Gwon-gyokdo (more commonly known as Kun Gek Do) is a Korean hybrid of Martial Art and Sport. The National Kun Gek Do headquarters is located in Pusan, Korea. The system was founded by Jung Do-Mo.
The system is a hybrid combination of the traditional Korean styles and the strange-but-effective sport of Muay Thai that originated in Thailand.
The name Kun Gek Do: "Kun" is really pronounced "gwun" and means fist or punch. "Gek" should be pronounced "gyuk" and is part of the work "gong gyuk," meaning attack. And "do", of course, means the art or way. There you have it: kun gek do, the art of attacking and punching.
