Kung Jung Musul

Kung Jung Musul (Palace Martial Skill)
By Ray Bull

This style dates from about 625 A.D., having been founded in the pre-Korean kingdom of Silla. Created as a martial art for palace guards, it has survived until modern day by teaching skills that any bodyguard would find valuable. Even the Hwarang adapted some of it's training methods for use in Hwarang Do. To survive the periods in Korean history when martial arts were out of favor or banned by conquering foreigners, Kung Jung Musul became a secret style. It was passed from master to student in the strictest secrecy, down through the ages. In fact the existence of this style is one of the greatest secrets of the bodyguard community.

To learn Kung Jung Musul, one must go to Korea and seek out the grandmaster of this style. Any freelance bodyguard who knows this style will not teach it to the general public as it represents his, and his brothers in arms, edge against the enemy.

In combat, a Kung Jung Musul stylist will instantly assess his opponent. If a threat they will be eliminated as fast as possible. If not they will be verbally pacified, and shuffled out of the way. Ancient weapons are taught as part of the curriculum to encourage proficiency in using both hands and to enhance the effectiveness of the art.
