One of many personal achievements of Grandmaster “Iron” Kim is the Kyung Gong Sul Bope

(flying side kick). Pictured above, Grandmaster jumps from the top of a building – a corner of

the roof is visible in the photo.

Not all martial arts movements are the same. Kyung Gong Sul Bope is different than a jump

side kick. One can see the strength in the hands, feet, neck – the entire body. Once achieved,

this strength sustains one’s mental and physical health and well-being. Once achieved, this

strength benefits one’s daily life, family, and friends.

Each photo of Grandmaster “Iron” Kim shows tremendous internal strength and willpower.

Each photo is also a guide and a challenge for students. When students correctly execute a

movement, they take a step closer to reaching their goals. Grandmaster “Iron” Kim has said,

“the photographs are not for my benefit. They are for your benefit to develop yourself.

Through correct movement, you can improve your mental and physical strength. Once people

have reached mental and physical improvement, no one can take that away from them.”

Over the centuries, few have reached the level of knowledge of Grandmaster “Iron” Kim.

Knowledge is important, but most important are the great number of people around the world

that have benefited from Oom Yung Doe practice.

We would like to recognize and thank Grandmaster “Iron” Kim for bringing the Oom Yung line

of traditional martial arts to the U.S. and sharing his knowledge for the benefit of instructors

and students around the country.

What follows is a brief history and a very basic explanation of the meaning,

the benefits, and the forms and movements that comprise Traditional Moo

Doe (Martial Arts), as it has been taught and passed down over the centuries.

True Moo Doe is rare, and finding someone who knows, understands and

can explain true Moo Doe is equally rare. There are very few individuals to-

day who hold correct and complete knowledge of Moo Doe. Herein contains

the true definition of Moo Doe as explained by Grandmaster "Iron" Kim,

one of those few individuals who genuinely understand Moo Doe knowledge.

Many have claimed to know Moo Doe, but the proof is not in just what is

said, but in the strength of the movement.

Anyone who has seen Grandmaster "Iron" Kim demonstrate Moo Doe

movement can, perhaps, begin to understand what true strength is. Over the

centuries, many generations of individuals have dedicated their entire lives to

developing and teaching Moo Doe. In an age of passing interests, very few

have this level of dedication and determination. The basic principles of com-

passion, strength, dedication, determination, patience and understanding are

the heart of Moo Doe. Those who have practiced and gained from this an-

cient line of knowledge truly know.

In the next few pages, one will find a history of the Moo Doe line of

knowledge in the United States. Although this line of knowledge has been

taught under different names, it can be recognized by the strength of the

movement.

Next, is a biographical account of some of the milestones in the remarkable

life of Grandmaster "Iron" Kim, dedicating his life to teaching the benefits of

true Moo Doe to every individual willing to try and open to learning.

INTRODUCTION

THE HISTORY OF TRUE MOO DOE GRANDMASTERS

Many believe that the practice of true Moo Doe (Martial Arts) is the best way to achieve tremendous mental,

physical and spiritual strength and well-being. This is one of the main reasons that the practice of Moo Doe has

been held in such high esteem in East Asia throughout the centuries.

Today, around the world, only a few dedicated people

have reached the level of a true Grandmaster. These

individuals are unique and incomparable in their Moo

Doe abilities. They are extremely selective about where,

and to whom, they pass on their knowledge.

True Moo Doe practitioners meticulously follow prop-

er Moo Doe training steps which result in miraculous

long-term mental, physical, and spiritual strength.

Throughout the centuries, true Moo Doe Grandmas-

ters have upgraded the Moo Doe training steps to ac-

commodate the different needs of their generations.

These upgrades are necessary to maintain the miracu-

lous mental, physical, and spiritual strengths achieved

by prior generations. In this century, Grandmaster

“Iron” Kim upgraded the training steps, taking into consideration such things as current living conditions,

modern technology, the constant attack by toxic environmental forces, and stress on the mind and body.

True Grandmasters never change true Moo Doe principles (Chung Doe, correct path) for any reason. If these

principles are altered, the practitioner is not practicing true Moo Doe, and will not achieve Moo Doe benefits.

Rather, the practice devolves into basic exercise with minimal health benefits – an ineffective use of time. As a

practitioner ages, the differences between true Moo Doe and improper training become even more obvious.

Many higher-level practitioners, who have researched the Oom Yung (Chung Moo) style for more than a quar-

ter century, believe in the legends of the origin of the Oom Yung (Chung Moo) line of Masters and Grandmas-

ters. Through this research, more details regarding the history of traditional Moo Doe knowledge and

Grandmaster “Iron” Kim will be released through lessons and written materials.

