ABOUT TUKONG MOOSUL
Tukong Moosul gets its name from the elite Tu
Kong (Special Combat) commando unit of the South Korean Army. The
originators of Tukong Moosul took the best of other martial arts
and brought the techniques together into combat-oriented,
effective training. Tukong incorporates techniques from other Korean
martial arts like Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido,
as well as Judo and Kung
Fu.
General Chang K. Oe, commander of the Tu Kong
unit, enlisted Won Ik Yi from army headquarters and several top
fighters from within the Tu Kong unit to develop the training.
Won Ik Yi was trained in Shaolin-style martial arts as a child
and incorporated many Kung Fu techniques
in the original Tukong Moosul curriculum. Others, including Tukong
Moosul Association Grandmaster In Ki Kim, one of the Tu Kong unit
masters, have added techniques in more recent years.
Tukong Moosul, like other military martial arts,
is all about taking out the enemy. Some of the Tukong Moosul organizations
specifically prohibit children from learning Tukong Moosul, instead
recommending that they study the sport-oriented Tae
Kwon Do.
