Welcome Criminology Student!

The course covers the study of the principles of martial arts as means of self-defense for law
enforcement officers. It includes the instructions on the basic and advance fighting stances, kicks, blocks, strikes,
grips, punches, and different forms of Kata with emphasis on martial arts discipline and values. As a martial artist
and a fighter of different styles, we need to adopt the mixed martial arts and incorporate it with my knowledge and
experiences in the real street fighting and martial arts competition. Knowledge in boxing, kickboxing, taekwondo,
karate, muay-thai, judo, jujitsu, aikido and other discipline are combined in mixed martial arts fighting, but our
traditional martial arts is far better and useful specially the basic techniques and fundamental principle that includes
the discipline. Remember the traditional martial arts are the foundation and roots of the mixed martial arts.

INTRODUCTION
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

There are several martial arts taught throughout the world. Different technique, style, etiquette and discipline but they have the same purpose; awareness,
fitness, health benefits, sport, self-confidence, brotherhood and ability to protect themselves.

As a martial artist and a fighter of different styles, we need to adopt the mixed martial arts and incorporate it with my knowledge and experiences in the real
street fighting and martial arts competition. Knowledge in boxing, kickboxing, taekwondo, karate, muay-thai, judo, jujitsu, aikido and other discipline are
combined in mixed martial arts fighting, but our traditional martial arts is far better and useful specially the basic techniques and fundamental principle that
includes the discipline. Remember the traditional martial arts are the foundation and roots of the mixed martial arts.

4
Enjoy the art develop it and learn other styles because we believed martial arts is a science or knowledge of continuous living and learning. If you get your
blackbelt in five years and then you stop practicing in the next five years, your belt remains black but your body is going back to white belt, according to Dr.
Jose Rizal “ANG PAG AARAL AY NAGSISIMULA SA DUYAN HANGGANG SA LIBINGAN”

HISTORY OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

Brief history of mixed martial arts started during the Greco-Roman era there exist an ancient Olympic combat sport, known as “PANKRATION” which is
being fought by a combination of grappling and striking, similar to modern mixed martial arts. But if we try to study definitely the origin and history of mixed
martial arts that started during the time of Jacob in the old testaments which is found in the bible. We can say that martial arts have also a biblical origin.
Jacob found himself lame from grappling with the angel. But Jacob was delightful, for he knew that his sinner nature has been conquered and that he was
blessed by God. Jacob fought against the angel by grappling while the angel punched the thigh of Jacob. That is the principle of mixed martial arts. Punching
and grappling hence, the modern MMA discovered. That discipline had existed already in the ancient history including the Holy Scripture that is the reason
why some martial arts discipline is combined with spiritual principle, belief and practice.

MODERN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

The modern mixed martial arts history started in the 1900’s in some places of America, Europe, Japan and other parts of the globe. November 12, 1993 the
first Ultimate fighting championship (UFC) at Las Vegas Nevada was held.

Mixed martial arts are full contact combat sports that allows several techniques like boxing, grappling and includes the techniques of kick boxing, Boxing,
Taekwondo, Judo, Karate, Muay-Thai, Brazilian Ju-jitsu and many other styles to be used.

Basic Stances
Attention Stance The feet are at 45 degrees. This is the attention position called at the start
of the class and at the end of class. ( Charyot Sogi )
Parallel Ready Stance This is the basic ready stance in Taekwon-Do. Weight distribution
is 50/50. Movements may be performed in this stance - sine wave is generated by coming
up onto the balls of the feet and dropping the body's weight. ( Narani Sogi )
Walking Stance The front leg is bent, with the knee over the ankle, while the back leg is
straight. The rear foot is turned out approximately 25 degrees. Weight distribution: 50/50.
( Gunnun Sogi )
L-Stance The rear leg is bent and the forward leg is almost straight. The toes of both feet
point inwards slightly. The body is always either side or half facing in this stance. Weight
distribution: 70 percent of the weight is on the rear leg. ( Niunja Sogi )
Fixed Stance Fixed stance is similar to a lengthened L-stance, except that the weight
distribution is even and both legs are equally bent. Whether it is a left or right stance is
therefore determined by the forward leg. ( Gojong Sogi )
Sitting Stance In sitting stance, sine wave is generated by almost straightening the knees,
then bending them. Weight distribution is 50/50. There is no obverse or reverse. ( Annun
Sogi )
Closed Stance This can be either full facing or side facing. There are four varieties, Moa
Junbi Sogi A, Moa Junbi Sogi B, Moa Junbi Sogi C and Moa Junbi Sogi D. ( Moa Sogi )
Rear Foot Stance Stand with your front foot facing forwards and the back foot turned 45
degrees to the side, keep the feet quite close together Weight distribution: 90 percent of the
weight is on the rear leg. Additionally, your front foot should be up on the ball of the foot
(heel off the ground). This stance appears in Joong-Gun.

