Student Training Manual

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 fist- chiefly to punch or destroy with the hand or fist. 'Do' means art, way or method. Tae Kwon-Do 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 2

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 Kwon-Do 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. BELT ORDER AND MEANINGS WHITE - Signifies innocence, as that of the beginning student who has no previous knowledge of Tae Kwon-Do. YELLOW - Signifies Earth, from which a plant sprouts and takes root as Tae Kwon-Do foundation is being laid. GREEN - Signifies the plant's growth as Tae Kwon-Do skills begin to develop. BLUE - Signifies the heaven towards which the plant matures into a towering tree as training in Tae Kwon-Do progresses.

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. RULES OF THE DOJANG 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. No smoking inside the Dojang. No gum chewing. No jewellery may be worn during class. No shoes to be worn in the dojang at any time. Students should never leave class for a break, water or an early dismissal without permission. 6. Never lose your temper in the Dojang - especially during sparring. 7. Never lean on walls or lay spread out on the floor unless while exercising. 8. Students must keep finger and toe nails clipped short and clean. 9. Keep your uniform clean at all times. 10.No horse-play, whistling or loud talking in the Dojang. 11.No talking during class except to ask a question. 12.Before asking a question, raised your right hand to attract the instructor's attention. 13.While in the Dojang, always address the instructor as 'Sir' or 'Mr' using the instructors surname. 14.Students should behave in a disciplined manner while training. 15.Bow to the flag before entering or leaving the Dojang. 16.Respect all members of senior grade. 17.While fixing your Dobok or belt do not face your instructor. 18.Any student who is late for class must get the instructor's permission and bow to the instructor before joining the class.

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

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 11

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.

Paektus summit is a large crater lake named Chon -Ji, meaning Heavenly Lake. Paektu is an extinct volcano and it is also claimed to be the original home of the legendary founder of Korea, Dan-Gun. There are numerous accounts of a Loch Ness type of creature living in lake Chon -Ji. Chon-Ji is appropriately named because creation is the beginning of all things and this pattern establishes a good foundation for all the remaining patterns. Chon-Ji consists of two similar parts one part representing heaven one part representing earth.

The Legend of Dan-Gun Every October 3 is Gae-cheon-jeol or the Festival of the Opening of Heaven, the Korean foundation day. Dan-gun is considered the founder of 1st Korean Kingdom. The legend of Dan-Gun dates back to ancient times when world was ruled by Hwanin, Lord of the Heaven. His son, Hwangung along with 3,000 followers descended and lived in this world. It was told that a tiger and a bear prayed to Hwangung wishing to become human. He had given both 20 cloves of garlic and a bundle of mugwort. They were told to eat this sacred food and remain in the cave for 100 days. After 20 days the tiger gave up and left the cave but the bear remained in the cave and was transformed into a beautiful woman. She became known as Ungnyeo (Ung-Yo) which means bear-woman. Ung-Yo was grateful and made offerings to Hwang-Ung but as she lacked a husband she became sad and prayed. Hwang-Ung was moved by her prayers and took her as his wife and
www.newporttkd.co.uk Page 20

she gave birth to a son whom they named Dan-Gun (Tangun). Dan-Gun rose to the throne and built the city of Asadal, this given rise to the Korean Dynasty called Go-Joseon. He is regarded to have built the first altar on Kang-Wha Island in 2265 BC which is also known as Danguns Altar. Legend has it that Dan-Gun was a wise and powerful leader until his reign ended after being ousted by a Chinese descendant of the Shang Dynasty named Ki-Ja. Dan-Gun was said to have reigned for 1,211 years or until the age of 1,908 when he returned to his spirit form.

