The 2009 International Taekwondo Symposium, jointly hosted by the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation and UC Berkeley, drew about 120 taekwondo leaders, academics, and international sports dignitaries. Among the attendees were Mr. Dai-soon Lee, chairman of the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation; Dr. George Killian, president of the International University Sports Federation (FISU); Dr. Ken Min, an honorary professor of UC Berkeley and member of the WTF Council; Mr. Mr. Pranjo Prot, a professor of Zagreb University in Croatia and president of the Croatian Taekwondo Federation; Prof. Russel Ahn of UC Berkeley; and Dr. Chong W. Kim, dean and professor of Management, Lewis College of Business at Marshall University. In his congratulatory speech, TPF Chairman Lee said, “The main purpose of this symposium is to systemize curriculum of taekwondo for the proposed World Taekwondo Academy and thus help cultivate international taekwondo leaders.” “The outcome of this symposium will be presented for the participants in the 2nd International Symposium for Taekwondo Studies on Aug. 12 and 13, 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark on the occasion of the 2009 World Taekwondo Championships,” said Lee, who also serves as vice president of the WTF. WTF President Chungwon Choue said in his congratulatory speech that “Taekwondo studies at universities have contributed to the cultivation of taekwondo leaders and I strongly believe that this symposium for the development of curriculum for the World Taekwondo Academy will greatly help promote taekwondo around the world.” In his key-note speech, FISU President Dr. Killian said, “Without visa problems, seven more countries could have participated in the taekwondo competition at the 2009 Summer Universiade in Belgrade, Serbia. Taekwondo athletes, however, showed their best performances during the Universiade.” A total of 430 athletes from 70 countries participated in the taekwondo competition of the 2009 Universiade, the third largest in terms of participating athletes and medal tally after athletics and swimming. Under the main theme “Establishment of World Taekwondo Academy: Its Purpose and Rile,” Dr. Chong W. Kim said, “To promote taekwondo as a systematic education and study and training course, the present educational system related to taekwondo is not enough.” “To meet these new educational demands, a new educational system is required. That is WTA. The founding of the WTF makes diverse education and training demanded in that both external and internal come true, elevates taekwondo’s status and makes original taekwondo’s duty perform,” he continued. Dr. Kim said, “WTA is an educational institute, where leaders from all social standings, students and professionals related to taekwondo spread its spirit and Olympic spirit, study taekwondoism, enhance Olympic spirit, and deal with subjects related to taekwondo.”“The aim of founding WTA is to enhance knowledge related to taekwondo and make all countries develop the ability to perform. This aim as an Olympic sport will make taekwondo spread and practice Olympic spirit, enhancing world peace and love for humankind. Also taekwondo practice makes people practice to reach patience and self-control.” “Like this, based on the mission and aim of WTA, it is very useful to establish vision –“to realize the Olympic spirit and love for humankind through cultivating taekwondo spirit,” Dr. Kim said. “To accomplish this, first is the mission to practice and study taekwondo spirit, second is to plan spreading the Olympic movement and spirit, third is to make circumstance to play fairly taekwondo as a sport, and last one is to contribute to make its status higher enhancing business ability related to it.” Concerning the division of curriculum, he said, “All the curriculum of WTA is for performing the vision and mission of WTA. The mission of WTA is to develop curriculum for all the people who do not know what taekwondo is, not to mention taekwondo men.” He divided the curriculum into two: leadership session and skill improvement. --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2009 18:36:34 -0700 From: The_Dojang To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] =?windows-1252?Q?Taekwondo=92s_Future_Brighter_claims_Choue?= Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Taekwondo’s Future Brighter as it Has Secured a Place in 2016 Olympic Program as Core Sports, WTF President Says 23 Aug 2009 Taekwondo’s status as an Olympic status is brighter as it has secured a place in the 2016 Olympic program, says WTF President Chungwon Choue. “As taekwondo has secured its place in the 2016 Olympic Games as one of the 26 core sports, these positive changes promise a brighter future of taekwondo as an Olympic sport,” said WTF President Choue. He made the remarks during the opening ceremony of the 5th Korea Open International Taekwondo Championships at the Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon, west of Seoul, Korea on Aug. 18, 2009. The WTF-sanctioned Korea Open drew more than 1,200 athletes and officials from more than 50 countries. Dr. Choue’s remarks came days after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board proposed the list of 26 core sports, including taekwondo, and two additional sports, rugby and golf, in the 2016 Olympic program on Aug. 13, 2009. The IOC EB’s latest decision completely brushed aside ungrounded rumors and speculations about taekwondo’s future. On Aug. 14, WTF President Choue sent a letter to 189 WTF member national associations, in which he said that “With the news, I assure you that taekwondo as one of the 26 core sports is officially on the Olympic program for both London 2012 and the 2016 Games, putting an end to the controversy on this issue.” “I wish to dedicate this moment of triumph to all our