| "The 5 Moo Do values are the backbones of our proud Moo Do identity."
These values coexist interdependently with each element strengthening the meaning of the other four.
When we apply the 5 Moo Do values to our daily training we strengthen our self not only as a Moo Do practitioner, but also as an individual who provides a positive influence within our society." Grandmaster H.C. Hwang

Song of the Sip
Sam Seh
The
13 Influences or Postures | Never neglect any of the Sip Sam Seh. The
source of the will is in the waist. Pay attention to the slightest
change from full to empty. Let energy flow through the whole body
continuously. Stillness embodies motion, motion stillness. Seek
stillness in motion. Surprising things will happen when you meet your
opponent. Give awareness and purpose to every movement. When done
correctly all will appear effortless. At all times pay attention to
the waist. Relaxed clear awareness of abdomen, the energy can be
activated. When the base of the spine is erect, energy rises to the
top of the head. The body should be flexible. Hold the head as if
suspended from a string. Keep alert and seek the meaning and purpose
of your art. Bent and stretched, open and closed, let nature take its
course. Beginners are guided by oral teaching. Gradually one
applies himself more and more. Skill will take care of itself. What
is the main principle of the martial arts? The mind is the primary
actor and the body the secondary one. What is the purpose and
philosophy behind the martial arts? Rejuvenation and prolonging of
life beyond the normal span. So an eternal spring. Every word of
this song has enormous value and importance. Failing to follow this
song attentively, you will sigh away your time. |
