When you invest in improving your mind and body, you are strengthening the two greatest assets you were given in this life. The quality of your mind and body determines the quality of your life.
The journey of self discovery is a tremendous opportunity to master your life, not only for your own personal betterment but also for the betterment of everyone in your life.
You have an opportunity to be part of a Bagua Zhang martial arts lineage. The martial (Dae Han) knowledge is 1,700 years old. The medicinal (Dong Han) knowledge is 5,000 years old. When the warriors came back injured from battle, the older warriors or medicine men used their knowledge and experience to heal them.
Traditional martial arts training (“Mu Do” or the “martial path” in the Korean language) not only teaches physical self defense but also uses form and movement for healing based on Eastern medicine principles.
Traditional martial arts differs from the sporting side of martial arts. Sport involves winners and losers and victory comes from defeating others. Traditional martial arts teaches one to overcome their weaknesses. The greatest enemy is one’s self. Success comes from overcoming yourself.
Body Mind Systems students are leaders. They are often doctors, nurses, attorneys, engineers, entrepreneurs, scientists, investors, managers, business owners and parents. They understand that to better lead others, they have to lead themselves first.
As they dramatically develop as a person, many students have used their training to start companies, improve their leadership and management skills, increase their income and gain a promotion at work.

As a new student, you rejuvenate the body through “warrior” training. You learn to discipline your mind and body along with learning self-defense against a physical attacker. Over time, the student extends their longevity through practicing different types of short forms including their kung fu practice. Over time, the student cultivates their qi through their main forms (long forms) as well as their Tai Chi, weapons and Bagua practices.
Training utilizes 3 internal, 3 external and 2 weapon styles (Kong Su Do (Karate/Tae Kwon Do), Aikido/Hapkido (Chin Na), Yudo (Judo), Kung Fu, Bagua Zhang, Tai Chi (Taiji/Qi Gong), Kom Do (Samurai Sword), and Ship Pal Gye (traditional Chinese weapons training)). These styles encompass the major martial arts and medicinal principles one needs to protect the human body at an above average level.
At a higher level, students often teach what they have learned to cultivate their wisdom. This is the start of their “scholar” training to explore in depth how martial arts forms and movements affect one’s mental and physical development. This can only be done through helping others.
Beyond the scholar level, the master student learns the “sage” part of their training and how to perpetuate their knowledge and wisdom through training other Instructors to train other Instructors. The highest level students are always Instructors.
Body Mind Systems is the current generation of an ancient education system that has been translated for the modern American to not only learn and apply the benefits of martial arts, but how to perpetuate martial arts for the benefit of humanity in the future.
