Overview

Korea's first martial-arts-themed children's book.

Book Intro

Geon-bang's Audacious Martial Arts Training tells the story of Geon, an elementary school student who loses his last remaining kin and devotes three years of his life to learning the Obang style of martial arts under Master Obang. After losing his grandmother, Geon decides to visit the House of Secrets, a place he often visited when feeling lonely or frustrated, one last time before entering an orphanage. Upon entering, he inadvertently catches a glimpse of a martial artist breaking boulders with his bare hands. Stumbling back in astonishment, Geon is discovered by Master Obang, the martial artist, and accused of eavesdropping in on the secrets of Obang style. However, Geon defiantly challenges Master Obang to a duel. Surprised by Geon's unexpected boldness and skill, Master Obang decides to accept Geon as his pupil, starting their wild relationship. Of course, Geon's journey as a martial arts pupil is fraught with unexpected twists and turns. Since Master Obang has no sense of finances, Geon has to take on economic responsibilities. Plus, he's tasked with ridiculous training duties, such as massaging Master Obang. After two years, Geon is faced with a challenge, and he finally learns the real meaning behind the Obang tenet that a sincere mind and belief in oneself are the true path to making everything possible. Master Obang finally accepts Geon as his true disciple and gives him the name Geon-bang, meaning "defender of the heavens". And so begins Geon-bang's audacious martial arts training.

In the face of having to overcome the loss of a precious family member, Geon-bang and his fighting spirit, combined with a genuine martial arts theme never-before-seen in Korean children's books, deliver a sense of tension and delight to readers. Gyung-soo Kang, the author, meaningfully conveys the various facets of the characters and a message of "promotion of virtue and prevention of vice". Kang, recipient of the Bologna Ragazzi Award, delivers a fun story through colorful action scenes and faithful portrayals of each character.
