Focus on discipline, respect, humility and self improvement, mastery and balance of both mind and body. ABOUT ARAFURA MOO DUK KWAN
As a traditional martial art, our goal is to develop every aspect of the self to create a mature human being who totally integrates intellect, body, emotions, and spirit. The style balances both hard external techniques (Weh Gung) and soft internal movements (Neh Gung) to create a balanced and harmonious self-defence style, suitable to all ages and fitness levels. "The basic purpose for training in Soo Bahk Do is not to injure the enemy, but instead to develop a person who is more advanced in both the mental and physical aspects of life. It is based on the various nature principles of Oriental philosophy. This kind of concept contributes to peace and happiness for all mankind." INSTRUCTOR
