The practice of Poomse improves breathing and physical control, strength, coordination, timing and balance. It also increases internal strength by conditioning the internal organs and the student masters the ability to use different types of power including stationary or sudden bursts (momentary power). It uses both flowing as well as quick abrupt movements.
The primary forms of Taekwondo are known as the Tae Geuk series. For each belt grading or next level of advancement the Taekwondo student must be able to master the Poomse for that level.
This book covers the first 8 Taekwondo Poomse leading up to the 1st Kup, just before the black belt level. With hundreds of cartoon illustrations it is an ideal and easy to use guide for both children and adults learning Taekwondo Poomse from the 8th-1st Kup. Author by: Kingsley Umoh Language: en Publisher by: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 24 Total Download: 544 File Size: 45,6 Mb Description: This martial arts book digs deep into the standard Taekwondo patterns to extract proven fighting methods that unite ancient philosophy and strategy to teach effective, tactical self defence.
The book follows the history of the Korean people, starting with the myths of its origins dating from 2333 BC, and its culture, focusing on the important historic influences of the surrounding nations. All of these have combined in the development and evolution of the Korean fighting art of Taekwondo. These ancient and deadly fighting techniques have survived over several millennia, ever since people first defended their lives and property from wild beasts and ravaging bands of criminals. The first part of the book shows simple techniques that have been refined using analysis gained by Koreans over the centuries. It is presented in a careful mix of physical exercises that are designed to develop spontaneous response from muscle memory in the event of an unavoidable attack. The second half introduces more advanced students of the martial arts to more complex fighting tactics and the profound philosophy taught to black belts, and is aimed at uniting body, mind, and spirit.

LETTEr ToSTUDENTSDear Taekwondo Family, This manual is dedicated to all the instructors and students. Over the years that our school has been open, many of you have requested written information ranging from the correct Korean names for different stances, blocks, and punches to the origins of Taekwondo itself. I have designed this manual to help answer your questions. It should be used as a reference guide and should help in both learning and teaching Taekwondo. Taekwondo is the most popular martial art in the world. It was a demonstration sport at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, Korea as well as the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. Beginning with the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia it is a full medal sport, one of only two martial arts to have this honorable distinction.
Taekwondo has rapidly grown in popularity through the years due to the immense benefits it provides. Many of my students have found greater self-confidence, physical and mental discipline, and improved health as a result of their training. I hope you will all benefit from Taekwondo as I have through the years.Sincerely, Master Jung Woo Kim1AboUTMASTErJ.W.KiMMaster J.W. Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea and moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil a few years later where he started in Taekwondo at age 4. Over the next years he proceeded to win many of the prestigious tournaments and became a well known competitor. Ever since he achieved his black belt, he has been actively involved in teaching and coaching Taekwondo.
Being accepted at New York University, Master Kim left Brazil to go to New York City at age 18. In only 3 years, he learned English and received a degree in economics. Master Kim is also multilingual. After graduation, Master Kim went on to open J.W. Kim Taekwondo in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Since 1995, J.W.

Kim Taekwondo apart from many schools. We truly believe that the instructors you train with here really are some of the best. Not only because theyve competed in and won numerous state, national, and international tournaments or because theyre physically capable, but also possess many intangibles that our students value. We realize that just because you can perform well does not guarantee you can teach well.
Our instructors all came to J.W. Kim Taekwondo for different reasons; some came for exercise, some for confidence, some for self-defense, and some for focus and self-discipline. Whatever the reason for beginning Taekwondo, they have all been personally and positively influenced by this Korean art. While all of our instructors have different personalities, one thing they all have in common is their love for Taekwondo and a passion to share the experience with as many other people as possible. Leadership is one intangible that we value in our instructors.
Prior to earning their black uniforms, our instructors complete the STORM Team leadership program for at least two years. Our STORM team leadership program teaches team members how to teach students of all age and ability levels.
Active citizenship is another characteristic that sets our instructors apart. All of our instructors exemplify the five Tenets of Taekwondo: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Indomitable Spirit, and Self-Control. Furthermore, many of our instructors regularly engage in community service such as volunteering in hospitals, homeless shelters, veterans associations, and poverty relief programs.Academic prioritization is also important to our instructors. We expect J.W.
