■What is the reality of Energy in the martial arts in the universe ?

■What is the reality of Energy  in the martial arts in the universe ?

 ■What is the reality of Energy  in the martial arts in the universe ?

f2

 

Through 2016 Finnish Haedong Kumdo Summer Camp, we all had a great time to practice many kinds of new stuffs in HK at the inside and outside of  gyms, especially at the Suomalian Island as well as we enjoyed so much to drink and talk at the resturant and into the Sauna etc. every day and night, also especially visited to Sibelious house at the Jarvenpaa city.

The Byuel Hyung(Star forms, 별형) learned this time has to be able to obtain the universal Consciousness for better life and better spiritual growth through JSKR-HK Training. It is a training physically and a study for cultivating mind mentally as well.

It is a core of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu Haedong Kumdo Training  for developments and enhancement of  body & mind, Spirit.

1. Universal consciousness

 

1)First,
know yourself on and on.

2)Second,
recognize yourself lies in the universe

as a tiniest one in the part of nature.

3) Third
recognize all is interconnected with myself in the universe.

f5

Knowledge is merely knowledge.

Try to do one best to experience on and on through daily life,

it will make us realize at every moment with awareness and mindfulness.

Sooner or later  you will get to understand the reality of Energy in the universe,  which is not mine and also will make us control as a fundamental essence of pure energy.

Finally,
you will come to know human should follow the principle of nature. Why? It is for myself and better life in quality. After we know and do it, we need to make use of it practicially and usefully in daily life.

Your teacher will have to be able to guide you to get there.  Just showing some parts by a teacher could be good for better understanding, but it is impossible for students to get to a certain degree and level.

It is very simple and clear, which is a principle of the Nature. Only experience little by little step by step between a teacher and students together in order to explain will be made us move forward gradually in life.

Me and Finnish HK members with Jose now came up here since in 2007.

It should be a long journey!! Still too far. Let’s move it on and on!

In 21C, we live in modern times, we should know what we have to learn,  what most important thing is through martial arts.

2. One Circle -Mu(무) or   Kong (공)

%ec%9b%90

1)Nothing or emptiness, but fullness
2)Pure energy( myself(ego)is not there)
3)Light = Wavelength = power (strength)
4) Love
5)The origin of Happiness, health, money, fortune etc.

with spiritual growth physically and mentally, materially

 

3.The mean of Mu

Chiness character 舞 ▶▶▶▶▶ 無 ▶▶▶▶▶ ▶▶▶▶▶ 武
pronunciation mu mu mu
mean Dance Nothing Martial arts

■Movements like Forms(kumbups) or dance etc. will lead us to get to the “Nothing”

■Martial arts will be able to get Energy from “Nothing”

■That energy from there will be based on our daily life. It must be Pure Energy which will give us Health, Happiness, Poverty with spiritual growth

and so on.

 e,g) Finnish sauna during my stay there, it makes me realize why we take so often and how it works all over human body machine according to the principle of the Nature. Only if we could come to know it, we will probably be able to make a use of it more practically and usefully in life than ever.

신간도서 – 수행의 바른 길 (저자 : 김정성, 출판사 맑은 샘)

04/06/2016 By admin Leave a Comment

본 저자는 국내를 바탕으로 약50개국 이상의 매년 순회를 통해 한국무술과 문화를 보급하는데 전력을 다 하고 있다. 벌써 15여년간의 세월이 훌쩍 지나갔다. 무술 자체의 술기수련 및 반드시 바탕이 되어야 할 정신수련을 위해 수많은 세미나를 통해 세계각지의 많은 수련생들을 위해 육체적, 정신적인 올바른 수행의 길을 전하는 중이다.

무술수련 역시 우주자연의 이치와 법 속에 있으며, 결국에는 사랑으로 귀결된다는 것을 알게 된다. 인간인 이상 우주자연 속의 지극히 조그만 하나의 개체로서 올바른 수행 속의 깨우침이 그 기본적인 생각과 개념은 하나의 이치 속에 똑같다. 그것이 우주자연의 이치이며, 법이고 진리이다.

수행의 바른 길은 나의 일상생활 속에 있으며, 어떻게 행해야 하는 것인지을 현대인들의 표현방법으로 생생하게 전달되도록 노력했다. 그것을 통해 잘 실천하여 건강하고 행복하게 잘 살 수 있는 방법, 즉 고정관념의 타파와 의식의 혁신에 대한 중요성을 강조헸다.

우주자연의 이치에 따른 기운의 흐름을 알게 됨으로써 무술 속의 올바른 수련을 꾀할 수 있으며, 일상생활 속 실천도, 살아생전 양 손과 발이 움직이는 한, 그 이치는 똑같이 흐른다. 우리가 깨달음의 수행을 해야 하는 이유이며, 곧 그것은 내가 잘 살기 위한 올바른 길이기도 하다.

