FOUNDATION OF TAE KWON-DO
Tae Kwon-do is a Korean martial art, which although having roots in the ancient orient, was
developed as a modern art from the eight Kwans of Korea. Tae Kwon-Do was inaugurated
on April 11th 1955 following extensive research and development by the founder. It was
introduced into the United Kingdom by Master Rhee Ki Ha in 1967. The TAGB (Tae KwonDo Association Of Great Britain) was formed in 1983 and was the founder member of the
British Tae Kwon-Do Council (BTC) on April 21st 1988. The BTC is recognised by the
Sports Council. The TAGB is a member of Tae Kwon-do international, a world wide body
with representation in every continent of the globe. TKD International was inaugurated on
November 13th 1993.
WHAT IS TAE KWON-DO
It is a version of an ancient form of unarmed combat practised for many centuries in the
Orient. Tae Kwon-Do became perfected in it's present form in Korea. Translated from
Korean, 'Tae' literally means to jump, kick or smash with the foot. 'Kwon' means a fistchiefly to punch or destroy with the hand or fist. 'Do' means art, way or method. Tae KwonDo indicates the techniques of unarmed combat for self-defence, involving the skilled
application of punches, kicks, blocks, dodges and interception with the hand, arms and feet
to the rapid destruction of the opponent.
To the Korean people Tae Kwon-Do is more than a mere use of skilled movements. It also
implies a way of thinking and life, particularly in instilling a concept and spirit of strict selfimposed discipline and an ideal of noble moral re-armament. In these days of violence and
intimidation, which seems to plague our modern societies, Tae Kwon-Do enables the weak
to possess a fine weapon to defend himself or herself and defeat the opponent as well. When
wrongly applied it can be a lethal weapon.
THE TENETS OF TAE KWON-DO
COURTESY (Ye ui) - To be polite to ones' instructors, seniors and fellow students.
Tae Kwon-Do students should attempt to practice the following elements of etiquette:
To promote the spirit of mutual concessions.
To be ashamed of one's vice contempting that of other's.
To be polite to one another.
To encourage the sense of justice.
To distinguish the instructor from student and senior from junior.
INTEGRITY (Yom chi) - To be honest with oneself.
To be able to define right and wrong.
In Tae Kwon-Do, the word integrity assumes a looser definition than the one usually
presented in Weber's dictionary. One must be able to define right from wrong, and have the
conscience, if wrong, to feel guilt. Listed are some examples where integrity is lacking:
The instructor who misrepresents himself and his art by presenting improper techniques to
his students because of lack of knowledge or apathy.
www.newporttkd.co.uk
Page 3
The student who misrepresents himself by 'fixing' breaking materials before demonstrations.
The instructor who camouflages bad techniques with luxurious training halls and false
flattery to his students.
The student who requests rank from an instructor, or attempts to purchase it.
The student who gains rank for ego purposes or the feeling of power.
The instructor that teaches and promotes his art for materialistic gains.
PERSEVERANCE (In nae) - To achieve a goal, whether it is a higher grade or any
technique, one must not stop trying; one must persevere.
There is an old Oriental saying "Patience leads to virtue or merit. One can make a peaceful
home by being patient for 100 times." Certainly, happiness and prosperity are most likely
brought to the patient person. To achieve something, whether it is a higher degree or the
perfection of a technique, one must set his goal then constantly persevere. Robert Bruce
learned his lesson of perseverance and tenacity that finally enabled him to free Scotland in
the fourteenth century. One of the most important secrets in becoming a leader of Tae KwonDo is to overcome every difficulty by perseverance.
SELF CONTROL (Kuk gi) - To lose ones' temper when performing techniques against an
opponent can be very dangerous and shows lack of self control. To be able to live, work and
train within ones' capability shows good self control.
This tenet is extremely important inside the Dojang, whether conducting oneself in free
sparring or in one's personal affairs. A loss of self control in free sparring can prove
disastrous to both student and opponent. An inability to live and work within one's capability
or sphere is also a lack of self control.
INDOMITABLE SPIRIT (Baekjul boolgool) - To show courage; when you and your
principles are pitted against overwhelming odds.
"Here lie 300 who did their duty." A simple epitaph for one of the greatest acts of courage
known to mankind. Although facing the superior forces of Xerxes, Leonidas and his 300
Spartans at Thermopla showed the World the meaning of indomitable spirit. It is shown
when a courageous person and his principles are pitted against overwhelming odds. A
serious student of Tae Kwon-Do will at all times deal with the belligerent without any fear of
hesitation at all with indomitable spirit, regardless of whosoever and however many the
number be.

TEN POINTS TO BECOMING A GOOD STUDENT
1. Never tire of learning; a student must always be eager to learn and ask questions. A
good student can learn anywhere, anytime. This is the secret of knowledge.
