TUKONG HISTORY:
Tukong Moosul is a traditional style of martial art. Grandmaster Wonik Yi holds a 9th-degree black belt and is the creator of Tukong Moosul and founder of the World Tukong Moosul Federation.
Tukong Moosul is both a very new style and one whose history can be directly traced back over 1200 years. Grandmaster Wonik Yi grew up in the Dae Yeon Sa (Great Achievement Temple) from age 5 until 19. During those 14 years, he was taught Buddhism, Philosophy, and a powerful martial art form that had no specific name.
In South Korea, military service is compulsory - so at age 19, Grandmaster left the temple to complete his civic duty. During his time there, he had the opportunity to showcase his powerful and effective martial arts and was eventually asked to develop a training system for the Special Forces under the command of General Chang Ki Oh. Taking the name of his unit, Tukong Moosul was born.
In 1982 Grandmaster Yi moved to Austin, Texas, and began teaching his blend of what he learned in the temple, and the training system he devised for the Special Forces.

when will you play chess in 30 days
Nah thought you were gonna fight someone or something at least. Not convinced of the power of this so called martial art
I'm doing martial arts since I am in college too
I’m currently training Taekwondo as an after school club. And I’m like: I’m definitely Training Martial arts for the REST of my life. I’m never going to Give up. I know Karate Taekwondo and Boxing. “If you use Self Defense in a Physical way you are wrong because Senseis don’t teach Students that start Fights.” Martial arts is the best activity you can do. For me at least. ❤️ Stay Safe.
What i find very interesting is none of the masters shown on this video are any of Master Yi's orginal students, wonder what became of them? I met Master Yi in 1982 and started training with him in the park before he had his first school - i was his 8th American student trained with him from 82 to 86 when i moved back to San Antonio ( family emergency) left as a red belt. Soon met a man who introduced me to European martial arts train with him for 30 yrs before he died. He awarded me a Professors rank in 2013. Is Master Yi still living in Austin or did he move back to Korea ( it was his plan to return to Korea when i knew him. (I dont use my real last name on my You Tube account.) But he should know who was his orginal 8th American student.
'' A black belt is just a white belt who never quit '' - love that quote as always you keep surprising us. You even skipped a belt! thanks for take the tame an record your challenges you inspire all of us ❤ good luck un your upcomming belt test!!
And it is most important to keep an open mind as one will never stop learning as long as their mind is open.
@@rondodson5736 Agreed.
And that’s the same lesson and things my master told me, I’m actually training in Tae Kwon Do, We’re also training in Hapkido, Wing Chun, Thai Boxing, and also Weapons like swords, bo staffs, nunchucks, etc. I’m getting ready for my black belt test, It took me alot of hard work, motivation and confidence to ever help me learn much more from martial arts rather than just about punching, blocking or kicking. But helps me learn that martial arts is the way of life to keep a person healthy, mentally strong and learn to treat people properly and learning respect. Good Luck to anyone who wants to learn martial arts and also those who still do martial arts keep it up, Have a good day.
@@michaelalmanza117 hope your black belt test goes well, and I agree martial is much more than just punching. I'm glad it taught you a lot of lessons, thank you for sharing It makes me wanna try it. Have a good day
@@michaelalmanza117 From one Taekwondo martial arts to another, I wish you all the best on your blackbelt test Michael. I hope you become an eventual grandmaster of Taekwondo as well.
Gaining one belt in 30 days, that is really impressive. It took me nearly six month to go up my first level when I started. IN my defence, I was seven.
but she had 1 year of taekwondo before and you need atleast 6 months in taekwondo to change belt, if not you can't go to the exam
@@pinhomaster8261 - That's not set in stone. It's very much the instructor's discretion.
