ABOUT MUDOIN
_in_an_agricultural_.jpg)
The word MUDOIN (무도인) is Korean for "Martial Artist"
By Martial Artist, we are speaking of those who train with the mindset of a Warrior.
Having strong Character,
Being Compassionate,
Protecting the Weak,
Caring for Loved ones,
Standing up for what is right and just...
and last, but not least...
Forging skills in the fire of HARD training.
OK... all that serious stuff aside, listen up.
Do you rate your bruises? If you get hit hard in training, and are disappointed by how weak the resulting bruise looks a few days later... you might be a MUDOIN.
Speaking of bruises...
Have you ever had a fellow martial artist show you an impressive looking bruise, and respond with: "Nice!"?
Do you spend time wondering about how a joint lock might pop someone's arm out of socket? If one of your buddies somehow got you in said joint lock, do you ponder how you might escape?
If the thought following activities make you smile, you've come to the right place:
Trading punches and kicks with your closest friends.
Hitting a wooden post wrapped in straw .. just because.
Allowing someone to practice throwing you to the ground.
When your one of your friends uses your own shirt to choke you, you compliment them on a good job.
Throwing or choking you friends in return.
You have gone to the Home Depot, or another Home Improvement store at some point in time for ideas on things you might like to break.
Practice learning to take a kick in the leg
Enjoy letting someone punch you in the gut.
Occasionally Imagine everyday items as weapons
Understanding the idea that getting the wind knocked out of you, is bound to happen sooner or later. And that it's mostly your own fault for allowing it to happen.
I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
For some, we might be perceived as crazy, or a bit violent, but what everyday people don't understand about us who strive to train like a warrior is that we do what we do out of love...
Love for our family and friends
Love for good people, and of our country.
Love for the art, and the change it makes in our lives.
A warrior understands that is only OUR responsibility to protect ourselves and others. Assume nobody is coming to help you, so continue to train HARD.
I would like to add this note, if we are on this quest of self-improvement. If we are embarking on this noble journey. I feel as though what we do is a serious pursuit, I also sometimes can take it way too seriously... My goal with this site is to attempt to lighten it up (just a bit). Training with a little bit of humor is fine. It's OK to crack a joke once in a while. Why can't we have fun with it?
The Mission of The MUDOIN is to feed your Inner Warrior with GOOD, SOLID Martial Arts content that will make the most seasoned Martial Artist shed a tear of joy, but also to provide a bit of wit and humor so that same grizzled warrior might get a chuckle or laugh.
Thanks for reading... enjoy your visit.
