Taekwondo

Tae Kwon Do is the art of hand and foot fighting. The original empty hand pattens created by gen. Choi were templated from Shotokan Karate. The Gen was a 2nd Dan in Shotokan

upon his return to Korea. So the term Hyung is the appropriate reference for the original patterns. The Shotokan Kata,s were also included as part of the original 2nd to 4th Dan requirements for Tae Kwon Do in its infancy.

This information can be found in the first publication by Gen. Choi.

Taekwondo start with (see-jak) & ends (ko-mahn) over with display of courtesy confirmed by bowing (kyung nae) in submission of the senior by the junior at first sight. It's an unavoidable obligation on the training ground or Taekwondo Gym. One should obey commands of their seniors as concerned with their lessons & practice only. This is a Taekwondo tradition which transforms a commoner into a decent person and responsible citizen in due course.

Many athletes and fans become so dedicated to their sport that they refer to it as a way of life or a religion. Their critics might refer to it only as an obsession. This is true of both western sports and eastern sports; however, many Asian martial arts have the added element of Buddhist meditation as an element of training. Through medication, martial artists can learn to control their ki or life force. This type of control can make it possible for them to exceed the abilities of athletes who do not train in this way.

Taekwondo (태권도) is the modern name of the Korean national martial art which was chosen as an umbrella title on April 11, 1955. There is no other name for Taekwondo, however it is often translated from Korean Hangeul with several different variations such as: Taekwondo, Tae Kwon Do, Taekwon-Do, Taegwondo.

Earlier terms that were used during the post WWII era to describe Korean self defense included Tangsudo (aka: Tang Soo Do - variation of Chinese hand), Taesudo, Kongsudo.

Modern Taekwondo was influenced by several Chinese and Japanese systems, but is primarily formed around its ancient native Korean roots in what was known as Subak, Tae Kkyeon, and the philosophy of leadership/warrior training of Korea's Hwarang Knights.

In the ATA you can ask your instructor if you could buy your rank appropriate video.

Taekwondo is an education about life, philosophy, character building, health & fitness, and self defense. Taekwondo itself does not have responsibilities, but each individual student, teacher, Master, and organization should have responsibilities and pass them on to subsequent generations.

Responsibilities of the Taekwondoin as a Martial Artist include properly learning the art thoroughly; training with diligence and dedication; instilling in one's self a sense of respect (an appreciation for the value of someone) toward seniors, instructors, parents, and others in positions of authority; following rules and laws where appropriately enforced; helping others by guiding or teaching the art correctly and completely; living peacefully in society and treating others with courtesy; and ultimately applying the skills only for just, moral and ethical purpose.

This question pertains to seeking legal advice, which is usually not a good idea to obtain via the internet. For the best answer to this question, you should seek qualified legal advice from a lawyer who is familiar with contract law in your area. The following answer should not be construed as legal advice, but just some things to consider.

Many jurisdictions in the United States, for example, require that membership contracts include several different clauses to protect the consumer. One of which includes the right of the consumer to cancel the contract by written notice within a specific time frame (often 5 - 10 business days) from the signing of the contract with no reason needed. If that time has elapsed, then you might be required to honor the contract, unless another clause allows cancellation.

One such clause might pertain to the health of the student, or injury preventing participation in physical activity. This usually requires a doctor's written statement.

Another clause might be a transfer clause which would pertain to the customer moving beyond a reasonable distance from the place of business where the contract is held. Also, if the business moves to a location that makes travel an unreasonable burden

Of course, if there is any way that the contract holder has violated the contract, and failed to provide services in a manner consistent with the agreement, then the contract might be determined as void in a court of law.

Although this should not be interpreted as legal advice, as an experienced Martial Art instructor, I would say that the best thing to do, if no other options are available, is to talk to the school owner. Explain why you want to be released from the contract, and see if they are willing to do so out of courtesy. Many school owners rely on the commitment of regular payments from their customers so that they can keep their business operating, and cover their expenses and financial obligations (not to mention make a decent living off a reasonable profit).

If there is a legitimate problem, and reason why you want to cancel, most fair-minded Instructors will find a way to compromise, or work something out to resolve the issue. If the school owner is too greedy and profit driven, you might have no other choice but to pay for the entire contract, and then choose to either avail yourself of the services, or write it off as a loss, and don't attend classes any more.

I think he is a third degreee Black belt

There are several different sets of forms (teul, hyeong, or Poomsae) that are used throughout Taekwondo, and each school, or organization might differ. Therefore, it depends on the name of your form, and which set your association is teaching. This is best answered by attending class, and asking your instructor.

The only answer is training. You should practice leg exersizes that specificaly target the ones needed for kicking, spar, build reflexes, practice kicking, anything that improves you for sparing. If its memorization, you should practice memorizing the techniques and hour a day. There are plenty of TKD vids on youtube if you need a reference. The faster you need to get better, the more you should practice. But to much is not good.

Yes, you can. But the rules are such that you get many more points for a kick then you do for a punch. So competitors often ignore their hands and keep them down low to block kicks rather than attempt to hit their opponent.

respect, honesty, loyalty, kicking and sparring. Generally begin with a warm up, some stretching and a cardiovascular workout followed by technical drills: blocking, punching, kicking, forms, one-step sparring and self defense.
