Description
Dr. Edward K. Song The current leader of Chun Seung is Doctor of Eastern Medicine and Grandmaster Song, Kyong Sik. Grandmaster Song ’s American name is Edward Song. The Gwanak and Jiri mountains of South Korea provided the ideal environment for the teaching and development of the Song family traditions. In the mountains of Korea and under the tutelage of his grandfather, Grandmaster Song, Keum Sool , Grandmaster Song gathered traditional herbs by hand and began to understand the applications of Nature at a very young age. Eastern medicine, martial arts and philosophy developed into an integral part of the training that is passed on and preserved today. Grandmaster Song began his martial arts training at the age of five under the tutelage of his father Grandmaster Song, Jung Soo and his grandfather Grandmaster Song, Keum Sool. The majority of Grandmaster Song ’s skills were acquired directly from his grandfather. Due to the reputation of the Song family ’s martial arts and eastern medical traditions, Grandmaster Song was afforded the opportunity to study with other great masters throughout Asia. The Song family education was focused on traditional martial arts, traditional eastern medicine, traditional tea, baduk, calligraphy and philosophy. These studies were completed in addition to formal student educational requirements. It is with great dedication and great honor that Grandmaster Song dedicated his life to the development and study of his family ’s educational system. Grandmaster Song completed his formal eastern medical training in Korea and graduated with a Doctor's Degree in Eastern Medicine. Grandmaster Song was now a Doctor of Eastern Medicine (OMD) and Master of the Song ’s family traditional martial art system. Before coming to the United States, Grandmaster Song served and completed his Korean military duty. Grandmaster Song trained both the Korean and American Special Forces stationed in Korea and moved from Korea to the United States in 1981. His first residence in the United States was in Washington, D.C. As the leader of Song family martial arts system “Chun Seung Moo Sool ” in the United States, Grandmaster Song started to teach the "right way" of martial arts to the public. The teaching of the Song family ’s martial arts traditions to the general public was a very significant decision by Grandmaster Song. Prior to this time these traditions were passed strictly to family members and disciples. The translation of “Chun Seung Moo Sool ” to English was another significant decision. A rough English translation is “Heritage Continues Martial Arts ”. Chun Seung Moo Sool describes the continued preservation of traditional martial arts by the Song family. This official organizational name was established by Song family member Grandmaster Song, Duk Soon in 1851. Grandmaster Song ’s goal was to create a translation that would capture the traditions of the Song ’s family tradition. The translated English name “OHTC Martial Arts ” or “Optimal Health Total Concepts Martial Arts ” was created.
