Which Style Is The Best?
This question has been asked for centuries. The question has been answered. No single style is the best. The commander of the South Korean TuKong unit asked the same question and got the same answer. The general ordered his top martial arts fighters to design the best program for combat fighting. The soldiers designed a program that utilized different techniques from different styles. They created a new form called Tu Kong Moo Sul (TKMS - Special Combat Warrior Technique).

The Key To Fighting Is Distance…
Every combat situation and fight moves through several distances. The key to winning a fight is using the right technique/style for the right distance. Most martial arts styles only cover a couple of distances. The true Secret to Tukong is "The Tukong Distance Theory" that focused its design and origin.

Tukong Distance Theory
There are 6 possible distances in every combat situation.  No single martial arts is strong in all the different distances.  The weaknesses can be overcome by using techniques form several martial arts that are strong at that distance.

TKMS was designed to apply the proper technique to the proper distance. Instead of relying on a specific technique to counter moves, TKMS focuses on adapting your methods to your changing situation. Even though many styles are capable of performing techniques at these different distances, they may not be effective or aggressive enough for Tukong training.  The developers of Tukong Moosul realized this and modified techniques from many styles to be effective in combat.

What Style Do You Use For What Distance?
Each person has his or her own unique distance requirements. Some people are taller, some are stronger, some are faster, and some are smarter. A person in a wheel chair has different distance requirements than an Olympic sprinter. This means the style each person uses for each distance may be different. The key is knowing the different techniques of different styles and adapting them to your situation. Once you have all the techniques from the many styles you can determine which option you use in different situations.

Is Tukong Moosul The Best Program?
The Tukong Moosul program is used to train combat troops to fight many different enemies at different distances. This U.S. program has been modified by Grandmaster In Ki Kim (one of the original designers of TKMS) to be the best martial arts training program for Americans in today's society.

In jungle combat, there are no rules, just like street fighting in America. One difference is, in America, fighting ends up involving lawyers. There needs to be a balance between the extreme conditions of jungle fighting with the environment of everyday life in America. The TKMS program uses many philosophy lessons to temper the response of Tukong Students who may be involved in conflicts.

TKMS reaches this balance by giving each person the ability to handle the different distances with whatever amount of force is needed. This could mean just walking away, or this could mean using deadly force. It can be used in tournaments or for urban combat.  Once you learn the proper way to use each technique and the many variations of force the choice is yours.
