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.
