North Korean Special Forces penetration across the border during the 1960s and 1970s, demonstrating superior combat skills. In one particular foray, North Korean special forces personnel were apprehended. One of them, proficient in Gyeuk Sool, was able to dismiss three South Korean commandos within 10 seconds in hand-to-hand combat. [1] This prompted the South Korean special forces to create and pursue a superior and ultimate martial arts fighting system. It was this awareness which convinced the President of Korea to order the creation of a new and superior martial art. In 1978, this order fell on former Korean Tukkong Moosool Association President Lim Ung-Hwan. At this time, Korean soldiers were generally trained in Taekwondo or Hapkido, as well as techniques designed for the Korean Military. President Lim Ung-Hwan was an Army Captain and a specialist in anti-terro@rism with the 27th Anti-terr@orists Unit. At the time of the order, President Lim was commando commander of the 27th Anti-terr@orists Unit. As well as being a fifth dan black belt in Taekwondo, he holds dans in Aikido, Judo and Kumdo, and was a boxing champion. During his time in the Korean Army, President Lim trained with several Special Forces units around the world. President Lim combined elements and techniques from Taekwondo, Yudo, Aikido, Kung-Fu, Taegeukgweon (Tai Chi), Dang Rang Kwon, Muay Thai, Wrestling, and Boxing, as well as many other martial arts especially from Hapkido by master Jang. This combination of martial arts was designed to prepare the troops for any situation that may arise. Furthermore, Teukgong Moosool was designed to defeat terr@orists.
