Skip directly to: Search Box Section Navigation Content Why losers are the real winners By Caroline Overington September 30, 2000 Page Tools Email to a friend Printer format Olympic fans, ask yourself this: why did you enjoy watching Tatiana Grigorieva vault with the pole? No, besides that. Could it be the same reason you enjoyed watching Jai Taurima in the long jump? Michelle Ferris in the cycling? The little-known Justin Norris in the swimming pool? Perhaps it could. The real reason (okay, the other reason) you loved watching Grigorieva in the pole vault is that she jumped a personal best. Put aside her obvious beauty (and the way she silenced 110,000 sports fans by placing a manicured finger to bee-stung lips). Put aside the silver medal (and the email called The Silver Medallist that is doing the rounds). What, really, is the sporting point? It is that Grigorieva did better than she had ever done before. Sure, American Stacy Dragila went higher and broke a world record. Bully for her. Grigorieva was also making history. Her own history. She jumped 4.55 metres and stunned herself.

92. History Of Taekwondo - Yong Kim's Tae Kwon Do - Albuquerque New Mexico history of taekwondo, national sport of Korea. You don t have to be an Olympicalthlete to enjoy the many benefits of taekwondo. http://www.weavingwebdesigns.com/taekwondonm/historytkd.htm

TaeKwonDo , an ancient Korean Martial Art, is the fastest growing Martial Art in the world. We know that TaeKwonDo existed as far back as 50 BC, more than 2000 years ago. In these ancient times only warriors were allowed to use it. You may wonder how we know that TaeKwonDo existed so long ago. The reason is because archaeologists found pictures of people practicing TaeKwonDo on the ceiling of an ancient royal tomb in Korea called the Muyong-Chong. Today, TaeKwonDo is the national sport of Korea. As with all martial arts, TaeKwonDo teaches punching, blocking and kicking techniques, but TaeKwonDo is unique in its emphasis on accuracy and power. It was a demonstration sport in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and an official event in the 2000 Olympic Games (Steven Lopez, from Texas, brought home a Gold Medal). You don't have to be an Olympic althlete to enjoy the many benefits of TaeKwonDo. It trains both body and mind. It is a sport for everyone - men, women, and children. It is a wonderful way to gain self-confidence and strength.

93. The History Of Tae Kwon Do THE history OF TAE KWON DO. Tae Kwon Do is practiced in over 140 countries Tae Kwon Do was introduced to the International olympic Committee as a sport, http://www.fortunecity.com/campus/lawns/866/history.html

web hosting domain names photo sharing THE HISTORY OF TAE KWON DO Tae Kwon Do is practiced in over 140 countries world-wide. It's no surprise that it's so popular. But Tae Kwon Do is not very young. In fact, some of the earliest found proof of Tae Kwon Do practice dates back to around 50 B.C., which is almost 2050 years ago. Korea (the founding country) was split into three parts then: Silla, built on the Kyongju plains, Koguryo, built near the Yalu River Valley, and Baekche, built in Southwest Korea. Pictures of the oldest known form of Tae Kwon Do, Taek Kyon, have been found painted on the walls and ceilings of a royal Koguryo tomb, Muyong-chong. These (along with other murals found) have depicted people displaying stances, punches, kicks, and other techniques that are very similar, if not identical, to the ones we now use today. Some of the murals display use of the knife hand, or son-nal chi-gi, and fist, or joomock. Even though Tae Kwon Do was first introduced in the Koguryo Kingdom, Silla's nobility warriors, the Hwarang, are probably most responsible for the spread and growth of Tae Kwon Do in ancient Korea. Of the three kingdoms, the smallest and least civilized, Silla (which was the first to be built and inhabited) was repeatedly under assault by nearby traveling Japanese pirates. After Silla requested assistance from the other kingdoms, King Gwanggateo (who was the 19th monarch in a family line) gathered, organized and sent a large army of 50,000 troops into the neighboring Silla. That's when Taek Kyon comes in and is introduced to the Sillan warriors in strict secrecy.

