The Master Level Teaching Team demonstrates in East Asia.
The 2026 Traditional Moo Doe Week Long Seminar program will consist of specific balanced movements that allow the practitioner to receive the most benefit from the forest environment of western Washington state. These movements are very powerful and can be quickly absorbed allowing the practitioner to obtain a tremendous condition in just one week’s time – leading to improved health and longevity. The North Bonneville area was selected for the 2026 Week Long Seminar to take advantage of the unique energies of the forest environment.
Each natural environment has its own unique energies and training benefits allowing the practitioner to develop the fully from the movements – inner strength, connection of mind and body, and full harmonization.
There are approximately 10 different ideal natural environments, including the ocean, mountains, forest, and desert all of which have many variable combinations of vegetation, ground elevation, etc. Over the centuries, true masters chose to practice in specific environments in order to absorb different natural energies. Various methods and techniques fit these specific environments, which enhances training.
Oom Yung Doe continues to teach only the Chung Doe line of Traditional Moo Doe. Currently, in the United States, only a small number of schools are able to teach and demonstrate Traditional Moo Doe skill and ability. Students see live Traditional Moo Doe demonstrations with explanations from the Master Level Teaching Team. They experience the incredible strengths of Traditional Moo Doe movements. What you see demonstrated in these movements are the skills and abilities you can achieve, allowing you to reap lifelong benefits.
Some of the Chung Hyungs, foundations, and techniques being taught at the 2026 Week Long Seminar include:
Chung Su Doe is a straight, double-edged sword with a sharp point. The movements are soft, hard, quick and slow developing flexibility, coordination, speed, and accuracy. To achieve excellent mental and physical development, the mind, body and weapon must come together as one. The benefits of this form include mental sharpness, improved circulation, speed, accuracy, added strength, focus and the security necessary to win over everyday challenges for a more peaceful and better quality of life.
Tuksuli Bope is eagle form. The eagle is known for its speed, grace and precision in flight and its powerful claws as it descends upon its prey. The practitioner must bring to life these qualities within the form in order to inherit these qualities within themselves. Through proper and consistent practice one realizes an overall balanced development of strength and flexibility in the upper, middle and lower areas of the body.
Pal Gae Quan is a set of key foundation movements unique to Oom Yung Doe. These movements develop an internal and external foundation for all Hyung and are a key part of the development of Bagwa Chung. Pal Gae is practiced for building the proper foundation to enable the practitioner to fit into all the various movements of Oom Yung Doe. When practicing Pal Gae movements, the body switches positions in all directions: East, West, North, and South.
Practicing Pal Gae balances the entire body from the top, middle to low, and front to back. Every joint and muscle throughout the body is developed and strengthened for flexibility, coordination, and strength.
Proper practice of Pal Gae will increase circulation and oxygen throughout the body, improve focus and vision, develop bone strength evenly throughout the entire body, and condition the bones and joints of the spine to be in perfect alignment.
Week long participants will receive Championship Level adjustments that allow the mind, body, and movement to quickly come together as one (Pyramid Power). These adjustments:
Bagua training enables you to move your body like a coiled spring, smoothly and lightly, but with tremendous speed and power. This form includes offensive and defensive movements that develop both internal and external strength. Some of the benefits of Bagua include:
This year’s seminar will include Traditional Moo Doe moving meditation (one of eight methods). Practice of this movement at the week long seminar can allow students to achieve a strong connection between the mind and body with as little as fifteen minutes of practice (the actual time will depend on the individual student). Practice over the course of the week will reduce the effects of stress, increase focus and increase mental acuity. You will immediately feel the difference.
The proper technique enables the practitioner to utilize their full body strength. By learning to effectively use one’s entire body, it is commonly known that even a 90-pound woman that has absorbed this technique could easily knock down a 250-pound man. The practice of proper technique is also known to quickly increase chi that harmonizes the internal system while developing deep joint and muscle strength throughout the body while maintaining flexibility.
This year’s seminar will feature advanced Nae Shim Gong techniques to quickly control stress and relax the mind.
