Choi Kwang Do is a exclusive art based on modern scientific principles from human anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, neurophysiology and biomechanics.  Choi Kwang Do's system is founded on the philosophy that its self-defense techniques should produce greatest force, be practical and effortless to learn, augment the individual's health as they practice as well as develop mental and physical conditioning.

Grandmaster Kwang Jo Choi, Founder of Choi Kwang Do International, has been instructing and teaching martial arts for over fifty years.  He was one of TaeKwon-Do's most leading envoys and was directly in charge for its proliferation throughout Southeast Asia.  Motivated by his lifelong commitment to the improvement of the martial arts, Grandmaster Choi sought out for ways to advance on techniques and teaching methods of his forerunners.  From 1978 to 1987, he integrated  techniques he had discovered, combined it with present science and formed a new martial art system called Choi Kwang Do.

Choi Kwang Do International is now one of the fastest expanding  martial arts health and self defense programs in the world, with schools located in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Greece, Russia, Argentina, India, Jamaica, New Zealand, Barbados, Nepal, Spain, France, Peru, Australia, the Netherlands, Algeria and Azerbaijan.  You may visit the Choi Kwang Do International website at www.choikwangdo.com
