The origins of Kungkado
One
of the origins of KUNGKADO is Tang-soo-do, a traditional Korean martial art. Tangsudo means “the way
of Chinese hands” or “the way of the Hand of China.” It concentrated
on the discipline and the practice of forms and the orders of self-defense. Master Hwang Ki, the founder of this art, says
that Tangsudo also derived form Subak (an older Korean martial art). Japanese karate and Chinese martial art has influenced
Tangsudo.
Another origin of KUNGKADO is the Chinese martial
art namely Kung fu, Wushu and Tai Chi. Kung fu or gongfu is a western term used to describe Chinese martial arts.
Chinese Martial Arts always emphasize a basic skill, such as strength training, staff sparring, fencing, and eight methods
of Shaolin. All of these methods are very effective to be an expert in Chinese Martial Arts. According to some Chinese experts,
the martial arts of China
are the ancestor of all types of martial arts practiced in Japan, Korea, and Tibet.
Many different techniques derived from the arts of China.
Its art have been very influential on Martial arts practiced across the globe. The term Kung fu was not popular until the
20th century. It was first reported by the French Jesuit missionary Jean Joseph Marie Amiot in the 18th
century, until it became popular in the late 1960s because of Bruce Lee. On the other hand, Tai chi is a soft-style Chinese
martial art. The teachings are intended to help people become harmonized with them and find an internal balance.
