What is Moo Duk Kwan
Translated literally from the Korean language, Moo Duk Kwan means "Institute of Martial Virtue". Practitioners know it as the scientific use of the body in methods of self-defence, combined with a philosophy guiding the practitioner towards discovering their full potential.

Soo Bahk Do forges a body towards gaining ultimate use of its faculties, the body speech and mind, through intensive physical and mental training. It is an art of self defence and a living philosophy whose secrets cannot be bought at any price other than serious and rigorous training. It is an art tempered on the lawns of Buddhist monasteries, against the steel of wandering bandits and on the fields of combat, its history is a long and honourable one, and you can be part of it.
