JWLuiza Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 So you don't beleive in intellectual property? Hwang Kee and his federation cant' controll the spread of Hwa Sun and Chil Sun....? So we should go get the ATA TKD forms and I can do them AND call my school ATA TKD?JohnI wouldn't recommend this course of action!! The ATA forms are copyrighted, and you would be in some serious trouble for that! They basically run under a franchise, so you would want to be careful there.Hmmm... thanks for proving my point.

bushido_man96 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 However, if Hwang Kee never copyrighted his material, then I don't know if it can be copyrighted now.I see the same thing with the International Taekwondo Federation form set, the Chang 'on forms. They were never copyrighted, to my knowledge, and anybody who decides to break away and form their own association, ends up using these forms. I have seen them many times, in many books, all with a little variation here and there. The association that I am with currently uses this form system. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are schools out there that perform the Yuk Ro, Hwa Sun, etc. I wonder if forms should be able to have copyright. I understand trademarking Moo Duk Kwan, because that is the name of the institution not the art.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosgate Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 So you don't beleive in intellectual property?Sure I do. Problem is, My instructors (to my knowledge) and I have never signed releases forbidding that we teach what we've learned to others outside of the MDK or our organization. TANG SOO!

A play or a book is the same way. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandman Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 ill have to remember what association......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandman Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 actually, my master has broken away.....sorta..... because he has very little relations with the federation he is in. He is only third dan because he did his forms one way and grandmaster(i think) ahpo wanted him to do it his way. he was a cho dan then ahpo stripped him of his rank and made him into an orange belt. he reworked his way up to third dan.

I don't get much into the TSD circles, although I do like to hear about them. I will have to do some more searching, I think. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
