Cementing or sabotaging the image of Taekwondo from South Korea’s prospective

학위논문 (석사) -- 서울대학교 대학원 : 사범대학 체육교육과,글로벌스포츠매니지먼트전공, 2021. 2. Yong ho lee.Countries like South Korea have successfully nurtured the development of taekwondo from many years. The World Taekwondo Federation promotes and sanctions local, regional, national, and international tournaments throughout the world, both for sparring and forms. The WTF encourages the popularity of Taekwondo by allowing schools to market themselves to their local communities. In the Olympic games, South Korea has accumulated gold medals in Taekwondo. In recent years, government has played an active part by encouraging athletes to strive to the highest level in order to win medals. In fact, the development of a sport system is a complex and dynamic process. Physicality, body language, freedom, connection with nature and other people, energy spreading etc., all these peculiarities are intrinsic in human nature, it is something that a kid is not taught in school, it simply belongs to him. These natural instincts evolve during a lifetime and most likely are best expressed when practicing sports. As per our study we consider sport as one of the most democratic ‘places’ in which every human being could be part of and truly believe in the importance of practicing it in any of its forms. Unfortunately, several times we tend to assign too little value to this discipline. Instead, we should encourage it and discover a way to embrace it in our routine. Nowadays, the improvements within the field of artificial intelligence would be able to guarantee an even greater effect if correctly implemented. Thanks to this, it would be possible to capture a massive amount of data coming from the field to exploit in several ways. Eventually, this would mean that a great game like taekwondo wouldn’t only be the result of a good coach and talented players, nonetheless also some advanced IT specialists would make the difference in generating impactful information for the players. Each sport should browse into available technologies to renovate and get on board new participants which could eventually foster the practice of the discipline In addition to the worldwide growth and recognition of Taekwondo making it an excellent example of what an Olympic Sport should be and also the groundbreaking improvements made between past years there are other practical and organizational reasons Taekwondo included in the game. This Research provides a record of the long, sometimes uneven but ultimately successful road the sport has traveled from being a demonstration Sport to Olympic Sport. Further, this research gives us a brief detail about the up-gradation the sport has gone through, growing its spectatorship to secure its position in the Olympics. Some key points of our research work are: Semi-structured and open-ended interviews were conducted with athletes, coaches, spectators via Skype, Telephones, and one on one interviews. The thematic analysis method was used, transcribing and analyzing the interviews. Similarities and differences were discussed comparing the results with the existing literature review. Proposal for further research and restrictions and this exploration were additionally displayed.Table of Content Acknowledgement. ii Abstractiv List of Tables.xi Chapter 1: Introduction 1 1.1 Background of the Study 1 1.2 History 4 1.2.1 Brief History of Taekwondo 4 1.2.2 History and Culture of Taekwondo as a Traditional Korean Martial Art 11 1.3 Taekwondo & Technology 16 1.4 Statement of problem 19 1.5 The purpose of research 20 1.6 Significance of Study 20 1.7 Research Questions 22 Chapter 2: Literature Review 23 2.1 Taekwondo Origin 24 2.1.1 Origin of Taekwondo from Karate 24 2.1.2 Early Korean martial arts manuals 26 2.1.3 Modern taekwondo literature over south Korea 31 2.1.4 Naming of taekwondo 34 2.1.5 Definitions of Taekwondo 41 2.2 Philosophy of Taekwondo. 43 2.3 Modes of Taekwondo 46 2.4 Martial Art to Global Combat Sport 47 2.4.1 Martial Arts 47 2.4.2 Global Sport 51 2.4.3 Taekwondo Population 52 2.5 Taekwondo in Olympics 54 2.6 Transition period 57 2.7 Introduction of technology 59 2.7.1 Different Technology Implemented 62 2.7.2 Modifications of Rules and Regulations 63 2.7.3 Current New rules 65 2.8.1 Perception of spectators and competitors: Use of scoring 69 technology in Taekwondo competitions 69 2.8.2 The Perception of Instant Replaying System in Sports 72 Chapter 3: Methodology 74 3.1 Research Design and its Modes 75 3.2 Data Collection 78 3.3 Selection of Interviewees 79 3.4 Data Analysis 80 3.4.1 Thematic Analysis 80 Chapter 4: findings 82 4.1 How has new technology affected the fair play of Taekwondo as an Olympic Sport 83 4.1.1 Transparency and fair-play 83 4.1.2 Merits and demerits of the Tech - Game 85 4.2 What are the experience of athletes, coaches, referees and spectators in the global competition 86 4.2.1 Experience of athletes 87 4.2.2 Experiences of coaches 93 4.2.3 Experience of referees 100 4.2.4 Experience of spectators 105 4.3 Recommendation to improve the spectatorship and viewer ship of Taekwondo in global competition 109 4.3.1 Suggestions from athletes to make the game more popular and entertaining 110 4.3.2 Suggestions from the coaches to improve the sport's popularity among spectators- 110 4.3.3 Suggestions for future improvement of overall judging systems in Taekwondo- 110 Chapter 5- Discussion 112 5.1 Taekwondo to Tech- wondo 112 5.2 Change in playing style - Lack of interest of players 114 5.3 Consistently vanishing of inheritance 117 5.4.

Sects and violence : development of an inclusive taxonomy to hermeneutically explore the histo-philosophical motivators for the inception and development of the martial art, Wing Chun Kue

Martial arts participation rates exceed those reported for a number of higher-profile physical activities (Sport England, 2002), however little research has been conducted to investigate the purported motivation and benefits participants derive (e.g. Jones, McKay and Peters, 2006; Ko, Kim and Valacich, 2010). A specific area often discussed is the notion of personal growth (Ko et al., 2010), either through a form of psychotherapy (e.g. Monahan, 2007), extenuating what may be deemed positive personality attributes (e.g. Kurian, Caterion and Kulhavy, 1993), lowering depression (e.g. Bodin and Martinsen, 2004), reducing aggression (e.g. Twemlow, Sacco and Fonagy, 2008) or reducing stress (e.g. Yan and Downing, 1998). Such personal growth is deemed to be transformatory in nature (e.g. Lancaster, 2004; Luskin, 2004; Hartelius, Caplan and Rardin, 2007).\ud Due to issues of generalisability within martial arts research (e.g. Jones et al., 2006), one style which has lacked a tradition of academic research has been selected for a case study. Wing Chun is a unique style, developing exponentially over the past forty years: a style which retains its fighting heritage, utilising exclusive training methods (e.g. Rawcliffe, 2003). Given the pragmatic nature of Wing Chun, an hermeneutic approach has been adopted to investigate the histo-philosophical motivation for the inception of the style to provide a context from which to explore current participant motivation.\ud Initially, an inclusive theoretical taxonomy has been developed for subsequent analysis. This hermeneutic analysis has been conducted through the development of a 360 degree mixed-methodological approach (e.g. Tashakkori and Teddlie, 2008) utilising exploratory and explanatory stages (e.g. Creswell and Plano-Clark, 2007) to ascertain the validity of the taxonomy. Findings are subsequently discussed in relation to the mixed-methodological approach.\ud From the taxonomy, a proposal is that an inherent link exists between the development of a better fighter and a better person while implying that the martial arts are a person-centred transformatory practice
