One of the rarest and oldest forms of Korean
Martial Arts, Chung Do Mu Sool
Won, was taught to the ancient and elite Korean Guard. It was used for the sole purpose of
protecting Korean nobility, their families and the borders around their
kingdoms. The responsibility of guarding the hierarchical ruling class of a
principality was no easy task. The discipline they practiced not only had to
work in one-on-one conflicts, but it also needed to be successful over superior
numbers on the battlefield.
This elite guard was renowned for their
courage, fighting spirit and superior Martial Arts techniques. The Art of Chung
Do Mu Sool Won found its
roots from an even older Korean Martial art called Tae Kyun
(pushing shoulder/kicking) and Kwon Bup (Fist/ Boxing
art). Chung Do Mu Sool Won
techniques were developed and refined on the battlefield and basically became
one of the first “Mixed Martial Arts” because of this. Dignitaries would travel
to other lands on diplomatic missions with the Royal Army. The Army would then be exposed to new styles,
refined techniques and ideals which where eventually incorporated into their
elite fighting style.
Chung Do Mu Sool Won is a complete traditional Martial Art accompanied
by joint locking, kicking, Korean Boxing, pressure points, ground fighting,
weapons, forms, accupressure and healing arts. It emphasizes efficiency and
effectiveness. This original traditional
Korean Royal Court Martial Art utilizes over 4,000 skills with a smooth and
flexible response that enables an individual to overcome and subdue an
attacker, or several, with minimum effort and maximum results. The joint
locking style is the unique and very effective Chin NA, which is derived from the Monks of China. Chin Na is the
grandfather of all joint locking, Hapkido, Jujitsu,
Judo and submission holds.
For over two thousand years Chung Do Mu Sool Won has been evolving and correcting techniques to
bring the practitioner one of the most realistic and useful Martial Arts
available.
