1) dont take everything in TKD too seriously especially the spelling.
2) sparring is different then fighting
3) I do know the difference in tournaments and fighting on the streets
4) YES it is possible and it is true. There is a difference.

what are you my human tkd dictionary now?

Yeah I guess you do. I always write it taekwondo or tae kwon do. But to me it doesn't make much difference. Sadly there's too many organizations with too many rules and too many BS nonsense of TKD.

1 - you take it serious enough to get on here and make wild statements, that you can't seem to back up.
2- only if you train different
3- who cares
4- then explain it instead of just blurting out something you read somewhere

I'm waiting.

That was a semi-retarded post. But it's cool, keep drinking that Kool-Aide your teachers is feeding you.

and since it is not possible to translate a pictoral alphabet like the Hangul exactly into english (or other related languages) how it's spelled is not germaine to the discussion. Anybody who says other wise....well let's not go there.

And how dodge comes up with 17 as number of types for sparring... ^_^

I bet he has a bridge he's trying to unload as well!

Sounds to me like that - Karate For Kids - education you got is causing some confusion for you. Hehehe!

Hangul is not a "pictorial" alphabet. Not even close. Hangul is 100% based on sounds, just like the Latin alphabet. Gee, you must be thinking of Chinese, those Korean looking people that live North and West of Seoul.

I did not come up with the number 17 for types of sparring, Kukkiwon did. Of course, all those Chinese looking people at Kukkiwon must not know what they are talking about, since their Hangul is all picture letters (Ideographic), right?

ROFLMAO!

http://www.edgetranslation.net/korean1.htm

Korean has 42,000,000 speakers in South Korea and 67,019,690 speakers worldwide.

The Korean language is the official language for both north and South Korea.

The Korean language is mainly written using Hangul.

Hangul is a phonemic alphabet organized into syllabic blocks. Each block contains between two and five of the twenty four Hangul letters. Hangul has fourteen consonants and ten vowels.

Hangul means 'Great script' in Archaic Korean and 'Korean script' in modern Korean.

Unlike the Chinese writing system Hangul is not an Ideographic system.

Modern Korean, unlike Chinese and Japanese, is written with spaces between words.

Korean is usually written in rows from left to right, top to bottom.

If they were separate, you do neither. I know for sure you don't fight/combat, right?

For my explanation, it is simply, there is no ART, period. Westerner's think that "DO" somehow means art, and now easterners, when looking for a translation of their Moo-do or Bu-do, use it! Funny!

I find that people who tend to try and make an artificial separation of Taekwondo in to a so-called ART vs. Sport side do so because they never achieved anything in competition, and gain a negative feeling toward it.

Do actually means 'the way'. More of a complete system of fighting, thinking, moving etc.

Nice looking woman in that picture.

"DO", as used in Taekwondo, does mean WAY and PATH.

Systems have only used the term DO now for a little over 100 years. The DO was added to give a more competition and a different philosophical meaning to systems. Karate (To-Te) Jitsu, became Karate Do, Ju Jitsu became Judo, Kenjitsu became Kendo. Of course this all started with Jigoro Kano, but Gen. Douglas McArthur really made it stick, like glue to everything.

Taekwondo was never a "jitsu". It was born as a "DO"

Of course not, Jitsu is Japanese (and so is do, but we are not discussing semantics here)

I hope not, because the word is 'Jutsu'

'Jitsu' means 'truth'
