Choi Kwang Do is a pseudo martial art developed by Choi Kwang-jo. The style relies more on flexibility and fluidity of movement as opposed to the more rigid lines of some other martial arts. To achieve this it employs yoga-based stretching to develop the flexibility of practitioners.
Choi Kwang Do has been criticised in online formats, notably from the YouTube channel Gemini-TKD-Sam, for claiming it is "proven" to be the most effective martial arts system in the world (as claimed on the CKD official website[1]),Choi Kwang Do has never been able to substantiate these claims.[2][verification needed]
