WELCOME TO THE HWASHIN CYBER UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL TAEKWONDO DEPARTMENT!!

Movie industry and widely media-covered combat sports events have spread the image of Asian martial arts culture on the international scene.! Olympic combat sports such as Judo and Taekwondo are drawing millions of practitioners from all over the World to the ancestral warrior traditions of Asia." Since performance has become the major goal, the scientic approach has overwhelmed the traditional empirical experience and today, the main focus is on mastering all aspects of performance.! In response, we have created the International Taekwondo Department, starting an innovative program easily accessible through the Internet.! Fundamental knowledge of physiology, biomechanics, dietetics coming together with pure technical and tactical contents allow for a precise, as well as global, understanding of the art of Taekwondo. ! More than a simple sport, martial arts in general and especially Taekwondo are also the expression of a culture, a system of excellent values which can be internalized to create an enhanced sense of self.!

MARTIAL ARTS PROGRAMS OF HSCU!

ESSENTIAL TRAINING CAMPS!
In order to match the cyber education with martial arts, it seemed obvious to us that we had to set up training camps to verify the level of the practitioners and to check if they learnt the on-line contents correctly during the year. ! That is the reason why, in parallel with its cyber platform on Internet, the International Taekwondo Department has also developed a platform to welcome students on site in South Korea for training camps. They are set up during two or three weeks at the end of the year and taught by the teachers of the Institute. ! If we have enough students from the same country, we can also send one of our experts to do the training camp on site. !

THE PROGRAMS!

PROGRAMS

TWO DIPLOMAS OF TAEKWONDO OR AN INDIVIDUAL COURSE SELECTION!

The International Taekwondo Department proposes two diplomas in Taekwondo:! $The International Bachelor"s Degree in 3 or 4 years, recognized all around the World as an ofcial undergraduate university diploma (license in Europe).! $The Martial Arts & Combat Sports Excellency Diploma (MACSED) in 1 year, that includes contents exclusively about martial arts and combat sports, mainly focused on performance. ! If you are interested in a specic subject without committing yourself into a complete program, you also have the possibility of choosing specic units among those that we propose. ! Opening the rst programs in Taekwondo, we hope to make quality contents widely available, but the International Taekwondo Department also hopes to use its special position in South Korea to develop other programs over the next few years, particularly Hapkido, starting in 2014.!

PROGRAMS

EXAMPLE OF ONE YEAR OF STUDIES!

One year of studies is generally as follows:! From March to June, the student follows his courses on Internet and passes his exams (normally two weeks each semester, one in April and one in June). ! July and August are summer holiday period or training camp period for students who wish to take it in summer .! The second semester is from September to December. The winter training period is from December to February. After the camp, the results are sent to the student, so he will know if he has passed or graduated. !

HOW TO CHOOSE?!
It depends on your objectives, your availability, your current education level and your commitment in your martial art. ! If you want to build or improve your career around Taekwondo and Korea, the Bachelor"s degree will allow you to learn the Korean language and culture as well as contents on numerous Taekwondo contents. It creates more possibilities for your future and an international recognition as a graduate by other universities in the World. ! If you want to gain a new knowledge on martial arts and combat sports and obtain a certicate in our Institute, the MACSED is the perfect program for you.! Finally, if you are particularly interested in one specic subject, such as dietetics, for example, you can choose a specic course by unit. !