2. A good student must be willing to sacrifice for his art and his instructor. Many
students feel that their training is a commodity bought with monthly fees, and are
unwilling to take part in any demonstrations, teaching or work around the Dojang. An
instructor can afford to lose this type of student.
3. Always set a good example to lower ranking students. It is only natural that they
attempt to emulate their seniors.
4. Always be loyal and never criticise the instructor, Tae Kwon-Do or the teaching
methods.
5. If an instructor teaches a technique, practise it and attempt to utilize it.
6. Remember that a students conduct outside the Dojang reflects on the art and the
instructor.
7. If a student adopts a technique from another Dojang and the instructor disapproves of
it, the student must discard it immediately, or train in the Dojang where it was learnt.
8. Never be disrespectful to the instructor. Although a student is allowed to disagree with
the instructor, he must first follow the instruction, then discuss the matter later.
9. Always arrive before training is due to start, and ensure that you have a good
attendance record.
10.Never break a trust.

The Reason for 24 Patterns
THE FOUNDER OF TAE KWON-DO IS
MAJOR GENERAL CHOI HONG HI 9th DAN
The life of a human being, perhaps 100 years, can be considered as a day when compared
with eternity. Therefore, we mortals are no more than simple
travellers who pass by the eternal years of an eon in a day.
It is evident that no one can live more than a limited amount of time.
Nevertheless, most people foolishly enslave themselves to
materialism as if they could live for thousands of years. And some
people strive to bequeath a good spiritual legacy for coming
generations, in this way, gaining immortality. Obviously, the spirit is
perpetual while material is not; therefore, what we can do to leave
behind something for the welfare of mankind is, perhaps, the most
important thing in our lives.
Here I leave Tae Kwon-Do for mankind as a trace of man of the late
20th century. The 24 patterns represent 24 hours, one day, or all my
life. The name of the pattern, the number of movements, and the
diagrammatic symbol of each pattern symbolizes either heroic
figures in Korean history or instances relating to historical events.
General Choi, Hong Hi
November 09, 1918 to June 15, 2002
www.newporttkd.co.uk
Page 8
NOTE: Sajo Jirugi is the first exercise given to all Tae Kwon-Do students to help develop
coordination, direction changing, and breathing control. IT IS NOT A PATTERN, the main
reason behind this is that it has no historical meaning.
WHAT IS A PATTERN (TUL)?
A pattern is a set of fundamental movements, mainly defence and attack, set in a logical
sequence to deal with one or more imaginary opponents. Patterns are an indication of a
student's progress – a barometer in evaluating an individual's technique.
WHY DO WE PERFORM PATTERNS?
We practise patterns to improve our Tae Kwon-Do techniques, to develop sparring
techniques, to improve flexibility of movement, master body-shifting, develop muscles,
balance and breath control. They also enable us to acquire techniques which cannot be
obtained from other forms of training. Tae Kwon-Do is an art. When first developed the only
way to train was by performing patterns.
POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN PERFORMING PATTERNS
1. Patterns should begin and end on the same spot. This will indicate the performers
accuracy.
2. Correct posture and facing must be maintained at all times.
3. Muscles of the body should be tensed or relaxed at the proper critical moments in the
exercise.
4. The exercise should be performed in a rhythmic movement with the absence of
stiffness.
5. Each pattern should be accelerated or decelerated according to instructions.
6. Each pattern should be perfected before moving to the next.
7. Students should know the purpose of each movement.
8. Students should perform each movement with realism.

THE PHYSICS OF STRIKING
When you strike an object or person (either by punching or kicking) what exactly are the
factors controlling how much force that strike will have? The physics of this process are well
understood and agree perfectly with the techniques used and recommended by martial art
instructors in Tae-Kwon-Do and Karate. The basic technique is:
1. With the least possible muscle tension, accelerate the striking surface towards the
target as quickly as possible.
2. Just before impact, tense all the muscles concerned with the body framework so that as
the impact happens the body is as rigid as possible. How does this technique result in
enough destructive force for a trained person to break pieces of ice the size of breeze
blocks? What is the difficult part of this technique that prevents even the strongest
novice from performing the same feats? Part of the answer to these questions lie in
areas such as physical strength in the right muscles, confidence and the ability to use
these attributes efficiently due to superior concentration and will.
Questions on these aspects can only really be answered by an experienced martial artist and
those answers will probably involve at least four years of hard training! The rest of the
technique is down to physics and muscle control.
Newton's Second Law: The rate of change of a body's velocity is proportional to the net
force acting on it and takes place in the direction of that force.
Force = Mass x Acceleration (Mass is the constant of proportionality)
Newton's Third Law: Forces acting between bodies in contact are equal and opposite.