@@guarddog318 atleast where I train, which is associated with other dojangs because they all belong to the same association, we had thoose grading rules
@@pinhomaster8261 - I've trained at schools where you could earn your 1st Dan in a year... and others where it wouldn't come in anything less than 5 years. So to me, Kize's promotion doesn't seem too far-fetched. ... especially since she has prior martial arts experience.
i am 13 yo and i got yellow belt in karate in 1-2 months
In recent years, my passion for martial arts slowly died down, especially towards Karate, the martial art I currently practice. But after watching your video, my love for martial art is starting to spark again. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. You're truly an inspiration for all of us!
Mr. Osman; If you collect from martial art just the heathy benefits of being in action and the cultural aspects your Karate will always 'work' , got it? A personal tip: If you tried Yang Tai chi, you'll see that your Karate moves will improve considerably! Oss!
I do karate I wanna learn muai Thai and jiujitsu
@@thunderkatz4219 Coming from a Karate background as well, I couldn't believe how much fun they were when I changed styles. It's just like playing a video game. BJJ is harder, but just as much fun once you get the hang of it ^_^
why has your passion slowed down?
mcdojos killed martial arts
Congratulations on a double promotion! That’s a very rare thing to happen. I love this kinda content because I’ve been studying in the martial arts for over 15 years; it’s nice to see you embrace the art of Tukong. Keep up the great work!
I studied for 27 years and then was medically retired after having a total knee replacement. I still miss being active.
@@rondodson5736 there's people with no legs competing in jiujitsu, never quit, adapt
I did it with Arnis which like Tukong is a multiple faceted martial art with weapons/grappling/striking etc, I hate doing circuit training so was training everyday to stay fit. I now to FMA and BJJ so have slowed down with promotions but still love the ride.
This is one of the most inspiring videos I've seen. Not just for martial arts, but for much more. Very glad you continue training months later. Love your videos. This is my favorite.
Where do I sign a petition to get you your own show? This was so good and really inspired me to keep learning and trying new things. Can't wait till the next one Kize
ye
She has her own show already? Fuck regular tv, her channel would never be the same on tv!
Signed
Right!
Eu estou a rtenar agoro teu vidio
This was SO GOOD! I got goose bumps at the end! This one seemed 10x harder than any other challenge you've gone through so far, and not only that but you had to present to a panel of judges too 😅 Well done, and I'm glad to hear you're sticking with it!
As a fellow martial artist, knowing the time and effort and attention to detail I can say very very well done! I appreciate the Black Belts time they put in as well. You can tell they are very proud of their style and are willing to take the time to teach it correctly. Great job and the video and the double promotion!
This is the first of your videos I've come across. I've trained for a long time in many different martial arts, Chinese kung fu, taekwondo, Shotokan and have been around martial arts for most of my adult life. I am taking the time to comment because I was so impressed with your dedication and discipline and level of skill after only 30 days. Fabulous job young lady! I was most pleased to see the end of the video that you stuck with it. As your instructors told you this is a lifelong journey.(I have also never heard of this particular system or school but you seem to have lucked out by getting involved with what seems an excellent system and organization). I am really looking forward to your black belt video.(and it's not often I subscribe after only watching One video but you earned it!)
Not trying to be rude why did you spend your time on martial arts which aren't practical IRL you could have learned Muay Thai or Boxing or BJJ or Judo or Wrestling or Krav Maga or Letwei which are much more practical IRL.
@@alfred4407 because when I began it was 1979 and none of those other things were available (other than boxing). And my comment was meant in a purely positive waiy. Why did you ask me such a question? The way you phrased it says a lot more about you than it does about me. And in all those years I have trained with other practitioners from a great variety of martial arts. (And where did I say that's all I trained in?) I was around when Bruce Lee first popularized the radical idea of cross training. And I have been able to adapt everything I learned to become a very "practical" martial artist. IRL. And if you watch the video the young lady was training in a very traditional karate style from what I saw. I commented because I saw an impressive young lady do something that most people never will.
Hey mark would you like to take me on in a fight as we both wear a nylon windbreaker jacket this week
This video is really underrated considering you've clearly put so much work and effort into it. Great going Kize!
