Tukong Moosul
Tukong Moosul,
The art is now gaining popularity in the U.S. in various forms. The brainchild of General Chang K Oe, it is the distillation of knowledge gained from former special forces training programmes of martial arts and an elite six martial arts masters from army headquarters who were Master In Ki Kim, Master Sung Pok Choi, Master Yong Kwi Han, Master Sung Ho Lee, Master Jin Kwon Kim and also Master Chil Hyun Tak.
One notable and simple special training theory in the art is known as distance theory separating four different categories of distance in combat where different techniques would be employed. The first, close range or extreme close range, is throwing; the next is punching; the next kicking and the furthest would be weapons. So typically on extreme close quarters the first method of entry attack would be a throw, at closer quarters the entry attack may start with a punch, at mid-range close quarters a kick and finally if there is some distance between the opponent and the practitioner, the first method of attack should start with a weapon.
Now clearly a military art it draws influence from the martial arts as taught at Daeyeon Sa Temple, a Buddhist temple known for its excellent martial programme established in 1200 CE.
Uniquely for a special forces training programme Tukong Moosul is heavily influenced by Chinese Tai Chi and in particular, the soft, internal elements of Qigong, known in Korean as Ki Kong.
There basic elements taught in modern Tukong, are basic physical conditioning, advanced physical conditioning (including acupressure and acupuncture), body movements, forms and footwork, traditional weapons and modern weapons.
