Description

The Original Five Kwans of Korean Martial Arts provides a history of the 5, out of the many, major and minor - 1945 era Korean martial art Kwans that taught Tang Soo Do, Kong Soo Do and Kwon Bup and Chuan Fa styles and the internal conflicts between the Korean martial arts community and the new, independent, post Japanese occupation, Korean government that was secretly working against the martial arts community to bring a government created national style of martial arts called Taekwondo to the Olympics as the Japanese government was doing with Judo. Other chapters include each Korean Kwan's creation, history and evolution and an original set of Hyungs for each of the many Kwans. The author describes in detail the two versions of each of five Korean Kwans as they are converted from independent, self-managed Kwans to a national government controlled, centralized Taekwondo sports program for Chung Do Kwan, Song Moo Kwan, Yun Moo Kwan, Chang Moo Kwan and the Han Moo Kwan and many others. There are two tables for correlating traditional Tang Soo Do Hyungs (the predecessor to Taekwondo) to their Okinawa and Japanese Kata versions and the traditional Korean symbols used to identify the attributes the practitioner is supposed to obtain from executing each Tang Soo Do Hyung. There are also three more tables for correlating all Korean martial arts Hyungs to some Chinese and all Okinawa and Japanese Kata that existed and evolved during the 19th and 20th centuries. This book is for the serious, experienced and knowledgeable reader of Korean martial arts information or a reader that wants to become one.to grasp the importance and relevance of the information to the transformation of Tang Soo Do traditional style to Korean government's Taekwondo sports program. Includes a substantial Bibliography, Glossary and Index for the readers convenience.
