Sun Hang Do is a modern martial art created by Grandmaster Jin W. Kang. Kang founded Sun Hang Do claiming to combine what he believes are the best techniques from all other martial arts he is aware of. It is also claimed to be a combination of hard and soft techniques. Students are taught movements in four different ranges. They are: punching (hand techniques), kicking (foot techniques), grabs and throws (leverage techniques) and weapons (body extension techniques). The ultimate goal of Sun Hang Do is to have the mind and body functioning in harmony.