I teared up when she did basic form 2 , so graceful. Beautifully done.
This is absolutely amazing As your subscriber I feel super proud of you You literally motivated and inspired me to get up and try out all those things I've wished to do but never had the determination you're the best kize😘
Just found this and am really glad I did. I've studied a couple of different styles and I feel a key ingredient to a good martial art is working on the spirit as much as the punch. The physical is way to get your mind both free and focussed. Also the positive support from the upper belts was on full display and truly inspiring to see. Thank you again for taking this adventure and sharing it with the world.
This video is extremely well done and the amount of effort put not only in the content itself but the editing as well is incredible. I really enjoyed watching this and hope to see more videos like this come from you in the future. :)
This is the first of your videos I have seen and it is so incredibly impressive: your attitude, your existing and improved-upon skills, the supportive environment of Tukong. I really enjoyed this. I feel like a lot of youtubers do superficial "I tried X for 30 days" videos but it's obvious how much dedication and respect you went into this with. Really inspiring.
this video truly touched me, your persistence and dedication was truly inspiring. the way you absorbed all the training was remarkable. so proud & want to get into martial arts even more now after watching this !!! i liked how you were serious, but always had a good/fun time! hope you are doing well! mad respect ☯👏🏼
Hey thanks for this! First episode I've seen from your channel. I became a black belt in Taekwondo when I was about 12 or 13 but had to quit not too long after because of family situations. I'm strongly considering starting at the local Jiujitsu school, and your video has got me pumped!
Hi from a female Tang Soo Do Student! 👋🏻 ( It’s also known as Korean Karate & father to TKD 🥋) This brings back memories of my first white belt test 3 years ago! I’m currently a red belt 2 stripes/1st Gup & preparing for my black belt in the next 1-3 years, depending on how many pre tests it takes for me to be ready for my black belt test. It’s a long journey, but so worth it! Tang Soo Do is my sanity 3 days a week! Like you found and amazing bunch of people, I’ve found my crew of supportive, kind, and people that PUSH you when it gets hard because THEY HAVE BEEN THERE AND GET IT! Keep going girl! It’s a journey that will give you more than you could ever imagine! ❤️ Bowing in respect to another female warrior! 🥋❤️
Birds of a feather...🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Bth. What she does there is shit form and 0 powa behind it. I have never seen such a bad form what else to excpect from crapmaricans. Also i didnt finish my blackbelt but know anything till the 3th dan. Idk i see to many mistakes.
Fellow Tang Soo Do Student! Got my white belt a month after I started. I wanted to get my yellow belt after two months but failed the evaluation. I was so angry, fustrated and disappointed. But I scheduled almost every single day to work out at home while 2 days in practice. Im going to take another test this Saturday. Wish me luck! I will say that though I really want my Yellow belt, I’m still proud of my White Belt. Will never regret how much this beginning stage pushed me into becoming the greatest thing ever. A fighter, a leader, a badass b*tch , but more importantly a life long student. God Bless! Tang Soo Do✊🏾
True
This was so inspiring! Thank you for uploading and sharing your experience Kize! Keep being amazing!!!
I found your channel today, it was such a blessing, i went through all your videos, you're so talented! I too have a lot of hobbies, but i just gave up uploading and trying, it was so hard but your videos motivated me so much today. Thank you so much
Wow. This was so well done. Your skill as mentioned seems way more advanced and is attributed to your previous TKD training I’m guessing. You sincerely seem like a natural and I really hope you continue the journey.
...fun to watch. It helped me get a little better idea of what Tukong Moosul is all about. I live in Seoul and one of my students practices TM so this intro. will help I think to help me talk to him about his art (in English). Personally, I prefer the southern Chinese and Okinawan versions of the martial arts...but the most important thing is probably that you enjoy whatever it is that you do. Nice to see too that your school has so many instructors and students...here in Korea, because of the "virus" many smaller schools are really struggling.
