1 17 th ITF World Taekwon-Do Championships Pyongyang DPR Korea (2011) I had the opportunity, through an invite from the Founder of the Academy Chief Instructor Sabum Graham Moulden, to travel with him to the 17 th ITF World Taekwon-Do Championships as part of the Thailand delegation. This opportunity came about as Mr Moulden is the ITF representative in Thailand. Flying to Thailand Teaching English and Taekwon-Do I flew to Bangkok to meet with Mr Moulden and spend a few days, before flying to DPR Korea, teaching Taekwon-Do and English to his students in Bangkok and Singburi, which is about two hours drive north of Bangkok. Singburi Taekwon-Do Students Singburi is where Mr Moulden will be holding his Thailand Training Camp and I took the opportunity to see where the event will be held. Singburi will be a fantastic location for the training camp as the training venue, restaurants and night markets are all within easy walking distance of the motel where the students will be staying during the training camp. As I mentioned earlier, I had the opportunity to teach English to Mr Moulden s student in Singburi. This was a great experience for me and I enjoyed my time with the various grades of students learning to speak English.
2 Flying to DPR Korea (3 September) As there were no direct flights from Bangkok to Pyongyang Mr Moulden and I flew to Beijing and then caught an Air Koryo flight to Pyongyang. The gentleman at the bottom of the stairs is Senior Master Hutchison from Scotland. Some Academy Instructors trained under Senior Master Hutchison in At the Pyongyang Airport, after we cleared migration and customs, Mr Moulden and I were met by Mr Char who was our interpreter and contact point with the 17 th ITF World Taekwon-Do Championships Organising Committee. Mr Char was fluent in English as well as Thai and I think a little surprised to see two Australians arrive representing Thailand. However, Mr Char was invaluable during our time in DPR Korea and was always ready to answer any questions or find information we needed. Our Interpreter in DPR Korea Mr Char
3 Pyongyang Airport Thailand was one of the first country delegations to arrival at the impressive Taekwon-Do Palace where the championships were to be staged. This was where delegates and competitor registered before travelling to their accommodation. The Palace consists of a central stadium, which is large enough to hold five competition rings and seating for approximately 1,000 spectators. In addition, there are several do-jangs and a remarkable foyer in which all the medals that have been won by DPR Korea at the various world championships were on display. Taekwon-Do Palace - Pyongyang
4 Masters Day (4 September) In front of the Taekwon-Do Palace statue The Organising Committee had organised a Masters Day as part of the welcome to DPR Korea. I was very fortunate to be able to attend this day through Mr Moulden s invitation from the Organising Committee. The day involved an inspection of the future Taekwon-Do Research and Development Centre, the birthplace/home of Kim Ii Sung and a traditional Korean barbeque lunch. The Taekwon-Do Research and Development Centre is currently under construction and will house several do-jangs, injury rehabilitation facilities, research and development centre as well as extensive training facilities. The spokesperson, who provided an overview of the centre, indicated that this facility could become the central point for future International Instructor courses to ensure a uniform stand of ITF Instructors, Masters and Senior Masters world-wide. The facility was very impressive even at the early stage of construction and I look forward to visiting again when the centre is operational.
5 Taekwon-Do Research and Development Centre currently under construction The next stage of the Masters Day was a tour of Kim Il Sung s birthplace and childhood home. This is set in picturesque parklands on the outskirts of Pyongyang. It was an interesting tour and helped me to understand the culture and lifestyle of the people of DPR Korea. I noted that DPR Korea has its own calendar that is based on the date of birth of Kim Ii Sung (15 April 1912) as year 1. Kim Il Sung s birthplace and childhood home Prior to lunch on the Masters Day, Grandmaster Leong Wai Meng addressed the attendees and spoke about the importance of tradition within the ITF. Grandmaster Leong also spoke about how the Masters, Senior Masters and Grandmasters of the organisation can mould the next generation of Taekwon-Do practitioners to benefit the world and ensure the future of our martial art. The traditional Korean barbeque lunch was very popular and
6 consisted of an open charcoal fired barbeque in the middle of the guests along with other traditional Korean foods. Technical Seminar at the Taekwon-Do Palace (5 September) Senior Master Hwang held a technical seminar at the Taekwon-Do Palace. During the seminar, he explained the finer details of techniques, explaining their purpose and application as well as calling on volunteers from different countries to demonstrate all the coloured and black belt patterns. During the seminar I was able to take copious notes on the techniques demonstrated. It was particularly pleasing to see that what the Academy is teaching in terms of correct techniques etc is very close to if not the same as what Senior Master Won was explaining. This was very evident in the delivery of sine wave motion and the execution of certain techniques, which were being corrected in Instructors from other countries attending the seminar. Technical Seminar held by Senior Master Hwang (standing far right)