HISTORY

HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL OF

OOM YUNG DOE (CHUNG MOO DOE)

Because of the long history of Moo Doe, there are many different beliefs

and legends associated with its origins. For example, there are different

movements and different legends associated with the word or name

“Bagwa.” Some say it is a person’s name; some say it is a style of martial

arts; and some say it is a figure or pattern of movement. Some people say

that the Bagwa style originated about 200 to 400 years ago. Others say

that it dates back several thousand years. The Oom Yung / Chung Moo

style follows the legend that Bagwa was a person’s name, and that he was

the founder of the Oom Yung / Chung Moo line of martial arts about

1500 to 2000 years ago.

The Oom Yung Doe / Chung Moo Doe style of Moo Doe is taught in

the United States and throughout the world today by its founder,

Grandmaster “Iron” Kim. It encompasses all the form and movement of

the Oom Yung Doe line of Moo Doe, taught over the centuries, since the

time of the first generation Grandmaster “Bagwa.” The seventh genera-

tion Grandmaster Wang Po taught the Oom Yung line of martial arts

under the given name of Yin Yang Doe.

Other styles of East Asian Moo Doe have been incorporated into the

original Oom Yung / Chung Moo line. Today, about twenty percent of

the Oom Yung Doe / Chung Moo Doe style is derived from other styles

of East Asian Martial Arts and has come to be known as “Eight Martial

Arts taught as One,” or “All Martial Arts United.”

Throughout history, the given names of the different styles of martial arts have changed, and the form and

movement have been refined. It is also common for each Grandmaster to select a unique name (given name)

to distinguish that generation of form and movement from the previous.

In the early 1970s, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim brought the Oom Yung Doe / Chung Moo Doe line of martial

arts to the United States from East Asia.

HISTORY

GRANDMASTER "IRON" KIM

THE 8TH GENERATION GRANDMASTER OF THE

OOM YUNG/CHUNG MOO LINE OF MARTIAL ARTS

The origins of a line of martial arts are based on the movement,

strength and credibility of the individual master, his instructors

and his students. The strength of the movement determines

how strong the style is and the credibility of that generation of

individuals. The true test of any Moo Doe expert’s skill is not in

what he or she can say, but rather in what can be demonstrated.

The achievements of Grandmaster “Iron” Kim and his expla-

nations of Moo Doe moral philosophy clearly show the

strength and credibility of the Oom Yung / Chung Moo line of

martial arts knowledge.

A FEW OF GRANDMASTER “IRON” KIM’s ACHIEVEMENTS At the age of seven, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim began his life’s path in the study and practice of martial arts.

To achieve perfection of his martial art movements, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim many times chose the solitude

of the mountain and ocean areas of Asia to practice the forms and techniques that he learned. Although he

learned from many qualified teachers, a majority of the knowledge that Grandmaster “Iron” Kim possesses

was passed down through Grandmaster Wang Po, the 7th generation Grandmaster of Yin Yang Doe.

As an apple is thrown toward Grandmaster "Iron" Kim, he cuts it into

4 pieces with a sword. Tremendous speed, accuracy and timing is

necessary in order to accomplish this feat.

MASTER “IRON” KIM

UNCONTESTED "CHAMPION

OF ALL ASIA" In 1956, Master "Iron" Kim did compete in and win

the All Asia Championship that was held in the Cho

Leung area of Pusan. It was sponsored that year by

Grandmaster Wang PO. The Chinese title of Chung

Moon Jik or "champion" was bestowed upon Master

"Iron" Kim. The first place award that he received

was called a Chung Moon Chung, which is a paper

scroll with wooden rods at each end. It is inscribed

with the accomplishments of the winner and carries

the official seal of the tournament. Several promi-

nent judges and martial artists were in attendance at

this championship and hold in their memory the

truth of this occasion . The presiding judges were

10

Yang Chou Fai (then a resident of Taegu), Wang Sei Kau (then a resident of Pusan) and Hwan Byung Quan

(then a resident of Pusan). These three judges were originally residents of China. Also in attendance were Mok

Jing Quan, from Osan, Korea; Chae Jung Su, of Dong Nae, Pusan; Park Hyun Su, of Sum Yun, Pusan; Yu Gee

Han, of Taegu; Chil Sung and Park Yung-Gil of Daichon, Korea. Anyone who has knowledge of martial arts

during that period will recognize the tradition of the Chung Dong Yang Moo Sul Yun Moo Dae Hwey (All Asia

Championship Tournament) and the names that appear above.

After winning the All Asia Championship Tournament, Master "Iron" Kim continued to excel in martial arts

form and movement. He taught others and, in fact, sponsored many of the Chun Dong Yang Moo Sul Yun

Moo Dae Hwey championships; which at the time, were held in the

Sum Yun area of Pusan, Korea. Other co-sponsors of these tourna-

ments with Master "Iron" Kim were Park-Yang Su, Choe Jung Su,

Sun Baek Yew and Ee Jun Yu, all having the accomplished position

of Chong Sa Bu or Sa Bu (assistant master or one step below) in

their respective styles. The strength of the Oom Yung line that Mas-

ter "Iron" Kim demonstrated at these contests convinced other prac-

titioners to decline challenging him in the years that he sponsored

the tournament. Because he was uncontested champion during that

time, Master "Iron" Kim was bestowed the honorable and respected

position and title of "Chon Shim Pan Whey Won Chaeng," or

"Supreme Judge and Arbiter," by the co-sponsors and the martial

arts experts who participated in these tournaments. Even though

Master "Iron" Kim did earn the title of uncontested Champion of

All Asia, he felt that there was much more to learn, and thus he con-

tinued to study and develop his skills further. His ultimate hope was

that all martial arts could some day be united.