Right on, great job, you deserve it and may your training take you all the way!
Amazing job! You are such an awesome inspiration!! Congratulations on the test, and the double promotion! That's fantastic! 👍 👍 I can't wait to see how far you go!
You’re amazing!!!!!!!!! I LOVE how you are keeping with Tukong and advancing! Can’t wait to see how far you go!
love u steph🥰
@@KizeBae what belt are you now? awesome video btw haha i wanna learn this now, i’m already in texas so 😱
Having studied Taekwon-do I was really proud of this young lady. She brought back memories I still cherish now. All the best!ko mop sum nee di!
The production and content on this is legit, love the series!
You inspired me today! Thank you so much❤️ I am going to work on my hobbies are well and stay dedicated like you. Thank you again Kize I'm your fan now 😊
Well as a huge martial arts lover, this video caught my attention and i was looking forward to it. You did not disappoint at all. Very impressed, you can be so proud of yourself. However since you like martial arts and challenges, i was wondering...if you would do more challenges like this, but in different styles. Def a thumbs up, and sub from me, Greetings from The Netherlands, keep up the good work !
Hi Kize! I'm a Karate Blue Belt and i can say that with your Tukong experience you also have learned even parts of other martial arts aswell, of course Tukong shares similarities with Taekwondo etc, i find interesting that Tukong and Karate have similar punches like the way you put your other hand next your waist, and many kicks are similar also with some blocks, the weapons in Tukong are also similar to Kobudo like the Nunchuks and the staff or the Bo in Kobudo
Most _"traditional"_ Korean martial arts have their origins in the Japanese occupation. *Tang Soo Do* for example is essentially Shotokan Karate with Korea's spectacular kicks added. The Nippon overlords forbade the practice of actual historical Korean styles and many died out, sadly. Tukong Moosul only came into being in 1945 just after the occupation ended. There's some KZhead videos on *Taekkyeon* which is a much older art.
@@amk8411 Several Taekkyon masters had survived, and after WW2, 5 Kwan were created, 3 from Taekkyon, 1 from Shotokan, 1 from Wushu. Then they've been absorbed into the Taekwondo World Federation, but it's roots are old and it survived somehow...
nobody cares
@@gamerbeast3616 says your mom when you get an A
@@gamerbeast3616😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Okay.
this was such a cool and inspiring video to watch! I loved it! Congratulations on your promotion and i can't wait to see more videos from you!!!
congrats on 100k subscribers, Kize!!! I'm not a super early subscriber but seeing you grow from low tens of thousands to 100k and beyond is pretty cool! Keep at it!
I started taekwondo last Wednesday and couldn’t believe how happy I was when I did that first class. I’m anxious and scared of my future but I know God got my back. Watching you just hyped me up for my next class. Amazing video 🔥🔥
🎉
Congratulations
I just started karate !
@@Yourmom-gn3jv me too
I've taken tea kwan do for years, and have gotten my black belt, even then, I never feel confident. tkd can teach basics, but if you want to improve, work, if u want to learn to fight, spar, get hurt, cry, and improve
Such a wonderful video! Thank you for doing this. As a 6th degree black belt, I must say that I was very impressed. You have such a kind and honest heart full of honor. Well done!!!
What an absolutely fabulous job you did in 30 days. I found the ending very emotional. I hope you keep it up and reap the benefits of this martial art. Congratulations 😊
Congratulations, I wasn't surprised by the promotion. Great focus and attention to detail! Hopefully, you continue your Martial Arts journey!
You're such an inspiration! If you can afford it, don't stop doing what you do
Thanks a ton for this video. My brother used to show me his Karate techniques. He used to fight in tournaments and won many trophies. I was therefore excited to try martial arts with Capoeira being at the top of that list. This video was very educational and inspiring
So glad I found this video! Planning on trying a martial art soon and this was a great peek into what things to expect.
