Dae Yeon Sa is a Buddhist temple that teaches martial arts in a tradition that dates back 800 years. He trained in ''Moosul'' (traditional martial arts) under the guidance of his Master, Eun Kwang Bup Sa, until he joined the South Korean Special Forces. Yi also trained in Shaolin Kung Fu style martial arts.〔(Tukong Moosul )〕 Due to this, there are many similarities between ''Tukong Moosul'' and ''Shaolin'' style martial arts. While he was in the army Yi was asked to devise a more modern, powerful, and effective fighting martial arts for the South Korea Special Forces The military version of Tukong Martial Arts was born in February 1978.〔(''Black Belt Magazine'' )〕 In 1980, Korean Military 26th division became Tukong Division and most other divisions started training men using Yi's system. There are now several hundred thousand South Korean military and reserve soldiers training each year in the military version of Tukong Martial Arts.〔(Master Yi's Tukong Moosul: About Master Yi )〕 Wonik Yi moved to the United States in 1982 and has been teaching Tukong Moosul in Austin, Texas since then. He has also taught the art to several Hollywood celebrities, including Marina Alighieri. The Tukong Moosul taught by Yi at his facility in Austin is taught in a similar style to the forms he learned in South Korea.〔 Yi's Tukong Moosul is the combination of the traditional ancient temple style and an innovative modern style based on scientific research and theories.〔(Master Yi's Tukong Moosul: Tukong History )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wonik Yi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