“ALL MARTIAL ARTS UNITED” In the early 1960’s Master “Iron” Kim expanded his quest for knowledge. He traveled and sought Masters who

had reached a higher level of Moo Doe knowledge. There were seven top practitioners from an elite group of

about twenty Masters throughout East Asia with whom Master “Iron” Kim exchanged individual skills in the

martial arts. All the names of the practitioners that appear above were part of that group of about twenty top

Masters. Master “Iron” Kim’s purpose was to build his own wisdom, knowledge and understanding in the Moo

Doe traditions of the eight main styles. Regardless of how far he had to travel or the difficulty of the training,

Master “Iron” Kim relentlessly pursued, learned and absorbed the complete knowledge of form and movement

from these top practitioners. After completing the training, Master “Iron” Kim then shared his knowledge of

the Oom Yung / Chung Moo style with the top members from this group. After seven years of training and

sharing his knowledge with the best practitioners in East Asia, Master “Iron” Kim became one of a few elite

practitioners who were well-rounded in the eight main martial art styles. He was one of several Moo Doe prac-

titioners responsible for uniting all Moo Doe, and capable of teaching eight martial arts together as one style, or

“All Martial Arts United.” Finally, after seven years, his wish of bringing together “All Martial Arts United” and

the Oom Yung line became a reality.

Of the hundreds of millions of people who practiced martial arts in the 20th century, Master “Iron” Kim was

one of approximately fifty practitioners who achieved unprecedented fame and recognition for being the most

skilled in Moo Doe.

MASTER "IRON" KIM ESTABLISHES THE OOM YUNG/

CHUNG MOO STYLE IN THE UNITED STATES

Master “Iron” Kim’s goal was to teach the Oom Yung / Chung Moo line to people of all

nations. To do so, he planned to build a strong foundation of martial arts in the United

States from which to spread worldwide. With this goal, Master “Iron” Kim left East Asia

and came to the United States in the early 1970’s.

In 1970, Master “Iron” Kim demonstrated Kyung Gong Sul Bope by jumping from the

equivalent of an 11-story building. In 1972, shortly after arriving in the United States,

Master “Iron” Kim again demonstrated the Kyung Gong Sul Bope movement by jump-

ing from the equivalent of an 8-story building and landing without injury on a sloped sur-

face below. Very few individuals have ever accomplished such feats.

Upon arriving in the United States, Master “Iron” Kim felt he could best begin to teach

martial arts by first learning basic English and American culture. In 1973, after educating

himself on the American way of life, Master “Iron” Kim opened the first of four schools

that he owned in the United States. Many times in areas where schools became estab-

lished, the local paper would interview Master “Iron” Kim, and write articles about him

and the Oom Yung /Chung Moo style of martial arts.

In early 1974, Master “Iron” Kim briefly returned to Korea. It was at this time that Wang Po, the 7th genera-

tion Grandmaster of Yin Yang Doe, passed to Master “Iron” Kim all the knowledge and traditions that had,

likewise, been passed to him. Soon thereafter, the title of 8th generation Master of the Oom Yung line was be-

stowed upon Master “Iron” Kim. Grandmaster Wang Po passed away in 1976 in Pusan at the age of 93.

It was also in 1974 that Master “Iron” Kim was the principal

martial arts demonstrator for the second “Billy Jack” movie

promotional titled “The Trial of Billy Jack.” In this exhibi-

tion, Master “Iron” Kim performed in front of approxi-

mately 125 martial arts masters and experts from around the

world, and over one hundred actors and actresses.

In 1975, about a year after the untimely death of martial arts

actor Bruce Lee, Warner Brothers motion picture studios

began their search for a replacement. After auditioning martial arts “experts” from around the world, Master

“Iron” Kim was asked to screen test and was subsequently pronounced Warner Brothers’ selection. At that

time, Master “Iron” Kim was faced with the choice of accepting a motion picture contract or continuing to

teach his art. Master “Iron” Kim chose to continue to teach for the benefit of tens of thousands of students.

In 1975, Master “Iron” Kim was also the principal demonstrator for the International Martial Arts Exhibition

benefiting the “Asian Orphans Charity.” Over thirty masters and experts assisted Master “Iron” Kim in this

worthy cause. The proceeds from this charitable event provided aid to children of all nationalities.

In 1976, Master “Iron” Kim taught U. S. military martial arts instructors from around the United States. These

training sessions were conducted at Master Kim’s training center near Ft. Jackson, South Carolina.

