HOI JEON MOO SOOL LOGO
Our logo consists of three main colors, red, blue, and white. These three colors are symbols of three phenomenons. The red color resembles the sky, the blue color resembles the earth, and the white color, which separates the red and the blue colors, resembles human being. These phenomenons accumulate to make a spiritual power (ki), which is written in Chinese words at the middle of the logo.
THE MEANING OF HOI JEON MOO SOOL: Hoi Jeon Moo Sool means "the revolving martial art." where (Hoi Jeon) means to revolve and (Moo Sool) means martial art. Most of the people think that fighting is synonymous with muscles. However, Hoi Jeon Moo Sool came to break this rule. This "revolving art" uses the opponent's power against him/her.
HISTORY OF HOI JEON MOO SOOL: Korea was founded over four thousand years ago by Dan Goon. Most of the people were farmers at the time, and many had problems with wild animals and foreigners who robbed them and stole their food and belongings. Somehow the people had to learn how to defend themselves and their country. They developed a Martial Art using mainly hand techniques called Soo Bahk Do, and a Martial Art that used mainly foot techniques call Tae Kyun. Another art developed at the time that used farming tools as weapons was called Moo Yei Do. The people of Korea have always had many styles of dancing, games and other customs of a highly developed society. Many of their dances and games used circular motions (Won).
ORIGINS OF HOI JEON MOO SOOL: HOI JEON MOO SOOL is a very old style that uses hand, foot and weapons techniques. The techniques that comprise HOI JEON MOO SOOL were developed from the ancient Martial Art of DOL GAE SOOL.DOL GAE SOOL was founded by King Tae Jo during the Koryo Dynasty of Korea (994-1392 A.D.). King Tae Jo, inspired by the force of circular motions and movements found in nature, developed the art so that the people of his kingdom could defend themselves during the turbulent times of war in the region. The techniques used to develop DOL GAE SOOL and HOI JEON MOO SOOL date back as far as 5,000 years.
PHILOSOPHY OF HOI JEON MOO SOOL: The reason to study any Martial Art is to train the mind and body. When you study a true Martial Art, you will be able to recognize a bad situation and refuse to be a part of it. You will develop a true and confident mind and body through training, which enables them to function as one. Ability doesn't come easy. Ability comes from training hard with a lot of sweat. Train hard and practice your techniques every day, this in turn will help the mind and body to function as one. Every day should be a new challenge and you should try to learn something new. This philosophy will enable you to free yourself from fear of unknown events and dangerous people.
Here's an exercise program:
You can do this pretty easily everyday without a gym and it will begin to work wonders:
Hindu Squats

Back Bridge
Try to do 25-50 hindu squats with the goal of 500 eventually.
Try for 25 straight Hindu Push Ups with the goal of 100-200 eventually.
Go for a 30 second Back Bridge with the goal of reaching 3 minutes.
For a detailed explaination of these exercises go to www.bodybuilding.com and do a search. Or purchase the book Combat Conditioning at www.mattfurey.com .
Also for some good cardio buy a jump rope and use if for 10-30 minutes everyday. Skipping rope burns more calories than jogging on a treadmill or an using a exercise bike.
