Has anyone personally trained with Master Doo?

If so, is he any good or Doo-doo...?

@PandaMan1591000 From what my research it seems that China also had their own version of the nunchuck. There are 32 forms for the nunchuck at Shaolin temple and this weapon has been taught for generations.

It looks neat but I think its focus is too wide, it's better to become proficient at one art than to graze the suface of many (Kung Fu strikes, Taekwondo kicks, Chinese, Japanese, Korean weapons, Judo/Jujutsu throws and all those acrobatics) touch much?

@PandaMan1591000 I am glad to meet a decent person who wants to discuss in a civilized manner this topic; I have had my share of Korean nationalist wanting to cut my throat. I will send you a separate message with a list of articles you can get very cheap that will cover some of the sources I have used. Cheers

@Tianshanwarrior It's very intresting to discover how much influence other eastern martial had on korean martial arts. Especialy as the weapon i am currently learning at my kuk sool classes is nunchucks (a traditional Japanese weapon.) I guess that its very difficult to trace any martial art back to it;s TRUE roots, as different martial arts will influnce eachother, and the martial arts themslefs will evolve over hundreds of years.

@PandaMan1591000 Last but not least I do belive Korea must had have some MA, but we might never know how the look like as the influences from China and Japan were too many and over the centuries, transformed whatever originated in the country. An important point is that weapons fighting was considered more important than empty hand methods (they were a basic skill).
