"I met with friend who is Chinese and a successful businessman in the food industry. Visiting his restaurant we spoke of martial arts over lunch. I'd been studying Oom Yung Doe for less than 3 months at the time we spoke. He had been studying with different styles and techniques of martial arts for a couple of years, a mixture of Kung Fu and forns of Karate. I thought to myself 'some of the training methods he is speaking about make no sense to me.' I told him that I had looked around at various styles when I discovered Oom Yung Doe. After explaining my understanding of the 8 styles taught in Oom Yung Doe, he was intrigued. Realizing that I was at ground level in my training, I demonstrated 5 forms I had learned. To say the least, he was shocked and from his mouth came the words 'I'm jealous. How could you learn all that in several months... those are high level forms of Kung Fu - I don't even know those.' Since I have started training in Oom Yung Doe, some of the immediate benefits have been increased flexibility, loss of weight (over 20 lbs), and stress reduction. My job is very stressful and after leaving my lessons the stress is completely gone. In addition, the training has gotten rid of the carpael tunnel pain I had experienced in my wrist and elbows from the constant daily typing I do. For the past 6 months the pain in my wrist has prevented me from doing many things I wanted to do. What I discovered in studying Oom Yung Doe is this: It is a place where one's ego has no place. The patience and fortitude of the individuals who, over the centuries, have given themselves to the study of mind and body through movement and techniques and the unique way of passing it to those who follow, is a strength of the Oom Yung Doe line of martial arts. Through practice, one can discover the benefits of Oom Yung Doe in health, self-defense, and a greater sense of self respect and respect for others."

The tension in your shoulders releases. Your breath deepens without thinking about it. Your joints move through ranges you had forgotten existed. The muscles surrounding your bones relax, and your body settles into a state it has not felt in years. By the end of the lesson, the chatter in your head is gone and your body feels like it belongs to you again. This is what students describe after their first week of training.

Most martial arts train one way. Over time, the body pays for it. Hard styles wear down the joints. Soft styles alone never develop true power. The Oom Yung Doe system has carried the solution to this problem for many years: eight martial arts harmonized as one, so the body is strengthened without being broken down.

Kong Su develops linear power, sharp strikes, and mental discipline. Kung Fu builds circular, flowing movement rooted in nature; the body learns to generate power from any direction. Aikido trains joints, pressure points, and controlled redirection for close-proximity self-defense. Tai Chi develops internal energy and regulates the nervous system through slow, deliberate movement. Bagwa Chung builds internal strength and multi-directional awareness through circular walking patterns. Kom Do (Samurai Sword), the way of the sword, refines mental focus and precision by extending the mind through a weapon. Udo teaches ground movement, throws and the redirection of an opponent's momentum. Ship Pal G*e is the mastery of eighteen traditional weapons and forms; the highest level of coordination in the system.

Practiced separately, each style would strengthen certain areas while neglecting others. Harmonized as one, within the correct lineage, they balance the body completely. Hard and soft, internal and external, upper and lower, linear and circular; nothing is overdeveloped and nothing is left behind. This is why students in their fifties and sixties move with greater ease than they did decades earlier, and why the practice builds the body up over a lifetime rather than wearing it down.

In East Asian tradition, students have always cared for the space where they train. This is not a chore; it is a principle carried across centuries. The student who cleans the practice room is learning something that cannot be taught through movement alone: humility, respect for shared space, and the understanding that discipline extends into every action.

Through correct practice, students cleanse themselves internally; releasing tension, restoring the body, clearing the mind. When the lesson ends, that same care turns outward. They clean the school together, leaving it a better place to train for themselves and for every student who walks in after them. The internal and the external reflect one another.

Youth training matters because it builds skills that carry into the rest of a child’s life, such as focus, discipline, confidence, and the ability to handle pressure with composure.

Tournaments are a big part of that growth. Getting out in front of others teaches kids how to manage nerves, stay present, and give their best effort even when it feels uncomfortable. They learn how to prepare, how to recover from mistakes, and how to keep going.

At Oom Yung Doe, our youth tournaments are not combat-style. Instead we focus on hyung or forms. Students demonstrate the skill, ability, progress, strength, and coordination that they have built through hard work. The goal is always to become better than who you were before, not to beat someone else.

Grandmaster “Iron” Kim always said, “Winning over others is victory, but winning over yourself is success.”

That is a lesson that stays with them. DM us to learn more.

Agility is not only a martial arts skill; it is a life skill. The ability to see something coming and respond before the mind has time to hesitate serves our students far beyond the practice room. Our instructors and students carry countless stories of moments where trained reflexes protected them in ordinary life: catching a falling object before it strikes someone, reacting on a job site before an injury occurs, sensing a danger in a crowd before it arrives.

This is what correct training develops over time. The eyes learn to read movement. The body learns to respond without delay. These are not qualities reserved for self-defense alone; they are qualities that follow a student into every environment they enter.

"I am a former Tae Kwon Doe student/instructor and joined the Kirkland Oom Yung Doe school a little over a month ago. Already I am getting more out of this training than I did at my other school! It is not say that what I learned and taught before is not valuable, because it is, but Oom Yung Doe goes much deeper than the simplicity of the style I was training in before. Since this school incorporates 8 styles of traditional martial arts (including Tae Kwon Doe) I am finding that I am expanding my understanding of movement, principle and self confidence much faster than I did before. Every class is fun and challenging. The students are excited throughout the hour lesson, which makes the experience so much more enjoyable. The instructors are knowledgeable, welcoming, organized and willing to answer any questions. There is nothing hidden here, which I greatly appreciate. Also I have a current injury in my lower back, which I was able to discuss with instructors and we came up with movements that I could do to help heal my injury and I could continue training. Over the past month, I have gone from not being able to twist or do rolls, to being able to do both without pain. I would absolutely recommend this school to anyone, either for themselves or for their children!"
