A modern Korean martial art with traditional roots
Established in 1996, Gongkwon Yusul is a comprehensive, modern Korean martial art. “Gongkwon” means “empty fist”, and “Yusul” expresses the idea of non-striking skills such as throwing, joint locking, and choking techniques. Together, the name conveys the idea of opposite but complementary skills that combine to form a complete system.
Michigan Gongkwon Yusul is currently taught at Walker’s Taekwondo in Portage, MI. Classes run from 7pm to 8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
