Lee Yong-bok – Taekkyon

Taekkyon is a native Korean martial art that was on the verge of extinction in the early 1900s.
Grandmaster Song Duk-ki preserved it until his death, and the Korean government considers it a Cultural Asset.
Taekkyon motions are marked by rhythmic beauty and elegance, which conceal the lethal aim of its practitioners.

Grandmaster Lee Yong-bok, chairman of the Korea Taekkyon Association, and his National Demonstration Team deliver spectacular performances of Taekkyon at its best in this DVD, which was shot on site at the ancient Korean Folk Village in Yongin.