Kim instructors to have a minimum of a 3.0 GPA, however, many of our instructors exceed those expectations. Our younger instructors often receive high accolades in high school and continue on to attend college.

Our older instructors all have college degrees and many graduated from college with honors. Additionally, all of our instructors are well rounded. While Taekwondo is a huge component of their lives, it is not the sole component. They all excel at areas outside of the Dojang. Whether its raising a family, academics, business interests, charity work, athletics, technology, art, or other hobbies, they all believe that it is important to be well balanced and accumulate a variety of skills and interests to lead a truly fulfilling life. Lastly, all of our instructors are hungry to learn more.
They lean heavily on Master Kim, each other, and, most importantly, our students to push us to continue learning and perfecting our technique and instruction skills. All schools claim to have good instructors. But ask them, what makes your instructors better than other schools? Few can respond with the exceptional combination of martial arts accomplishments and life accomplishments. Our instructors are all well trained, educated, motivated, and positive people.
Being able to teach and share these skills and experiences is what makes our instructors J. Kim instructors.3HiSTory ofTAEKWoNDoTaekwondo is a Korean martial art that began over 2000 years ago. Archaeologists have found drawings on the walls of ancient tombs that show men practicing different blocks and punches.
The existence of these murals allows historians to date the origins of what we now call Taekwondo to around 50 BC. In ancient times, Korea was divided into 3 kingdoms: Koguryo, Paekje, and Silla. Silla later unified the three kingdoms after winning the war against Paekje in 668 AD and Koguryo in 670 AD. The Hwa Rang Do helped in this unification. The Hwa Rang Do was an elite group of young noble men who devoted themselves to improving both their minds and bodies to better serve their kingdom of Silla. The Hwa Rang Do had an honor code and practiced various forms of martial arts, including Tae Kyon and Soo Bakh Do.
These forms of martial arts are the origins of what we call Taekwondo today. Additionally, the honor code practiced by the Hwa Rang Do is the philosophical basis of modern Taekwondo. Many years of peace followed the unification of the 3 kingdoms and allowed the people of Korea to learn and practice these martial arts.Unfortunately, in 1909 the Japanese invaded Korea and forbid the practice of their martial art, that was then being called Soo Bak. Fortunately, people continued to practice Soo Bak in secret. At the end of WWII, when Japan was driven from Korea, several different styles of martial arts began to develop.
A style or school of martial arts was called a Kwan. Some of the different Kwans that developed were Chung Do Kwan, Moo Duk Kwan, Yun Moo Kwan, and Ji Do Kwan. Although they were similar in many ways, there were small differences.
There was no unified way to bow, punch, kick, or compete. Eventually, the leaders of the separate kwans agreed that the different styles needed to unite in order to grow. In 1955 the kwans unified and in 1957 the name Taekwondo was adopted. In 1973, the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) was founded and in 1980 the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognized the WTF. The 1988 & 1992 Summer Olympics presented Taekwondo as a demonstration sport and beginning with the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia Taekwondo has joined Judo as the only two martial arts to be recognized by the IOC.4PooMSE(forM) ofTAEKWoNDoA poomse is the Korean word for a form.
All students of Taekwondo are required to learn certain forms. As students of the WTF style of Taekwondo you will learn Taegeuk Poomse.
The Taegeuk forms of Taekwondo are paradigms of the martial art. They contain the basic physical movements and also the philosophical thoughts from which the art was derived. Literally, Tae means bigness and geuk means eternity. Combined Taegeuk means great eternity. The 8 patterns of the Taegeuk forms derive their meanings from the basic tenets of the orients oldest philosophical work, The Book of Changes.
Koreans call this book Jooyeok. In the Book of Changes the universe is divided into eight subsequent combinations derived from the major forces of the universe, Yin and Yang. Yin is the ultimate creative power and Yang is the ultimate receptive power. Each combination is represented by a symbol called a trigram, because it contains three lines. As the figure on the following page demonstrates, the 8 trigrams are arranged in a circle around the symbol for Yin and Yang.
