My 100th Post! "Taekwondo v Aikido"
2008-04-04 03:08:00 Many styles (as well as Taekwondo) include some basic handlocks, throws, and breakfalls. The initial style in which I started training (it wasn't in Taekwondo) included two handlocks (Kotegaeshi and nikyo), 4 throws (shoulder throws, a hip throw, and a fireman's lift throw), and some crazy breakfalls.My time with the American Karate and Taekwondo Organisation saw me cross train in Aiki (mainly without being graded) for about 3-4 years. In that time I did take the 9th kyu grading and of course participated in many mixed sessions. Having that 9th kyu list, a fertile mind, and the chance to expand my Taekwondo syllabus, I initially thought some 10+ years ago to add the requirements within the TKD 5th and 4th kyu syllabus. Breakfalls were included from white belt but the major Aiki techniques were arbitrarily thrown to the green and blue belts.I hated that arrangement. It was non-harmonious with the way students learn -- it was Taekwondo until here and then these cool but bizarre tech...
Taekwondo Syllabus
2008-04-01 05:09:00 Pat asked me to talk a little about Aikido influencing my practice and transmission of 'Traditional' Taekwondo. I thought this was a fantastic question which touches on many issues that a martial arts instructor faces; but I had to establish the following background for that post. On one hand, and I've used this analogy before, the martial arts instructor is a curator tasked to deliver a very standard 'official' transcript of traditional techniques and applications. Newer styles and more pragmatic instructors break from this to include innovation that brings quality to the syllabus they operate with. In this light I have seen many instructors frustrated with their syllabus and constantly try to deconstruct, modify, and fine-tune what they have. In 2003, this was the major impetus for me to re-evaluate all of the things that I have been taught and that I have inherited as a martial artist. The lead up to this recognition that something was not quite correct was me trying to make...
100 Posts on Traditional Taekwondo in Perth Western Australia
2008-03-26 11:22:00 I started this blog last April 2007 with a simple aim - to talk about taekwondo techniques from our training perspective. I wanted to literally share HRGB's weekly experiences with readers - basically one post after each of the two training sessions we had per week. Just in 4-5 months, this blog started ranking on the first page of Google for basic key martial arts terms, and I started reaching out to a small network of like-minded martial arts bloggers. Through the posts, I have opened up my practice and my thoughts to all. It still requires some nerve to be so transparent, but I believe this helps improve the quality of training in my taekwondo class. This is my 98th post, and I invite readers and friends to share any thoughts of what you'd like for a 100th post on this blog. So, any thoughts? What techniques are you all working on now? Sparring strategies? What information would you like highlighted in your own school? Let me know.
K.O. Taekwondo Best Knockouts
2008-03-19 05:22:00 Sempre gostei muito de artes marciais, porém o mais próximo que estive foi fazendo Judô, que sinceramente não me sentia nem um pouco empolgado apesar de gostar de praticar. Já o Taekwondo é algo que sempre gostei de assistir e vontade de praticar, porém não tive a oportunidade (ainda). Quem gosta de artes marciais, e em especial o Taekwondo precisa ver esse vídeo. Nota 10.Taekwondo, Tae Kwon Do ou Taekwon-Do é uma arte marcial coreana que surgiu há cerca de dois mil anos. Hoje em dia, é também um esporte difundido em todos os continentes. Nos Jogos Olímpicos de Seul, em 1988, teve seu "batismo de fogo", quando se converteu num esporte olímpico de exibição. Em Atlanta, 1996, já constava para a disputa de medalhas, consagrando-se como esporte olímpico oficial nas Olimpíadas de Sydney, em 2000.Via Fun Ever e Wikipédia.Obrigado por assinar o RSS do Blog aHomba.com, Visite-nos e deixe seu comentário.

My Traditional Taekwondo
2008-03-08 01:54:00 I have trained in various martial arts, but I draw primary inspiration from my training with American Karate and Taekwondo Organization, then known as Southwestern Taekwondo Organization. The syllabus A-KaTo uses was brought over from Korea by GM Jhoon Rhee in the mid 1950s. I have learned in recent years through discussions with A-KaTo director GM Keith Yates that GM Jhoon Rhee came from a Chung Do Kwan Tang Soo Do lineage. This is an interesting point in that the Taekwondo Chang Hon syllabus we inherited was transmitted through a Tang Soo Do perspective. A further point of interest is that it was brought over to the states during Taekwondo's formative years, and had not undergone a lot of the evolution that would start a couple of years later as it sought to create an identity separate from Karate. Unlike other Taekwondo schools which have embraced such a natural evolution, our school was happy doing things as you'd probably see them in a Tang Soo Do school - which really looked...
Taekwondo VS Kickboxing
2008-02-27 15:55:00 I love watching two different martial arts styles going up against each other. It used to be the best thing about watching mixed martial art fights in the early days, comparing styles and how they fared against each other. These days most fighters in these competitions train in specifically mixed martial arts gyms, and its not really a mixed martial arts fight at all because 'mma' has sort of become a martial art in itself. That's why I always like to keep an eye out for videos like this where fighters from two distinct martial arts go up against each other. There' s some pretty good action in these fights too.... and...

