Well guys, how does it look? You like it? Special thanks to Taylor for pointing me in the right direction!
In case any of you are confused, that picture on the right is "Tae Kwon Do" written in Korean.
Btw, I replied with this article in my last post, but I'll go ahead and repost it

My post will resume my coming out story
Later
Nice new look man! Keep up the great posts man.
ReplyDelete@Robbie, new look is cool.
ReplyDeleteIn your post on Coming Out Pt 3, you said..."Hurting someone during the match feels like a sign of weakness. You're supposed to understand your strength and be able to control it. When you fail and hurt someone, you feel extremely guilty." I found this insight from Tae Kwon Do very interesting. I don't know much about the sport but, when you have more time, maybe you could share more about it.
Sure thing. Once I'm done with the coming out posts, I can do a second TKD Lesson post. What I'll probably do is make a short post asking what people want to know, then go from there
ReplyDeletei should change my blog layout too...
ReplyDeletemy blog has a depressing, gloomy look to it.
lol btw i thought thats jap writing. cuz my blonde self was like "since it doesn't have those circle character thingies then it's not korean"
@Joey. Yeah it does look really japanese. I think that's the fault of whoever wrote it. Either they intentionally wrote it to make it look more like japanese, or it was an accident. It looks more Korean the way it's written on the TKD wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tae_Kwon_Do
ReplyDeleteAs far as the picture of the tenets at the bottom, I know that it's not written in modern korean (which has the circle character thingies). It might be written in an older version of korean, maybe it's japanese, IDK. I thought this version looked cooler, so I used it instead. You can see what the tenets look like in modern korean here http://www.hucknall-tkd.co.uk/HucknallSelstonBasic/res/BasStudent/GenInfo.htm
@Guys, the characters are classical Chinese, which was used to write Korean before the development of the Hanggul alphabet (with the circles).
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese still use classical Chinese characters (they call them kanji) to write, combined with their own syllabaries.
Classical Chinese was used for writing in most east Asian countries at one time or another.