From 1977 through 1982, Master “Iron” Kim devoted his energies to training a select group of black belt stu-

dents who had previously demonstrated both outstanding abilities coupled with the mental or “chung” discipline

that Master Kim required of all advanced students. Beginning in 1983 and continuing through 1989, Master

“Iron” Kim concentrated on training select 3rd degree through 8th degree Instructors and Masters.

In 1989, for the first time, Master “Iron” Kim founded “Chung Moo Doe” to represent the heritage of the royal

line of martial arts for the first generation of practitioners in the United States. By so doing, Master “Iron” Kim

then carried on the title of Chong Su Nim (Honorable Founder).

The annual “Eight Martial Arts National Championship Tournament” began in the 1990s and has been held un-

der the name of Chong Su Nim (Honorable Founder) “Iron” Kim, whose great skills are recognized internation-

ally. To this day, tournaments are held for both students and instructors, with medals and certificates awarded at

the competition’s end. At these tournaments, Oom Yung Doe Instructors have presented honorary martial arts

certificates to United States Senators and Congressmen, as well

as numerous judges, government officials, police and military

officers, television anchors, clergy and community leaders. These

individuals have all recognized the vital role that Chong Su Nim

“Iron” Kim’s teachings have played in inspiring hundreds of

thousands of people throughout the years.

Chong Su Nim “Iron” Kim trained the instructors who demon-

strated the proper use of weapons and “empty hand” combat to

members of the FBI during the 17th Annual International Asian

Organized Crime Conference held in 1995.

In 1996, Chong Su Nim “Iron” Kim formally became Grandmaster “Iron” Kim of eight different martial arts

disciplines and retired. Unlike the average retiree who turns his thoughts and life in a new direction, Grandmaster

“Iron” Kim undertook the intense study of methods for bettering the physical and mental abilities of all age

groups, with special emphasis on the aging.

In addition to passing Traditional Moo Doe training throughout Moo Doe schools, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim

passed his knowledge of Moo Doe therapies and cures for many illnesses through seminars and other venues

worldwide. During this process, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim often explained the principles of “Oom Yung” (Yin

Yang), which was easier for many to relate to than the name “Chung Moo.” Translated, “Chung Moo” means

specifically “mind and body.” The name “Oom Yung” (Korean) is the same as “Yin Yang” (Chinese), which

means the balance and harmony of everything in nature — which, of course, is inclusive of “mind and body.”

In 1999, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim chose to use the name “Oom Yung Doe” to represent all the knowledge that

is being passed down to the schools, the community and throughout the world.

Throughout history, only a very small number have earned the status of Grandmaster of true Moo Doe. Before

he came to the U.S. in 1972, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim had achieved the highest level of skill possible within the

eight different Martial Arts. Grandmaster “Iron” Kim is one of very few people to demonstrate miraculous men-

tal and physical Moo Doe strength. Because of this strength, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim is considered one of the

most powerful Moo Doe practitioners of the 21st Century.

At the Billy Jack movie promotion, Grandmaster

"Iron" Kim uses 1/2 ton of force within 1/4 inch to

break a brick on student's head without injury.

8 MARTIAL ARTS TAUGHT AS ONE

공수도 Kong Su / Tae Kwon Do (Korean Style/Japanese Style)

Kong means “empty.” Su means “way.” Kong Su translates to “Empty Hand Way.” This hard style focuses on straight

speed where hard blocks and attacks are executed with strong, external force. Practicing this style greatly increases external

strength within a short period of time. Offense is straight, side, back, and forward with explosive hand and foot attacks.

The feet (especially kicks, including front snap, side, and reverse kicks) are more often used than the hands and strikes are

usually straight at many different angles. Certain techniques strengthen the knuckles and bones in the hands and feet for

more effective striking. Defense is straight up, down, in, out, and to the side.

Oom Yung Doe Martial Arts uses Kong Su as part of its basic training because the movements are simple and linear.

Through this practice, one gains a simplistic, but necessary foundation of speed, strength, and coordination as a basis for

more advanced and intricate martial arts techniques. Kong Su movements

are especially beneficial for younger students and help build reflexes, coor-

dination, and timing. For older students (over the age of 50), it is best to

practice these movements lightly, and without snap. Otherwise, it can

stress joints.

Increased determination and discipline are just a few of the immediate ben-

efits. In addition to physical confidence, the practitioner gains a dramatic

increase in both muscle flexibility and strength and a beginning level of

joint flexibility.

유도 Udo / Jujitsu (Korean Style/Japanese Style)

U means “soft” or “flexible.” Do means “way.” Udo translates to "Flexible Way.” The form is soft and develops

proper falling techniques without injury by keeping the body flexible and developing coordination and strength.

The practitioner develops self defense against strikes, grabs, and kicks and in both offensive and defensive move-

ments, the opponent's strength is used against them. Precise

placement of the feet is vital, and strong handgrips are applied

over the opponent's entire body. Strikes are in all different direc-

tions, using more circles than angles.

