The art of Soo Bahk Do involves the development of the mind and the body. There are three areas of development that we focus on in our training: Neh Gung (Internal Energy), Weh Gung (External Energy) and Shim Gung (Mental/Spiritual Energy). Neh Gung can be considered our breath during our technique, Weh Gung is our body’s action (use of hip) and Shim Gung is our attitude; our discipline (Moo Do). Our Founder, Kwan Jang Nim Hwang Kee, introduced a systematic and scientific method of training to enable us to realize our full potential. Through this system, each area builds on the next and is progressively more involved. Our art consists of the following training areas:

Ki Cho (Basic Motions)
Hyung (Forms)
Il Soo Sik Dae Ryun (One Step Sparring)
Ho Sin Sool (Self-Defense)
Ja Yu Dae Ryun (Free Sparring)
Kyok Pa (Breaking)
Moo Pahl Dan Khum (Breathing/Energy Exercises)
