Artificial Intelligence and the Martial Arts
AI is changing the world, but its overlap with martial arts is narrow and developing slowly. AI may eventually become a valuable companion, but it is not—and cannot be—a replacement for the human experience. Grandmasters spend their lives refining their understanding of their art. AI, for all its brilliance, is still learning how not to hallucinate.

Culture Feature: The Art and Science of Hangul
Hangul, the Korean alphabet, is one of the world’s most distinctive writing systems. Created during the Joseon Dynasty in the 15th century, it was designed to make reading and writing accessible to ordinary people.
The debut cookbook from New York Times Cooking contributor Kay Chun, featuring 100 accessible, globally inspired recipes for every table.
“A master class in recipe writing and home cooking. Here is an artist who cooks with a quiet restraint that makes you lean in. There’s a precision to Kay Chun’s recipe development style, yet whimsy in the way she combines flavors and ingredients that aren’t usually found together.” — Eric Kim, author of Korean American
Where does a great recipe come from? For Kay Chun, it’s all about the inspiration. And to a lifelong New Yorker, inspiration is all around. Drawing from a global pantry of ingredients—the Korean influences she grew up with and the many flavors that have shaped her—she shares fresh yet familiar dishes the whole family will love.
Gather Around My Table embraces cooking without boundaries: dumplings are tossed with butter and Parmesan rather than soy sauce; doenjang steps in for tomato paste, caramelized to add complexity and richness to sauces; kimchi seasoning creates a punchy salad dressing. These are flavor-forward recipes for every day of the week. In Kay Chun’s hands, the question “What’s for dinner?” will never have a boring answer again.
Kay Chun is an accomplished chef, recipe creator, restaurant owner, and cookbook author (known for her cookbook Gather Around My Table and work as a food contributor). She is the daughter of the late martial arts taekwondo pioneer, Grandmaster Richard Chun.