This training develops flexibility throughout the body, particular-

ly in the spine. Agility and coordination are greatly increased.

공부 Goong Bu Kung Fu (Chinese Style)

Goong means “palace” Bu means “out of.” Goong Bu was the martial art study “From the Palace” Offensive and de-

fensive movements are straight but curve in all different directions using more circles than angles. Forms combine con-

trolled soft and hard movements that become instinctive. Self-defense utilizes circular motions, blocks, and attacks

while moving as one with the entire body.

Development is both internal and external. Practitioners quickly

increase energy allowing the body to feel comfortable and relaxed

throughout the day. This energy improves circulation, which in

turn stimulates organs. One also gains muscle and joint flexibility,

coordination, strength, speed, and significant increases in range of

motion. Practice also increases muscle tone and is good for

weight loss.

합기도 Hap Ki Do / Ai Ki Do (Korean Style/Japanese Style)

Hap means “United.” Ki means “Energy.” Do means “Way.” Ai means “Harmony.” Ki means “Energy.” Do

means “Way.” Therefore, Hap Ki Do translates to “United Energy Way” and Ai Ki Do means “Harmony Ener-

gy Way.” In Hap Ki Do, movements are hard and soft. Target areas include joints, pressure points, and nerves,

and close proximity to the opponent is most beneficial. Hands and feet are used equally for offensive and defen-

sive, and strikes are in all directions with mostly angles rather than circles. Similarly, in Ai Ki Do, movements are

hard and soft and the target areas are the joints, pressure points, and nerves. However, hands are usually used

more than feet. Offensive and defensive movements are applied in all directions, angles, and curves, and utilize a

very strong handgrip. The practitioner will gain skills in defending against grabs from the front, side, and back.

Ai Ki Do develops tremendous strength and flexibility in the

hands, wrists, elbows, and forearms. This arm strength leads to an

explosive punch. Practice prevents maladies in the fingers, hands,

wrists, forearms, and elbows such as arthritis, rheumatism, and

carpal tunnel syndrome.

태극권 Tai Chi Chung (Chinese Style)

Tai Chi is sometimes described as moving meditation and combines both offensive and defensive applications.

Movements are so varied that every part of the body engages. Each harmonious form flows with the grace of a

specific aspect of nature and works with nature’s energy. Examples include the swaying motion of willow branches

being coerced by a gentle breeze or clouds slowly changing in shape or form. Movements are slow and deliberate

without force or power. The speed of the breathing matches the speed of the movement.

Tai Chi Chung develops inner strength, mental calmness, physical

well-being, and overall health. Some of the immediate benefits

students notice are mental calmness, an increase in energy, better

circulation, and chi flow.

검도 Kom Do (Korean and Japanese Style)

Kom Do is the practice of Samurai Sword. Movements are very quick, precise, and powerful, and in all different

directions. During practice, one keeps strong eye contact with the opponent while at the same time watching the

opponent's body. Offensive and defensive movements are straight and to either side with more circles than angles.

Ultimately, the mind, body, and sword must come together as one.

Practice develops excellent concentration and mental focus and

concentration, which in turn results in stronger cognitive perfor-

mance and study habits. One will also gain tremendous internal and

external strength overall, and a substantial increase in shoulder, arm,

and hand strength. This strength leads to improved confidence,

harmony, and inner peace.

16

파과 장 Bagwa Chung (Chinese Style)

Bagwa (Bagua or Pakua) as a martial art is based on the theory of continuous change in response to a given situa-

tion. It is an internal form of Traditional Moo Doe that sharpens reflexes and cultivates the understanding of

one’s mind and body. Bagwa Walk is a special, circular walking position derived from the movements of various

animals. The Oom Yung line of Bagwa consists of 360 techniques that encompass many different offensive and

defensive positions. Bagwa training enables you to move your body like a coiled spring, smoothly and lightly, but

with tremendous speed and power. This form includes offensive and defensive movements that develop both

internal and external strength.

Practicing Bagwa focuses positive chi (energy) within the body, and redirects and removes negative chi. Correct

practice, therefore, harmonizes and centers one’s chi, and mind and body. Also, through proper training, an indi-

vidual is capable of properly directing his or her chi. However, if done incorrectly, the individual may improperly

direct his or her chi to only certain parts of the body, result-

ing in an imbalance of chi that ultimately adversely affects

their body shape. Bagwa is a powerful way to increase one’s

Nae Gong (stored internal strength.) Certain masters of Tra-

ditional Moo Doe use secret Bi Bong herbal formulas to ac-

celerate their Bagwa development, quickly balance their chi,

increase their Nae Gong, and harmonize their mind, body,

and spirit.

