Tukong Moosul (more accurately, Teuk-gong Musul, Korean 특공무술, meaning literally "Special Forces Martial Art") officially began as the self-efense system of the South Korean Special Forces. It is widely used by South Korean special warfare units, such as the elite 707 Special Mission Battalion. The roots of Tukong run much deeper, its origins can be traced back many generations, to the Dae Yeon Sa Temple in South Korea.
