Master Danny Daniel Lee its indication Europe Representative of the Chun Kuhn DO and functionary of the Martial Arts Association – international www.MAA I.com organized a seminar tour with Grandmaster Kim Bok Man. Grandmasters Kim Bok one described ” if you the basic movements again and again train, make you automatically that. They must train your body in addition, your spirit “. Grandmaster Kim Bok Man white where about it talks, trains for over 50 years he soldiers, teachers, kings and members of the asiatic king houses in Korean combat art. GM Kim applies among experts as a ” technical father of the Taekwondo”, since it was considerably in the development of the Taekwondo techniques at the beginning of the 1950er years involved. Due to its underrank in the Korean army its work was honored not accordingly however at that time, so that today mainly general Choi Hong rear one is brought with the emergence of the Taekwondo in connection.
Actually however GM Bok Man was mainresponsible Kim for the development and composition of the Taekwondo techniques in Chois first edition of the ” Taekwondo – Bible ” 1965. Kim is the pioneer, widens the Taekwondo it informed the Korean troops into the 50ern, was member of the 1. TKD Demoteams the ” goodwill route ” in Southeast Asia into the 60ern and spread Taekwondo afterwards particularly in Malaysia and Hong Kong. Afterwards it spread the Taekwondo in the western world. He dedicated his life to the combat art Taekwondo and for it into the ” Taekwondo Hall of Fame ” taken up! Bok Man Kim had to also regard however in the course of the years, how ” its ” original techniques were falsified by different federations and thus its vision of a complete, health-promoting Martial arts Taekwondo with all its abundance at techniques any longer did not correspond. ” the Taekwondo does not have itself much changed ” says to Bok Man Kim ” me pleases any longer, what I see.” The technology changed above all also by the olympic Taekwondo strongly, the quality in its eyes became worse. ” the sport Taekwondo has to do nothing more with my form of the Martial art.” GM Kim is not anybody on its success themselves or simply gives up.” I returned the Taekwondo again on its roots. The Martial art developed from it gave I the names to Chun Kun DO.” With its seminars in Germany that demonstrated meanwhile already 76 year old ones most different Taekwondo techniques, whereby he attached particular importance to the correct execution of basic techniques and accurate step positions. The master impressed straight despite, or because of, his high age all participants with his unbelievable dynamics speed and flexibility. Because z. T. was somewhat difficult communication over English for some, it could not be taken to GM Kim to present all techniques themselves. Also with various Self Defence and weapon techniques the Korean with very however precise combinations in line with standard usage and simple convinced, whereby with all exercises the employment of hip and foot turn on the foot bundles played a central role. With jumped z. T. combined Kicks came all duly into sweating and some again on the soil of the Taekwondo reality was in such a way fetched back! During the demonstration of the Hyongs of its Chun Kuhn DO of system we in the execution of our Hyongs confirmed, since he teaches the same technique style, like also we to his pupils as a ” technical father of the Taekwondo ” today still it practice – admittedly somewhat more dynamically due to the locked Hip Twist.
” I believe that all took part the seminar valuable experiences and stimulus to harder actually work with home take could.” So Danny Daniel Lee.
