Description
The Korean Sword and Weapon Arts DVD is a rare look at some of Korea’s oldest documented martial arts. In this riveting DVD, the National Kyung Dang Demonstration Team, led by Grand Master Im Dong-kyu, re-enacts the sword, staff, spear and empty hand arts of ancient Korea. The weapon shapes shown here are based on those illustrated in the classic Korean martial arts manual, Muye Dobo Tongji. Practiced by the King’s special forces for over 500 years, these sword and weapon arts were adapted from ancient Japanese and Chinese martial skills developed by Korean warriors during the Yi Dynasty.
This unique DVD presentation begins with a variety of sword arts originating in Korea, Japan and China in the 1500s to 1700s. Next, Kyung Dang masters demonstrate rarely seen Korean weapons, including the spear, crescent sword and shield . You will also be treated to a performance by Kwon Bup, believed to be one of the earliest documented forms of empty-handed Korean martial arts.
