GONGKWON YUSUL

Top

Established in 1996, Gongkwon Yusul is a modern Korean martial art that translates to “Empty Fist” and “Flexibility”, symbolizing it as a weaponless fighting style that uses enemies' weight and energy against themselves. It takes techniques from other martial arts such as Hapkido, Jiu Jitsu, Judo and Kickboxing to form a comprehensive, new fighting style.


There are only a handful of Gongkwon Yusul schools in the United States. Walker’s is the only school in Michigan that offers a Gongkwon Yusul program. Though there are no competitions in the US at this time, Gongkwon incorporates sparring in addition to a diverse curriculum. Due to its advanced techniques, we offer Gongkwon to teenagers and above.


Gongkwon Yusul begins with standing techniques, using punching mitts, kicking drills and footwork training, before progressing into a variety of sweeps, hip throws, and takedowns to bring the fight to the ground. From there, Gongkwon highlights defensive and offensive grappling techniques to ensure students are competent wherever a fight may take them.
