What Is Choi Kwang-Do?
Choi Kwang-Do (The Art of Grand Master Kwang Choi) is an dynamic and innovative martial art system
that combines all of the positive aspects of traditional martial arts - such as character development and
positive mental attitude - with a training system that is pure innovation! Founded by Kwang Jo Choi, 9th
Degree Grand Master, Choi Kwang-Do is the culmination of more than 50 years of martial arts experience
and is recognized as one of the fastest growing martial arts in the world. Guided by movements that are
natural and stress-free, Choi Kwang-Do provides the most effective martial arts system for today's modern
society that is easy to learn - yet provides a complete health system for both body and mind.
Unlike many martial arts used for athletic competition, Choi Kwang-Do is designed to enhance students’
overall health, fitness, and well-being. Choi Kwang-Do classes provide a safe and non-competitive
environment for students that helps them to grow not only physically, but mentally as well. The
development of good manners, courtesy, self-discipline, self-confidence, and good social adjustment can
be considered primary objectives of this art, along with the development of practical self-defense skills.
The techniques and concepts of this art can be considered very non-traditional. Principles of modern
science, derived from psychology, kinesiology, and biomechanics, form the basis for Choi Kwang-Do.
Conventional martial arts methodology is more often based on mysticism, impractical traditional techniques,
or sports competition. Choi Kwang-Do is not designed nor optimized for athletic competition. Instead Choi
Kwang-Do is designed to be a devastatingly effective self-defense system that can be used in real street
situations. As stated above, Choi Kwang-Do's goal is to enhance the student’s overall health, fitness, and
well being rather than cause the injuries and damage that many competitive activities do.
The Choi Kwang-Do system is designed for prevention and healing of adult disease also known as modern
disease. These degenerative diseases include diabetes, heart and circulatory problems, arthritis,
osteoporosis, and obesity. This system of training solves the root causes of these medical conditions
through proper exercise – one of the most important element for preventative health. However, often times
exercise is practiced incorrectly, which actually leads to poorer health. The Choi Kwang-Do system applies
modern science and technology to promote optimum health and fitness as well as longevity. The integrated
movement prevents deterioration of brain cells and allows for cognitive thinking and memory to improve.
Stress reduction strategies found only at Choi Kwang Do include learning to use proper movement
requiring balance and coordination that assist nervous system development and function - a key element
in reducing stress.
Finally, Choi Kwang-Do is a dynamic art that continually evolves. As new information on health, fitness,
and improved training methods are discovered and developed, it may be formally integrated into the Choi
Kwang-Do training system. As students in Choi Kwang-Do, it is welcoming to know that you are not training
in an system that is static or based on outdated training methods.