Without purifying your mind, body and soul it is extremely difficult to achieve your ultimate condition or your maximum level of mental and physical skill and ability.
Through Nae Shim Gong you gain the power to develop a high level of physical, mental and spiritual strength and ability. Oftentimes, many people do not realize what proper meditation consists of. If the proper methods of meditation – Shim Gong or Chom Sun – are unknown then it is nearly impossible to purify your soul; it is as if you were trying to reach a destination without the proper map, if you do not know where you are going, you cannot find your destination.
In today’s society, there are so many people who wish to better themselves by purifying, strengthening and unifying their mind, body and spirit. However, those who focus solely on reading and memorizing meditation techniques and teachings do not realize that the best way to reach a higher spiritual level is to purify their soul. History has proven that by purifying yourself you are able to set your ground and become rooted, which ultimately gives you the wisdom and strength to change your reality. Therefore you gain the ability to balance with society in order to maintain a happier daily life even in a world filled with stress and constant pressure.
Throughout history many people have wished to attain inner peace and achieve a high level of spirituality. In order to learn correctly many individuals search to find a venerated master who has reached a very high level of spirituality and awakening who is thereby able to teach them the proper principles and methods. Learning the proper techniques and principles are of utmost importance. If your technique and understanding is not correct it is almost impossible to purify yourself in order to attain inner peace and strength.
History has proven that Traditional Moo Doe is one of the fastest, safest and most effective ways to learn proper Nae Shim Gong techniques and principles.
Throughout the centuries, masters of Traditional Moo Doe have researched and developed proper movements that quickly lead to a higher physical, mental and spiritual condition. Traditional Moo Doe movements are known to remove negativity from all aspects of one’s life leaving only room for positive. A philosophy of Traditional Moo Doe states that if you have time to make excuses about what you have not achieved, use that time to improve your ability and reach your full potential. Ultimately, good habits lead to good character and a good character allows you to change your reality for the better. If you do not use your full ability, how do you expect a more outstanding life?
History has proven that the teachings of Traditional Moo Doe are very highly sought after because a practitioner can bring the mind, body, and spirit together. Through this you are able to reach your fullest potential and develop incredible strength and peace while extending your youthfulness, increasing your longevity, and extending your years of full activity. Traditional Moo Doe allows practitioners of any age or body type to quickly improve their condition. This is important because you can train your entire life and never develop to your fullest potential unless you learn how to develop properly. Finding the proper path is most important. Effort given to movements that do not fit one’s individual needs and age produce limited, short-term benefits. According to Traditional Moo Doe, it is extremely important to witness a practitioner’s skill and ability before you begin your practice. If a practitioner is unable to show that they have achieved a high level of skill and ability it is impossible for them to teach others. This is what separates non-traditional martial arts practitioners from Traditional Moo Doe practitioners.
Instructors and students practice at the 2025 Week Long Seminar
It is common to hear people say that they are too busy to properly take care of themselves. Neglecting yourself eventually leads to mental, physical, and spiritual pain, as well as pain that extends on to your loved ones. Maintaining yourself is the key to maintaining your success, because if you lose yourself you will lose all that you have built and all that you have acquired.
One of the main reasons that Traditional Moo Doe is valued so highly is due to the fact that through your practice you can immediately increase your chi and harmonize your condition. Eventually you will attain the ability to diagnose your own condition in order to prevent illness; you will gain the ability to harmonize and correct any mental or physical imbalance. By practicing, you will have a more balanced physical, mental, and spiritual condition. Remember, life is filled with ups and downs so it is important to maintain balance. As you begin to see your condition continuously improve, the strength that you gain through your practice will become available to you at all times during all circumstances of life. With a balanced condition you will be able to change your reality for the better; this is the challenge of life.
Worldwide, millions of people have benefited through Traditional Moo Doe.

Herbal equipment and extracts that have been used for centuries by higher Moo Doe practitioners, when used in conjunction with proper movement, will enable every person, regardless of age or condition, to accelerate and increase their level of internal and external strength.
