One of the many personal achievements Grandmaster "Iron"
Kim has reached is the Kyong Gong Sul Bope (flying side kick). Pictured
above is Grandmaster jumping from the top of a building. A corner
of the roof is visible in the lower right corner of the picture.In
1970, Grandmaster "Iron" Kim demonstrated Kyong Gong Sul
Bope by jumping from the equivalent of an 11-story building. In
1972 Grandmaster "Iron" Kim again demonstrated the Kyong
Gong Sul Bope movement by jumping from the equivalent of an 8-story
building, landing without injury on a sloped surface below.
Performing the Kyong Gong Sul Bope movement is a phenomenal feat,
but more important is the tremendous internal power and strength
that an individual must possess in order to perform Kyong Gong Sul
Bope. Our research has shown that only a small number of people
have reached a similar level of achievement. Grandmaster "Iron"
Kim has maintained the miraculous mental and physical strength needed
to execute this movement. Even at an older age, we have no doubt
that Grandmaster "Iron" Kim is still capable of precisely
demonstrating the Kyong Gong Sul Bope form. He is a living example
of the benefits of achieving phenomenal Moo Doe strength. Grandmaster
"Iron" Kim has taught some instructors, with the position
of National Instructor and higher, the beginning levels of Kyong
Gong Sul Bope. They are now capable of jumping and landing from
a 2 or 3 story building without injury.
