Song, Keum Sool

(1882~1966)

Grandmaster Song, Keum Sool was born  before the time of the Japanese occupation of Korea.  His father was Grand Master Song, Duk Soon.  In the early years of his life,  Grandmaster Song, Keum Sool joined his father in the mountains to fight against the Japanese occupation of Korea.  It was Song, Keum Sool who was the last practitioner of the skill of Chook Ji Bub, "the flying art."  These skills were lost during the revolutionary times and struggles.  It was the skill of Chook Ji Bub that made it almost impossible for the Japanese occupying forces to catch Grandmaster Song, Duk Soon and his son Grandmaster Song, Keum Sool.  They were both famous Doctors of Eastern Medicine.

Grandmaster Song, Keum Sool passed his teachings on to his son Grandmaster Song, Jung Soo, and also to his grandson Grandmaster Song, Kyong Sik who is the current leader of OHTC.
