Soo Bahk Do is an ancient, traditional Korean martial art comprising hand and foot techniques. The art is renowned for its disciplined approach and emphasis on the tradition and technical aspects of martial art.
Like most traditional martial art systems, Soo Bahk Do has unlimited horizons. Consistent training leads to improvement not only in physical ability, such as flexibility, strength, stamina and speed, but also mental focus and application of will. These benefits develop a sense of calm and quiet confidence in the practitioner.
Soo Bahk Do is one of the most popular forms of Korean martial art. Hundreds of thousands of martial artists practice the art around the world. The World Headquarters are located in Seoul, Korea under the direction of Grandmaster, Hwang Kee. The UK Soo Bahk Do Federation oversees the activities of the UK clubs and is a member of the European Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation. Seminars are held in the UK and other countries each year, which gives practitioners the opportunity to meet students from other countries and to train under the guidance of renowned Masters of the art. Meeting people and developing friendships is an important part of the martial art. |