This was very a fun watch! I never heard of tukong before so this was very interesting! Good luck on your next testing!
Congrats! I decided to start karate as a gift for myself at 39. Well, I participated in my son's first class to encourage him to get over his shyness, and fell in love. I'm an overweight mom training with advanced kids, and that is a little intimidating. Especially for pushups. But with the next belt in mind, I am less focused on the physical goals and more on growth. Thank you for this. It was encouraging to see what hard work and dedication can get you.
Came for the skill, Stayed for the story, Truly inspirational, Way to go Kize!
Amazing! You have so much heart and focus! I was impressed and inspired! Good Luck to you!
You killed it. Tons of fun to watch. As an second Dan in tkd. I learned nothing about the philosophy of the sport and can see that this is a way more advanced art and life form from Korea. Thank you so much for making this video!!!!!!
Its commendable to see you learned so much in a month. Its basically years of training put together in a month😂 Karate student here..Oss!!
You are very talented, and you listen to everything carefully, absorbing anything you can, I really appreciate it all, take care and God bless you.
Thank you for sharing this story. I really enjoyed watching it. It's good to see there are dojo's out there with such a dedication to the martial art instead of being a money machine.
I love that sunset during your test. It fit so well with the atmosphere and the setting around you.
This is awesome , the work and discipline you put into that training was just great. Keep it up🙏
shitty training kinda. there no strecting or train in muscle. no pain no gain. barely see any pain in her training
I am new to the Content I had a bunch of years in the Martial sciences and was impressed with your hard work look forward to see more of your Journey congrats on the progression of your art and thanks for sharing it with us here.
10/10 video. Your test brought a tear to my eye. Awesome.
This was really inspiring , I've been training in taekwondo for year now ,I love my Taekwondo school. The people there are amazing and because of them supporting me and pushing me to do better, I got first in district's, and now have a district champion tittle.
Gonna admit I was a bit intimidated by the video length but then it just pulled me in. It was impressive and touching, I'm glad you've found such a great keeper! Best wishes on the continued journey (and next test! 화이팅~), it really shows that everyone was having fun with you around.
I like how simple she kept the video too. It was nice and EASY SO EASY just to watch her growth and development in the martial art. Since she is a fast learner (at least according to that female instructor) it worked out well and faster for her to get everything down quicker - for me though to learn a martial arts would probably take me getting yelled at, getting push ups because I can't learn "it fast enough" according to some martial arts senseis, renshis, etc and that alone is why I would be so scared to get back into martial arts--I would definitely need to have a patient instructor who wouldn't want to insult me, kill me, etc over not getting things down fast enough. As I was watching the video and seeing the girl practice in her room or wherever she was practicing that's where I really knew she got her training down a lot and it was really really nice to see her getting things down and that she learned and developed herself more in the martial art. This is exactly how I would need my journey to be if I was to get involved in a martial art - some people suffer from instructors being hard on their students for being slow, not learning fast enough, etc. For me to learn a few kicks, punches, blocks, etc would take a few weeks I would think (knowing how slow I am to learn things--things just don't click right away and it may take me like 1000000000 times before things start to click--I also have to forget what I learned and then try to relearn it again to finally have things click - that's the only way I could or would learn something but with martial arts I wonder if I would get the chance to learn things the way I need to). Anyway I really liked this video and she seemed happy learning martial arts--good for her. I can bet in a few years she will be a black belt--I'd say under 10 years she would definitely be one--it was interesting too to see or know how the different styles are basically or can be an adaptation from a or other styles. I really liked this video a lot. It was really nice to watch.
wonderful video. thank you for letting us follow along on your journey
Great Vid and thanks for sharing your journey! Martial arts is more than just fighting as you said. It has much more to offer.
I’m a kung fu instructor and have won a fair share of championships but, I’m still learning to be a Great KZheadr like you Kize 🙏🏼 there’s always something to improve. Awesome video as always 🌎🔥❤️🔥⚡️🥊
That's amazing Johnny! World champion wow
@@KizeBae have u ever hit or kicked a guy in the nuts
What style of "kung fu" do your practice?

