tkd2000 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I was wondering if anyone knew what Taekkyon is, because I was thinking about learning it? If anyone knows any video clips of Taekkyon that would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkd2000 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 I did some more research and found out that it is still taught, but it is not as in large quantities as some of the other martial arts. They say that they had nothing to do with Taekwondo and that much of the art was lost. The point of the Taekkyon is to get your opponent off balance. They do not agree with the use of padding like in taekwondo, because it does not give a realistic feel..at least thats what I've read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmclain Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 The following are some photos of TaeKyon.http://www.kimsookarate.com/gallery-old-days/song-duk-ki.htmlTaekyon was mostly lost during the Japanese occupation on Korea (1910-1945). There has been a recent interest in Taekyon in Korea. I believe this is a copy of that BB Mag. article you wrote about. It is from the author's web page:http://www.kimsookarate.com/articles/history2.htmlR. McLain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
