KANG DUK WON KOREAN KARATE

About Kang Duk Won...

Kang Duk Won is a 'pre-Funakoshi' version of Karate, which makes it one of the most pure forms of Karate in the world.

It was chosen by the Imperial Bodyguards of three different nations as the martial art of choice.

It was the art from which most Korean Karates were developed, and eventually became Taekwondo.

The Martial Arts History, Form and Technique Series

From the earliest Kung Fu systems to the latest scientific methods, these five books cover techniques and forms as they evolved through history. They give an accurate look at what has been taught over hundreds of years. Comparing these arts will give one a firm idea of what works, what has been forgotten by time, and how to craft the perfect self defense system for yourself. If you don't know the origins and evolutions of the martial arts can you really say you know the martial arts?

This encyclopedia was written between 1967 and 2014. That's a lifetime in the martial arts.

Volume 1 Pan Gai Noon Kung Fu to Karate

Volume 2 Kang Duk Won Korean Karate

Volume 3 Kwon Bup American Karate

Volume 4 Outlaw Karate The One Year Black Belt

Volume 5 Buddha Crane Karate The First Matrixed Art

These are the actual forms and techniques of Karate from its origins in China to the latest breakthroughs in Matrixing. This is The Ultimate Karate Encyclopedia.
