"5000 Years of Korean Martial Art" is a one of a kind history book. No other Korean martial art history book on the market is as complete and in-depth. Citing historical references for support, and featuring many rare pictures and some images that are not available from any other published source. This book attempts to place Korean martial arts in it's proper historical perspective in relationship to Chinese and Japanese martial arts. Both Chinese and Japanese martial arts have well known and documented histories, so much so that they have completely overshadowed Korean martial art history. I have attempted to compensate for that overshadowing by focusing on the successes of the Korean martial arts throughout history. Barry Harmon has a BA degree in "Psychosomatics and Alternative Healing Studies" from San Francisco State University. He has an acupuncture degree from the San Francisco College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. He is certified nationally through the NCCAOM and license to practice acupuncture in Texas. In addition to his academics, he has been training and studying martial arts since 1965 and Kuk Sool Won since 1971. In 2002 KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) featured Master Harmon and his family in an hour long documentary which was aired throughout South Korea. Master Harmon currently holds an 9th degree black belt in Kuk Sool Won and has been featured in numerous martial arts magazines. In 2005 he was chosen by Tae Kwan Do Times magazine as instructor of the year. He has taught martial arts in many countries around the world including South Korea."

When people discuss Korean martial arts, they rarely mention taekyon. They are usually totally unfamiliar with the name because there hasn’t been much written about it. The four chapters in this anthology give an excellent overview of taekyon as a system noted for it’s dance-like qualities and combative style, especially for leg techniques. Taekyon stands unique as it represents most closely to a pure Korean martial tradition. Chapter one by Stanley Henning gives a detailed overview of martial arts in Korea. From the beginning, Korean martial arts were intertwined with those of China. Even the historical references to Korean martial arts are all in Chinese. The author concludes that traditional Korean martial arts are but a vague memory, with taekyon being the sole survivor. In the next chapter, Robert Young skillfully presents what is known about taekyon. With over 150 years of verifiable history, taekyon is the most thoroughly documented of Korean martial arts. Its skills and techniques greatly differ from those of other modern Korean styles. It is the only plausible candidate for the descendant of ancient subak. This well-researched chapter includes theory and techniques and lineage chart. Dr. Willy Pieter expands upon the historical development of Korean martial sports as presented by Young. There is an emphasis on the hwarang (“flower boy”) and their presence in Korean culture and martial traditions in particular. The etymology of Korean martial systems are questioned. The final chapter by Yung Ouyang offers a fuller picture of what taekyon represents as a moving art. Traditionally, taekyon was a game as well as a martial art, so many did not credit taekyon for its combative elements. It has largely been ignored by those interested in the fighting arts. It is gaining recognition as a legitimate heir to the traditional Korean martial arts, but is also undergoing influences from Japanese traditions and Western sports. Taekyon deserves to be recognized for its uniqueness among the martial arts of Asia. This anthology will serve as solid reference for all interested in the Korean combative traditions, and especially taekyon for its aesthetic appeal as a form of dance and graceful yet powerful combative method.

The Original Five Kwans of Korean Martial Arts provides a history of the 5 Korean kwans out of the many major and minor ones that opened in post war Korea following the removal of the occupational Japanese forces by the American bombing and invasion of Japan in 1945, The first five 1945 era Kwans were responsible for the creation and evolution of 20th century Korean martial arts that eventually created Taekwondo as an Olympic sport to diminish the popularity of Japan's Judo that had become a world wide sport. Chapters include Tang Soo Do, Song Moo Kwan, Yun Moo Kwan, Chang Moo Kwan, Chung Do Kwan, the Moo Duk Kwan and others. This book is for the serious, experienced and knowledgeable reader of Korean martial arts or a reader that wants to become one. The author's series of books on Korea's martial arts history and evolution are the most information available about Korea's martial arts since Asians countries do not commonly write about their history, choosing instead to forget it every 12 years regardless of the events and look to the future, unlike the West that writes great volumes about its history.

Surveying the histories, peoples, and cultures of numerous Asian American ethnic and cultural groups, the work covers everything from ancient Asian folklore, folktales, and folk practices that have been transmitted and transformed in America to new expressions of Asian American folklore and folktales unique to the Asian American historical and contemporary experiences. The encyclopedia's three comprehensive volumes cover an extraordinarily wide range of Asian American cultural and ethnic groups, as well as mixed-race and mixed-heritage Asian Americans. Each group section is introduced by a historical overview essay followed by short entries on topics such as ghosts and spirits, clothes and jewelry, arts and crafts, home decorations, family and community, religious practices, rituals, holidays, music, foodways, literature, traditional healing and medicine, and much, much more. Topics and theories are examined from crosscultural and interdisciplinary perspectives to add to the value of the work.

Korean traditional archery known as “Kukgung” (국궁) (alternate spelling “Kuk Goong”) is practiced throughout Korea and in many parts of the world. I will be using the alternate spelling “Kuk Goong” throughout this book. Kuk Goong is a beautiful and compelling art. There is a copious amount of information about Kuk Goong (Kukgung국궁) published and available on the internet so I will not say much about it except as it applies to our World Kuk Sool Association® (WKSA®) martial art archery. This book is meant to introduce readers to the training and practice of “Kuk Sool Goong” (국술궁). Kuk Sool (국술) is a Korean traditional martial art that includes the training and practice of Korean martial art archery. The World Kuk Sool Association® (WKSA®) martial art archery uses the same fundamental equipment as “Kuk Goong” and the first posture is the same. After that WKSA® teaches many different postures and distances for shooting and that makes it (or us) different from “Traditional Kuk Goong”. I will introduce the archery requirements and rules for World Kuk Sool Association® (WKSA®) competition as well as the fundamental, intermediate and advanced postures for training in “Kuk Sool Goong” (Kuk Sool archery). I will also introduce Kuk Sool Goong Shi Juhn “Arrow Shooting Battle.” Sometimes it’s also called “Archery Sparring.” This book is meant to introduce the reader to traditional Korean martial art archery as taught and practiced by the World Kuk Sool Association®.
