'Vital spot in Taekwon-Do is defined as any sensitive or breakable area on the body vulnerable to an attack. It is essential that the student of Taekwon-Do has a knowledge of the different spots so that he can use the proper attacking or blocking tool. Indiscriminate attack is to be condemned as it is inefficient and wasteful of energy'. - General Choi Hong Hi; ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TAEKWON-DO; Volume II; page 88. Taekwon-Do is one of the largest and most professional martial arts in the world today; (founded on April 11; 1955; by General Choi Hong Hi); and continues to flourish even after the passing of its founder in June of 2002. Over time the sporting factors took precedence and much was either ignored or discarded in the area of the original self-protection methods. In the original writings of General Choi much of the focus; structure and even the use of the vital points 'Kupso' (?? or Kyusho); as well as the weapon development to access them; was outlined but never fully taught. Kyusho International has developed a program to enlighten; educate; integrate and develop this incredible Martial Art back to it's founders concepts. This new program has the full support of the founders surviving son Choi Jung Hwa. The focus of this series is to investigate the Patterns (teul); which are performed in accordance with the founders precepts in 'The Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do' (an astounding 15 volumes written by General Choi Hong Hi; including his 'Vital Spots'). It is through this structure that Kyusho will be initially integrated back into Taekwon-Do. Kyusho International is proud to assist in this monumental and historic collaborative undertaking. - Languages included in DVD: English, Spanish, Italian, French.