… Moo Doe is principally a healing power. Everything in nature is made up

of energy in one form or another. Through specific exercise and movement

techniques (Myung Sang, U Dong Myung Sang, and Nae Gong) proven

over centuries, the energy around us can be utilized to enhance vitality and

wellness in extraordinary ways… Our modern modalities of “wind, fire, and

water” are the body’s magnificent respiratory, thermal, and circulatory sys-

tems upon which all health and strength depend. Through the harmony and

balance of these systems, life can be lived to the fullest.

십 팔 계 Ship Pal Gae (18 Weapons) Chinese and Korean Style

Ship Pal Gae encompasses eighteen different weapons. The proper steps of Ship Pal Gae practice at an intermediate level include: - The weapon and body combine as one - Breathing and movement harmonize together with control and coordination - Practice speed is a combination of fast and slow body movements. Ship Pal Gae forms are soft and hard, and the weapon and body must move in coordination with proper timing. If the weapon moves one direction and the body moves in another direction, it will eventually result in injury. Move-ments are usually offensive, and strong eye contact is maintained with the opponent. The hands and feet are used in all different directions, with both angles and circles.

Someone can practice with any weapon to understand the correct movements, but to specialize in a weapon at the intermediate level, the weapon must be properly matched to the practitioner’s body. For example, it is improper for someone with a small body to specialize in Chung Yun Doe or Chong Bong. Rather, a Doe or Kom would likely be more suitable because smaller weapons are easier for a smaller person to handle.

These forms develop flexibility, coordination, strength, and speed. With proper practice, one also develops accuracy of the weapon strike, strength in the hands and fingers increases, and overall body control and reflexes improve. Proper weapon training utilizes unused muscles and areas of the brain not normally used in daily activities. This increases one’s overall capability and potential, and can significantly slow down the deterioration (aging) of the mind.

When a practitioner achieves harmony with the weapon (the practitioner and the weapon become one), it results in tremendous benefits for both the mind and body. Throughout history practitioners have reached enlighten-ment through proper weapons training; these forms and techniques are taught to qualified practitioners.

Instructors have titles based on the rank they have achieved, which is, in turn, a reflection

of their skill, ability, and martial arts knowledge. In the Oom Yung Doe school environ-

ment, practitioners refer to one another by title and first name. For example, “Instructor

David” or “Head Instructor Sarah” (you can see a full list of Oom Yung Doe instructor

titles below) Titles are used out of respect for the martial arts lineage, and to keep the

learning environment formal and focused.

Training is meant to be challenging, interesting and fun. It has

always been a challenge to follow the path of correct Moo Doe

knowledge. But it is from challenges that we learn and grow, as

we strive to reach our full potential. It is the desire of all the

instructors to see you reach your goals, and your full potential

mentally and physically.

20

THE PATH TO BLACK BELT

Some students begin training with a desire to reach an Oom Yung Doe Black Belt while others have

no initial interest in a degree, and simply want to try out martial arts. Whether you train for a few

years or a few months, if you apply yourself, you can improve in numerous ways.

Achieving the level of 1st Degree Black Belt in Oom Yung Doe signifies a strong core of mental,

physical, and spiritual understanding that will enhance every aspect of your life. It is a gift that you

give to yourself - a gift that you will carry with you throughout your life, and one that you will forev-

er be able to tap into.

On the Path to Black Belt, you will be challenged. Your body will change. Your mind will change.

Your daily life will change – all for the better. When you start to realize the benefit of those changes,

you will naturally start to challenge yourself more, and you will grow. That is the power of Oom

Yung Doe training.

Achieving 1st Degree takes about 2-3 years. A student needs to attain skill with core eight martial

arts curriculum movements, and similar to a college degree where a student chooses a major, in

Oom Yung Doe a student needs to develop at least one specialty. Specialty training is taught directly

from the Master Level Teaching Team through Chung Hyungs, or key forms.

THE 4-LEVEL TRAINING SYSTEM

The 4-Level Training System

The Oom Yung Doe training system features multi-

ple levels of instructors divided into four teams,

ranging from 1st Degree Black Belt Instructors all

the way to traditional martial arts Masters who have

learned directly from Grandmaster “Iron” Kim. A

true traditional martial arts Master is extremely rare,

and one of the unique aspects of Oom Yung Doe

training is that every student, regardless of skill level,

has an opportunity to learn directly from the Master

Level Teaching Team.

21

INSTRUCTORS REGIONAL TEAM NATIONAL TEAM MLT

The 4-Level Training System—Each team is responsible for a different aspect of a students training.

Each team’s role in student training can be broadly described as follows:

MASTER LEVEL TEACHING TEAM SEMINARS

Master Level Teaching Team Seminars For Personalized Specialties

Taught directly by the MLT TEAM to all levels of instructors and students

The Oom Yung Doe line of martial arts presents a unique possibility – the opportunity to learn directly

from a traditional martial arts Master, or Chong Sa Bu. This level of instruction is rare in East Asia, let alone

the United States. It is the fastest way to develop remarkable levels of skill and ability.

