Korean martial arts have a distinctive identity of their own, with an emphasis on technique, speed, discipline, and development. This group provides space for traditional and modern disciplines that originated in Korea and are practiced worldwide.
Technique with a Distinctive Character
Kicking techniques, distance, rhythm, and precise movement play an important role in many Korean disciplines. At the same time, training practices vary by style, school, and purpose: from self-defense and physical development to demonstrations and competition.
Tradition and Modern Sport
Korean martial arts connect cultural tradition with contemporary sport. Rules, governing bodies, trainers, and international competitions have given some disciplines a clear competitive structure, while other forms preserve more of their own training culture.
