Yongmudo, Yongmoodo or Yong Moo Do (Korean : 용무도) is a modern hybrid Korean martial art and a combat sport which combines different techniques from Taekwondo, Hapkido, Judo, Kumdo, and Ssireum as well as Boxing and Amateur wrestling.[2] [3] [4]
History
[edit ]Yong-In University was founded in 1953 as a school originally offering studies on Judo. Since then, they have expanded their departments significantly, also creating fields of study for Taekwondo, Kumdo, Hapkido, Ssireum, Boxing and Wrestling.[5] [4] According to the founder of the martial art, Kim Jeong-haeng, Yongmudo was founded in 2001 when the Yong-In University professors from all seven martial arts' departments (mentioned previously) came together to create their own sport and hybrid martial art.[6]
Norman Link believes that Yongmudo "was developed in part because as Taekwondo grew into a dazzling martial sport, it lost most of the other aspects, like self-defense."[7]
Etymology
[edit ]The term Yongmoodo (literally translated as "Dragon Martial Way") comes from the word Hankido which was developed in Korea in 1976. Then the name changed to Kukmodo and then changed to Yongmoodo. Yongmoodo consists of three syllables: 1. YONG means dragon. 2. MU or MOO means martial which refers to fighting or battles and fights including defense and strategic, physical, mental, and physiology aspects. 3. DO means a way of training and a way of life and contains philosophy and the ability to learn from nature, live and fight, against nature.[8]
Features
[edit ]Yongmudo uses various dynamic techniques from martial arts such as Taekwondo, Judo, and Ssirum and is based on physical, psychological, spiritual, and mental training with contemporary scientific knowledge. Yongmudo was developed with an emphasis on education, training and martial arts philosophy. It is a practical self-defense training system, combining most practical techniques from several traditional Korean martial arts as well as other related disciplines. The primary techniques of Yongmudo including offensive and defensive techniques are throwing, grappling and ground techniques from Judo, slamming and holding down from Wrestling, kicking, striking, thrusting, punching and blocking from Taekwondo, and joint locks from Hapkido.[4]
Scientific study
[edit ]A study about the effects of Yongmoodo exercises confirmed that "the functional balance mat for Yongmoodo exercise program could improve the posture alignment pursuant and gait abilities of body imbalance of obese elementary students."[9] Another study concluded that the high intensity yongmudo training could improve the maximum muscle strength of adult males.[10] A study about the turning kicks in Taekwondo and Yongmudo reached the conclusion that the turning kick was performed quicker by the Taekwondo players.[11]
