Bok Kyu Choi
This channel explores the living legacy of Korean martial arts—past, present, and future.
I’m Bok Kyu Choi, martial arts historian and lifelong practitioner. I started in physics at Sogang University but followed my passion to earn a PhD in sport science from Seoul National University, focusing on Korea’s martial traditions.
Inspired by texts like the Muye Dobo Tongji, I study martial arts not just as technique, but as philosophy, history, and cultural meaning. I challenge nationalist myths and seek to bridge tradition with modern practice.
I lead the Korean Institute for Martial Arts and the Dutch Sibpalki Association. My works include The Koreanization of Japanese Swordsmanship and The Fist Bible, recognized by Korea’s National Academy of Sciences.
On this channel, you’ll find:
- Historical insights and practical demos
- Martial philosophy and cultural analysis
Whether you're a scholar, a practitioner, or simply curious—welcome to the journey.
