ps1 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I'm looking for someone who has heard of a form that is pronounced similar to or the same as "Kung sun gun". If you have info on it, please let me know. I appreciate your help. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."

tufrthanu Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Sounds like Kanku Dai/Kouh Shan Kouh/Kusanku/Kong San Goon. Its in almost all the karates and some of the korean arts like tsd and tkd in some form or another. Long Live the Fighters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps1 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Kong San Goon must be it. Yes, I know it's also Kwan Ku, but wasn't sure if the form I mentioned was the same. Thank you very much for your help. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I checked in my TKD encyclopedias, put together by General Choi Hong Hi, and could not find that name. Are there any other spellings that it goes by? Maybe I'll do a Wiki search and see. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tufrthanu Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Those are pretty much all the names Bushido...but you probably wouldnt find it in the Choi encyclopedia as I think that only has his Chang Hon set of forms in it. His original 1965 book, however, which I have, does list it in the back. Long Live the Fighters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps1 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Does it still translate to "Viewing the Sky?" That's what Kwanku translates to in Japanese. However, the Okinawan translations usually just relate to the person believed to have created the kata. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."

tufrthanu Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Actually I think Kusanku was the name of the guy...kind of like Won Hyo. Long Live the Fighters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps1 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Yes you are correct. But does it translate into viewing the sky in Korea. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
