About This Item
Tradition states that about 2000 years ago a Buddhist monk, named Bhodhidharma, journeyed across the Himalaya Mountains to the Hunan province of China to teach the monks who lived there. He found that their physical condition was poor and that they often fell victim to bandits. Bhodhidharma developed 18 techniques to be used as self-defense, which relied only on the hands and feet as weapons. Over time the monks gained renown as fighters as well as spiritual leaders.
Time passed and additional techniques were added and refined. Unarmed and armed martial arts were practiced all over the Orient; however, China is recognized as the birthplace of martial arts.
The forms you are about to see are the traditional Hyung of Tang Soo Do. These are techniques that proved effective in combat not in someone's imagination. One must be cautioned not to add or delete movements or invent forms. Only a person who has engaged in unarmed mortal combat many times in his life and has successfully defended himself is qualified to develop forms.
The forms are performed by Grand Master Chun Sik Kim, president and founder of the International Tang Soo Do Federation, with the exception of Sip Soo, which is performed by Master Joe Goss, Vice President of the International Tang Soo Do Federation.
Grand Master Kim is known for his dynamic technique as well as his knowledge of Tang Soo Do. 40 min.
