Background of Kyokushin Karate training in Korea
Although Taekwondo is by far the most popular martial arts sport in Korea, Kyokushin Karate can easily be found here as well.
Background into how I filmed this project:
I taught Mo and Bader (the subjects training for the tournament in part 4) in an English class at Kyung Hee University in the fall of 2008. They had just began studying as international students there, and it was my first semester on the job as well. Because they stuck out in a class mostly dominated by Korea students, I got to know them and we became friends after the semester has finished.
Nearly 3 years later I finished this short movie.
In this part 3 I interview their Park Sang Hyun, their Kyokushin trainer. We explained a little bit about the history of Kyokushin and who founded it. This part also contains some great slow motion shots of Mo and Bader training while Mr. Park dissects their style of Kyokushin fighting.
This part 3 is a must see for anyone interested in, or training for a Kyokushin tournament.
