The turtle, traditionally, has been the symbol of longevity and reliability in Eastern thought. Legends of the Turtle in Asia are many: One of the Four Kingdoms of Korea, called Kaya, was founded in 42 A.D. by the legendary King Kim Soo-ro who was believed to have been born from a giant golden turtle egg; Admiral Yi Sun-shin, though overwhelmingly outnumbered, defeated a fleet of enemy ships with his uniquely designed Turtle Boat, called Kobuksun, in 1592. Even today, in Taoist philosophy, there are ten symbols of longevity including the turtle, deer, crane, sun, moon and water. This theme of longevity has been a guiding principle for Turtle Press. We pride ourselves on producing products that are timeless additions to the martial arts world, a unique blend of tradition and innovation that is our hallmark.
