Student Theory Pages
This section of the website currently being developed with a view to providing a very comprehensive resource for all our Students. The information contained in these pages will be split into General Information and Grade Specific Information. There will eventually be a number of pages with quizzes and interactive learning resources aimed more at the younger Student. For many learning Theory is difficult at best and for some a very daunting prospect especially when confronted with the idea of learning the Korean language. We will try to make the experience as painless as possible especially for the younger students. Remember that theory can mean the difference between a pass or fail at a grading. If your theory knowledge is lacking then you will be reliant on exceptional practical skills, however if you have very good theory then this will support your practical work. Take the time to read 20 to 30 minutes each week and you will find Taekwon-do a lot easier. Good Luck!
The Theory at present is limited to grade specific files. These files are provided as downloadable PDF files for studying off-line. Click the link at the side of the page for your current grade. You will need a suitable program to read and work with these files. Adobe reader can be downloaded free at http://www.adobe.com
Korean Pronunciation: You are not expected to be able to hold a conversation in Korean and are not expected to be able to pronounce the terms and phrases as a native Korean. You are expected unless told otherwise to read and pronounce the terms and phrases with English pronunciation. We all struggle with pronunciation initially but you will soon get used to the use of Korean Terms.
If you have any questions about theory then you should first speak to your Instructor. However if you are desperate for an answer then you may email the Webmaster@heartofengland-itf.org.uk.
