[edit] name of article
just wondering, how did we settle on the spelling taekyon? it's not any of the proper romanization for either of the korean orthography. is this an "official" spelling? it would seem to be hardly an established english spelling that justifies variance from rr, imho. Appleby 22:30, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Actually taekkyon written with only one k is something you never see. So why the main article about taekkyon is located here is a bit of a mistery. --Kbarends 07:12, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
do you have any suggestions on which of the various romanizations this should be moved to? from quick google:
- 1,760 for taekgyeon
- 41,700 for taekkyon
- 969 for taekkyeon
i generally lean towards revised romanization for consistency with korean naming policy, unless there is an established english spelling, like kimchi or taekwondo, but apparently there's orthographic confusion even in hangul. Appleby 20:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Robert Young used the term 'Tae Kyon' in his, quite extensive, article about the history of taekgyeon in the journal of asian martial arts (1993 issue). It is [available here]. I don't care what kind of romanization system is used, as long as it is used consistently.
Since there are two different spellings in Korean as well, 태껸 and 택견 we would first have to decide which one we romanize when we talk about taekgyeon. (as you can see I have a slight preference for taekgyeon ;-). --Kbarends 05:43, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Taekyon Has Kicks?!?!?!
Ok, it says in the article that '...subak was divided into different segments, including yusul (a grappling art), kicking, and so forth, with Taekkyon being one such segment....'. But then why does Taekyon have kicks?100110100 05:22, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Subak consisted of kicking and grappling techniques. It is believed that around the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty the art divided in a seperate grappling part named yusul and a kicking part named taekkyeon. Kbarends 07:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
