Martial Arts Taught
Tang Soo Do
Tang Soo Do literally translated “Chinese Hand Way” is a very popular Korean martial art practiced around the world. Tang Soo Do is a composite art of 60% Korean, 30% Northern Chinese and 10% Southern Chinese martial arts. The Japanese occupied Korea from 1909 through 1945 . During that time, the Korean people were not allowed to practice Korean martial arts. In 1945, after World WarII, these restrictions were lifted and many martial artists, including Moo Duk Kwan, founder Hwang Kee began teaching Korean martial arts again. Great Grand Master Hwang Kee combined Tae Kyun and Soo Bahk Do with the Chinese "Tang" method of martial arts and formed Mu Duk Kwan in 1945.
Pyeong Hwa Jeon Sa Do / Hapkido
Pyeong Hwa Jeon Sa Do literally translated means “Way of the Peaceful Warrior” is a hard and soft style of martial art developed by KJN James Stubbs over the course of his 50+ years of training and encouragement of his Hapkido Grand Master. Pyeong Hwa Jeon Sa Do is comprised of Hapkido, Hankido and Kuk Sool, all of these arts have very effective and practical defensive techniques and philosophies. Also Throwing, wrist locks, pressure points, meditation and weapons are taught.
Hapkido
Hapkido is a Korean martial art that emphasizes self-discipline and personal development.
The 3 principles of Hapkido are:
- Yu (Water principle): Being relaxed and flow like water.
- Won (Circular principle): No matter how you may be attacked the circle will get you out
- Hwa (Control of Energy): Remaining relaxed and not directly opposing an opponent's force.
Hankido
Hankido, which draws heavily on hapkido’s circular motions and puts 'effortless self-defense' to the extreme. Hankido is primarily intended to be a defensive martial style and should be used for purely defensive purposes. Because of this, a strict ethical and moral worldview is therefore inherent to hankido. This is manifested in the four basic elements of courtesy, respect, right attitude and the
understanding of one's own center. It is non-competitive and not combat oriented.
Kuk Sool
Kuk Sool Won is a comprehensive system of the traditional Korean martial arts; it is not a 'style' of martial art per se, it incorporates aspects of different martial arts, including Hapkido and others to form a single system known as Kuk Sool in 1958 by Kuk Sa Nim In-Hyuk Suh. Kuk Sool has countless techniques derived from the three branches of traditional Korean martial arts. Kuk Sool is also recognized in the martial arts community as one of the most effective and comprehensive systems of traditional Korean martial arts in existence today
