2 The Taekwondo Oath I shall observe the tenets of Taekwondo I shall respect my instructors and seniors I will never misuse Taekwondo I will be a champion of justice and freedom I shall build a more peaceful world The Tenets of Taekwondo Courtesy Integrity Perseverance Self-control Indomitable Spirit Introduction What is Taekwondo? Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that was developed during the 1950s. Taekwondo is a blend of several native Korean martial arts, including Sul-bak and Tae-kyon, developed into a distinctively modern style. Taekwondo is an expression of Korean cultural heritage, resurging after harsh repression by Japanese forces during World War II. Taekwondo is famous for its dynamic kicking style and has now developed into a major Olympic sport alongside its martial development. Why do Taekwondo? Self-Defence Confidence Discipline Competition Fitness Fun About UTA Taekwondo World Taekwondo (WT) (formerly World Taekwondo Federation) is the governing body for Taekwondo, with over 175 member nations. The Kukkiwon is The World Taekwondo Headquarters and the only official organisation authorised to issue Dan (Black Belt) certification. The British Taekwondo Control Board (BTCB) is the national governing body for WT Taekwondo in UK. All recognised WT Taekwondo groups in the UK must be registered with the BTCB. The United Taekwondo Association (UTA) is a group member of the BTCB. Chairman and Chief Instructor of the UTA in the UK is 9 th Dan Grand Master T W Shin, who trained under 9 th Dan Grand Master Kim Soon Bae. Grand Master Shin has established UTA status through maintaining a high standard of Taekwondo practice in the UK.

3 The branch of the UTA in Scotland is the Central Taekwondo Academy run by 8 th Dan Grand Master David Bailey. EUTKD is a member club of Central. Conduct in the Dojang No Smoking, eating, or wearing of jewellery in the Dojang. Taekwondo suits must be washed and ironed with only UTA/WT approved badges. Belt must be properly tied. Ensure toe and finger nails are cut to prevent injury. Upon entering and leaving the Dojang bow to the flags. At the Beginning and end of training sessions bow to the instructor and most senior Black belt. If you approach the instructor bow before speaking. Address the instructor by Sir or Miss. When a student arrives late they should wait until recognised by the instructor before joining the class. When a student wishes to leave the hall (except in emergency) it is good manners to gain permission first. If a Master instructor enters the hall, the instructor on the floor or highest ranking student should call the class to attention and bow.

4 Kup We are aware that students come from a variety of backgrounds with different approaches to Taekwondo. In classes we will try to respect these approaches in your training. However, if you wish to grade through EUTKD it is necessary to follow the grading syllabus as laid out by Central Taekwondo Academy and Grand Master Bailey 8 th Dan. Each grading comprises basic hand techniques, basic foot techniques, patterns, sparring, destruction and terminology test. The requirements for each grade are set out in this booklet. GRADING SYSTEM 10 th Kup White Belt Innocence: the beginning student who 9 th Kup Yellow Tags has no previous knowledge of Taekwondo. 8 th Kup Yellow Belt Earth: a plant sprouts and takes root 7 th Kup Green Tags as the foundations of Taekwondo are lain. 6 th Kup Green Belt Wood: growth as the Taekwondo skills 5 th Kup Blue Tags begin to develop 4 th Kup Blue Belt Heaven: towards which the plant 3 rd Kup Red Tags matures as training progresses. 2 nd Kup Red Belt Danger: cautioning the student to 1 st Kup Black Tags exercise control and opponents to be wary Kup gradings are conducted by a senior black belt (4 th Dan and higher) with assistance from junior black belts from the club. As the examiner comes from outside the club it is not always possible to hold gradings on a regular basis. Exams and holidays also place further restrictions on when students can grade. Nevertheless, from the start of the academic year we will aim to have a grading every 8-10 weeks (not including holidays). There will, then, usually be 3 gradings over the course of both semesters. Dan gradings are conducted in accordance with UTA regulations and are held twice per year. The spring grading is usually held in Manchester and the autumn grading is hosted by Central Academy at Carronshore. The UTA Chief Examiner Master Shin conducts the Black Belt gradings. Anyone wishing to take their Dan grading will also be expected to train, when possible, with Master Bailey at Central Academy club in Falkirk (this will not conflict with club training).

5 TRAINING PERIODS There is a minimum training period requirement between gradings. Minimum training is classed as attending training sessions twice per week. Students must check with their Instructor before applying to grade. Between 10 th and 6 th Kup - Two Months Between 6 th and 4 th Kup - Three Months Between 4 th and 2 nd Kup - Four Months Between 2 nd and 1 st Kup - Six months So long as you put in the time and effort you can be in a position to go for your 1 st Dan black belt grading by the time you finish your degree.

15 Poomsae A Poomsae is a defined pattern of defence and attack techniques against several opponents. The Taegeuk series of Poomsae was introduced in The word taegeuk refers to the Daoist principle of the unity opposites (eum and yang). Taegeuk is also the name of the symbol found on the flag of South Korea. Each Taegeuk Poomsae symbolises a specific state indicative to the belt the study currently holds.

20 Other Things You Should Know... Your opponent is just as scared of you as you are of your opponent. A black belt is confused: they are not allowed to beat you up, but they are not allowed to let you beat them up. You will get blisters. This is meant to happen, so don t complain about it it is a rite of passage for the club. If you miss your target board while breaking, it DOES hurt the board-holder's hands or fingers, no matter how he or she may react. Being a black belt does not mean you can perform miracles. Winning all the time simply makes you feel pressured to win all the time. The horseback-riding stance looks really goofy in pictures without your uniform on... or even with your uniform on. If you want to be great at sparring, you must learn how to relax. Accidently hitting someone really does feel worse for the person who does the kicking if the kicker has a conscience. Rule 3: You are here to hit people, so don t apologise for doing so. (Just make sure they re alright). An instructor who is looking at the floor during class is probably trying to suppress their laughter. There is always someone better, higher ranked, more flexible, better at kicks, and better at poomsae than you even at the black belt level. Your instructor does have friends outside the club. If a sparring partner or competitor says, Take it easy on me, that person usually doesn t want to take it easy on you. From an instructor, "Does anyone need a break?" and "Do you need water?" are usually trick questions. Rule 4: You are going to get hurt, you need to embrace that. Every martial artist has bad days. Just try not to have them at competitions or at gradings. You may not call your instructor "Honey/Sweetie", "Dude/Dudette" or Dawg. When in doubt, bow. Drawing blood from your own knuckles is not a good thing. Drawing blood from an opponent is not a good thing. The instructor is always right. Trimming your toenails and fingernails is a MUST. Knowing the terminology is good, but executing the technique properly is better. White uniforms and Edinburgh streets do not mix. When piled up on the floor after practice, everyone s sparring gear looks very much alike. Sparring gear does not protect you nearly as well against baseball bats, golf clubs, or other improvised weapons when you re messing around with your friends at home. Rule 5: If you aren t sweating by the time you finish your poomsae, you haven t done it properly. Washing your uniform is a requirement! Please...
