SHINMU KUMDO

Kumdo, derived from Japanese Kendo, is a modern martial art discipline originating from Korea. The Kumdo schools still invoke the “O-Gae” or “Five tenets and the modern rendition of this code is as follows. Be loyal and faithful to your country and organization. Be faithful and respectful to your parents and elders. Be faithful and respectful to your friends and colleagues. Be confident and show courage when faced with injustice. Be benevolent.

The programme offers children, youth and adult to relieve daily stress thru both the physical training and meditation. Physical training is able to increase muscular strength, endurance, weight management and reduce health risk. Meditation enhances the mental concentration, resilience, patience and reducing of negative emotions.

Shinmu’s logo consist of the 12 Chinese Zodiac on the exterior circle, and the three-legged crow (Samjogo) in the center. Samjok-o is believed to inhabit and represent the sun, and it is highly regarded as a symbol of power, even superior to both the Dragon and the Korean bonghwang (Phoenix). The three feet refers to heaven, earth, and people together (Chinese: 天,地,人, hangul: 천지인) It is the most ideal natural order for heaven and earth to become one and live in harmony.
