태권도 품새 경연의 전개와 전제원칙

Abstract

The climate of competition is being formed according to a recent change called the strengthening in competitiveness in the martial-art circles. It became a situation that even Poomsae is not exception. This is a problem that can be led to controversy over infringing on martial-art property in Taekwondo. The serious discussion about this may be the process that tunes up the contradictory positions in conservation and progress on career of Taekwondo, and preserves martial-art property. A cause, for which communication is discontinued between skills in Poomsae and sparring in Taekwondo training, includes a point that the diverse kicking skills, which are used in sparring, cannot be accepted positively in Poomsae, namely, a point that the skill with high difficult level without combat experience is impossible for being born itself, or is merely the formal movement even if being performed. In addition to this, even the approach to being skillful just in colorful kicking of sparring without mastering Poomsae can be a problem. Accordingly, a serious discussion is a task that will need to be preceded about whether allowing Poomsae to be sport and competition will lead to advancement in Taekwondo or to crisis dubbed ‘loss of martial-art property.' Taekwondo, which is based on the Thought of martial arts in the Orient, is what can be preserved identity only when seeking for a method that the essence of martial arts is not discolored on the basis of the Thought of Sim-shin-il-yeo(心身一如).
