Overview

This practical guide explores the essential techniques and principles of a comprehensive Korean martial art focused on real-world self-defence. The book breaks down joint locks, throws, strikes, and defences into clear, step-by-step instructions suitable for beginners while offering depth for experienced practitioners. Readers will learn how to redirect an attacker's energy rather than oppose it directly, making the techniques effective regardless of size or strength. The training methods emphasise natural body movements that work under stress, not requiring exceptional flexibility or athleticism. The chapters progress logically from fundamental stances and movements to advanced applications against armed attackers. Detailed explanations cover proper body mechanics for generating power efficiently, along with common mistakes and how to correct them. Defensive strategies address various scenarios including grabs, punches, weapon threats, and multiple attackers. The techniques are presented with safety considerations for both training partners and practical effectiveness in actual confrontations. What sets this martial art apart is its integrated approach combining striking, grappling, and tactical awareness. The book demonstrates how techniques flow together naturally rather than existing as isolated moves. Readers will understand how a simple wrist lock can transition to a throw, or how a block can immediately become a counterattack. This adaptive quality makes the art particularly valuable for unpredictable real-life situations where rigid techniques often fail. Beyond physical skills, the book emphasizes the mental and ethical aspects of self-defense training. It explores situational awareness, conflict de-escalation, and the legal considerations of using force. Training methods develop calm decision-making under pressure along with the physical reflexes to act when necessary. The result is a balanced martial arts system that builds confidence through competence while teaching restraint and responsibility. Whether for self-protection, fitness, or personal development, this guide offers a practical path to mastering an effective and time-tested martial art.
