Koreans have been shooting bows and arrows for millennia, in war, hunting, and for recreation and competition. Koreans are well-known in the world as champion archers. Once reserved for the rich and elite of Korea, Korean traditional archery is now enjoyed by men, women, and youth from all backgrounds. With great concentration, they practice daily to improve their skills to send an arrow 145 meters down range to hit their target. If that sounds like a challenge you wish to try, this book will help you to understand the basics about becoming a traditional archer in the Korean style. It is a practical guide, so the information is concise; you will learn about the different types of bows, arrows, thumb rings, and how to use them. You can learn about stance, draw, and release, and also understand the rules, etiquette, and terminology.

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®.

This book serves as a manual or reference guide for stringing and shooting one of the most difficult of all the traditional Asiatic horn composite bows to master: the gak-gung or traditional Korean horn bow. The emphasis is on stringing presented in a step-by-step manner. Common obstacles and difficulties are discussed, as well as appropriate maintenance measures and the tools needed to successfully string the bow. The book is particularly aimed at those outside of Korea who wish to own and shoot a gak-gung. It is also useful for those simply wishing to better understand horn composite bow maintenance and stringing as the principles presented are generally applicable to nearly all other Asiatic horn composite bows. Characteristics unique to the gak-gung are also covered. Includes a total of 32 figures in full color showing the tools needed, Korean horn bow types, and of course the stringing process.

This book, the first research publication on China’s archery culture to appear in the English language, introduces the historic development, key concepts, and research methodologies for archery studies. Archery was the most important weapon of war in pre-modern China; at the same time, archery practice was intimately tied to Confucius’ cultural and pedagogic ideals. Chinese archery was divided into the domains of military archery (wushe) and ritual archery (lishe), and may be further distinguished into han (Chinese) and hu (barbarian) archery traditions. Bringing together the leading scholars in this field, including Ma Mingda, Stephen Selby, Ma Lianzhen, Peter Dekker, and others, this book presents the most comprehensive statement on archery studies to date. In particular, it provides an in-depth survey of archery development during the Qing period and offers a unique cultural perspective to understanding China’s last imperial dynasty—through the lens of Manchu archery.

The Way of Archery provides a detailed introduction to practicing archery in the traditional Chinese military style. It explains the basics of how to shoot using the Asian thumb ring: proper posture, training regimen, equipment, and avoiding pitfalls in shooting. The thorough translation and commentary (with original and new illustrations) provide a fresh and practical perspective on Gao Ying's 1637 archery treatise (which, itself, influenced generations of archers in East Asia). The authors themselves are active practitioners of Chinese archery, having spent an endless amount of time and effort vetting their understanding of this old manual and putting its ideas into practice. Through this process, the authors have been able to make this archery text accessible to modern readers. Not only will the reader come to understand the technical side of the Way of Archery, but will connect with the philosophy and spirit of the ancient Chinese warriors.
