Many students in the Oom Yung Doe style of martial arts challenge themselves to achieve academic excellence. These efforts are enhanced when the students’ academic schooling is balanced with Oom Yung Doe training to build the mental and the physical strength necessary to achieve their goals. The confidence gained from this strength can assist them in all aspects of daily life. The Oom Yung Doe Scholastic Achievement Award signifies scholastic excellence, which is one of the goals of the students who participate in Oom Yung Doe training. Students learn special movements tailored to guard against the stress and fatigue normally associated with studies and exams.