(Newton's first law is really only a special case of his second law)
With integration we can rewrite Newton 1 as:- F x dt = M x dv where :
F is the average force applied during the time interval dt is the time interval
M is the mass dv is the difference in velocity before and after the time interval
When the fist (of mass M) collides with a target that cannot move away quickly (either
because it is very heavy like a person or because people are supporting it with their bodies),
that object must decelerate the fist from whatever velocity it had before it came into contact
with the target (say V) to rest in a very short time (dt). To do this it must provide a force (F)
which is equal to (M x V) / dt . If the target cannot provide this force, the fist will continue
on until F x dt finally adds up to M x V sometime later.
In the case of wooden boards this 'continuing on' simply bends them. If they have to bend too
far however, the back surface (which is then under tension) will split and the board will
break. In the case of person's body, this 'continuing on' will probably cause internal damage
as organs are forced to move out of the path of the fist. If the target was a 40 ton block of
steel however, it would have no problem providing the necessary stopping force instantly
and by Newton 3 that force would have only the contact points on the fist to act on. This
would probably result in damage to the fist.
www.newporttkd.co.uk
Page 12
The three factors resulting in possibly damaging force being demanded from the target are
therefore:
1. Mass of the attacking object.
2. Velocity (speed) of the attacking object on impact.
3. The amount of time the object takes to stop the attacking object from continuing. In
most cases this can be measured as a distance before damage occurs.
The basic technique of striking in terms of these factors will be explained using the example
of a forward punch. At the moment of impact we want maximum mass and speed. To
achieve the speed, we accelerate the fist from rest towards the target by applying a force F
with the muscles. Newton 2 tells us that F = M x A so A = F / M. In other words, for a set
force F (which we can only improve by getting stronger) we will get a larger acceleration
(and thus impact speed) if the mass M is low. On impact though, as we have stated, we want
the maximum possible mass for the target to have to decelerate. How can the mass of the
striking object be changed from small (while the body accelerates it) to large (while the
target decelerates it)?
If the fist, forearm, shoulder etc. were made from a solid material such as metal and welded
together, the mass of the striking object would simply be the masses of each of these parts
added together. If however, these parts of the body were only connected by string or wires,
the mass of the striking object would be that of the fist alone. In reality, the body is
connected by bones, joints and muscles which is a situation between the two extremes. When
the muscles are tensed, the body acts more like one solid object. When the muscles are
relaxed, the body acts more like separate parts. What happens in a correct punch is this :
1. The body is kept as relaxed and 'disconnected' as possible to keep the effective mass
of the fist down while it is accelerated towards the target.
2. 'Just before impact' the whole frame is tensed to get as close as possible to the 'one
solid unit' state with maximum effective mass and hopefully the same velocity of the
striking surface.
If the tension is applied to early, the effective mass of the fist rises early which reduces the
acceleration and, thus, final speed on impact. If the tension arrives too late, the effective
mass of the fist is low and it will have less effect. To achieve the most efficient timing,
strength, tension and posture to exploit this technique (which only lasts a fraction of a
second) is not something that is learnt easily. Without the evidence of destruction
demonstrations, the fact that it could be learnt at all would, I think, be in doubt.
Some other strikes used in martial arts exploit the two other factors - speed and impact time more than the 'strongest' attacks such as the side kick and forward punch which rely on the
above technique very strongly. Extra speed on impact can be achieved in some cases by
extending the limbs in rotation much like a sling-shot or golf swing. Other strikes exploit the
very short time of impact caused by hitting with a part of the body which is very rigid such
as the elbow or head.

70.A pattern is a set of fundamental movements, mainly attack and defence, set in a logical
sequence to deal with one or more imaginary opponents. Patterns are an indication of a
student's progress - a barometer in evaluating an individual's progress.
71.We practise patterns to improve our Tae Kwon-Do techniques, to develop sparring
techniques, to improve flexibility of movement, master body shifting, develop muscles,
balance and breath control. Patterns also enable us to acquire techniques which cannot be
obtained from other forms of training.
72.The interpretation gives a pattern a meaning, each pattern is based on a historic moment
in Korean history, where legendary figures showed loyalty, dedication and even gave
their lives to make significant changes to their country. We learn interpretations of
patterns to gain inspiration from the events and people portrayed in the meanings.
73.Master Don Atkins, 7th Dan.
74.15 June 2002. He was laid to rest on 17 June at Pyongyang.
75.Loyalty and Humility, because loyalty to their cause has been demonstrated by the
patriots, scholars and philosophers in the meaning of the patterns. Humility is necessary
to avoid aggression and shows respect for others.
76.Force = mass x acceleration (F = MA)
Kinetic Energy = _ x mass x velocity x velocity (KE = _ MV2)
The energy available in a technique depends on the mass and the square of the velocity.
Speed (velocity) is therefore more important than mass in promoting power. We cannot
change our mass, but we can increase our speed through training.
77.Energy from motion
