Encyclopedia > Choi Kwang Do

Choi Kwang-Do is a martial art created by Grandmaster Kwang Jo Choi. Grandmaster Choi was a chief instructor for the International Taekwondo Federation in the 1960s. After receiving medical treatment for damage caused by the Taekwondo training methods Grandmaster Choi formulated a style of martial arts based on bio-mechanic principles.


Choi Kwang-Do breaks with classic techniques in that all movements follow the body's natural movement pattern, performed as one sequential movement. Thus power is increased and risk of injury is reduced. Martial arts competitions are viewed as counter productive to health and self_defense. Training is geared towards practical responses with maximum power in realistic situations.
