Benefits of Training: Shin Moo Hapkido Jung Shin Kwan provides both short-term and long-term physical and psycho-social benefits. The philosophy of Jung Shin Kwanl is based on the importance of human health. From the Sin Moo perspective, health has three realms: the physical, the mental, and the spiritual. Jung Shin Kwan helps students increase their happiness through the achievement of balance in all three domains of life. Physical training begins with Hapkido and at the higher level surpasses physical limitations through Sin Moo. Jung Shin Kwan is not just self defense, it is a way of life.

Internal Development: Hapkido incorporate meditation and relaxation training, learning how to focus and release energy, moving in tandem with a partner as well as striving to excel alone, and achieving mind-body unity(Ripley, 2003). The physical exercise and mastery is, really, the means to a non-physical end. Whether one calls this state of mind enlightenment (Back & Kim, 1981), self-knowledge (Wiley, 1995), or achieving balance (Wiley, 1995), what the practice of martial arts ultimately works toward is a healthy mind, a healthy spirit, and a healthy body (Reid & Croucher, 1995).
The psychological, meditative, and philosophical aspects of our program are geared toward the enhancement of practitioners overall mental health. Through Sin Moo practitioner learns to manage and control stress through breathing and meditation. Breathing exercises help strengthen internal organs which in turn cause and increase in physical and mental energy. The meditative and philosophical practices of Sin Moo positively impact negative behaviors often presented by unruly teens or young adults. Sin Moo’s internal development practices also help individuals work through anxieties, self-esteem, self perception, and self-acceptance difficulties.
Hapkido training has a direct bearing on morality (Becker, 1982, 19), the Eastern philosophies that permeated Hapkido practices encouraged “formation of good moral character” and “non-violent attitudes and behaviors” (Bäck and Kim, 1978, 24). Research on the personalities and lives of Hapkido practitioners focused on their self-esteem and self-image levels, suggested that hapkidoist tend to be psychologically healthy and well-adjusted individuals (Konzak & Klavora, 1980).
Additionally training helps increase concentration and decrease impulsivity as well as hyperactivity issues., By emphasizing discipline, aspiration, commitment, goal setting and assertive communication, Sin Moo training enhances the practitioner’s leadership skills. Sin Moo helps practitioners develop a stronger sense goal pursue and completion. Internal training also improves the practitioner’s verbal conflict resolution skills by teaching the three stages of Hapkido defense; perception, evaluation, and decision/reaction.
External Development: Hapkido practitioners routinely report improved physical well-being and improved self-confidence, as well as many other psychological benefits attributable to training (Boudreau, 1995). As they work, with their body, to master specific techniques, hapkidoist “works on personal character and attitude” (Cerny, 1981, 47). Hapkido fosters in both the adult and teenage practitioner “motivation, discipline, and resultant change” (Brownridge, 1975, 56). In a society suffering from an epidemic of physical inactivity and extreme obesity, So Won Sool promotes an individual’s physical fitness with an emphasis on mind-body training. Our training provides an enjoyable alternative to “traditional exercise” and offers unique opportunities to learn self-defense and martial skills.
