Questioning\u00a0the diversity of entities that claim to\u00a0represent, promote, and teach\u00a0Taekwon-Do, created,\u00a0disseminated, and evolved by its creator, General Choi Hong Hi, is pointless. This has been discussed\u00a0ad\u00a0nauseam, to the point that the existence of an indefinite number of entities claiming such authority is now universally accepted.<\/p>\n
Of course, none of them are. None of them is an extension of the original because the real one, with its context, organizational structure, administrative order, unity of criteria, pedagogical system, and technical development, died along with its founder in June 2002. If this\u00a0weren’t\u00a0true, the years that have passed since then have been enough to clarify the issue. But reality continues with the expansion of\u00a0the obscurantism.<\/p>\n
In the overwhelming diversity surrounding Choi Hong Hi’s creation, the lack of a charismatic leader, the unequivocal guidance of a single protocol, pedagogical clarity, and the necessary unity of purpose are\u00a0evident. Today, everyone is playing their own game in the name of who\u00a0put\u00a0the ball in motion, the ball they all play with. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. How many presidents of organizations with the same acronym are there? Too many. How many were there then? Just one. Which one of them can replace him? None. So why don’t they stop occupying the position he held?<\/p>\n
My dear friend, I was told that tigers were herbivores until they tasted blood, and since then, none have eaten plants again.<\/p>\n
Each administration uses promotion timelines according to its internal needs. Each entity uses protocol criteria according to its own understanding. !!!But some are led by people of Eastern origin!!!\u2026\u00a0Race\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0guarantee the correct use and destination of what has been created, except for the correct use and destination of what has been created by each of them. They use philosophical phrases and methods attributed to the Founder, even though this has nothing to do with him.<\/p>\n
Eastern leadership is\u00a0very useful\u00a0for those who need to feed their personal fantasies about that race, without this having anything to do with reality, effectiveness, knowledge, or pedagogical ability.<\/p>\n
General Choi clearly\u00a0established\u00a0that his art should not belong to any country, nor should it be associated with any religion; however, there are those who claim this kind of heritage.\u00a0\u00a0Art opens its doors only to those who honor the vision of its founder. Associations, Federations, and Confederations are merely administrative systems that are only valuable if they\u00a0comply with\u00a0the laws that govern their constitution. For this to happen, as with any system of government, the constant renewal of its authorities is necessary. When this\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0occur, it ceases to honor the administrative name it bears and becomes a mere reign. In other words, Associations, Federations or Confederations\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0inherit.<\/p>\n
When such actions occur, they are even more serious than institutional diversity.<\/p>\n
Mentioning the diversity in clothing, regulations, pedagogy, philosophy, and biomechanics would be repetitive, and\u00a0it’s\u00a0clear that nobody cares.<\/p>\n
However, despite what has been described, within the diverse institutional framework,\u00a0a biomechanical\u00a0distortion has recently increased, neglecting details that make the increase in power and effectiveness or practical utility of\u00a0movements,\u00a0a minor point. The sinusoidal wave has been replaced by\u00a0the\u00a0jagged wave. But\u2026how can that be, if doing so culminates in opposite results? Very simply, they only preach\u00a0\u201cdown, up, and down\u201d\u00a0for creating the famous wave, but they\u00a0don’t\u00a0explain how to execute it correctly.<\/p>\n
They have institutionalized the opposite: replacing relaxation by contraction when performing movements. In other words,\u00a0they’ve\u00a0replaced practical movement with an unrealistically robotic and artificial one, but and being honest, beautifully performed.<\/p>\n
Seminars have proliferated and increased exponentially. However, only the certificate and the mandatory attendance set by the organizations have something to do with what is\u00a0actually taught. The distribution of promotional items (pins, badges, ties, certificates, photographs, etc.) is overwhelming. Currently,\u00a0it’s\u00a0common to give commands for executions involving combinations of kicks and punches exclusively for sporting use, devised by who is commanding the seminar, without such combinations being of any use to the participants. These highlights, the disconnection between the techniques, their practical utility in self-defense, and what is now taught with a single purpose: purely for sporting confrontations.<\/p>\n
I would like to remind you that General Choi has never discussed or treated the sporting aspect in a seminar. He considered this a topic for a coach or trainer, not for a seminar that was meant to be exclusively focused on martial\u00a0art aspect. Anyone, regardless of rank, can\u00a0demonstrate\u00a0combinations of kicks and punches; for the other\u00a0items,\u2026one needs to know how.<\/p>\n
This clearly\u00a0demonstrates\u00a0the difference between the current diversity and the\u00a0previous\u00a0unity.<\/p>\n
