What is Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan?
Soo Bahk Do is the technical aspect, while the Moo
Duk Kwan is the philosophical. The name "Bahk"
originated in the age of Chun Chu (2700 years ago) according to
the Moo Yei Dobo Tong Ji, which is one of the oldest records of
Korea's martial arts. "Soo Bahk" (combat with bare hands
and feet) is the only Korean martial art handed down from the
Ko Ku Ryo Dynasty, thereby making it the oldest Korean martial
art (aprox. 2,000 years old)
Moo Duk Kwan means "Institute of Martial Virtue," and
is the organization behind our martial art. Over 200,000 Soo Bahk
Do practitioners share the philosophy of "world peace through
improved human relations." Our curriculim systematically
teaches this principle as well as technique that is continuously
passed down from our certified senior instructors. We are committed
to the standardization of teachings worldwide, which ensures the
preservation of our living art.
Soo Bahk Do has much to offer people of all ages, interests,
physical abilities, and walks of life. In addition to its many
physical applications, Soo Bahk Do also offers unique tools for
promoting harmony and eliminating conflict in life.
