DahnMuDo

The Art of Being Limitless

DahnMuDo is an energy-based, non-combative, healing martial art, with roots dating back thousands of years into Korean history. In Korean, "Dahn" means energy. "Mu" means "martial," or "limitless" and "Do (Tao)" means, "the way," or, "the ultimate truth. DahnMuDo is therefore also known as "The Art of Being Limitless”. Its mind-body training methods combine martial arts movements with universal energy principles to help practitioners circulate blood and energy through the body, and recover the natural balance and rhythm of the body and mind. Its goal lies in training the body and mind to become one.

While similar to other Asian practices such as QiGong, in terms of circulating energy throughout the body, DahnMuDo is different. Rather than focusing on the external environment, i.e. one's opponent, or on technical, difficult techniques as with Qigong, DahnMuDo encourages participants to focus inside, to develop their own internal energy and power. Therefore, anyone can enjoy it, from age 8 to age 88. DahnMuDo focuses on the 18 major joints of the body, adjusting the hip joints, pelvis and spine. Correcting the physiological structure of the body allows fresh, oxygenated blood to circulate properly to all joints and internal organs, improving one's overall health and sense of well-being. As a result, DahnMuDo practice can be extremely beneficial for those with weak or stiff joints, those who want to improve their balance or lose weight and those who simply want to feel more comfortable in their bodies without some of the physical contact elements found in Qigong.

One Posture Can Change Your Life

Every posture in DahnMuDo has a practical application to the every day life of the practitioner that can help them achieve their personal goals. For example, 'One Foot Upright Stance' stimulates left-right brain activity. This can be particularly effective for those who have to remember or study a lot. 'One Line Stance' creates a very prompt response in the brain and quickly stimulates mind-body communication. This posture can dramatically improve the brain's response time. Similarly, the other postures and practices of DahnMuDo training have underlying benefits that will ultimately improve a person's productivity, effectiveness and confidence.
