Kwan can be translated loosely as school and there were several schools of taekwondo before the ITF, the kukkiwon and the WTF was founded. <br /><br />When you ask about philosophy behind the techniques do you really mean the applications? How they are to be used? If say the techniques in Taekwondo are pragmatic and practical in nature. The poomsae on the other hand has philosophy attached to them.

I am mostly interested in the philosophy behind techniques (and WTF TKD in general) and techniques and forms that have been lost over time. am grossly unaware of the deeper history of my martial art (its roots and inspirations; you speak of Kwan-era and I don't know what you mean) and I would like to correct that. Do you know anything?

It would help if you could narrow it down a little:-) Do you want to see how Kwan-era Taekwondo thought about things and how they applied Taekwondo in their textbooks? Do you want to see how the Kwan founders teachers applied their system? Do you want to look at how the roots of Karate viewed their system? A little bit of everything? Do you want more focus on philosophy? I have been wondering about making a blog post exclusively on study material for Taekwondo nerds :-P But if you narrow it down a little I can certainly post a list for you:-)Ørjan Nilsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506123119682274818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969550358686428094.post-74737515280638642462017-11-08T12:06:54.990+01:002017-11-08T12:06:54.990+01:00I just discovered this blog and I have been readin...I just discovered this blog and I have been reading all the articles. So much information! Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />As a second Dan myself, I have been meaning to go into some in-depth research on the (philosophical) background and application of certain techniques.
