품새수련에 대한 새로운 의미 탐색과 품새개념의 재정립 모색

Abstract

This study is to review the traditional concepts of poomsae and emerging discussions on the meaning of poomsae practice. The study is also to reinterpret the traditional concepts of poomsae and to extend the concept of poomsae in technical and practical context. The study surveyed diverse textbooks of taekwondo that have been valued as authentic and prestigious source books to analyze the traditional concepts of poomsae. The origins of poomsae was traced into three historical sources, fighting skills, hygienic exercise, and expressive performance like dance and demonstration. The characteristic features of poomsae movements of martial arts are depicted in the study as; stylistic formalization, composition with techniques, fixed arrangement of movements, incorporation of rhythm and movements, and process oriented performance. Those are proposed in the study as the key concepts of new poomsea practice; 1) Poomsae has three roots of origin; fighting, hygienic, and expressive roots and three values of martial art, health exercise, and expressive performance. 2) Poosae can be practiced with multiple purposes such as self-defense, exercise for health, basic training process for diverse martal arts including weapon techniques, and techniques of expressive performance. 3) Poomsae is not the only way of practicing techniques but a way of practicing techniques in martial arts. 4) The meaning and value of poomsae practice and gyorugi(sparring) practice can be distinguished from each other instead tied each other. So these two area of techniques can freed from the conceptual subjugation of traditional notion of poomsae.