본 책에서는 깨달음을 위한 수행의 올바른 길로 인도하기 위해 가장 원초적인 기본 바탕을 이치에 따라 쉽게 설명하고 있으며, 건강하고 행복하며 잘 살기 위한 현대인들이 가져야 할 종교를 통한 실용적인 삶과 깨달은 삶에 대한 구체적인 확신을 가지고, 스스로 각자의 일상생활 속에서 올바른 길로 가도록 하는 것에 중점을 두었다.

■Life and Death : 삶과 죽음이란 연속되는 자연순환시스템

■Life and Death : 삶과 죽음이란 연속되는 자연순환시스템

KakaoTalk_20160328_160656176

Human’s life and death is a very tiniest part of circulation system in Nature.

We do stay there and also have only one time with a body in life given

from Nature.

If we could come to understand & realize a principle of nature, the reality of

life and death comes to be more simple and clear.

That is the very law of nature.

We would not spend lots of time and efforts with energy in vain if we could

get to understand and realize its reality in nature.

So we should think out of the box, 

and then we can realize and fulfill in life for better life. 

Finally we will come to know,”it is Love.”

 In 2015,

published a book in English, “Think Out Of The Box”, which is described

through the martial art training.

In 2016,

Also published a book in Korean,

” Right way to get to enlightenment( 수행의 바른길)”

which is described through Buddhism,

 
Then the next book which will be done before the end of this year will be

made descriptions through the daily life in modern times. 

All religions and philosophies in human life comes from the principle of  nature.

All in the universe is interconnected. 

Fundamental factors is same all the time in nature.

It could be make various descriptions according to situations or conditions. 

 

삶과 죽음이란 연속되는 자연순환시스템이다.

그 속에 내가 있다.

한 번 잠깐 주어진 찰라 속 삶을, 우주자연의 이치를 이해하고 인식하면, 삶과 죽음의 진리는 간단하고 명료하다.

그게 자연의 이치고, 법이다.

심오하게 혹은 유별나게 깨우쳐보겠다는 수많은 사람들이 착각과 허상 속 많은 시간과 에너지를 헛되게 쏟는 걸 너무 쉽게 본다.

그래서 생각을 바꾸어야, 각자 주어진 한 세상 사랑으로 꾸려가면서, 사람답게 사는 것이다.  

주어진 현재 이 시간 속에서만 나라는 육체가 존재할 뿐, 단 한 번이다. 그것의 가장 기본 되는 이치와 설명을 이번에 출간된 “수행의 바른 길”이란 책을 통해 나타내 보았다.

2015년도에는 무술을 통해 그 이치를 설명한 영문판,”Think Out Of The Box”를 출간했으며,

2016년 3월에는 불교를 통한 그 이치와 설명을 ,”수행의 바른 길”이란 제목으로 출간했다. 본 책을 통해 깨달음의 허상을 알 수 있다면 충분할 수도 있을 것이다.

본 책에 이어서 출간될 다음 책은 현대인의 일반생활을 통한 그 이치와 설명을 하면서 어떻게 깨달아, 살아가야 하는 지를 나타내 보고자 한다.

우주자연의 이치와 법, 진리 속에서 철학 종교 등 모든 것들이 다 나왔다. 그 기본이 되는 이치는 하나로 연결되어있으며, 똑같다. 어떻게 풀어내는냐에 따른 표현만 다를 뿐이다.

Kihap (Shouting) During Training

At the 2015 Finnish Haedong Kumdo Training Summer Camp
11781815_10153513464749570_6319085413935154805_n
there was a question regarding the Kihap demonstrated in the Kumbups training videos.
Kihap is the Korean termfor shouting and can be described by its: sound, vibration, wavelength, and light. Knowledge of Kihap is helpful both in martial arts and in life.


The following is a brief outline of what will be discussed in detail in the upcoming book.

resized_20150823_215744_-1709999062
– Details –
Title: Understanding “Kihap” and its relationship with the principles in nature as well as its role in martial arts training.

 

11800164_10153513465889570_7021766340217345025_n
1) Through martial arts training – Keyukkum (sparring), Kumdups (forms), Beki (cutting), etc.

2) Scientific explanation and comparison – particles and waves etc.

3) Description of parts related to sound – vibration, resonance, etc.

4) The relationship between light and wavelength – essence moving everything around us
resized_20150823_215742_-1206231938
5) The relationship between breathing and muscular strength – muscles and organs in the body affected by sound

6) Health maintenance – activate cells in the body by vibrationand sound

7) Treatment of ailments – symptoms of organ and nervous system issues

8) Use of religion and philosophy to explain the principleof nature – Bulbeopseung in Buddhist, Christian Trinity, Yin Yang, Taekuk, Mukuk, etc.

