• Ja Oo Sang Won Chung:
  This training method enables the practitioner to utilize their full body strength by learning to effectively throw their entire body. It is commonly known that even a 90-pound woman that has absorbed this technique could easily knock down a 250-pound man. This form quickly increases chi that harmonizes the internal system while developing deep joint and muscle strength throughout the body while maintaining flexibility.
• Chung Su Won Bong "Sa Chung":
  

  Chung Su Won Bong "Sa Chung" is a training methods of developing "Iron Hand" utilizing sand. The correct practice of "Iron Hand" has been known for many benefits including better circulation, control, flexibility, dexterity, coordination and strength of the hands and wrists. Contrary to the name "Iron Hand", when the muscles of the hands and wrists are relaxed they are very soft, each finger roundly shaped, and the skin retains a smooth, radiant texture; however, when desired the muscles of the hand can become like hard rubber. The strength developed is extremely powerful and can be used effectively in self-defense situations. However it is the great internal and external strength developed through "Iron Hand" training that benefits the daily lives of Moo Doe practitioners. This same strength is one of the reasons that many Moo Doe practitioners, as they grow older, do not have to give up many of the activities that they enjoyed in their youth.

  Through "Iron Hand" training and practice, Moo Doe pressure points on the hands are either pressed using the finger tip or stimulated through the striking techniques. The proper stimulation of these points promotes better function of the internal organs and quickly increasing the energy flow (Chi) throughout the body, leading to a more harmonized mind and body condition.

• Chung Su Tang Bek Bong:
  Chung Su Tang Bek Bong emulates the strength of a volcano exploding in all directions. Through the practice of this form the body will develop the ability to spring from a low to high position while explosively executing offensive and defensive movements. The body turns and twists in all directions developing all aspects of flexibility, coordination, speed, strength, agility, timing and control.
• Chung Su Self Defense: (key movements for actual situations)
  
  • Striking the exact point at correct angle to make the technique effective.
  • Using wrist, elbow, and shoulder
  • Defense from behind and from the front.
  • Defense against 3 different weapons
  Daiz movements
  • Against kick
  • Against punch
• Chung Su Kicking Techniques:
  Proper kicking techniques are very effective self-defense. Kicking techniques promote lower body flexibility, coordination, speed and strength and are an excellent way to control weight.

Historically, Moo Doe masters (i.e. Dahl Ma and Hwa Ta) have been known for their ability to use their skills to help others purify and harmonize their own minds and bodies to prevent and cure illness. Hwa Ta, who was one of the original Moo Doe Masters twenty centuries ago, was one of the most highly skilled doctors of his time and the first documented brain surgeon. However, the more people he cured, the more they surrounded him seeking medical help. He wanted to further his ability to reach more people as he realized that his success with the use of Eastern medical knowledge alone was limited. Confronted with this obstacle, he decided to seek ways to prevent illness by harmonizing the mind and body. He found the answer through developing a higher level of understanding of Moo Doe. By observing animals in their natural habitat, he realized that animals were capable of healing themselves. He concluded that their activity and movement allowed them to maintain their strength and harmony. Hwa Ta then began to develop movements that mimicked that of animals refining them for the maximum benefit to humans. His patients were able to benefit from his research becoming able to maintain the health and harmony of their minds and bodies.

In addition to all the form and movement taught at the Weeklong Moo Doe Seminar, students and instructors had an opportunity to learn more about the history and legends of Traditional Moo Doe. They also had time to practice together and enjoy the many attractions of the San Diego area.
