Symbols of GokNur
Ancient Turkic legens related to Oguz Khan play an important part in GokNur System.
Collectively the tribes that formed under the elder sons of Oguz Khan were referred to as Bozoklar, and the tribes that formed under the younger sons were referred to as Ucoklar. Bozoklar and Ucoklar are two main divisions of GokNur Curriculum in categorizing it's techniques according to geographical distribution of these two groups. Also in relation to level of difficulty intermediate techniques are presented under the Ucok (Younger Sons) category, and advanced techniques are presented under the Bozok (Elder Sons) category.
Each of the six sons Oguz Khan became leaders of their people and took a predator bird as the symbol of the four tribes that formed under them. In GokNur system, these predatory birds represent different segments of our curriculum.