History of Taekwondo and the United States Taekwondo Won This section provides a brief overview of the art of Taekwondo, a bit of history of how, when, and why Taekwondo was developed, and the goals of the United States Taekwondo Won for the future of Taekwondo. What is Taekwondo? Brief History of Taekwondo History of the USTW What is Taekwondo? Although the name "Taekwondo" is only about 40 years old, the martial art itself traces its origins in Korean history as far back as 57 B.C. "Tae" means to kick, "Kwon" means to strike with the hand, and "Do" means a philosophical way of life. The main feature of Taekwondo is that it is a free-fighting combat sport using bare hands and feet to repel an opponent. The Taekwondo training regimen affects the individual wholly and involves more than just physical coordination and technique. Physical requirements such as flexibility, strength, stamina, speed, and balance are essential to Taekwondo and can only be gained through diligent practice. The training is composed of Poomse (basic forms), Kyorugi (sparring), and Kyukpa (breaking). Taekwondo requires great mental concentration and produces almost incredible power. Before the advent of protective gear, it was impossible to exercise the developed power against men except at the risk of inflicting serious injury or death. Therefore, a method was sought to test such formidable power against non-living things like wood planks, roof tiles, or bricks. We must realize that anyone can properly develop and control this latent power.

Despite developing weapons to assist in the gathering of food and self-defence, the people of ancient Korea continued to develop their minds and bodies through recreational games and competitions. The earliest known records of Korean life date back to 2333BC and mention music, dance, and games played at tribal festivals. The Korean nation was founded by tribes that migrated southwards from Mongolia into the peninsula known today as Korea. The development of the Korean nation progressed through distinct dynasties: Koguryo, Baekje, Shilla, Koryo, and Yi. Three of these dynasties existed simultaneously in different areas of Korea and this is known as the 'Period of Three Kingdoms'. The dynasties were: Koguryo (37BC ~ 668AD) existed in the northern part of the peninsula and stretched into the southern and western parts of Manchuria;

History ...of taekwondo ...of the club Taekwondo as a Martial Art Taekwondo is a "hard style" of martial arts, meaning it focuses on punches, kicks, and blocks instead of joint locks, grabs, and throws. It is distinctive among hard styles because of its high, powerful, elegant kicks. Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and has a long and intricate history. The first evidence of regularly practiced martial arts in Korea date back to 3 BC. Mural paintings from the Koguryo dynasty show people sparring. In the Silla kingdom during roughly the same time period, Taekkyon (an ancestor of Taekwondo) was a part of Hwarangdo, the education of the male youth of the nobility. During the Koryo period (starting in 918 AD), Subak (another ancestor of Taekwondo) was very popular and was a spectator sport in addition to being a martial art. Subak reached the zenith of its popularity during the reign of King Uijong (1147-1170 AD). During the Japanese occupation in the first half of the 20th century, martial arts training was forbidden in Korea. Practitioners still continued training in secret, though, preserving the distinctive style of Korean martial arts. In the years following the liberation of Korea at the end of WWII, a schism developed that would eventually lead to the two major Taekwondo organizations we now see in the world: the International Taekwondo Federation and the World Taekwondo Federation.

PART 2 Koryo Dynasty (918AD ~ 1392AD) It was the Koryo dynasty that ascended after Shilla and again brought unity to the Korean nation. It is after this dynasty that the Black Belt Poomsae "Koryo" is named. During this period the development of the martial art known today as Taekwondo became more systematised and was made a compulsory requirement for selection and training in the military. In fact good skill in the martial arts and success during competitions enabled soldiers to advance their rank. Historical records indicate that the format and judgement of such contests became fairly standardised with elements of sparring (kyorugi) and breaking (kyokpa) competition. Many examples exist in historical documents that tell of impressive feats of skill and strength during such competitions. The kings of Koryo dynasty showed great interest in Taekwondo, encouraging its' development and supporting the contests. Consequently Taekwondo became popular among the general population also. However, as the military became more reliant on gunpowder and new weapons, the support for this early form of Taekwondo subsided and the martial art maintained its' existence through the contests and games held by the general populace between villages and provinces. Chosun (or Yi) Dynasty (1392AD ~ 1910AD) In addition to the lessening by the military in Taekwondo, or Subak as it was known then, the martial art suffered further loss of support as a result of a change in ideology throughout Korea. Earlier dynasties, particularly Shilla and Koryo, had been heavily influenced with Buddhist philosophies, however the Chosun dynasty was founded on the ideologies of Confucianism. As a result more importance was placed on the literary arts and Taekwondo (Subak) contests at public festivals reduced in number.
