		In spite of this, taekkyon was common until around the turn of the century when pressure from the Confucian authorities, who deemed it an inappropriate activity, seems to have lead to its gradual disappearance from common culture.
		Fortunately, taekkyon did not completely disappear but was preserved in the body of one man, Song Dok Ki (1893-1987), who was responsible for reviving it after liberation in 1945.

		The art encourages natural and rhythmic movements; watching practitioners moving through their paces, one is reminded of dancing (and, in fact, the art can be performed to music) rather than fighting, a stark contrast to the rigid, aggressive and ballistic moves common to other martial arts.
		The technical repertoire of taekkyon may appear simple, but the movements are profound; success in the art depends upon the application of timing and angulation to techniques, rather than brute force.
		As a traditional Korean art form, taekkyon's credentials are impeccable; as a health maintenance system it is efficacious, and as a method of self-defense it is effective.