 History
Tae Kwon-do as it is today was developed and founded by Grand master general Choi
Hong Hi 9th degree black belt (9 November 1918 — 15 June 2002). As a martial art it is
unique to any other in that it utilizes fundamental principles of physics in the development of
technique and power. Grandmaster Choi set out to use his knowledge of "Tae Kyon" an
ancient Korean form of foot fighting to develop Tae Kwon do as a uniquely Korean art
superior in both spirit and technique to Japanese karate. This art which was modern Tae
Kwon Do was founded on the 11th April 1955. Grand master Choi then set himself to the
task of bringing Tae Kwon Do to the rest of the world. Renowned for spectacular feats of
power and flying kicking techniques said to have been used by ancient Korean warriors to
dismount attacking warriors from their horses the popularity of Tae Kwon do spread rapidly
to become a martial art practiced all around the globe.

WHAT IS TAEKWONDO?

Taekwondo is derived from the Korean words “Tae” meaning foot, “Kwon” meaning fist and
“Do” meaning art or way. So, literally, Taekwondo means “the way of the foot and fist”. It is an
art of self-defense involving the skilled application of techniques that include punches, strikes,
kicks, blocks, dodges and interceptions with the bare hands and feet to overpower an
opponent. The name Taekwondo, however, has only been used since 1955 while the arts’ roots
began 2,300 years ago in Korea.

It can be traced to the traditional Tae Kyon, the art of self-defense which originated 2000 years
ago during the Silla Dynasty in Korea. Tae Kyon was taught and practiced among the youth of
Hwarang, who were hand-picked to be trained as military leaders of Silla, one of the three ruling
kingdoms of Korea at that time.

WORLD TAEKWONDO FEDERATION

The World Taekwondo Federation is the International Federation [IF] governing the sport of
Taekwondo. It is a member of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations
[ASOIF]. The WTF recognizes national Taekwondo governing bodies recognized by the
National Olympic Committee [NOC] in each country, as its members. The incumbent president
of the WTF is Dr. Chungwon Choue, PhD.

10
The WTF consists of 177 national Taekwondo governing bodies as its members. Following the
recognition of the WTF by the International Olympic Committee in 1980, Taekwondo was
staged at the Olympics in Seoul in 1988 and in Barcelona in 1992 as a demonstration sport. In
1994, at the Paris 103rd IOC Session, Taekwondo was adopted as an official program of the
Sydney 2000 Olympics. Taekwondo was confirmed as an official sport of the 2004 Athens
Olympic Games and 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Taekwondo is a “sport-for-all” for the training of body and mind. The global Taekwondo
population is estimated at about 50 million. The WTF organizes international competitions:
World Taekwondo Championships, Women’s World Taekwondo Championships, World Cup
Taekwondo Team Championships, and World Junior Taekwondo Championships. A new event,
World Taekwondo Poomse Championships will soon begin.

THE PHILIPPINE TAEKWONDO ASSOCIATION

Taekwondo was introduced in the Philippines by a Korean expert who was invited by the
Philippine Government to demonstrate the martial art in 1970. During that time, the martial arts
became very lucrative in the country due to global cinematic exposure and provided the path for
the proliferation of Taekwondo in the Philippines. Because of the beauty and flamboyance of
Taekwondo, its popularity soon captured a good following. And with this, the first Taekwondo
headquarters was established in Makati. During the 1 st Asian Taekwondo Championships in
1974 (Seoul, Korea), the Philippines ventured forth in the international scene by winning a
bronze medal. Since that fateful day, the Philippines has participated in various international
Taekwondo competitions, winning medals and graining honors.