You are amazing!!! And so inspiring!!
Very enjoyable and informative. Thank you for posting ! You are an excellent student.
What a fantastic video - Thank you for sharing your experience this was awesome :)
Wonderful accomplishment @kize. I eagerly look forward to training more with you.
Thank you Master Vikram!
@@KizeBae hey I have always wanted to fight you as we both wear a nylon windbreaker jacket sometime if your up for a challenge
I've trained in Chinese Kempo & Korean Karate (Tang Soo Do) I gotta admit the two styles blend in beautifully. ✊🥋☯️🇰🇷
At least unlike so many people you know that Taekwondo and Tang Soo Do which are really the same art just with a different name or both Korean karate.It kills me when people say Karate VS Taekwondo lol.
Yaaa glad to see you even kept going, that's awesome. So inspiring
It's so cool watching this! I started my martial arts journey about 5 months ago studying taekwondo under a Grand Master and founder of our organization. Now I work for the school as the assistant program director. It was fascinating seeing how similar what she is learning to what we teach in our organization. Congrats to her!!
Damn. Double Promotion in just 30 days. Your skills are amazing. I practice karate and I have my first brown belt, but your form is AT LEAST on par with my form. Stick with it. It's not only physical training, but also training for the soul!
I don't know why, but watching this made me tear up. Maybe because I see a young girl learning some skills that she might have to use one day because the world is not always safe when it ought to be. Martial arts has been my life for many years. You have just started on the journey and who knows where it will lead. All the best.
Congratulations Kize Bae. Good for you. I am glad you are enjoying the art and having fun with it. You're a beautiful person with a beautiful personality. Keep it up.
I’ve been learning a combination of lots of many martial arts and what you learned reminded me of the things I train in my class
I think what you're doing is awesome, and empowering yourself with an additional martial art is a tool that will follow you forever. I've been at it 9 years now, been a black belt for the last 3 years, BUT I wouldn't have allowed you to test after 30 days. I get it, you're doing this for your channel, and kudos to you, I wish your channel the best of luck. The reason being, 30 days is not enough to have the basics (stances, strikes, blocks, etc.) of the system ingrained into you; the basics of any system take time to get. Don't get me wrong, you having a good martial arts background helps a lot but you need to ask yourself, are you doing yourself a disservice for testing so fast? I like the fact you dedicated yourself going up to two times a day, it shows you weren't doing this just for brownie points. I also like the fact that you videoed yourself making mistakes and wasn't ashamed or embarrassed about showing those mistakes; you just kept going and it shows dedication. Your parents raised you well, and I think you will go far in life.
Thank you for presenting this challenge. Your every challenge motivates me to attempt something new and explore the world. I am highly curious to acquire new skills, learning new languages and exploring new things just like you. However, currently, I am 16 years old, and my family's financial situation does not allow me to do so. Additionally, I am occupied with studies. Nevertheless, I am determined that I will fulfill all my aspirations soon, and I vow to put my best effort into it.화이팅 🔥🔥🔥
Very interesting to watch and see a different martial arts style. I was surprised to see that this look very very similar to the training I do in Shotokan karate. Great job with your hard work and determination to train.
That freaking dojo is an amazing backdrop! Nice work on the training!
I do Taekwondo 🥋 and I am currently prepping for my belt test in which I will be double testing in October. You’re very inspiring. I am a yellow belt now and going for my green belt.
yellow belt, isnt blue next after yellow or your after green?
Nevermind, different areas/locations, understandable.
@@reudu orange is after yellow but I’m double testing
Hello Dee jay would you take me on sometime as we fight while wearing a nylon windbreaker jacket
Emocionante. Fechou com chave de ouro a promoção dupla, parabéns! Você foi excelente e inspirou a muitos com certeza. Me sinto inspirado!!!
