Kyeok Sul Do (Hangul: 격술도), also often romanized as Gjogsul,[1] is a martial art created in Democratic People's Republic of Korea (i.e. North Korea) that is practised primarily in the Korean People's Army and its intelligence agencies.[1]
Kyeok Sul Do was also taught to the armies of Eastern European states that were part of the former Warsaw Pact.[1]