It was in 1976 when the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) sent one of its best international
master-instructors to the Philippines. Sung Chon Hong, a 9 th Dan blackbelt degree and former
world champion, was to be the Chief Instructor of the Philippines and Vice-President of the local
association. On that same year, the Philippine Taekwondo Association was formally organized.
Through the years, Taekwondo has flourished in the country. The PTA boasts of having
500,000 members at present in different regions and provinces of the archipelago. Our
memberships in school, colleges and universities, gyms and clubs, top corporation and
11
government agencies including the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) amount to some
1,500 chapters nationwide.

The PTA Vision

We perceive a nation with dynamic citizenry through the influence and motivation of
Taekwondo as a martial art, science and sport.

Our Purpose

To contribute to the development of our people by imploring values, enhancing their

skills through constant practice and living the spirit of the martial arts through the psychology of
sports. And to gain honors for the Philippines through international competitions while acting as
ambassadors of friendship and goodwill.

FOUNDATION OF A TRUE TAEKWONDO JIN

TENETS OF TAEKWONDO

Self- Confidence

Modesty

Indomitable Spirit

Perseverance

Etiquette

13
A person has self-confidence when he believes in his own abilities. It follows, therefore, that a
person must first acquire these abilities through constant study, training and practice. True self-
confidence is based on true knowledge about one’s self and abilities.

A modest person has a humble opinion of one’s self and one’s achievements. A modest
person is not flashy or showy. The virtue of humility helps a person control his disordered desire
for his own excellence, and therefore it helps to create an atmosphere that makes it possible for
people to get along together.

A person with indomitable spirit is not easily discouraged or defeated. Having indomitable
spirit requires an inner reflection on things to determine whether they are right or wrong and
then proceeding to do what is right. Indomitable spirit therefore, is very closely related to the
virtue of prudence.

A persevering person takes the steps necessary to achieve the goal he has set himself, in
spite of internal or external difficulties, and despite anything that might weaken his resolve in
the course of time. The final test of perseverance is the ability to finish what one has decided
and set out to do.

Etiquette is the form of conduct or behavior prescribed by custom or authority to be observed

in social, official or professional life. It is the manner of acting correctly. Etiquette is an
indispensable part of the virtues of courtesy, self-control and the cardinal virtue of justice.

THE TAEKWONDO TRAINING PROGRAM

Taekwondo training consists of Poomse (forms), Kyorugi (sparring) and Kyukpa (breaking).
A. POOMSE (Forms)
Poomse is a series o offensive and defensive movements practiced against an imaginary
opponent. It is possible, therefore, to learn Taekwondo without an opponent and to
become proficient in actual sparring using the various techniques and movements in the
forms.

14
 Benefits of Poomse
 Increases breathing control, flexibility and balance
 Builds stronger muscles, ligaments and tendons
 Familiarizes the student with the different
a. Foot, hand and body movements
b. Types of power; staying power and bursts of power
 Allows a fuller range of movement
 Develops self-confidence, and mental courage
 Is a good physical conditioner

B. KYORUGI (Sparring)
Kyorugi or sparring is an actual fight between two competitors using the offensive and
defensive skills acquired through the practice of Taekwondo. This activity is a regular
part of the training program for those who are yellow belts and above.

Three types of Kyorugi or Sparring

1. Pre-arranged sparring
This is a sparring using a predetermined set of movements. It is usually the self-
defense movements which can be grouped into the one-step self-defense
movements which can be grouped into the one-step self-defense of the three-step
self-defense.

2. Free sparring / study sparring

The right occasion to experiment or try out new techniques is during this kind of
sparring. It is a controlled or practice sparring in preparation for actual competitions.

3. Competition sparring
This is a type of sparring using the skillful techniques and strategies practiced in the
gym but governed by the WTF competition rules.

C. KYUKPA (Breaking)
Breaking or Kyukpa is a way of gauging the precision of kicks and the power of
techniques by breaking a solid object such as a board or brick. This skill is learned and
practiced by more advanced players.

REGULAR TRAINING SESSIONS

15
Training sessions always start with warm-up exercises designed to reduce the probability of
muscular injury and to tune up the mind and body in preparation for more rigorous exercise.
