What is Yun Jung Do? The Search For Truth

What is Yun Jung Do? - The Search For Truth

Quite simply, Yun Jung Do is a culmination of its Founder, Grandmaster Yun’s lifetime of martial arts experience, research and knowledge.

Yun Jung Do is the art of total human development. It is a carefully planned program of exercising physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions with the ultimate purpose of enriching and enhancing one’s life. As a discipline, Yun Jung Do goes beyond the traditional boundaries of a martial art. To begin with, it encompasses much more than just the physical aspects of a martial art.
This may have been acceptable for the last few decades, but in light of today’s rapidly changing times and gradually disintegrating culture, there is a strong need for an art form with a true philosophical base – one that emphasises continual self-cultivation and refinement. It should promote a genuine care and love for fellow human beings, not try to encourage aggression and a “win only” attitude. Yun Jung Do has been developed to meet this need. It sets new standards as a “Human Art”.

As such, it focuses on the individual as an intellectual human being with a desire to improve the quality of his life. Yun Jung Do is based on Grandmaster Yun’s personal belief that a martial art should centre on the development of the individual. Its ultimate goal is to continuously strive to develop the positive qualities within each of us. This includes self-discipline, patience, confidence, compassion, humility, inner calm, and consistent motivation through a developed positive mental attitude.

From a technical viewpoint, Yun Jung Do’s physical aspects are also very important. It is the only system to effectively combine modern scientific principles with traditional teachings to produce a unique blend of old and new.

Martial Art practitioners of today need to take a close look at themselves and question whether they are satisfied with all aspects of their marital art. Some practitioners are only now beginning to realise that the field of martial arts is at a dead end. This is due to the fact that nearly all martial artists have failed to address the need of today’s practitioners. In most cases, the same ineffective, impractical techniques that have been used for centuries are still being practiced today. No development have been made and in a world where needs are constantly changing, it seems inappropriate to learn an ineffective style simply for the sake of tradition.

Fundamentally, Yun Jung Do is physical techniques are based on the human body and its natural movement and rhythms. As a result, the style is fluent, explosive and powerful, yet, more importantly, rich with the true spirit of martial arts. Not only are the movements designed to express the philosophy of the art, but also designed to reflect the physical and mental state of the practitioner. Another advancement of Yun Jung Do is its uniquely designed non-contact, non-competitive teaching system that enables students to learn effective self-defense skills within a non-threatening environment. Where most people are intimidated by the aggression of a martial art, Yun Jung Do is an art form everyone can enjoy. This is where Yun Jung Do’s greatest strength lies.

As an art form, there is no doubt that Yun Jung Do excels in meeting the needs of today’s practitioners. Through Yun Jung Do, an exciting vision for the future has been created. As people from around the globe join to enjoy its numerous benefits, Yun Jung Do will continue to grow and forge new directions as the Human Art of the Future.