7 Umpire Seminar at the Taekwon-Do Palace (6 September) As part of the preparation of the umpires for the championships, Grandmaster Leong held an Umpire Seminar. The purpose of this seminar was to ensure all umpires had a common understanding of the rules under which the championships would be run and to ensure consistency in the applications of the rules. These championships were the first ITF tournament to employ electronic scoring during the individual free sparring and team sparring events. Part of the umpire seminar included an opportunity for the umpires to become familiar with the equipment, which consisted of four wireless tablet computers (one for each corner judge), a centre coordinating computer and an electronic score board. The score board added to the event by allowing the spectators to see how each competitor was progressing throughout the event. Grand Master Leong explaining the electronic scoreboard to umpires During the championships I saw a negative aspect of the progressive scoring in that competitors were reacting to the scoreboard and claiming their victory before the jury president announces the winners. This is not in the spirit of Taekwon-Do. 21 st ITF World Congress (7 September) Through an invitation from Mr Moulden, I was fortunate to be able to attend the 21 st ITF World Congress, which was held in the Peoples Palace in Pyongyang. This was the third world congress I have attended and it always impresses me the tremendous coordination required to gather approximately 80 member country delegates to meet and discuss the future of the ITF. The key aspects of the congress was the President s and Treasurer s reports, updates on the progress for the next Senior and Junior/Veterans World Championships as well as bids for future world championships.
8 Delegates to the 21 st ITF World Congress preparing for the opening address Opening Ceremony and first Day of Competition (8 September) As part of the Thailand delegation I participated in the opening ceremony in which competitors/delegates line up before the ITF President and the executive board of management in the Taekwon-Do Palace main stadium. There were a number of television news crews filming the event and to my surprise that night at the motel I saw Mr Moulden and I on the DPR Korea national news during the opening ceremony lined up behind the Thailand name bearer. Prior to entering the stadium for the opening ceremony
9 View from the floor of the opening ceremony small section of the 1,000 spectators National Teams lined up for opening address by the ITF President A highlight of the opening ceremony was the DPR Korea National Taekwon- Do Demonstration Team. This group of practitioners had recently returned from a tour of North America in which they held a number of demonstrations. The performance of this group of 21 practitioners was spectacular. Their opening sequence of about 60 fundamental movements was in unison and sharp. The remainder of the demonstration, which lasted about 40 minutes, consisted of self defence routines, step and free sparring, patterns and
10 breaking techniques. A highlight of the demonstration was the numerous aerial techniques with practitioners regularly leaping 2 metres into the air or over obstacles to break a board. Opening sequence of the DPR Korea National Taekwon-Do Demonstration Team with TV crews from across the world 4 consecutive flying side kicks DPR Korea National Taekwon-Do Demonstration Team
11 3 consecutive flying turning kicks with a flying side kick DPR Korea National Taekwon-Do Demonstration Team Flying side kick over a three storey human pyramid DPR Korea National Taekwon-Do Demonstration Team Competition (9-11 September) The Australian team won four medals during the championships in the following events. 4 th Dan Male Individual Patterns Bronze Medal 64 kg Male Individual Sparring Silver Medal 57 kg Female Individual Sparring Bronze Medal Self Defence Routine Female Bronze Medal
12 Special mentions needs to be made of the self defence routine female team, who performed a very well timed, practical, efficient and effective routine. Female Self Defence Routine Australian Team Championships Farewell Function (11 September) On the evening of the final day of competition, the competitors and delegates were invited by the Organising Committee to the Peoples Cultural Palace for a Farewell Function. Mr Moulden and I were seated with the Russian Team and over the course of the evening, through an interpreter, we were able to discuss the last 10 days and share the experience of travelling to and living in DPR Korea. There are so many advantages of travelling to the World ITF Championships that I would recommend the experience to all instructors within the Academy. One of the main advantages is the knowledge gained through witnessing Taekwon-Do practitioners from many countries, attending seminars and interaction with other cultures. Return to Bangkok (12 September) On my flight back to Australia I took the opportunity to stay in Bangkok for a few more days before returning to Brisbane. This allowed me to spend more time teaching Taekwon-Do to Mr Moulden s Bangkok students. I really enjoy their enthusiasm and look forward to seeing both the Bangkok and Singburi students again at the Thailand Training Camp in April 2012, which is being organised by Mr Moulden. As I write this article there is 177 days til the training camp is on and the countdown clock can be found at this hyperlink.
