Interpretation of Kwon Bup from the Muyedobotongi a key reference for
Korean Mudo Historians

Kwon Bup means fist fighting method. The earliest surviving written reference
to Kwon Bup is found in the Muyedobotongji, which has extensive
documentation on the techniques and history of Kwon Bup. According to this
text, Kwon Bup was impractical for large scale combat on the battlefield, but
was taught as an introduction to the martial arts. Soldiers learned Kwon Bup
prior to learning more complex weapons arts to master footwork and body
control. It was also taught as a method of personal self-defense for Joseon
warriors.

Quan fa is a generic term used for open handed Chinese martial arts. The
hanja for quan fa and Kwon Bup are the same. The chapter in the
muyedobotongji dealing with Kwon Bup was inspired by Chinese writings
describing quan fa-techniques. It was the Chinese general Qi Jiguang who
said that empty-handed fighting methods were impractical on the battlefield.

These days the term Kwon Bup is used in many Korean martial arts as a
reference to their empty-handed curriculum.