The Life of Do-San Ahn Chang-ho was a Korean independence activist born in South Pyongahn-do on November 9, 1876. He is also referred to as Do-San, his popular pen name. At the age of 18 in 1894 he became a member of the Tongnip Hyophoe Independence Association which promoted independence from Japan but they were interrupted when the groups leader was forced into exile into the United States. This strengthened his belief that they had themselves to blame for their failures and victory would only come from within. It was in 1899 that he established the Cheomjin (gradual process) School in Pyongyang which reflected his philosophy of evolutionary social changes through education. Ahn Chang-ho was one of the first Koreans to emigrate to the United States when he arrived in September 1902 with his wife. It was then he decided to call himself Do-San meaning island mountain. While living in San Francisco, he initiated a social reform movement and organized the San Francisco Social Meeting which was desperately needed by the Korean American society. He also organized what is known as Kungminhoe (Korean National Association) which inspired national independence for Korean immigrants. In 1906 he returned to Korea and organized an underground independence group called Shinmin-Hoe (New Peoples Association) which was to promote Korean independence by cultivating nationalism. In 1908 he founded the Tae-Song (large achievement) School in Pyongyang. At this time the Japanese were in the process of removing education for Koreans to ensure illiteracy and create a class of slaves. The Shinmin-Hoe had grown in size and was considered a threat by the Japanese occupiers. In December 1910, the Japanese fabricated an plot to assassinate the Japanese Governor General Terauchi. Over 600 Christians and all of Shinmin-Hoe leaders were arrested, with over 105 brought to trial following torture. Pressure was felt from the world community that most of the defendants had to be set free after it was alleged that the plot was an obvious fabrication. After the passage of an Education Act in 1911 the Japanese occupiers started to close all Korean schools and as a result the Tae-Song School was closed in 1913 and by 1914 all Korean schools had been shut down.

The Life of Won-Hyo Won-Hyo was born on 617 AD in the town of Za-in-myon in Kyongsang Province. His name at birth wa Sol Sedang but assumed his pen name in later years Won -Hyo from his nickname Sedak meaning dawn after being accomplished as a Buddhist philosopher and poet. It is thought that he became a monk at the age of 20 after witnessing many of his friends being killed during the civil wars amongst the Koguryo, Silla, and Paekche kingdoms. There are many differing accounts of how he became a monk. Some say he converted his house into a temple, while other say he just shaved his head and went into the mountains to live as a monk. It is even unclear where he learned Buddhism. At the age of 33 he set out for China with a friend inspired to study under the Buddhist scholar Huan-Tchuang. They barely escaped capture as they were mistaken for spies. Here is one of the stories in Korean Buddhism which involves Won-Hyos enlightenment during his journey to China. One evening as Won-Hyo crosses the desert he stops and sleeps at a small patch of green with trees and water. As it was pitch dark, he searched for water and found a cup on the ground. He picked it up and drank the water. He bowed in gratitude and thanked Buddha for the delicious gift of water But when he woke up the next morning he saw what was beside him was a shattered skull, blood caked with flesh stuck to the cheek bones. As he saw the skull he began to vomit. As the vomit poured he began to understand, since last night as he hadnt thought and seen anything, the water was delicious but in the morning it made him vomit. He said to himself, thinking makes good and bad, life and death. Without thinking, there is no universe, no Buddha, No Dharma. All is one and this one is empty. He realized there was no need to find a master as he understood life and death. He turned and headed back across the desert to Korea. His friend Uisang continued to China and learned the doctrines of Hua-yen and established this in Korea. Upon his return he took vast amounts of scholarly work and was well known to the general population and to the royal family. In 660 AD King Muyo asked him to live in the royal palace of Yosok. It resulted with a relationship with the royal princess Kwa and subsequent marriage and birth of their son Sol-Chong. He travelled around the country and became respected by the people. In 661 AD he developed the Chongto-Gyo (pure land) sect which required diligent prayer for salvation. This made religion accessible to the lower class and became popular among the entire population. By 662 AD he left the priesthood and travelled the country teaching his sect to the common people. His contributions to culture and national awareness of Silla were instrumental in the unification of three kingdoms of Korea.
www.newporttkd.co.uk Page 27

Won-Hyo died at the age of 70 just nine years after the unification of the Korean Peninsula under the Silla dynasty. It was said that during his time he authored 240 works in Buddhism of which 20 works in 25 volumes still exist. One of the forms he chose to use was Hyang-Ga, a special Silla Poetic form. His poem is said to be among the most admired poems. In his life Won-Hyo dominated intellectual and religious arenas in and out of Korea. He set shape and form of Silla Buddhism and a dominant figure in Korean Buddhist tradition. He is one of the most influential thinkers Korea has produced. Student Notes:

