Philosophy of Soo Bahk Do
The mission of Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan is to achieve World Peace
through improved human relationships, and the United States Soo
Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation Inc. is uniquely structured to
work toward this goal. It's Charter and Bylaws clearly state that
its purpose is to promote the study, understanding, practice and
public recognition of Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan in as many ways
as possible that are beneficial to the art and the general membership
thus insuring that the Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan "Mission"
will ultimately be accomplished.
Many styles of martial arts teach effective self defense and
combat principles, but simply learning fighting techniques without
a strong philosophy is to burden society with more dangerous individuals.
We use Soo Bahk Do to realize our full potential and emphasize
"Virtue in action" demonstrating courage, discipline,
confidence and humility through our sincere efforts in training
and our behavior towards others. It is this "action philosophy"
that is one of the distinguishing characteristics of Soo Bahk
Do Moo Duk Kwan.
