This book expresses the essential features
of the martial art known as Kwanmukan
which flows from the pre-World War II
teachings of Funakoshi Gichen by way of the
Korean karate masters who trained in Japan
prior to World War II. Kwanmukan is also
influenced by Toyama Kanken through
his association with Yoon Byung-in, a
practioner of Kwan Bop Bu. These rich
influences and unique perspectives make
Kwanmukan a unique karate system that
still incorporates the spirit of Okinawan
grappling and throwing arts that were
removed from many Japanese karate
systems. Truly, this book is rich with
information and insights for any martial
artist.
