of the WTF to internationalizing the sport and organization. "Taken together, the two main themes - the philosophies of the Taegeuk and the colors of the Olympic Movement - embody taekwondo's Oriental roots, at the same time embracing the best practices of the international sport fraternity." In a move to get across our message to the world sports community, we put a "Tribute to the Spirit of Humanity" on the second page of the magazine, in which it read, "The noble undertaking of helping the needy committed in our name and those of our global partners embody the very essence of our principles: to develop taekwondo, and to develop the community through taekwondo." The magazine, which is scheduled to be published in January every year, contains four interview articles on taekwondo players and one interview story with a female international referee. It also features contributions from chairmen of major WTF committees, and heads of the WTF's five regional taekwondo unions. The last segment of the eight sections is a summary of the WTF's activities in 2005, which contained amended rules and regulations, competition results, and lists of member national associations. The WTF first published its official publication in August 1976 in the name of the World Taekwondo. It then changed the name into the WTF Taekwondo in March 1981. A total of 92 issues were published until March 2005. Meanwhile, the WTF sent a newly designed e-newsletter on Feb. 7, 2006, to its member national associations, international referees and international sports federations. As part of its reform programs, the WTF started sending its bimonthly e-newsletters to its members in June 2005. --__--__-- Message: 12 Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2006 11:59:47 -0800 From: Ray Terry To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] smoke pot, lose your medal Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net USA Taekwondo Athlete Accepts Sanction For Doping Violation February 6, 2006 The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced today that Charles Smith of Fort Washington, Maryland, an athlete in the sport of Taekwondo, tested positive for a prohibited substance and accepted a suspension for his first doping offense. Smith, 21, tested positive for metabolites of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) at the Round Robin Fight Off on January 7, 2006. Cannabinoids are listed as "specified substances" and are prohibited under the USADA Protocol and the rules of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), the international federation for the sport of Taekwondo, which have adopted the World Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List. Cannabinoids are listed as "specified substances" because they are less likely to be abused as doping agents. Smith accepted a 3-month suspension. As part of his sanction, Smith agreed to participate in an anti-doping educational program. Upon completion of the program, he is eligible for a three-month period of deferment, allowing for a return to competition as of the completion date. As a result of the doping violation, Smith has been disqualified from the final match of the Round Robin Fight Off and forfeits his 2nd place finish in that match. His overall record for the Round Robin Fight Off, including the forfeit in the final match, will give Smith the #2 seed heading into the upcoming National Team Fight-Off on Feb. 16 in Dallas. Smith's participation at the National Team Fight-Off is contingent upon his completing the anti-doping educational program. "USA Taekwondo does not condone the use of specified or performance-enhancing substances as identified by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency," said USA Taekwondo CEO and Secretary General David Askinas. "We have a great deal of respect for the work USADA does and are fortunate to have the benefit of their professional testing mechanisms. We will abide by their decision in this matter." USADA is responsible for the testing and results management process for athletes in the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement. USADA is equally dedicated to preserving the integrity of sport through research initiatives and educational programs. --__--__-- Message: 13 Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2006 12:48:43 -0800 (PST) From: freddie bishop To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] new forms Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net the Koreans are changing things too often, the Okinawans are still practicing the forms they were doing back in 1920 or earlier. Its amazing to me to see what all those movements are in the bunkai. How much more traditional can you get, practicing the original versions of Pyong An hyung which are also the inspiration for the Palagae and Tae Guek hyung.
