About Us
Tukido has been established for over thirty years and literally translated means “The Art of Skilful Combat”. It was developed and modified from a complement of martial arts by Grandmaster Hock Aun Teh, D.A., whose concept of modern martial arts is like “one-stop shopping” – fitness and self-defence rolled into one. The exercises are designed to improve fitness, and the combat movements are designed to develop the skill of self-defence as well as to stimulate the senses to an increased awareness of the surroundings.
Unlike other traditional martial arts, Tukido has no stances and no rigid or impractical movements. Tukido is based on natural and effective movements, which are easy to learn and to apply. Principally, many traditional martial arts believe that all force derives from the hips, whereas, in Tukido, movements are based on the fact that all force derives from the feet pushing off the floor.
Tukido is a registered trademark and was the first and only martial art to have been awarded a developing grant by the government of the European Community due to the depth of research put into its creation.
