INTRODUCTION
Martial Arts is not to teach how to prevent a fight (moral), nor how to learn the techniques of stopping a fight (self defense). It is rather to learn the truth, to express the truth so learned, and through such enlightenment, not to be involved in an unnecessary fight. Joong Do Ryu is impartiality and independence, neither abundance nor absence. It is to follow heaven's truth, and thereby to have a basic direction to follow in the world. Martial Arts is the Heavens (positive), Joong Do is the earth (negative). Martial Arts is the father, and Joong Do is the mother. Heaven and earth create and control the universe; father and mother create and control the family. Heaven (father) covers everything without prejudice; earth (mother) receives everything without discarding anything. This path of life is the basis of harmony and truth, which brings about the harmony of Martial Arts and Joong Do. This is why we call it Joong Do Ryu.
THEORY OF JOONG DO RYU
Joong Do Ryu (henceforth referred to as J.D.R.) is a Martial Art; its training is founded on the principles of a philosophy of the center, a center found in the middle of a circle within which all things revolve. The three basic technical principles of J.D.R. are: the principle of the way, the circle, and the harmony; that is, to be as soft as the flow of a stream, to be as round as a pearl, and to be one with your opponent. Joong Do Ryu was created and founded by Grand Master Young Seok Kim as the culmination of his many years of experience, teaching, and training in the Martial Arts.
OBJECTIVES OF JOONG DO RYU
Through J.D.R. training, the student learns to use his body as an effective weapon similar to that of a hammer, sword, or a spear. Furthermore, J.D.R. training enhances the mind so that the body and its weapons are not misused through acts of aggression or through actions having no reason or purpose. The practice of J.D.R. allows the student to unite sound mental attitudes and a strong physique to conquer individual weaknesses so that he may achieve a higher state of self.
CONDUCT OF JOONG DO RYU
Everything must have order and must be conducted with that order. If everything is conducted with order this will enable everything (Joong Do Ryu) to be achieved.
TEACHINGS OF JOONG DO RYU
Learning without thinking will not lead to enlightenment.
Thinking without effort will not lead to improvement.
Effort without will will not lead to righteousness.
Will without discipline will not lead to strength.
