Kwok Wu Chuen is the combination of many martial arts, mainly Tae Kwon Do and Shao Lin.
Even the "link queen" was stumped on this one ... couldn't find a thing!

Me neither, my goodness is this ever a hard style to research, I found one link repeated in several places but the link was no good, and didn't work. I commend the person who is able to figure this one out. It looks like your best bet would be to talk to your sensei when you see him, perhaps he can suggest you some reading or tell you something

Drunken,

Don't bother. I tried already. When I tell people what martial art I do, I just say WTF Tae Kwon Do.

Dang, Kickchick (link queen). Are ya slackin??? Just kidding My master instructor (and drunken's, too) "designed" a new art ,per say. I tried to explain it on here before, but I donno how to explain it.

This happens a lot. You need to just get info on TKD and Kung Fu and fit them together yourself. Your teacher should be able to tell you who influenced him.

My second Sensei did this as well with TSD, Hapikido, Kung Fu, and a bit of TKD he called it American TAO Karate.

Congrats I have never seen KickChick without a link. Must be Friday the 13th. O it is.........................

Should it set off bells that someone in America took three Korean styles and a Chinese style and gave it a Japanese name?

To both people. Which art do you mean when you say "Kung-fu"?
