What is GK?
GK is a martial arts designed for getting the better of enemies with the most effective attacking and defending methods.

Mankind has systemized the techniques and skills in the form of martial arts and combative fighting to get the better of the enemy in many major and minor battles since the history began. Weaponry including spears and swords were developed for martial purpose until relatively modern weapons such as guns or artillery were invented. Martial arts that use only fists.

Were developed in its own way in preparation for a situation where no weapon is available.
Martial arts also changed in response to the changing requirement of times as the society started to change gradually over time. Unlike weapons like swords or spears in the past, scientific and modern weapons have become universalized, and the combative fighting among ordinary people became prohibited in peaceful society. As a result, the fatal martial arts that may determine the life and death have become something that is not relevant to ordinary people any more.
Under those circumstances, the trend of martial arts circles were divided into two major directions. One is the direction that pursue the social physical education and sports in which all men and women without regard to age can participate. The other is the direction that keeps the intrinsic strength of martial art intact no matter how classical it may look.
Gongkwonyusool is the real warfare martial art that accepts the advantages of both directions in order to fit it into the realistic situation of modern people.
Gongkwonyusool comprehensively allows even the techniques whose use is limited or whose transfer is prohibited for its greatest threat perceived by the existing martial art circles. It is a martial art that enables a person to get the better of the other person with great effectiveness and efficiency in the quickest manner by weaponizing all parts of body and using them without any limit in a situation where no weapon is available. It has been studied very heavily to embrace the dilemmatic advantages of safety and practicality for the training. Also, it has been pursuing the harmony between the striking technique and fighting method which are basically employed by martial arts and combative fighting.
What is the most important in Gongkwonyusool is to use the striking technique and fighting skill in the most reasonable and harmonious way without adhering to forms or fixed concept in order to completely get the better of the other person physically.

The spirit of GK!
Gongkwonyusool takes the consideration of the other person as the top priority in training all the time because its techniques are considerably and really war-oriented and fatal.
Specifically, its various and powerful fighting techniques, like causing the rupture of joints or ligament of the other person or intercepting the supply of oxygen to carotid, cannot be learned properly in true sense without deep consideration of the other person. The spiritual unity between the other person and I is the most important thing because the smallest mistake may lead to a very serious safety accident.
As Gongkwonyusool put emphasis on the inheritance of true spirit of martial art , the concept of 'full point' is considered important in using the striking or fighting technique. This reflects the recognition of the effectiveness that can be fatal to the other person, but has totally distinctive characteristics from the offensive techniques of other sports to get the score in specially limited situation.
Moreover, getting the better of the other person is not merely about simply using external force through indiscriminate offence, but also accomplishing the real triumph based on the internal power that suits those who really pursue the spirit of martial arts.

What Is Gongkwon Yusul?
Gongkwon Yusul is a comprehensive Korean martial art system developed by Master Kang Jun. Commencing his martial arts training from a very young age, Gongkwon Yusul is the product of decades of research of many martial arts with the goal of creating a system that is dedicated to practical fighting skills. Gongkwon Yusul encompasses skills at all ranges, including punching, kicking, elbows, knees, throwing, takedowns and ground striking and grappling: all of which are intended to be applied in practical, free-flowing situations.
In 1996 Master Kang opened the first gym teaching this new system, now recognised internationally as "Gongkwon Yusul".

Since opening that first Gym in Seoul, the reputation of Master Kang and the effectiveness of his system spread rapidly. By 2007 Master Kang was presiding over an association with approximately 50 affiliated clubs throughout South Korea.
Both inside and outside of Korea, Gongkwon Yusul has become widely known due to exposure on its own highly popular Korean language website and also internationally through websites such as YouTube.
A distinct aspect of Gongkwon Yusul is that it combines the effective, practical technique application, often seen in sport focused "mixed martial arts", whilst at the same time, it retains all the important attributes of traditional martial arts, such as respect for others, personal development and combative orientated (non-sporting) application of techniques.
One feature of Gongkwon Yusul, and what has seemed to have captured so much international attention, is in its approach to contact sparring where takedown and groundwork techniques are truly integrated with stand-up fighting skills.
Gongkwon Yusul effectively acts as a bridge to fill the gap between archaic traditional arts and modern mixed martial art styles. It is an art that combines the best of old and new methods of training, skills and techniques and was the first martial art in history to be launched via the Internet. Gongkwon Yusul is a Martial Art for the 21st Century.

Gong Kwon Yu Sul is quite independent of the other well-known Korean martial arts such as Taekwondo, Hapkido, Kyuktoogi and Teukgongmoosul. It is a martial art in its own right.
