Among the many sports and activities to choose from, martial arts are becoming increasingly popular for health and fitness. Due to the differ-ent nature of the various styles of martial arts, injuries are not uncom-mon. 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 pur-pose 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 experi-ence. The annual rate of injury was 11.73 for every 100 CKD practi-tioners. There was no correlation between the length of training experi-ence and injury. Training frequency and duration had no significant re-lationship 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.
