[edit] Young Man Park

Is also another Korean who helped pioneer Taekwndo in the Philipines. Any info would be appreciated.--Jondel 06:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Separate list

If the list gets too long, we may have to separate it.--Jondel 05:50, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Dante Pena should be included in the notable practioners. He won a bronze medal in the 1989 World Taekwondo Championships. He was the first to do so in the welterweight division. Thanks

Done. I am not strictly following or implementing any rules but the more senior or older practitioners are placed on top.--Jondel 01:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taekwondo-jins

There was a reference of `Taekwondo-jins` to practitioners in Manila before , is this still true?--Jondel 01:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non notables

I could not verify notability of the following people. Please indicate some weblink if they are indeed notable.--Jondel 07:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Sarah Cabansay
  • Oliver balderia
  • Narciso Atienza

[edit] Trimming and Clean-up

I trimmed out belts, kicks and commands because they are covered in other more general articles on Taekwando. It is unclear what the relationship is between PTA and PTF and as it stands now the article is about the PTA. I would start the first paragraph stating when Taekwondo first came to the Phillipines and then move on to the various organizations. I'll do a check on the English when that's done.Peter Rehse 05:15, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

There are a lot of different terms used for the same kicks. The main article of Taekwondo doesn't cover much on Korean commands like charyot (attention) or kyungyet (bow) etc. ---Jondel203.160.168.84 13:49, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Sure - in that case please alter that article. I think an article titled Taekwondo in the Philippines should focus on what is specific to the Philipines. With those sections in it comes across as just fill. It would be great if that first paragraph could be expanded and fixed up a bit - like I said I'll help but the information needs to get sorted out first.Peter Rehse 00:23, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok. I've added the Korean commands to the main Taekwondo article. I'll be adding terms used in the Philippines which refer to the same kicks. Kim Bok Man was part of the early development but I cant find printed references to him.Jondel 07:13, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

So you will give the Philipine names alongside the regular names?Peter Rehse 07:24, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I didn't include the ones with regular names since there is no need. I wish there were more verifiable references to Kim Bok Man. Couldn't find any. But he really helped to start Taekwond not only in the Philippines but in Malaysia, Indonesia , etc.Jondel 07:44, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

You think correctly but what I meant was where there are different names than you should have

  • regular name - Philipine name

That of course is up to you. I am still confused with the first paragraph. Is PTA and PTF the same organization. I will do a quick rewrite making a few assumptions - please correct me if I'm wrong. Also it is very important to tell when it was introduced to the PhilipinesPeter Rehse 08:09, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Heres the thing we can tell you when TKD was introduced to the Phillipines and who introduced it but there are some people who will request deletion because they do not except any facts that are produced by TKD and Korean Martial Arts Magizine (because their website is down) or the TKD hall of Fame ( because they host an awards dinner that is advertised on their website).Saboem 00:13, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
