But, in a nutshell, Choi Kwang Do (or “choi” as it’s commonly referred to in class) was created by Grandmaster Kwang Jo Choi to develop an effective martial art that would also relieve Martial Artists of predictable injuries that can be suffered by practitioners of traditional martial arts, especially joint injuries. There is an emphasis on more of a natural fighting style; we remove the common “jerks” which are seen as negative for the human body. Add to this the explosion of power that anyone can learn and you have not only one of the most modern Martial Arts but one of the most powerful ones. This is what allows us to achieve Excellence through Martial Arts. “Choi Kwang Do is a unique martial art based on scientific principles and developed to promote optimum health, fitness and self-defence, not winners in sports competitions” Our discipline is not based on “points scoring” or “sports competition” so you will find a huge variety of people at the Cassar Academy. The youngest member is 4 years old and the oldest is 68! “The system is meant for all individuals who want to learn real-life, practical self-defence skills and achieve a greater level of health and well-being, not people solely interested in winning trophies” Regular exercise speaks for itself, the benefits here come from a varied stretch session at the start and end of each class, as well as tests of speed and endurance. CKD will go a long way to a happy, healthy and confident lifestyle! We hope that gives you a little flavour and answers the question “what is Choi Kwang Do”! |