taekwondo family who devoted their time and effort for the promotion of the sport of taekwodno and development of taekwondo as an Olympic sport. I will commit myself to further enhancement of taekwondo in each member national association on this meaningful occasion,” he said. “As the President of the WTF, I thank you for working with us for the cause of taekwondo, which, I believe, are being rewarded with great pride and joy. I express my heartfelt appreciation to you for your ceaseless support and cooperation. Let us enjoy the victory we have achieved together.” Dr. Choue said in his congratulatory speech, “We should not forget that there were efforts of many striving to make the sport of taekwondo fairer and more exciting, therefore, bringing it closer to the Olympic ideals.” He said, “From a martial art, taekwondo has successfully transformed itself into a global sport that enjoys the Olympic status.”“We cannot take this for granted. Our ceaseless efforts for the betterment of taekwondo and the unwavering support of the the taekwondo family from 189 member nations together brought such a remarkable change in the sport of taekwondo.” At the 2009 WTF World Cup Taekwondo Team Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan on June 11-14, 2009, we saw a more dynamic and fairer taekwondo competition with the introduction of an instant video replay system and a new scoring system that grants up to three points per kick to the head, under the revised WTF Competition Rules, as well as the use of electronic body protectors. The just-ended Korea Open was a great success in that the taekwondo competitions were action-packed and fairer than ever before. “The WTF is bringing taekwondo beyond a mere sport as a means of youth education and world peae in line with the pursuit of the IOC,” WTF President Choue said. “The WTF Taekwondo Peace Corps reached 13 countries in the year 2008 alone. Currently, a total of 48 members of the Taekwondo Peace Corps are doing their voluntary taekwondo training service in 12 countries,” he said. “Also the inaugural World Youth Taekwondo Camp in Seoul and Muju, Korea on Aug. 6-11, 2009 was a great success, as it drew about 260 athletes and officials from 33 countries, featuring the Friendship Koyugi Competition, which served as a rehearsal for the taekwondo competition of the 2010 Singapore Youth Olympic Games.” In a recent interview with the JoonAng Daily, an English daily newspaper in Korea, Dr. Choue said, “I am happy about the (IOC Executive Board) news. As long as taekwondo is an Olympic sport, we need to show proper progress as an international federation.” “In many countries, taekwondo is the most popular sport after football,” Dr. Choue said. “I am happy to see the sport is catching on and developing in many areas.” The WTF has a global membership of 189 countries, ranking among the top 10 of International Sports Federations. The WTF membership is expected to exceed the 190-mark by the upcoming WTF General Assembly in October 2009. The JoonAng Daily said that “Choue has initiated several reforms in order to make taekwondo an exciting and global sport with a long-term view of making the sport an official Olympic event in the future.” The daily cited as major changes an expanded WTF office in Lausanne, Switzerland, which will handle all international relations, sports marketing and doping-related work, the launch of the World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships in 2006, the creation of the WTF World Para-Taekwondo Championships in 2009, the launch of the WTF Taekwondo Peace Corps, and the introduction of a WTF world athlete ranking system. In his congratulatory speech on May 5, 2009 on the occasion of the opening of the expanded WTF Office in Lausanne, IOC President Jacques Rogge spoke well of taekwondo and the WTF by saying, “I would like to thank the WTF for its exemplary collaboration with the IOC. If I make a comparison between Sydney 2000 and now, there is a huge change.”“You have changed from a rather conservative sport into a very modern, dynamic sport.” --__--__-- Message: 3 From: Ray To: The_Dojang Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:43:31 -0700 Subject: [The_Dojang] Billy Jack rides again Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net fwiw...

Steven Lopez did the same following a defeat in the Olympic quarterfinals. There’s now far less crying in taekwondo — most tears dried by the implementation of an electronic scoring system that reduced controversy Friday in the inaugural U.S. under-24 national team trials at the Olympic Training Center. LaJust electronic body protectors (high-tech hogus, or vests) are lined with sensors on the front and sides, and competitors wear electronic socks comprised of stainless steel cloth. When the cloth meets the sensors, points register on a scoreboard near the mat. Three judges — one fewer than last year — use handheld clickers to record three-point head shots, and a referee still patrols the mat, enforcing infractions. Tests are performed on the hogus before each match, then green lights on the left shoulders confirm they’re working. USA Taekwondo boss David Askinas said, “It takes away an element of subjectivity. Some of the things that used to score may not score, but you can’t blame a ref for that.” Olympian Barb Kunkel said competitors are asking, “Where is the best angle to score? … You have to turn the hips over, and your technique --__--__-- Message: 5 Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 07:25:08 -0700 (PDT) From: Jye nigma To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Fw: heel hook tactics Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Sifu Rich Garcia Ground fighting Tactics Part 4 (Flying scissor) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGFRkor4TbY   __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
