Have you heard of this Form?

[ps1]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[tufrthanu]

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.

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.

[tufrthanu]

Actually I think Kusanku was the name of the guy...kind of like Won Hyo.

[ps1]

Yes you are correct.

But does it translate into viewing the sky in Korea.

[tufrthanu]

Hmm that I don't know.

[ps1]

Ok. You've been very helpful. I am very appreciative.
