The ground- breaking ceremony for the Taekwondo Park will take place on Friday, Taekwondo Day. About 1,500 guests will take part in the event, including many VIPs, such as International Olympic Committee (IOC) members, and representatives from government and the National Assembly. The Taekwondo Park, whose first-phase construction work is set for completion in 2013, will consist of three parts - spirit, mind, and body, which the traditional Korean sport aims to train. The spirit part is a symbolic area. This will be a place where students can realize the original ideas of taekwondo as well as admire a taekwondo grandmaster's spirit and mind. It will be a holy place where people can harmonize their mind with nature. Facilities, such as memorial park, and water terrace observatory will be set for it. The second part is mind, the training area. The World Taekwondo Academy will be located in the area. That is in harmony with nature and will become another landmark of Korea, the mother land of taekwondo. Korean traditional park, operation center, taekwondo research institute, the World Taekwondo Academy, multipurpose playground, out- door training center, training institute, restaurants will help for the purpose. The last one is body, which will allow people to have experience about the martial sport. This will be a public place to experience taekwondo. It will have an arena, which will be regarded as the landmark of the Taekwondo Park, symbolizing three Taeguek, which means taekwondo spirit including heaven, earth and mankind, in the traditional Korean pattern. Taekwondo exhibition/visitor center, out-door experience hall, taekwondo experience hall, taekwondo arena, open plaza, parking lot, poomsae sculpture park, world taekwondo village will be built. The Taekwondo Promotion Foundation, chaired by Lee Dai-soon, who also serves as a vice president of the WTF, will manage the construction of the Taekwondo Park. The foundation has also promoted many projects to strengthen the position of taekwondo as an Olympic sport as well as develop taekwondo as a global sport. The construction will cost $185 million (230 billion won), and the park will open in 2013. Taekwondo is one of Korea's native traditional martial arts. It is a global sport, which is enjoyed by about 70 million people in 189 countries. It is the cultural icon for the nation and has been on the Olympic program since the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. --__--__-- Message: 2 From: Ray To: The_Dojang Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 17:59:14 -0700 Subject: [The_Dojang] Muju to House World Taekwondo Academy Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Muju to House World Taekwondo Academy Korea Times By Yoon Chul 09-03-2009 The World Taekwondo Academy (WTA) will be established as a taekwondo education and research institute that spreads the taekwondo spirit and philosophy all over the world through the highest level of education and training. The WTA, which is designated by the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), will be located within the Taekwondo Park in Muju, whose ground- breaking ceremony will take place on Friday. "On the occasion of the 2009 Taekwondo Day, I would like to offer my congratulation on the ground-breaking of the Taekwondo Park," WTF President Choue Chung-won said. "The World Taekwondo Academy, which will be located within the Taekwondo Park in Muju, Korea, will serve as an international academic center of the WTF for studies, education and research of taekwondo. "The WTA, the Korean version of the International Olympic Academy for the Olympic sport of taekwondo, will be the home of about 70 million taekwondo practitioners around the world," added WTF President Choue. The WTF Rules and Regulations stipulates that "the WTF designates the World Taekwondo Academy, hereinafter known as the WTA, in Korea to function as an international academic center of the WTF for studies, education and research of taekwondo." On Aug. 15, an international symposium on the development of taekwondo curriculum for the WTA took place at the University of California, Berkeley in the United States. The 2009 International Taekwondo Symposium was jointly organized by the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation, which is in charge of the construction and operation of the Taekwondo Park, and UC Berkeley. "To promote taekwondo as a systematic education, study and training course, the present educational system related to taekwondo is not enough." Kim Chong-woong said at the 2009 International Taekwondo Symposium. "To meet these new educational demands, a new educational system is required. That is WTA. The founding of the WTA makes diverse education and training, elevates taekwondo's status and makes original taekwondo's duty perform. "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." --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2009 10:31:29 -0700 (PDT) From: "mp75ftw@yahoo.com" To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Differences in American Sport Tae Kwon Do and Traditional Tae Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net My school lineage is as follows: Chun Chai Qui (Korean Grandmaster) Eugene Percival Jr (US Army stationed in Korea during Korean War) Forrest Blaire (US Student of Eugene Percival Jr) Charles Grahm (US Student of Forrest Blaire) Master Mike Lawrence (US Student of Charles Grahm) Me (US Student of Mike Lawrence) Our style has many hand, joint lock, trapping, throwing, grappling as well as kicking techniques. We also teach Nunchaku, Staff, Tonfa, Sai, Kama, Double Sticks similar to Arnis/Escrima and Sword. I find our style is similar to Hapkido. Observing American Tae Kwon Do, I find it is more kicking oriented with less hand, joint, trapping or grappling techniques. Thoughts on this? --__--__-- _______________________________________________ The_Dojang mailing list The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://the-dojang.net Old digest issues @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com/pub/the_dojang Copyright 1994-2009: Ray Terry and http://MartialArtsResource.com Standard disclaimers apply.
