Kim & Cam’sTaekwondo AcademyLetter to StudentsDear Taekwondo Family,This manual is dedicated to all of the instructors and students. Over the years that our school has beenopen, 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 tohelp answer your questions. It should be used as a reference guide and should help in both learningand teaching Taekwondo.Taekwondo is the most popular martial art in the world. It was a demonstration sport at the 1988Summer 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 twomartial 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 improvedhealth as a result of their training. I hope you will all benefit from Taekwondo as I have through theyears.Sincerely,Master Cameron B. WeberϮ

Kim & Cam’sTaekwondo AcademyHistory of TaekwondoTaekwondo is a Korean martial art that began over 2000 years ago. Archaeologists havefound drawings on the walls of ancient tombs thatshow men practicing different blocks and punches. The existence of these murals allows historiansto date the origins of what we now call Taekwondoto around 50 BC.In ancient times, Korea was divided into threekingdoms: Koguryo, Paekje, and Silla. Sillalater unified the three kingdoms after winning the war against Paekje in 668 AD and Koguryo in 670 AD. The Hwa Rang Do helped in thisunification. The Hwa Rang Do was an elite groupof young noble men who devoted themselves toimproving both their minds and bodies to betterserve their kingdom of Silla. The Hwa RangDo had an honor code and practiced variousforms of martial arts, including Tae Kyon and SooBakh Do. These forms of martial arts are the origins of what we call Taekwondo today. Additionally, the honor code practiced by the Hwa Rang Dois the philosophical basis of modern Taekwondo.Many years of peace followed the unification ofthe three kingdoms and allowed the people of Korea to learn and practice these marital arts.Unfortunately, in 1909 the Japanese invaded Korea and forbid the practice of their marital 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 fromKorea, several different styles of martial arts began to develop. A style or school of martialarts was called a “Kwan”. Some of the different Kwans that developed were “Chung Do Kwan”,“Moo Duk Kwan”, “Yun Moo Kwan”, and “Ji DoKwan”. 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 kwansagreed that the different styles needed to unite inorder to grow.In 1955, the kwans unified and in 1957, thename Taekwondo was adopted. In 1973, theWorld Taekwondo Federation (WTF) was foundedand in 1980, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognized the WTF. The 1988 & 1992Summer Olympics presented Taekwondo as ademonstration sport and beginning with the2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia,Taekwondo has joined Judo as the only twomartial arts to be recognized by the IOC.ϱ
Kim & Cam’sTaekwondo AcademyPoomsae (Forms) of Taekwondo"Poomsae" 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 Poomsae. The Taegeukforms of Taekwondo are paradigms of the martial art. They contain the basic physical movements andalso the philosophical thoughts from which the art was derived.Literally, “Tae” means bigness and “geuk” means eternity. Combined Taegeuk means “greateternity”. The 8 patterns of the Taegeuk forms derive their meanings from the basic tenets of theorient’s oldest philosophical work, The Book of Changes. Koreans call this book Jooyeok. In theBook of Changes the universe is divided into eight subsequent combinations derived from the majorforces 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 thefigure on the following page demonstrates, the 8 trigrams are arranged in a circle around the symbolfor Yin and Yang. Opposite pairs are positioned across the circle from one another, to represent theinterdependent polarities that compose the universe.The following chart denotes the eight forms of Taekwondo and their meanings:1. Taegeuk Il Jang2. Taegeuk Yi Jang3. Taegeuk Sam Jang4. Taegeuk Sa Jang5. Taegeuk Oh Jang6. Taegeuk Yuk Jang7. Taegeuk Chil Jang8. Taegeuk Pal JangKeonTaeRiJinSeonGamGanGonHeaven & LightJoyFire & ClarityThunderWindWaterMountainEarthTogether these concepts and symbols represent the balance of all nature. In the training ofTaekwondo, as in life, we hope to find this balance. The poomsae carry with them not only the physicalmovements but also the meaning of Taekwondo.ϲ

Kim & Cam’sTaekwondo AcademyStripe Test RequirementsStudents in the TKD Tigers’ and KC Kids’programs will earn stripes towards their nextbelt. Stripes prove to be a good way to help ouryounger students set intermediate goals andunderstand that one cannot always jumpimmediately to “the big prize.” Many times it isimportant to set smaller goals along the way toachieving a larger goal. The stripe system alsohelps students understand what they need toknow and what a reasonable amount of time isto learn and develop an intimate understandingof their curriculum. Students of all belt colorsfrom white to brown will need to earn fourstripes of their next color belt in order to test fortheir next rank.In addition to the four colored stripes, studentswill need to earn white stripes. White stripes areearned based on merit. Students can earn whitestripes for a variety of behaviors including, butnot limited to, working hard, exceptionaldiscipline and respect, or setting a positiveexample outside of the Dojang. White belts arenot required to earn white stripes. Yellow,orange, green, and purple belts need to earn atleast one white stripe. Students who are blue,red, high red, or brown belts need to earn atleast two white stripes to test.First degree black belts under age 13 (in the KCKids’ program) will also earn stripes. Stripes areawarded for each of the new forms that they arerequired to learn.The tables on the next page show what students(TKD Tigers’ and KC Kids’) need to know andapproximately how many classes they need toattend to earn each stripe.