Hii
That was incredible. You did amazing. So sweet and humble too. Enjoyed this video very much 🥋
A very well-deserved outcome, keep it up.
Hi Kize Bea I'm watching from England and I really want to meet you in person I'm soo excited for the next video Kize See ya
Wildly different from the jiu jitsu video.. it's interesting to see some more traditional style martial arts. I live in Korea and had never heard of this style. How do you compare this with jiu jitsu? Also out of all the skills you've tried, are you sticking with any, or have you found any passions?
Yeah dude this inspired me honestly, I'm actually getting BACK into my roots again with Martial Arts again. This was cool man, bravo btw I'm still watching but HELL YEAH DUDE! This is cool!
She is so good! Her kicks are so solid and high. When she first started, I was like, “She’s only a white belt?” And then the belt test, wow. Solid forms. Double promotion is right. She’s got the stance and structure down solid. Even a triple promotion would not have surprised me. I’m just so impressed. The instructors must have been great, too.
Hiii kize, i really love your video. The idea of learning new things in 30 days is just so cool🔥🔥. Just curious tho, how do you balance your schoolwork or other obligation while doing these challenges?? Thankyouu
barely lol
@@KizeBae Keep up the great work Kize. I hope you become a grandmaster of this wonderful martial art. Jeet Kune Do would also be a great style for you to learn as well.
I am just about to test for my black belt in Taekwondo. I’m a little nervous but you inspired me to practice even more.
Did you get it?
Yeah I did!
@@edensgarden6574 awesome
Go girl! So happy that you are still training.
damn that was really impressive for 30 days, awesome job. enjoy your tukong journey!
Hi Kize, I am looking to learn Korean and have been practicing writing and reading hangul for about two weeks now. Is there a tool or place you might know to recommend for speeding up my learning process? If not, no worries. I enjoy this channel very much! Have a great day!
That's awesome! Unfortunately I'm fluent so I'm not sure what resources are out there, but I'd recommend finding someone to converse with (once you progress a little more) if possible. Fastest way to learn a language!
As a black belt martial artist I was ready to be offended, mis-reading that you did a black belt test in 30 days. In the style I practice (Eskrima-Kali-Arnis) we usually do 3 months of training to Yellow belt, then 6 months to Green, 1 year to Red... However, 30 days of training is appropriate for 1st coloured belts, as long as you train thoughtfully, diligently & intensely. Good job!
Congratulations! This story is very well told and Videorecorded. Thanks for the inspiration.
As a Martial Artist, by watching your video its very inspiring me a lot. Thank you for your video! Keep up the good work!

I hope you continue to train and grow with this art. You do well.
Like black belt test, with how many other black belts were observing the test.
You can't really call or claim something "traditional" if the founder is still alive or only recently passed. Traditional has to go back countless decades or centuries. Also, except for Taekkyon, there is no such thing as a "traditional" Korean martial art. Every modern Korean art except for the latter only goes back to 1944 and after and is based on Japanese systems. Tang Soo Do was founded in 1944 by Won Kuk Lee who was a student of Shotokan karate. Kong Soo Do was Koreanized Shudokan karate. Kumdo comes from Kendo. Hapkido comes from Daito-ryu Aikijutsu. Taekwondo (founded circa 1956/57, not 2000 years ago) is based on Tang Soo Do and Kong Soo Do. Hwarang-do and Kuk Sool Won have roots in Hapkido, thus Daito-ryu ancestry. Did the Koreans add some things of their own? Yes. But those Japanese roots are still in there. During the Japanese occupation on the Korean peninsula the Korean arts were outlawed. However, they were allowed to train in Japanese systems. To me this looks like a mix of Hapkido and Taekwondo with some Okinawan Matayoshi Kobudo (weapons) thrown in. I find it hard to believe that it's a martial art that _"that had no specific name"_ and goes back 1200 years. Its like TSD and TKD claiming to be 2000 years old when we now know it was created by Korean masters who had trained in Japan during the 1930s and 40s. For the record I'm not saying that neither the people who practice this system or the art itself aren't legit. It's just that history-wise I'd be cautious about believing it at face value based on what we now know about the history of modern Korean arts and especially when there's only one source. It's a well known fact that many Koreans left South Korea as 2nd or 3rd Dan and once their plane landed in the west were 6th Dan or above. Not saying the grandmaster of this art did it, just that it did with others. I say that as someone with over 3 decades of experience in both Korean martial arts and jiu-jitsu. I grew up hearing about my arts' histories which were later proven to be untrue. By the way, it's nunchaku not nunchucks. Also the belt system (and uniform) was created by judo in the 1880s. It's not centuries old and each belt doesn't have any philosophical meaning.