 

resized_20150823_215743_-781332879
resized_20150823_215743_-231850004

 

 

The word “Kihap” itself is very simple to explain, but in depth explanations of the above 8 topics will facilitate a deeper understanding of martial art training.

The Jinyoungssangkum Ryu teaches and improves their students’ skills physically and technically through training and theory, requiring students to understand the purpose of every movement.

The theory taught also introduces the principles of nature, urges students to lead a virtuous life, and encourages students to “think outside the box.”
resized_20150823_215745_1703112243
The goal of JSKR is to guide students in their journey towards spiritual growth and creative thinking.

JSKR training also aids in adapting to modern life through changing unproductive thought processes and inspiring students to improve their lives.
As a result, it is imperative that JSKR also changes and adapts to remain a relevant practice for training the body and cultivate the mind.

Here are some simple answers to the question about the kihap in the video shown at the 2015 Finnish Summer Camp.

1. What is Kihap

What is kihap?
Ki ( 氣 ) means energy
Hap ( 合 ) means to collect
resized_20150823_215744_-1392164030
Therefore kihap literally means to collect energy.

It is the collection of energy that flows throughout the body. The energy is collected in one place and at one time with the mind, then used when it is needed.

In the martial arts training, kihap will be helpful in improving their physical strength and skills in Keyukkum, Kumbups, Beki, etc.

With modern technology and techniques we are able to research the benefits of mind-cultivation training on health and happiness. It is my hope that we will make better use of this knowledge.

We are able to study the effects of variations of vocal sounds on organs. Because a kihap is a sound, we can understand why it is able to affect the 60 trillion cells of the body. However, the reasons for using kihap vary widely between different sources.

2. Explanation

Below, I have compiled a list detailing the many purposes and effects of using kihap. These can also be observed when watching kumbups kihap when they deem it is necessary.

Purpose

1) To collect an instantaneous power at one place

2) To control the breathing according to the current condition of the body

3) To stimulate the injured or exhausted body into correct posture

4) To gain the confidence to resist and retaliate

Effects

1) Open all hyuel all over the body at once

2) Feel the empty mind becoming filled

3) Increase confidence

4) Relax and use the sword naturally

5) Increase awareness of how to make better use of the body

6) Learn the importance of using the entire body and the proper way of using it

7) Come to understand how to amplify the power collected by using the weight of the whole body

8) Learn how to collect energy in any place you want

9) Understand that the vocalization of the word “kihap” is natural

It was such an honor to have Grandmaster Kim come to our Gum Ying Kwan
last week. It was truly a privilege to have such a person with his
experience and knowledge in Haedong Kumdo to teach and share his knowledge
with us.

Although, it was just a few days of training and he taught us a
few new moves; we all felt his passion and enthusiasm in the art during
the training session. My students are so excited about Haedong Kumdo now
and we look forward to his next trip to Canada soon. Thank you.

====================================

On May 29th, 2015 I had the privilege to travel with Grandmaster Kim to
Vancouver to introduce him to my Hapkido instructor, Master Thomas Lok and
his students.

We found that Haedong Kumdo and Hapkido share many of the
same philosophies resulting in a fantastic seminar with much knowledge
gained. Grandmaster Kim’€™s ability to teach his skills in a fun and
energizing manner brought different martial artists together which allowed
the sword to create many friendships.
Thank you GM Kim,

we look forward to your next Canadian visit, eh!

 here is our feedback / review for the seminar. 

FB_IMG_1433147816030

We recently had the honour of hosting a two-day Haedong Kumdo seminar led by one of the world’s foremost expert of this martial art, Grand Master Kim Jeong Seong.  For those who don’t know, Haedong Kumdo, or HK, is a traditional Korean sword-based martial art.

As this was our first experience with HK, we were all a bit nervous since we didn’t know what to expect.  Any trace of uneasiness and apprehension quickly disappeared once Grand Master Kim began the seminar.  He introduced us to the art of Haedong Kumdo through a variety of demonstrations.  Starting with a group pattern, he and his students then proceeded through a series of single and double sword patterns, ending with a paper cutting demonstration.

After the visual introduction, we began the hands-on learning portion which would continue for the rest of the seminar.  Grand Master Kim led us through warm-ups, one-step techniques, group exercises, patterns, sparring drills, and paper cutting.

 

Even with all the activity and learning going on, what stood out most during the seminar was the passion and care demonstrated by Grand Master Kim.  He was patient, always available to answer questions, and made sure to explain everything in detail.  This was valuable for the class as the youngest participants were 10 years old!

In addition to teaching us HK techniques, Grand Master Kim also imparted valuable knowledge about learning martial arts.  He emphasized the need to build a strong foundation of basic skills, using martial arts to better understand our bodies, and being focused & deliberate in our movements.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Grand Master Kim and are looking forward to his next visit as we continue our journey in Haedong Kumdo!

 

Regards,

Eugenia
