AB  - Among the many sports and activities to choose from, martial arts are becoming 
      increasingly popular for health and fitness. Due to the different nature of the 
      various styles of martial arts, injuries are not uncommon. Though there have been 
      studies on the injury rates of several martial art styles, there have been none 
      regarding Choi Kwang Do (CKD), a noncompetitive martial art with relaxed and 
      fluid movements designed to promote health and fitness for people of all ages. 
      The purpose of this study was to examine the rate of injury for adults training 
      in CKD to find out whether this is a safe style of martial art for adults. This 
      study found the prevalence, causes, severity, and types of injuries from CKD 
      practitioners around the world through an online survey targeting adults (n=122), 
      aged 18 or older, with varying years of training experience. The annual rate of 
      injury was 11.73 for every 100 CKD practitioners. There was no correlation 
      between the length of training experience and injury. Training frequency and 
      duration had no significant relationship with injury rates. A significant 
      positive relationship between training intensity and injury existed (P=0.009). 
      The results of the study found that CKD can be an attractive option for adults of 
      any age who are looking to learn a martial art or choose a physical activity with 
      a low risk of injury, however the training intensity should be kept at a level 
      that is not excessively high.