@Lucas Alves yeah haha same
@Lucas Alves Karate is actually a Chinese Martial arts tracing back to White Crane Kung Fu, after the war they were trying to push the Japanese identity and to do that karate the name was born. There was no uniform if you look back to the original masters of karate they wore white tshirts and black pants or old Chinese clothes. The time where the founder of Shotokan brought over the system to Japan he was asked to make it more Japanese and that is where he met Kano the founder of Judo and he suggested they started using the karate Gi which is a lighter version of the Judo Gi. The best system was also adopted from the Judo system. So anyone claiming there is a spiritual meaning to these ranks is full of it. Which is also why karate is really called karate do and judo is called ju do. Originally judo is just several forms of jujutsu merged together to make Kano jujutsu but being after war times they wanted to make martial arts less "martial" or war like so the term "do" was used instead. Jutsu means skill, do means philsophy. Other words you may be familiar with is kendo sword philosophy as opposed to kenjutsu. "Gichin Funakoshi (1868-1957), founder of Shotokan style and widely recognized as the father of modern karate, in an effort to make karate more accepted by the Japanese people and further spread the art in mainland Japan, decided to adopt the belt and ranking system from Judo."
i saw the blocks are basically from karate but without the circular motion they are more straight forward
This was very inspiring to watch!
This was amazing to watch and inspireing me to join a MMA club keep up the sick edits too The video was amazing.
If you're training a martial art at a dojo that has little to no sparring, get the hell out of there. If you want to learn to defend yourself properly, you need to be pressure tested. All of this open air stuff will just make you over confident. A real opponent isn't going to strike once then stop coming at you so you can use a 'move' on them. Full body-low/no face attack sparring is going to actually help you if a scary situation actually happens. In 30 days it looks like they barely had you even touch another person, let alone actually try to fight. I hate to see people getting into martial arts without ever actually sparring for years at a time, then thinking they can actually protect themselves.
Great point. However, I’ve seen plenty of people with absolutely no training think they can actually protect themselves.
@@MrGhostface85yeah it's so crazy. I remember my first time sparring dutch kickboxing, I was humbled so fast. Most ppl like that drop out. Only like 10 months in now do I feel like I am somewhat ok at fighting, but still need ALOT of work. It's funny because ppl come to our gym saying they wanna have a fight in a couple months lmao 🤣🤣🤣
@@thelaundryman9287 Dutch kickboxing is a legit striking art and 10 months will make you feel like you’re in the matrix against the average person. In my BJJ gym, we come across a couple of cocky guys every now & then and they find out real quick that they overestimated their abilities. We make sure they roll with the 16-year old scrawny blue belt that taps them 2-3 times in a roll to have them questioning themselves.
I am a kyokushin practioner, since 1988, any how I hope this type of training can be enjoyed the ladies. Keep it up and go ahead.
I think this was more like cultural experience
Although I am seeing this 10 months after you made this video, I will say it has been possibly the best and most inspiring video I have seen this year. Congrats on skipping a belt as well.
Enjoyed watching this. Watching your grading, I knew you would double grade. Congratulations
You were amazing and this was beautiful to watch