Oom Yung Doe teaches 360 key foundation movements that develop the mind, body, and spirit. Each key

form (Chung Hyung) taught by the MLT Team has a high concentration of key movements that unite a stu-

dent’s mind and body and advance skill and ability at a much faster rate than rudimentary techniques alone.

In traditional martial arts, practitioners throughout history have specialized in various skills. With MLT Team

Seminars, you can too. As a beginning student, you can enroll in a Chung Dan Hyung or other MLT Training

Seminar. Each Chung Dan Hyung movement emphasizes different abilities, but regardless of what you

choose to focus on, if you practice, you will improve your overall condition dramatically.

CHUNG DAN HYUNG SEMINARS

CHUNG JHOONG HYUNG SEMINARS

Chung Dan Hyung forms are the most powerful, completely balanced short forms that can be ab-sorbed by all body types and conditions. Because Chung Dan Hyung forms are completely balanced, the movement will become your own and your mind and body will come together as one. These forms are required for entry into State and Regional Level Traditional Martial Arts tournaments. Following the tradition and correct path (Chung Doe) of true Martial Arts throughout the centuries. It is vital that these forms are taught by a true grandmaster and/or master who can clearly demon-strate their incredible level of skill and ability. Championship Coaching, taught by the Master Level Teaching team, incorporates centuries proven

training methods that enable one to achieve the highest level of Traditional Martial Art skill & abil-

ity. As a follow up to Chung Dan Hyung Seminars, the championship coaching takes your form and

development to a much higher level by teaching you how to practice the movement taught in the

Chung Dan Hyung Seminar according to your body type. This level of instruction can only be

taught by a qualified Master and allows one to fully "digest" and absorb the movement; providing

the fastest way to achieve a medal in a Traditional Martial Arts Championship Tournament.

Chung Jhoong Hyung builds upon an existing Chung Dan Hyung. The training consists of three

components. Review of the Chung Dan Hyung, new movements will be passed, and, advancing the

skill and ability of the practitioner to fit the Chung Jhoong Hyung to reality.

Traditional Moo Doe Weeklong Seminar programs will consist of specific balanced movements that

allow the practitioner to receive the most benefit from the environment. These movements are very

powerful and can be quickly absorbed allowing the practitioner to obtain a tremendous condition in

just one week’s time – leading to improved health and longevity.

10 Unique Environments

Each natural environment has its own unique energies and benefits for training allowing the practi-

tioner to develop the full benefits from the movements – inner strength, connection of mind & body,

and fully harmonizing the body.

There are approximately 10 different ideal natural environments, including the ocean, mountains, for-

est, and desert all of which have many variable combinations of vegetation, ground elevation, etc.

Over the centuries, true masters chose to practice in specific environments in order to absorb different

energies and the methods/techniques that fit these specific environments, thereby allowing them to

achieve master level.

Oom Yung Doe will continue to teach only the Chung Doe line of Traditional Moo Doe. Currently, in

the United States, only a small number of schools are able to teach and demonstrate Traditional Moo

Doe skill and ability. Students will see live Traditional Moo Doe demonstrations with explanations

from the Master Level Teaching Team. They will clearly experience the incredible strengths of Tradi-

tional Moo Doe movements. What you see demonstrated in these movements are the skills and abili-

ties you can achieve, allowing you to reap lifelong benefits.

NAE GONG: THE ROOT OF TRADITIONAL MOO DOE SKILLS AND ABILITIES

Traditional Moo Doe Grandmasters and Masters have been known throughout the centuries for their

demonstrations of incredible skills and abilities. The root of their amazing strength and incredible

youthful and healthy condition comes from their ability to increasingly build their core root of Nae

Gong. Nae Gong, the root of "chi" is the invisible, internal strength that gives life to all humans. Nae

Gong development is centered deep in the abdomen and is built upon with each technique. Deeply

developing Nae Gong for unlimited chi energy can only be achieved through proper techniques which

are unique to Traditional Moo Doe or Traditional Martial Arts. Nae Gong Foundation Training

(consisting of 72 techniques: 36 internal and 36 external) requires internal and external techniques to

be practiced consecutively and with proper breathing techniques. Each individual's Nae Gong devel-

opment differs, because everyone absorbs the proper techniques differently based on their condition.

These lessons are included at the Weeklong, through Certified Training - for 2nd Degree and higher,

and through Total Body Conditioning programs.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO YOU?

Did you ever wonder why, even as you watch your diet and exercise, it gets increasingly harder to

maintain a strong, healthy and balanced condition as you age? This is what many accept as normal ag-

ing and/or common body problems. The average person reaches their "prime" strength in their 20's;

this strength allows one's body to naturally heal itself from any detrimental activity that has adversely

affected the body's condition. Past this point, the body increasingly loses more of its natural ability to

re-balance itself as each year goes by. Within 3 to 4 months of neglecting muscles, or improper devel-

opment, an off-balanced condition causes damage to the body’s natural cycle of chi. Thus, creating a

compounding, negative affect or a negative downward spiral, resulting in muscle loss and the buildup

of toxins. Initially, this causes a loss of muscle and joint strength, and in the long-term it can result in

the decrease of organ system functions, loss of range of motion, along with many muscle and joint

related problems; all of which lead to increased internal weakness and ultimately a decreased overall

condition.

