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 scientific 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. This is the challenge and the mission of the International Taekwondo Department as well as his positive contribution to a better society. Welcome to the HSCU !

university, programs are officially recognized in the same way and allow the students to get the same diplomas. Located in Busan, South Korea, Hwashin Cyber University is the first university to be approved through Korea's Higher Education

THE INTERNATIONAL TAEKWONDO DEPARTMENT

QUALITY CONTENTS, MODERN TOOLS

The International Taekwondo Department was initially born from the dream of two men to harmonize tradition and modernity of Korean martial arts by using the technologies of the future. But it is also the result of the hope to give access to a precise knowledge in the specific field of sport performance to athletes and trainers all around the World, whether they be athletes, great champions, modest practitioners, or instructors teaching in the dojangs of their cities. The purpose International Taekwondo Department is finally and above all to allow individuals to become better martial arts practitioners and to become better individuals, since we believe that both aspects are tightly linked together With a board of teachers including Korean as well as international teachers, highly-qualified masters, former international champions, and sport doctors, the International Taekwondo Department uses HSCUs advanced technology to create a new and totally innovative method of learning martial arts and sports. With this aim, the Institute has developed an important international network and works today in cooperation with prestigious institutes such as the World Taekwondo Academy, the European Taekwondo Union or the Kukkiwon.

ESSENTIAL TRAINING CAMPS

In order to match the cyber education with martial arts, it seemed

• bvious to us that we had to set up training camps to verify the level
• f 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.

MARTIAL ARTS PROGRAMS OF HSCU

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

• ne 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. Story of a student, Arber Bajra

My application to HSCU sounds like a success for me. I think that every Taekwondo-in in the World will long for the studies proposed by this University. Its dynamic is based on the heart of Taekwondo and courses are done by true professionals of this art, that gave me a huge desire to choose this program. This new method of learning is the first in the World of this kind in martial arts but also in sport and I believe in the success of these

• programs. Now I will focus on these studies to obtain this

diploma recognized by the World !

THE PROGRAMS

HOW TO CHOOSE? TWO DIPLOMAS OF TAEKWONDO OR AN INDIVIDUAL

COURSE SELECTION

The International Taekwondo Department proposes two diplomas in Taekwondo:

• The International Bachelors Degree in 3 or 4 years, recognized all

around the World as an official 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 specific subject without committing yourself into a complete program, you also have the possibility of choosing specific units among those that we propose. Opening the first 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. 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 Bachelors 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 certificate in our Institute, the MACSED is the perfect program for you. Finally, if you are particularly interested in one specific subject, such as dietetics, for example, you can choose a specific course by unit.
