LOS ANGELES, Jan 9: Korean martial arts master Bong Soo Han, who helped revolutionise Hollywood’s understanding of martial arts by creating fight sequences for modern American films, died on Monday. He was 73.

Han died at his home, said John Davis, director of operations for the International Hapkido Federation, which Han founded.

Han dedicated his life to spreading the martial art that combines the kicking and punching of Taekwondo and the joint locks and graceful throws of Judo.—AP
