Gwon Gyokdo is a hybrid, Korean martial art incorporating traditional Korean martial arts techniques alongside Muay Thai boxing. Still in its infancy in Korea, the no-nonsense, down to earth martial art, that alongside its sporting aspect and ring fighting, contains 27 different self defence techniques which are designed to be practical and include defences against a staff, iron bar and a knife. However, the majority of training includes boxing-type techniques including the lunging knee and elbow strikes taken from Muay Thai, practiced with protective gear a body guard, groin guard and head guard; novices are quickly introduced to full contact sparring.
Participants who enter competitions will be expected to train without the benefit of protective gear prior to a fight in order to toughen their bodies.
