The 2012 Meijer State Games of Michigan, which took place on June 22nd and 23rd, was a grand success! This year was the third year for the Taekwondo tournament and the biggest thus far. With a whopping number of 256 participants, the Taekwondo tournament was the second largest out of all the sports next to track and field. Friday night, the Opening Ceremonies took place at East Kentwood High School. There, all of the athletes from each sport marched in together in the Parade of Athletes. After that, a team of extreme bikers and skydivers put on a performance of tricks as entertainment for the spectators. The Taekwondo tournament began on Saturday morning June 23 rd at 8 a.m. at Cornerstone College. The Color Guard kicked off the opening ceremony with a patriotic twist as they marched in to the song To the Colors. Special guests included Representative Dave Agema of the 74 th district and Mike Gusweiler, Executive Director of the West Michigan Sports Commission. Nine-year-old Andrew Van Baal sang the National Anthem, which was sponsored by Jack and Cindy Hendon from Fremont, Michigan. After a few speeches and recognitions, the tournament officially began. The three categories were forms, sparring and board breaking. The results can be seen on our Facebook page World Class Tae Kwon Do. If you haven t already joined, do so! You can find the results under Docs. Thank you to all who came out to compete and support! We greatly appreciate everyone s participation. This tournament would not have been such a great success without the help from all of you. State Games Footage 3 Thank You Sponsors 4 State Games Pictures State Games of Michigan 6 Get Online 6

2 Page 2 World Class Tae Kwon Do What Defines Traditional Tae Kwon Do? By Master Scott Oring One of the most common questions asked within Tae Kwon Do circles by leaders and Instructors is What is Tae Kwon Do? What defines traditional Tae Kwon Do as a martial art versus the western notion of sport or recreational activity? For that matter, what defines traditional versus modern? What I d like to do is offer my perspective which, although by no means comprehensive, attempts to shine some light on this matter. When the wind of change blows some build walls while others build windmills Chinese Proverb In terms of chronology, Tae Kwon Do is actually very modern, having been officially founded only in However, in terms of its philosophy, outlook, purpose, and relevance to Korean culture, Tae Kwon Do is very traditional. By that I mean Tae Kwon Do incorporates the three main philosophical schools of Korea and China: Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism-schools of thought literally going back thousands of years. These philosophical outlooks have been with Tae Kwon Do since the beginning, not added later as an afterthought. Therefore, it can be said that Tae Kwon Do is the modern traditional martial art of Korea. Modern in that it is current and relevant, but traditional for the reasons listed above. From Buddhism, Tae Kwon Do incorporates the idea of compassion and respect for life. As students, we do not harm others or take life unless absolutely necessary, and then only with great regret. From Confucianism, we incorporate the idea of students, black belts, and Masters having defined, family-like relationships with each other. Respect for seniors, love and guidance to juniors, and our Tae Kwon Do colleagues as brothers, sisters, uncles, fathers, and senior grandfathers overseeing all. Sport activities and modern martial arts very often do not include this way of thinking. Finally, from Taoism, we have the idea of Tae Kwon Do as a Way of Life guiding our existence, a means of self-improvement throughout our lifespan to promote health and vitality, and the duality of opposites. This is another major departure from Tae Kwon Do as a sport, where the guiding principle is medal competition (winning) over a very short period of time by the fastest and most talented students. To this end, targets are limited, and technique is streamlined to only the fastest actions to assure victory. Therefore, it can be said that sport Tae Kwon Do is outcome-based rather than process-based. You train to win the next tournament. Traditional Tae Kwon Do, having been supported and promoted by the Korean military, views the entire body as a weapon and target. The ultimate goal is to neutralize the enemy if necessary, not score points. Because of this, practice and methods involve the entire body. This also differentiates traditional practice from sport.

3 Volume 1, Issue 1 Page 3 What Defines Traditional Taekwondo? (continued) Finally, Tae Kwon Do is very much culturally traditional, having been founded in Korea by Korean masters, regarded as a source of pride by Koreans, and fully incorporating Korean culture and etiquette. This was established from the beginning by the Founding Fathers of the Tae Kwon Do, and continued by their students and later generations. Because of their work, Korea has its own indigenous martial art that proudly reflects the history, culture, and philosophy of the nation that spawned it. November Tournament Are you looking for a goal to work towards? Has your competitive spirit been itching to see what you can really do? Well let s see what you re made of!