By age 7 he had finished lessons in Confucian Classics and passed the Civil Service literary exam at the age of 13. By the age of 29 he passed a higher civil service exam with full marks. His thesis was regarded as a literary masterpiece displaying his knowledge of history and politics and his profound knowledge of Taoism. He took the pen name Yul-Gok meaning valley of chestnuts and at 34 years he authored Tongho Mundap, an article about how righteous government could be achieved within his own lifetime and with measures to accomplish it. At 36 years of age after the death of his mother he secluded himself into the Diamond Mountains. It was not known why but some say that sought three years of lamentation, or he may have regarded it as a pleasure to retire to the countryside to rest. After his return to society he authored The Essentials of Confucianism in 1576. Yul-gok died in 1584 and the valuable Yul-gok Chonjip (The Complete Works of Yul-gok) was compiled after his death on the basis of the writings he left.

The Life of Joong-Gun Ahn Joong-Gun was born on 1879 in the town of Hae-Ju in Hwang-Hae Province. He became a teacher and founded a school called Sam-Heung (three success). But with the Japanese occupation of Korea this means, just like all schools, it would be under scrutiny. Korea got involved with the conflict as a result of trouble from China in 1900. The colonial powers moved into the Orient, England formed an alliance with Japan after Russia moves into Manchuria. After which a Russo-French Alliance moves into northern Korea. Japan demands the removal of Russian troops from Korea but when Russia rejected this Japan launches a naval attack and subsequently invades Korea. Hiro-Bumi Ito was named the first Japanese Governor General of Korea in 1905 and pressured the Korean government to sign the Protectorate Treaty on November 19, 1905 which gave Japan legal rights to occupy Korea. The new Japanese puppet government passed laws that allowed Korean land to be sold to Japanese even as land was just taken. This enraged the people of Korea and a number of guerrilla groups were formed to attack the Japanese forces but were crushed by the larger Japanese army. Many local Korean officials committed suicide and Korean signatories to the Protectorate Treaty were assassinated. Because of this, Ahn Joong-gun went into exile and formed a small guerrilla movement of 300 men to carry out raids across the border. In June 1907 Emperor Ko_Jong sent an emissary to the Hague Peace Conference to expose the Japanese aggression but Hiro-Bumi Ito found out and forced Ko-Jong to abdicate the throne. This led to rioting involving Korean army units. The Japanese army disbanded the Korean army and police force and defeated any of their retaliation. Ahn Joong-Gun led his guerrillas on a successful raid in June 1909, but the Japanese arrived at an agreement with the Chinese giving them access to the Southern Manchurian Railway. This
www.newporttkd.co.uk Page 34

allowed the exploitation of mineral resources in Manchuria. In exchange the Japanese give China territorial rights to Kando. This led to the assassination plan of Hiro-Bumi Ito. Ito had planned to meet a Russian official in Manchuria and when his train arrived at Harbin train station, Ahn Joong-Gun was waiting. Even though he knew that he would be tortured if he was captured by the Japanese, Ahn shot Ito as he stepped off the train. Ahn Joong-Gun was indeed captured and imprisoned in Port Arthur and suffered 5 months of barbaric torture. At 10am on March 26, 1910, Joong-Gun was executed at Lui-Shung prison at the age of 32. His sacrifice of life for his country symbolized the loyalty and dedication that Korean people felt towards their independence. In the calligraphy he wrote in his cell in prison prior to his execution it said The best rivers and mountains which can be interpreted to mean that he felt his country was the most beautiful on earth. He was an educator, a guerrilla leader and most of all one of Koreas great patriots. Student Notes:

