A form of traditional Korean martial art, a variant spelling or regional term related to Korean hand-to-hand combat techniques.
From Korean 'chogak' (조각), possibly composed of elements meaning 'strike' or 'technique.' Related to other Korean martial practices that developed during the medieval period.
Korean martial arts had dozens of regional names and styles before modern standardization—chogak represents folk fighting systems that were practiced for centuries before organizations like the Korean Taekwondo Association unified martial sport.
