태권도와 택견의 발차기기술과 경기방식의 비교 연구

Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to contribute to complementing two Korean traditional martial arts Taekwondo and Taekkyon and establishing firm identities of the two sports by comparing and analyzing their own techniques and rules of competition. The study found some similarities and uniqueness of them and findings are below. First, Sport Taekwondo and Taekkyon share similarities in kicking techniques. Second, Taekkyon, which practiced the time when no protective equipment was worn, applies Nuejin Balgil (slow kickng technique) to indirectly hit and to give less harm. When it is attacked, it does not defend but attacks the opponents in response of it, but it also considers the opponents' safety. On the other hand, straight kick is a key technique of moden Taekwondo with protective equipment as it directly hit and strike the body. Taekkyon features no defense and active attack. Third, Taekkyon takes Pumbalgi(graceful steps) technique to load weight of the body on a leg before kicking or to practice more efficient kicking while Taekwondo uses Nongbobeop. Fourth, 'Gguena Chagi(Multiple kicks)' technique of modern Taekwondo is similar to 'Straight kick' of Taekkyon. Fifth, basically the two martial arts apply similar principles. For example, it players of Taekwondo do not wear protective equipment, the rules of competition and movement principles would adopt those of Taekkyon and vice versa.
