Subak Museum
Subak () is an ancient martial art that originated in Korea and uses bare-hand techniques. The term was also used in Korea to refer to any fighting style that used bare hands. It is a different fighting style from Soo Bahk Do, which is a modern martial art with the same pronunciation. (The apparent difference in spelling is merely due to how they are transliterated into English. Both are written the same way in Korean, 수박 for Su Bak and 수박도 for Soo Bahk Do.) In Korea, each region had its own style of Subak; today, only two remain. One is taught purely as Subak, from the lineage of Song Chang Ryul (宋昌烈) (1932–2017). The other has been absorbed into modern Taekkyeon by Master Shin Han Seung. When he tried to resurrect Taekkyeon after the Korean War, he sought instruction from Taekkyeon master Song Dok Ki, and Subak master Il Dong. Shin then combined Taekkyeon and Subak. Subak misconceptions A common misunderstanding is that Subak only involves slaps with the p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Martial Art
Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practiced for a number of reasons such as self-defence; military and law enforcement applications; competition; physical, mental, and spiritual development; entertainment; and the preservation of a nation's intangible cultural heritage. The concept of martial arts was originally associated with East Asian tradition, but subsequently the term has been applied to practices that originated outside that region. Etymology "Martial arts" is a direct English translation of the Sino-Japanese word (, ). Literally, it refers to "武 martial" and "芸 arts". The term ''martial arts'' was popularized by mainstream popular culture during the 1960s to 1970s, notably by Hong Kong martial arts films (most famously those of Bruce Lee) during the so-called " chopsocky" wave of the early 1970s. According to John Clements, the term ''martial arts'' itself is derived from an older Latin term meaning "arts of Mars", the Roman god of w ...

Gwonbeop
''Gwonbeop'' () is a system of unarmed methods in Korean martial arts which was developed during the Joseon era (15th to 19th centuries). It is the Korean language, Korean rendition of the Chinese ''quan fa'' (拳法). Early history Destruction of the Korean palace and its libraries in 1126 and the 1231 Mongol invasions of Korea, Mongol invasion and domination of Korea (Yuan dynasty, 1231–1356) eliminated Korea's prior literary history, and no first-hand accounts of the origins of ''gwonbeop'' are extant. In 1145, King Injong (r. 1112–1146) ordered Confucian scholar Kim Bu-sik to compile the ''Samguk Sagi'' (''History of the Three Kingdoms''). About a century later a Buddhist monk, Iryeon, compiled the ''Samguk Yusa'' (''Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms''). According to both works, militancy between and among the three major states during the Three Kingdoms of Korea, Three Kingdoms period (37 BC–660 AD) resulted in each state developing an institution for training warri ...

Jujutsu
Jujutsu ( , or ), also known as jiu-jitsu and ju-jitsu (both ), is a Japanese martial art and a system of close combat that can be used in a defensive or offensive manner to kill or subdue one or more weaponless or armed and armored opponents. A subset of techniques from certain styles of jujutsu were used to develop many modern martial arts and combat sports, such as judo, aikido, sambo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, ARB, and mixed martial arts. Characteristics " Jū" can be translated as "gentle, soft, supple, flexible, pliable, or yielding", and " jutsu" can be translated as "art or technique". "Jujutsu" thus has the meaning of "yielding-art", as its core philosophy is to manipulate the opponent's force against themself rather than confronting it with one's own force. Jujutsu developed to combat the samurai of feudal Japan as a method for defeating an armed and armored opponent in which one uses no form of weapon, or only a short weapon. Because striking against an armored ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