Opposite pairs are positioned across the circle from one another, to represent the interdependent polarities that compose the universe. The following chart denotes the eight forms of Taekwondo and their meanings: 1. Taegeuk Taegeuk Taegeuk Taegeuk Taegeuk Taegeuk Taegeuk Taegeuk Il Jang Yi Jang Sam Jang Sa Jang Oh Jang Yook Jang Chil Jang Pal JangKEONKeon Tae Ri Jin Seon Gam Gan GonHeaven & Light Joy Fire & Clarity Thunder Wind Water Mountain Earth Together these concepts and symbols represent the balance of all nature. In the training of Taekwondo, as in life, we hope to find this balance. The poomse carry with them not only the physical movements but also the meaning of Taekwondo.GAMSETA EO N12 5RI368G A N JI NGON745ESSENTiALiNforMATioN AboUTPooMSE(forM)The following should be considered while performing forms: 1.

TAEGEUK PAL JANG Earth. KORYO Named after an old Korean Dynasty. The people from the Goryeo defeated the Mongolian aggressors. It is intended that their spirit is reflectead in the movements of the Poomsae Koryo. Each movement of this Poomse represents the strength and energy needed to control the Mongols. KEUMGANG Means 'diamond,' symbolizing hardness.
Keumgang is also the name of the most beautiful mountain in Korea, as well as the Kuemgang warrior, named by Buddha. Thus, the themes of hardness, beauty, and pondering permeate this Poomse. TAEBEK Translates to 'lightness'. Every movement in this Poomsae is intended to be not only be exact and fast, but with determination and hardness resembling the mountain Baekdoo, the origin of the nation of Korea.
PYONGWON Translates roughly to 'vast plain'. The plain is a source of sustaining the human life and, on the other hand, a great open plain stretching out endlessly gives us a feeling of majesty that is different from what we feel with a mountain or the sea.iTF STyle1. CHONJI Means literally 'the Heaven the Earth'. It is, in the Orient, interpreted as the creation of the world or the beginning of human history, therefore, it is the initial pattern played by the beginner.
This pattern consists of two similar parts; one to represent the Heaven and the other the Earth. DANGUN Named after the holy Dan-Gun, the legendary founder of Korea in the year of 2,333 B.C. DOSAN Pseudonym of the patriot Ahn ChangHo (1876-1938) The 24 movements represent his entire life which he devoted to furthering the education of Korea and its independence movement. WONHYO Noted monk who introduced Buddhism to the Silla Dynasty in the year of 686 A.D.
YULGOK Pseudonym of a great philosopher and scholar Yi l (1536-1584) nicknamed the Confucius of Korea The 38 movements of this pattern refer to his birthplace on 38 latitude, and the diagram represents scholar. JOONGGUN Named after the patriot Ahn JoongGun who assassinated Hiro-Bumi Ito, the first Japanese governor-general of Korea, known as the man who played the leading part in the KoreaJapan merger.
There are 32 movements in this pattern to represent Mr. Ahns age when he was executed in a Lui-Shung prison (1910). TOIGYE Pen name of the noted scholar Yi Hwang (16th century), an authority on neo Confucianism.
The 37 movements of the pattern refer to his birthplace on 37 latitude, and the diagram represents scholar.78. HWARANG Named after the Hwa-Rang youth group, which originated in the Silla Dynasty in the early 7th century. The 29 movements refer to the 29th Infantry Division, where Taekwon-Do developed into maturity. CHOONGMOO Named after the great Admiral Yi Soon-Sin of the Lee Dynasty. He was reputed to have invented the first armored battleship (Kobukson) in 1592, which is said to be the precursor of the present day submarine. The reason why this pattern ends with a left hand attack is to symbolize his regrettable death, having no chance to show his unrestrained potentiality checked by the forced reservation of his loyalty to the king. KWANGGAE Named after the famous KwangGae-Toh-Wang, the 19th King of the Koguryo Dynasty, who regained all the lost territories including the greater part of Manchuria.
The diagram represents the expansion and recovery of lost territory. The 39 movements refer to the first two figures of 391 A. D., the year he came to the throne. POEUN Pseudonym of a loyal subject Chong Mong-Chu (1400) who was a famous poet and whose poem I would not serve a second master though I might be crucified a hundred times is known to every Korean.
