I am told this video is from the 2000s – but the footage seems older than this date – but I am not sure. What I do know is that following the forced US partition of the country (after the American invasion in 1945) – most of the notable Korean martial artists masters fled over the 38th Parallel to join the Revolutionary Forces led by Kim Il Sung! Those left in the South were the traitors who had collaborated with the Imperial Japanese Army before and during WWII. Afterall, Imperial Japan had invaded Korea as early as 1910 and ruthlessly ruled the country until its defeat at the hands of the Soviet Red Army during 1945.
The Soviets freed the North – but the US attempted to create a conflict by annexing the South. This is why the Republic of Korea (ROK) is still a US colony today – and a military threat to the DPRK! The ROK army was originally comprised of the brutal Korean Regiments that fought against China as part of the Imperial Japanese Army from 1931 to 1945. South Korea still maintains this military tradition. The DPRK, by way of contrast, has preserved the ancient martial arts of the Korean people – whilst also extrapolating these ancient arts into a modern military context. The ideology of “Juche” (Self-Reliance”) preseves the old and generates the new side by side and without contradiction!
hroughout the whole of Asia – the Imperial Japanese killed and wounded around 60 million men, women, and children! This number included many hundreds of White Europeans captured as POWs or civilian workers and their families. Millions of women and girls were routinely raped by the Imperial Japanese and their Korean and Taiwanese allies. This is why the North Korean people in this video train so diligently – in the hope that such atrocities will never be allowed to happen again! Do not forget, everything about South Korea is fake – including the “Tae Kwon Do” the occupying Americans invented in the 1950s to fill the martial void in the South.
The Tae Kwon Do of the ROK is a blend of Japanese Karate-Do (stances), Thai Boxing (where the head-kicking derives), and gymnastics (flying kicks) – that is all. The Olympic version of this sport is even worse as it has completely abandoned punching. In the North, what is termed “Tae Kwon Do” (the Americans stole the name) derives from a rhythmic village art that involves children and adults learning how to evade attacks (both armed and unarmed) whilst kicking the opponent to the head. As Korea still retains Shoalin-like Buddhist Temples, a very strict form of martial art is found preserved in those institutions.
