Kuk Sool Goong: Korean Martial Art Archery by R. Barry Harmon Pdf

Korean traditional archery known as “Kukgung” (국궁) (alternate spelling “Kuk Goong”) is practiced throughout Korea and in many parts of the world. I will be using the alternate spelling “Kuk Goong” throughout this book. Kuk Goong is a beautiful and compelling art. There is a copious amount of information about Kuk Goong (Kukgung국궁) published and available on the internet so I will not say much about it except as it applies to our World Kuk Sool Association® (WKSA®) martial art archery. This book is meant to introduce readers to the training and practice of “Kuk Sool Goong” (국술궁). Kuk Sool (국술) is a Korean traditional martial art that includes the training and practice of Korean martial art archery. The World Kuk Sool Association® (WKSA®) martial art archery uses the same fundamental equipment as “Kuk Goong” and the first posture is the same. After that WKSA® teaches many different postures and distances for shooting and that makes it (or us) different from “Traditional Kuk Goong”. I will introduce the archery requirements and rules for World Kuk Sool Association® (WKSA®) competition as well as the fundamental, intermediate and advanced postures for training in “Kuk Sool Goong” (Kuk Sool archery). I will also introduce Kuk Sool Goong Shi Juhn “Arrow Shooting Battle.” Sometimes it’s also called “Archery Sparring.” This book is meant to introduce the reader to traditional Korean martial art archery as taught and practiced by the World Kuk Sool Association®.

The Way of Archery by Jie Tian,Justin Ma Pdf

The Way of Archery provides a detailed introduction to practicing archery in the traditional Chinese military style. It explains the basics of how to shoot using the Asian thumb ring: proper posture, training regimen, equipment, and avoiding pitfalls in shooting. The thorough translation and commentary (with original and new illustrations) provide a fresh and practical perspective on Gao Ying's 1637 archery treatise (which, itself, influenced generations of archers in East Asia). The authors themselves are active practitioners of Chinese archery, having spent an endless amount of time and effort vetting their understanding of this old manual and putting its ideas into practice. Through this process, the authors have been able to make this archery text accessible to modern readers. Not only will the reader come to understand the technical side of the Way of Archery, but will connect with the philosophy and spirit of the ancient Chinese warriors.

Chinese Archery Studies by Hing Chao,Lianzhen Ma,Loretta Kim Pdf

This book, the first research publication on China’s archery culture to appear in the English language, introduces the historic development, key concepts, and research methodologies for archery studies. Archery was the most important weapon of war in pre-modern China; at the same time, archery practice was intimately tied to Confucius’ cultural and pedagogic ideals. Chinese archery was divided into the domains of military archery (wushe) and ritual archery (lishe), and may be further distinguished into han (Chinese) and hu (barbarian) archery traditions. Bringing together the leading scholars in this field, including Ma Mingda, Stephen Selby, Ma Lianzhen, Peter Dekker, and others, this book presents the most comprehensive statement on archery studies to date. In particular, it provides an in-depth survey of archery development during the Qing period and offers a unique cultural perspective to understanding China’s last imperial dynasty—through the lens of Manchu archery.

The Composite Bow by Mike Loades Pdf

An ancient design, emerging from Central Asia in the second millennium BC, the composite bow was adopted by a staggering variety of cultures, from nomadic tribal peoples such as the Huns, Turks and Mongols, to mighty empires such as the Romans, Byzantines, Persians, Arabs and Chinese. Offering high power and portability, the composite bow was an ideal cavalry weapon, though it was also used by infantry in open battle and as a siege weapon. In this important study, an expert on Eastern military technology tells the story of this extraordinary piece of military hardware; how it was made and how various cultures developed differing tactics for using it. He explains why the composite bow achieved such stunning successes and how it endured as a weapon of choice for thousands of years.

Martial Arts in Asia by Fan Hong,Gwang Ok Pdf

The reawakening of Asian martial arts is a distinct example of cultural hybridity in a global setting. This book deals with history of Asian martial arts in the contexts of tradition, religion, philosophy, politics and culture. It attempts to deepen the study of martial arts studies in their transformation from traditional to modern sports. It is also important that this book explores how Asian martial arts, including Shaolin martial arts and Taekwondo, have worked as tools for national advocate of identities among Asians in order to overcome various national hardships and to promote nationalism in the modern eras. The Asian martial arts certainly have been transformed in both nature and content into unique modern sports and they have contributed to establishing cultural homogeneity in Asia. This phenomenon can be applied to the global community. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in the International Journal of the History of Sport.
