HISTORY...

The oldest Korean martial art was an amalgamation of unarmed combat styles developed by the three rival Korean Kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, where young men were trained in unarmed combat techniques to develop strength, speed, and survival skills. The most popular of these techniques was ssireum and subak with being the most popular of the segments of subak.

The Northern Goguryeo kingdom was a dominant force in Northern Korea and North Eastern China prior to common era and again from the 3rd century to the 6th century CE. Before the fall of Goguryeo Dynasty 6th century CE, the Shilla Kingdom asked for help in training its people for defence against pirate invasions. During this time a few select Silla warriors were given training in taekkyeon by the early masters from Koguryo. These Shilla warriors then became known as the Hwarang. The Hwarang set up a military academy for the sons of royalty in Silla called Hwarang-do, which means "the way of flowering manhood."

The Hwarang studied taekkyeon, history, philosophy, ethics, Buddhist morality, social skills and military tactics. The guiding principles of the Hwarang warriors were based on Won Gwang's five codes of human conduct and included loyalty, filial duty, trustworthiness, valor and justice. Taekkyeon was spread throughout Korea because the Hwarang traveled all around the peninsula to learn about the other regions and people. In spite of Korea's rich history of ancient and traditional martial arts, Korean martial arts faded into obscurity during the late Joseon Dynasty. Korean society became highly centralized under Korean Confucianism and martial arts were poorly regarded

    In medieval Japan, the relationship between warriors and clan chiefs was very intense. An outcome of this feudal arrangement was a strict code of warrior behavior emerged known as Bushido (way of the warrior), which called upon warrior to sacrifice his life for his master. Such an act was thought of as the highest from of honor and respect. It was during the twelfth century that these warriors became known as samurai, meaning “those who serve.” Although the samurai were mainly soldiers, many excelled in the arts and philosophy. In these pursuits, the samurai normally showed the same type of discipline that characterized their martial…

    While Japanese rulers embraced Chinese culture, and especially Buddhism, the aristocracy and Buddhist monks sometimes at odds and sometimes in concert, opposed Sinification. Court culture borrowed heavily from China, although indigenous traditions contributed. Korea was originally settled by peoples who were unlike those that created China and had a longer tradition than Japan of development independent from China. Sinification was limited to only the upper level of society. Like Korea, the Vietnamese people were culturally distinct from China and, moreover, separated by mountainous regions. Like Korea, Vietnamese elites were most heavily influenced by Chinese culture. Use of Chinese models of military and political organization aided the Vietnamese against their southern neighbors.…

    It has been a very long journey between now and the beginning of my journey as a 1st Dan Black Belt. To start off, I would like to thank Head Master Wayne Steinmetz, Master Frank Mueller, Master Tina Curtis and all of the other Black Belts in The McHenry Flying Dragons for giving me this opportunity to continue on and achieve my goal to becoming a Black Belt. As my journey went on, I have realized that I have changed a lot just from becoming a Black Belt instead of a colored belt because when a Black Belt comes into play they wake up to the fact that they can be a role model as they grow into Kyuki-Do more and more. I, on the other hand, have experienced that feeling; my mom has been working at a school for 17 years being an aide and finally a green stripe from our school she said, “Hey, Easton, guess what? There was a little boy named Danny and he was practicing his form during recess today.” She also said, “I asked him, who you learned that from?” The little boy said, “A Black Belt from my school, his name was Easton.” When my mom told me that story it made me feel so happy inside because there was a lower belt looking up to me, as if I was his role model.…

    By the time of Lady Hyegyŏng, neo-Confucianism was arguably the dominant intellectual school within the Chosŏn court. This reflects upon how the movement of “neo-Confucianism spread rapidly among the ranks of the officialdom and became the major focus of the curriculum in the highest academic institutions” (SEAT, 558). This education was something that was introduced to Lady Hyegyŏng from an early age, likely due to her father’s scholarly position. While her memoirs can give the perception of a widespread system of instruction for women, in actuality Lady Hyegyŏng’s status granted her access to Confucian scholars that would have not been available to the general population. Perhaps one of the greatest reasons for this emphasis on educating women, was in the pursuit of preparation for them to be able to further the scholarship of their own…

    The samurai were highly skilled Japanese warriors from the middle ages. During this time, warring clans controlled most of the country. Therefore, Lords would hire Samurai to defend and fight for land. As a result, the samurai population skyrocketed. In fact, They were so important to society that they became their own social class. The meaning of the word samurai is very fitting. The word samurai comes from a Japanese word Saburau, meaning “to serve.” Although the samurai were called this, according to PBS’ article on the History of the Samurai,”(The word) was first used in A.D 702 to describe mid-to-low ranking administrators.” Their title was mostly metaphorical, referring to their devotion to their leader.…

    Because the Korean language was grammatically similar to Japanese, but had adopted Chinese writing, it provided a model for writing to develop in Japan. The introduction of Buddhism was another major influence from Korea (Schirokauer, Conrad and Miranda Brown, et al, Chapter 6). Buddhism generally relied on the support of the state for its existence, and in exchange the religion provided a way for a state to demonstrate its legitimacy. When the Korean state of Paekche was under threat from its rival, Silla, it began to export Buddhism to its allies in Japan (Schirokauer, Conrad and Miranda Brown, et al, Chapter 6). During the later Tomb period, the Asuka, a group called the Soga, who are associated with Korea, even took power in the royal court, marrying into various royal families and manipulating factions to maintain control (Schirokauer, Conrad and Miranda Brown, et al, Chapter…

    It is clear by the number of artifacts and remnants of Buddhist artwork and architecture in Korea that Buddhism imported from India via China had a great influence on the development of Korean culture and values. To this day, Buddhism remains as one of Korea’s widely accepted religion after Christianity. Why did Buddhism have such a strong influence on the development of Korean culture? In what way did it help the budding 3 kingdoms find a foothold in establishing the Three Kingdoms period? Why did Buddhism last so long through the Three Kingdoms period, the Koryo period, the Choson period, to the modern day?…

    The Fall of the Yangban

    • 467 Words
    • 2 Pages

    A group of literati known collectively as the yangban dominated society during the Chosôn dynasty (1392–1910). Like its meaning, “two orders,” yangban were divided into two classes, civil (munban) and military (muban). The yangban was expected to hold public office, follow the Confucian doctrine through study and self-cultivation, and help cultivate the moral standards of Chosôn society. As an elite class, the yangban enjoyed special privileges and actively sought to preserve the purity and exclusivity of their group, some of which include marrying only among themselves and living in separate quarters of Seoul. There was, however, internal hierarchy within the yangban group—for instance, the civil order being more prestigious than the military. (Korea old and new) Toward the end of the Chosôn dynasty, the grievances and protests of large numbers of discontented or "fallen" yangban would erode the core of yangban society.(bookrags)…
