Hoi Jeon Moo Sool Philosophy
Hoi Jeon Moo Sool is a very old style comprised of four martial arts:
Hoi Jeon Moo Do (revolving martial art) is an art which uses very precise circular movements through a series of gyrations and is systemized into 3001 self defense techniques. These techniques utilize joint manipulations, arm bars, throws, take-downs, blocks and punches. Self defense is the most important technique of Hoi Jeon Moo Sool.
Jok Sool Do is made up of 7 types of low kicks, 14 types of high kicks, 21 types of special kicks combined with 28 types of attack postures and 70 types of basic motions. It is systemized into 3200 kicking techniques.
Kum Sool Do is a sword art derived from a combination of ancient Korean martial arts, dance and customs. It is made up of 26 kinds of attack posture and 15 types of attack techniques through the use of 41 types of basic motions. It is systemized into 390 techniques.
Bong Sool Do systemizes 577 long stick techniques and 409 short stick techniques by using a method of gyration in order to defend against an attacker most efficiently. Bong Sool Do is a self defense specially designed for adults, particularly for women and older people. The techniques promote mental and physical health, balance control, relaxation of the body and the obtainment of more energy.
Hoi Jeon Moo Sool help develop the brain and regulates blood circulation and nerve systems by stimulation of joints in the body. This art consists of very simple and reasonable movements so that any person, young or old, male or female, can easily practice. These movements help one understand body mechanics by using balance and leverage rather than strength and endurance.
In Hoi Jeon Moo Sool, each technique is built upon, rather than discarded. The most important principles are taught early on and is used extensively even in the Master level. This approach results in a highly organized martial art with the power of circle motion integrated into each technique.
