Han Mu Do, the Way of Korean Martial Arts, was developed by Dr. He-Young Kimm in 1989. It focuses on falls, empty hand techniques, weapons, and technical forms. Areas of defense taught include defense against punches, kicks, wrist grabs, cloth and body grabs from the front and behind, and knives. Students learn physical techniques for throwing, locking joints and pressure points, and escorting techniques. Students also learn mental techniques such as Ki (internal energy) breathing and meditation, and are exposed to the thoughtful martial arts philosophy Dr. Kimm built into every Han Mu Do technique.
