Hi Bland

Kong Sang Koon is also known as Kushanku. The animal that represents this hyung is the Eagle represented by the spread wing like arms, the grabbing the wrist and dropping to the floor sequence, etc.

Ship Su is also known as Jitte this is the TSD/SBD Bear form symbolized by it's heavy Neh Gong bear like movement.

Do any of you teach Kong Sun Kun Sho? All the videos I have seen on You Tube are of Kong Sun Kun Dae.
Any information you can give me about this form would be helpful. Thanks, Bland

I've seen more organizations start teaching the minor version over the last few years but I learned and taught the Shotokan version. I'm not sure if there is any legacy/history of Sho in classical MDK TSD.