With the development of Nae Gong, balancing your body and allowing the body’s natural cycle to be

healthy can reverse the negative downward spiral and greatly slow down this aging process. By devel-

oping Nae Gong you can have the self-harmonizing abilities to rebalance your body with amazing self-

healing affects, which will greatly benefit your health and your daily activities for the rest of your life.

The theory of Bagwa (also referred to as Bagua or Pa Kua) encompasses the nature of the universe,

the relationships of the energies therein, and the relationship of Oom and Yung (yin and yang).

The Oom Yung line of Bagwa consists of 360 techniques that were derived from nature’s elements

and the movements of various animals. Bagwa training enables you to move your body like a coiled

spring, smoothly and lightly, but with tremendous speed and power. Bagwa develops the ability to

strike in multiple directions. This training develops very powerful offensive and defensive movements

that develop both internal and external strength.

Bagwa, literally translated means “eight trigrams;” the trigram symbols represent all natural phenome-

na. The Bagwa diagram is the result of the ancient binary system (Oom and Yung), and is derived

from the I-Ching, the ancient Chinese Book of Changes. Bagwa as a martial art is based on the theory

of continuous change in response to a given situation. It

is an internal from of Traditional Moo Doe (or Tradition-

al Martial Arts) that sharpens reflexes and cultivates the

understanding of one’s mind and body. Just as Feng Shui

is used as a tool to enhance positive Chi (energy)

throughout one’s external environment, Bagwa, through

movement, increases the circulation of positive Chi with-

in the body, in order to naturally harmonize one’s mind

and body.

BAGUA PROGRAM

IRON HAND PROGRAM

Iron hand is the development of incredible

strengths in the muscles, bones and joints

of the hands and wrists. When desired, the

muscles can become like hard rubber and

the hands and wrists can be utilized in un-

expected offensive and defensive situations

with full coordination, flexibility, strength,

and accuracy in striking. Once developed,

the striking power is like a hammering piece of iron. During daily activities the muscles of the hands

and wrists are very soft and have a very comfortable feeling, each finger is roundly shaped and the

skin retains a smooth, radiant texture. Historically, practitioners that have reached a higher level of

Iron Hand have been known to demonstrate this ability by leaving their handprint in solid stone.

At a traditional martial arts tournament, practitioners show their skills

through demonstrating forms or techniques learned. Unlike many

competitions, where participants compete against one another, in a

traditional martial arts tournament, each contestant is judged against

the centuries-proven standards of proper martial arts development.

Because of this, there may be many gold medal winners at a single

tournament, or there may be no winners at all, depending upon the

skill levels demonstrated.

The goal of a tournament is to challenge yourself, or “win over your-

self.” By improving yourself, you change your reality for the better.

Since all participants are competing to improve themselves, and not competing against one another,

the atmosphere at a tournament is one of comradery and support.

In Oom Yung Doe, you will learn powerful forms that can change your skill and condition quickly.

But you can only attain benefits through practice – you must digest what you are taught. Students

that enter, practice, and compete in tournaments take on a personal commitment to improve and

benefit accordingly.

Tournaments have multiple levels: Local, State, Regional and National. Any student can enter into a

Local Tournament with specific forms learned in daily group lessons. To enter a State Tournament, a

practitioner needs a Chung Hyung level form, learned from the Master Level Teaching Team. To

compete at levels above the State Tournament, participants need to qualify.

Knowing yourself comes from testing and challenging yourself. A test is a tool with which you can learn about

your strengths and weaknesses. Once you have identified these areas, you can work toward improving them.

Through this process, you gain a better understanding of your capabilities, which leads to improved confidence.

Confidence is the key to unlocking your potential. It builds self-respect and helps you manage adversity. Skill

and ability are important, but in order to accomplish anything, you must have the confidence to act decisively

using these skills and abilities. Insecurity leads to indecision, and indecision can turn success into failure. The

confidence you gain through testing yourself will stay with you and serve you throughout your entire life.

On the Path to Black Belt, a student tests seven times. During test preparation and the test itself, instructors help

students evaluate strengths and weaknesses, and review progress. Upon passing a test, a section of the student’s

belt is dyed black, signifying the progression of skills attained. Upon passing seven tests, the practitioner’s belt is

completely black - a 1st Degree Black Belt. This belt system is a 1500-year-old tradition. Originally, a student's

belt would blacken from their sweat during many hours of earnest practice. The gradual darkening of the stu-

dent's belt is symbolic of the effort and concentration a student uses in their practice, and of the increased skill

and understanding gained as a result.

With steady attendance, a student’s First Section Test (first test) usually occurs about four weeks after training

begins. Test fees and Testing schedules are posted in your school – ask your instructor for more details.
