Teukong Musool is the martial arts taught to the KOrean millitary but its is also a martial arts with a federation and everyhting in the US. I know of two schools one in Texas and one in Virginia. The masters of these these school were the co-developers of the Tukong martial arts in the 70's I believe. The were the original instructors of the Teukong art in the KOrean military.

Kyuk To Ki translates into Korean Kickboxing/Streetfighting. You can use sweeps, throws, joint-locks, chokes, elbows, . I know that Turtle press alos has some videos featuring Kyuk Too kI that arent too bad. Its an intense full contact match that serious practicioners should engage in. I like it because it is so far ahead of Olympic TKD and you cna uses so any more kinds of techniques that it really prepares you for about anything.

I used to have to go to the dojang at 6 am to train with my Master and then go to school and then come home do homework and to the dojang from about 4 -9 pm. Everyday. Its recommended to go about 2-3 times a week every other dayand on the off days practice what you previously learned to make techniques habit.

We practice the Pal gwe forms along with the Tae Geuk and Ji Do Kwan traditional forms (Tang Soo Do Forms)

I dont know how much this might help but it helped me in the past for weapon speed. Master Choi told us that the best way to make your wrists quick and fingers stronger to pull the weapon is to do finger pushups. Try and see if it helps. Let me know if it does.

in Korean martial arts a wood sword is called a mokgum an imitation steel sword with dull edge is called a gagum and a sharp bladed sword is called a jingum in KOrean

I was wondering if there was nay practicing Teukong Musool martial artists on this site? thanks

HIgh kicks are not as important in Traditional TKD where the emphasis was 50/50 but now ith sport TKD and more kick scoring points its become the necessity. If you want to switch to Hapkido there isnt that much emphasis on high kicks , alot lower kicks to shins and such are emphasized.

TKD can be very effective in real life situations, but I agree strongly with previous reply where it has to be a reaction not an action because you have to make the technique habit. With the power that can be developed can easily take down with an opponent. Especially Traditional TKD schools where they concentrate on hand techniques just as well. My instructor taught us high kicks were a waste of time and dangerous and the same with areial kicks. He stressed very early in us that aerial kicks , high kicks, and flashy kicks were for demonstration purposes only to test your body to further limits. They are not designed for real life situations.

WTF do in fact have combat applications . We had special classes designated for the comabt applications for Tae Geuk, Pal Gwe, Black Belt poomsae and the traditional Ji DO kwan forms (Tang Soo Do Forms). IN the TSD and JiDo Kwan forms even have animal representations like the Crane, Horse, Cobra, Tiger, and BEar forms. Koryo for example has many applications if I had a diagram I could explain them in further detail but it is hard because every school has a different way of counting the techniques involved. Please contact me further for more details.

Absolutely not but is helpful. Kyuk Too Ki matches that we do is full contact Street Fighting which involved punched elbows, kicks throws, joint locks, submission, and basically helps the fighter learn all around aspects of fighting for street scenarios. I can speak from persoanl expereince unfortunately.Kyuk Too Ki encompasses Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Yudo, and many more styles.

Thanks for the shout out its great to see you on here lets get KMA started lol peace out

My Master always told me the best way to learn a weapon was to pick it up and train yourself. That actaully works really well, nad Master Choi has said that I have perform very accurately by apply basic fighting principles to it. The first wepon that appeals to you is the best way to go.

thanks for the welcoming remarks I appreciate it hope to talk to you guys later

Chris thanks for you reply we usually do it like twice a month and it a no cost get togehter with fellow martial arts instructors and assisstant instructors to share knowledge and train with each other. I am especailly eager to train with your Hapkido style. I wil keep you updated and if you want to discuss things AIM me whenever. thanks, Allen

I have studied Hapkido for about 10 years now and it is a great system of Martial art.I worked under a Master nad he has affiliate schools with overweigth instrucotrs but they grasp the material reallyy well and are really qualified teachers. I have had a couple of occasions where I had to defend myself using hapkido and it worked really well.If you put the time in you will get quality results.