The History of the Hwa-Rang The Korean peninsula was divided into three kingdoms of Silla, Koguryo, and Paekche during the 6th century AD with the smallest kingdom, Silla, constantly besieged by its neighbours. So in 576 AD the 24th king of the Silla dynasty established Hwa-Rang warriors from groups of young noblemen to be trained in all forms of warfare and defend the kingdom. Each group consisted of thousands of members from the nobility chosen by popular election and each senior leader would be regarded as Kuk-Son which were similar to the Knights of King Arthurs round table. There were five cardinal principles of human relations, three scholarships and six ways of service that trainees had to learn and after completion they were presented to the king for nomination as Hwa-Rang or Kuk-Son. The Hwa-Rang trained to improve their military skills, enhance their minds with principles, and strengthen their bodies with physical training. Along with lessons in arts, literature and science these candidates also learned the art of warfare and hand to hand combat. The hand to hand combat was based on Um-Yang principles of Buddhist philosophy. Subak
www.newporttkd.co.uk Page 42

which was practiced by common people throughout the three kingdoms was adopted and transformed by the Hwa-Rang, as they intensified and added more techniques to the discipline. It was believed that a Hwa-Rang punch was so powerful as it could penetrate a wooden armour of the enemy. The Hwa-Rang code was established in the 30th year of King Chin-Hungs rule. It was told that a set of commandments was given by Wong-Gwang Popsa, a famous Buddhist warrior monk, and based these on Confucian and Buddhist principles that were divided into five rules and nine virtues. The Hwa-Rang were the first group to possess a spiritual warrior code which was passed on to Japan and gave birth to the famous Samurai tradition. The zeal of Hwa-Rang helped Silla become the worlds first Buddhist kingdom and united the three kingdoms of Korea. After the unification and the defeat of the Chinese Tang dynasty, the people started to think more of philosophical ideas. With their vast knowledge of healing they became known as specializing in Buddhist philosophy, healing and poetry and no longer as royal warriors. Student Notes:

The Life of Choong-Moo Yi Soon-Sin (Choong-Moo) was born in Seoul on April 25, 1545. His family moved to Asan Chungcheongdo province where he started his education. He eventually took up the military course, passed the entrance examination at the age of 32 and was appointed an officer to start his military service. Through the years he rose through the ranks and was appointed as naval commander of the Left Division of Cheollado when he was 47 years old. This was the time when he came up with the idea of the armoured battleship Kobukson which had iron plates covering the top decks resembling a turtles shell. At his time the ship was regarded as revolutionary as being the most developed warship of its time. The Japanese Shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi wanted conquest of China but knew it would be financially draining thus requested that Korea aid in this request. But after being refused, he ordered to attack Korea as his plan was to sweep through the peninsula and on to China. With superior technology such as muskets imported from Europe, the Japanese troops reached
www.newporttkd.co.uk Page 46

Seoul in a matter of 2 weeks and occupied the entire country by May 1592. In 1592 Admiral Yi Soon-Sin made headquarters in the port city of Yosu wherein he started construction of the Kobukson. He engaged the Japanese at Okpa and was successful in setting fire to 26 japanese ships and forced the rest to flee. A courageous and tactical genius Admiral Yi fought every Japanese squadron he encountered and seemed to always outguess the enemy. His bravery was shown by not demonstrating pain when shot in the shoulder, rather revealing his injury once the battle was over. Admiral Yis greatest engagement was on August 1592 when 100,000 Japanese reinforcements headed to the Pyongyang peninsula. He confronted them among the islands off the southern coast of Korea. He used his Kobukson to ram into the Japanese ships and his fleet copied his actions and were successful in sinking 71 vessels. Reinforcements came and Admiral Yi was able to sink 48 of them. It was considered as one for the historys greatest naval battles. Admiral Yi also took command of the entire Korean Navy of 180 ships and used them to attack the main Japanese naval forces that were still in anchor. He was able to sink over half of the Japanese vessels and this has been regarded as the most important series of naval engagements in history. He was so dominant over the seas that no Japanese supply ship could reach Korea and forced Japanese forces to dwindle. But then a Japanese spy was able to ingratiate himself to the Korean General Kim Eung-Sun and convinced that the Japanese was due to attack Korea with a great numbers. Choong-Moo was ordered to sink the Japanese fleet but yet refused orders claiming the area given was highly dangerous and filled with rocks. He was arrested due to insubordination and was eventually demoted to a foot soldier where he responded with humility and followed such orders. Student Notes:
