Bucheon’s Jung Ang Park Revisited

Filed as: Us and Bucheon // Responses: One

A long time ago we posted a video of us riding our bikes through Bucheon’s Jung Ang Park. As well, we showed you a time lapse of the sun and clouds over the park, as well as a concert in the park, but we never actually gave a proper tour of the park. And so, we decided to put together a cheap, National Geographic knock off video of things you can find in the park, (and many other Central parks in Korea), from indigenous birds to foreign photographers, stampeding students and odd mating rituals. You’ll get a better look at the park from the inside, though we can easily say that there’s still a lot of the park that we’ve missed out on. Stay tuned for more videos on Jung-Ang Park in the future.

That sway-y martial art is Taekkyeon. It's an old indigenous skill that emphasizes legwork and high kicks (so peasants on foot could take on mounted adversaries, I've heard). I guess it kind of looks like a game when you see it like that. Check out the fantasy action film 'Arahan' on DVD — in the Special Features there's a whole section on Taekkyeon, with great demonstrations. Plus it's a fun (and funny) movie.
