Choi Kwang Do (The Art of Grandmaster Choi), is a dynamic, innovative approach to martial arts training that is now recognised as the fastest growing martial art in the world.

Founded by Grandmaster Kwang Jo Choi 9th Degree Black Belt, Choi Kwang Do is the culmination of Grandmaster Choi's more than 50 years of training and teaching the martial art.

Grandmaster Choi therefore consulted with American scientists and experts in bio mechanics, kinestheology, psychology and pyschoneuro-immunology in order to validate his theories and concepts. Thus enabling him to develop a system of self-defence which allows its practitioners to deliver more powerful and effective punches, kicks and strikes, while reducing the risk of stressful hyper-extension injuries.