Taekwondo Starting 2008
2008-01-29 01:59:00 It's been a long break. Tomorrow marks the first martial arts class we're having in 2008. As before, we will have regular martial arts training for students 'on the path' based off our Traditional Taekwondo syllabus. We will also have our veterans program for those who are not 'on the path' but have different needs. This will be based off a motley of combative and self defense skills I've put together. There will be some integration of course, but by and large the two groups travel at different speeds.Secondly, I like to offer an apology to Black Belt Mamma for ripping a photo off her site and featuring it in one of my posts. What I regularly do is to search for appropriate photos in Google Images and happily HTML reference it within posts without knowing or paying attention to where it comes from. I don't see this blog as being important enough to draw interest from the public at large and also I am happy to pull images off as soon as I figure out that someone is unhappy wi...

Taekwondo; the martial art that emphasizes on unity
2008-01-07 05:13:00 One of the most systematic forms of Korean traditional martial arts is Taekwondo. This is an art that teaches not only physical fighting skills but also a means of enhancing your spirit and mind through training of the mind and body.  Taekwondo is today a global sport with international reputation, and is one of the official games in the Olympics. The word Taekwondo consists of three parts; ‘tae’ meaning foot, leg or step on, ‘kwon’ meaning fist or fight and ‘do’ meaning way or discipline. Collectively, you get an idea of the important concepts of ‘Taekwondo’.  Collectively, Taekwondo means the right way of using all the parts of the body to stop fights, and hence build a better and more peaceful world. Taekwondo has been around for 5,000 years, and has been named different names within this time period.  Taekwondo started as a defense martial art ‘Subak’ or ‘Taekkyon’ to develop into a way of training body and mind in the kingdom of Koguryo under the ...

How long does it take to achieve a black belt in Taekwondo?
2007-09-08 23:58:00 The length of time required to acheive the coveted 1st Dan Grade (Black Belt) is an oft talked about topic. Should it take a year, 5 years or 10 years. I really got thinking about this after reading and commenting on a post here and after talking to a couple of girls on holiday this year who'd achieved their first Dan grades within 3 years.I've been training a long time, although I will be the first to admit my attendance is by no means the greatest. I always make at least one training session per week, try to get to two and on the odd week I make it to three. Realistically, a first Dan is AT LEAST another three years away from my grasp (and I am aware that I may not get it if I train for another 100 years!).How long it should take should be irrelevant. It's a question of a number of factors which will be different for every student including fitness, talent, number of hours trained each week, commitment and probably many more aspects.If a club tells you you WILL get a black belt...
How much do you pay to take a Taekwondo grading?
2007-09-05 19:09:00 I recently met two Taekwondo students from the north of England. The subject of the cost of taking gradings in TKD cropped up and they told me at their club a KUP grade cost £45. On top of that, failing to pass the grading would result in having to pay the grading fee again.By comparison, at my club a KUP grade test is £15. If you fail it, you can re-take it at no further cost. I don't know what our instructor charges for Hapkido gradings (another Korean Martial Art he teaches) but would be surprised if there was any difference.The two Northerners told me they had achieved First KUP grade (red belt/black tag) in three years with their club - that'll be a topic for another post later...So how much is the "right" amount to pay for a martial arts grading? Should it be dependant on what the club needs to charge in order to stay operational? A quick glance at the BTCB website didn't offer any kind of guide, but I'd say £45 sounds expensive.
Finding a good Taekwondo (or other Martial Arts) club
2007-08-27 23:49:00 First up, this isn't purely relevant to Taekwondo - feel free to apply this to ANY martial arts club you are either already at, or considering attending.We met a great family on our holiday this year - the two younger girls in the family were twins, and when the subject of Taekwondo came up they told me that at their club you achieved black belt in three years ie it was not a question of anything other than time (and paying for the gradings of course!).I would suggest this is a great way to find out whether the club you are enquiring about is run purely to make money, or has instructors who are genuinely keen on passing on teachings and developing their students. If the answer is "you'll get a black belt in X number of years" you need to ask more questions. If the answer is "not everyone achieves a black belt and there is no specific time frame" you are probably in the right place to learn.

Effectiveness of Taekwondo
2007-07-23 00:03:00 Quite a lot of people I speak to that train in different arts seem keen to question the effectiveness of Taekwondo as a self defense system. Now, Taekwondo is an "offensive" martial art, as opposed to Jujutsu which would be classed as "defensive". The basic premise being that the Taekwondo practitioner blocks and then counter attacks with a strike capable of incapacitating the aggressor, whereas in a defensive system, the attack is worked against the aggressor typically using using twisting, painful grab techniques. Some Taekwondo schools perhaps leave it out, but at my club Ho Sin Sul (self defense) is an active part of the curriculum. Ho Sin Sul is in many respects very similar to Hapkido, the most well known Korean self defense system and really the Korean equivalent to Japanese Jujitsu.Taekwondo itself is, by it's nature, geared towards fancy high spinning kicks. These are perhaps not the best techniques to use on the street as a foot at head height, if grabbed, puts you in a ...
