Kimu: Exploring the Flow of Energy in Martial Arts Practice

Kimu: Exploring the Flow of Energy in Martial Arts Practice

In Korean 국문 번역

기무(氣武)- Nature Calls Us To Move

https://m.cafe.daum.net/enlightenment-k/dcM5/252?svc=cafeapp

“Actually, the term ‘Kimu’ might seem unfamiliar, but it’s a method to grasp the essence of energy in martial arts training. ‘Kimu’ literally stands for ‘Ki’, which means energy and ‘Mu’, which refers to martial arts.

In essence, it signifies the flow of energy within martial arts.
The stages to attain this energy flow are categorized into three main phases:

Firstly, Relax and Feel the Energy
Secondly, Focus and See it
Thirdly, Realize and Do it

To effectively practice these three stages,
it’s important to instill the habit of maintaining ‘Even Breathing’ and ‘Normal Mind’ in every movement.

Of course, nothing is 100% perfect for humans.

That’s because we are designed to continuously strive towards perfection,

knowing that we can approach it.

Hence, in each and every moment, under every condition and circumstance,
one must do their best at that very instant.

Prioritizing nothing else except giving their utmost in the present moment.
That’s what it means to be human.

Based on ‘Even Breathing’ and ‘Normal Mind , expressing speech, thoughts, and actions in each moment,
while using Mindfulness and Awareness as tools within that moment,
is called ‘Simshin Su Haeng (심신 수행)’ which means ‘mental and physical practice.’

The term “Practice” refers to human life itself, and it is extremely simple and clear.
The process might be difficult and challenging at times,
but if you don’t fundamentally recognize the essence that guides practice correctly,
then throughout their life, no matter how much effort is exerted day and night,
it’s akin to counting grains of sand in a desert with all their might.

When humans are born, they come into the world in a frenzy,
And when they die, they depart without much contemplation.
Profound or intricate matters can not become the truth;
They are merely creations formed over many centuries or thousands of years due to human desires and ignorance, becoming inherited accumulations or patched-together clutter.

As time goes by,
the perspective on the surroundings
becomes even more straightforward and clear.
This is because it emerges through the lived experiences.
Ultimately, one can sincerely contemplate the phrase
“Time is the best medicine” when a considerable amount of time has passed.

Therefore, people often say, ‘You’ll understand as you get older,’
but there’s also the saying, “Realizing it when one’s hair turns gray, but facing the end of life nonetheless.”

I am confident that Kimu practice, revealed, and introduced for the first time in the world in the 21st century through Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu HK,
will undoubtedly contribute to making your martial arts training and life more abundant and fulfilling.

“Fixing You:
The Journey of Self-Acquirement, Healing, and Love in Martial Arts”

This title perfectly captures the essence of the content and conveys the themes of self-improvement, healing, and the meaningful connection between martial arts and love. It’s engaging and intriguing, making readers curious about the content that follows, I can expect. If you have any questions about the content below, feel free to send a message anytime to haedongkum@gmail.com.

“Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you ”
– Coldplay의 노래 “Fix you”에서

https://youtu.be/k4V3Mo61fJM

A. Light will guide you home

■  Harmony and Balance through Light Energy 
The title is taken from a part of the lyrics of Coldplay’s song “Fix You.”
While these lyrics carry philosophical meaning, here the focus is on explaining the concept
through the flow of energy in Ki Mu training, promoting physical and mental recovery and enhancement.

Through the activation of Light Energy and igniting it within oneself, or dwelling within the pillar of light,
one achieves harmony and balance in body and mind, leading to a healthy state of being.

B. Ignite Your Bones

■ Ki Mu Training and the Order of Muwi

Understanding the ” the Order of Muwi ” through Ki Mu training allows one to perceive the ignition of vital energy, guiding not only superior ways of martial arts practice but also better approaches to everyday life.
The essence and truth behind it are simple yet profound.

By attaining the flow of energy,
Facing various situations,
Recovering one’s body and mind,
Even in the face of physical and mental challenges,
Adapting to them through the flow of energy, Nurturing inner strength and perseverance.

Fostering a sense of inner calmness and abundance,
while cultivating resilience and the ability to overcome any obstacle and progress positively in life.

The principle is straightforward and clear, but aligning oneself with the ever-changing surroundings is never easy. Moreover, the human body itself fluctuates and moves with the restless mind.
The human body’s mechanics are designed that way, and it is an essential aspect of human transformation, development, and maturity.

The connection between the flow of energy and breathing will be covered in a future opportunity
– Even Breathing, Normal Mind.

■ The Fundamental Purpose of the Seminar

The overseas seminar of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu Haedongkumdo, which I am hosting, aims to:

  • Engage participants in deep exploration of martial arts’ essence and nature through their body and mind.
  • Based on this understanding, comprehend the interconnectivity between martial arts techniques, philosophy, and healing.
  • Enhance each individual’s martial arts skills and abilities.
  • Assist participants in reaching the ultimate goal of human life.

■ The Basic Motto of Training

Based on these fundamental concepts, the main points of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu Haedongkumdo training include:

  • Reinforcing the repetitive perception of energy flow.
  • Understanding the essence of energy flow.
  • Recognizing that energy itself is conscious and alive.
  • Experiencing and acknowledging that one’s body and energy do not solely belong to oneself.

The training is centered on Ki Mu training with a focus on both hands and two swords, teaching their techniques and the fundamentals of energy flow. Through this training, participants hone their mind and body, engage in spiritual training that promotes health and happiness in their daily lives.


C. Try to Fix You

■ Self-Aquirement (체득, Cheduk) – The Essence of Martial Arts and Life

– Love (사랑, Sarang)

In reality, “fixing you” is based on ” Self-Aquirement,” which is closely related to healing.
This Self-Aquirement becomes possible through intensive training in Ki Mu,
which involves repetitive experiences of energy flow – Self-Acquirement: Self-Magnetization.
This becomes the essence of martial arts training and human life, eventually culminating in “love,”
which holds the most profound meaning in all Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu seminars.

” Self-Aquirement “(체득, Cheduk) reveals the connection between martial arts training and healing,
and brings about an understanding of the essence, laws, and truths of human life & the world.
Through the experiences of Ki Mu training,
participants gain a deep understanding of energy flow
and the interconnectedness between healing, body, and mind.
Through comprehensive training, each practitioner internalizes this system,
unifying mind, body, and spirit, naturally achieving a harmonious and balanced life,
and realizing the essence of returning to nature.

Uncovering the Key Principles and Essence of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu Practice

Uncovering the Key Principles and Essence of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu Practice

In Korean

진영쌍검류 수련의 핵심과 요체

https://m.cafe.daum.net/enlightenment-k/dcM5/245?svc=cafeap

 

I am going to illustrate for trainees to explore the core and essence of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu practice in brief as follows.

In the training of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu Haedong Kumdo

Through Ki-Mu training, one becomes aware of the flow of energy – Mindfulness and Awareness.

Even Breathing and Normal Mind form the foundation of all practices – Enlightenment.

By employing one or two swords,
one seeks mental and physical training to grasp how to move the body automatically – the principle of body movement.

Practitioners engage in Ki Mu Practice, a training method that cultivates a deep connection with the flow of energy. – Flow of Energy

This practice fosters a heightened state of mindfulness and awareness, where even the act of breathing and maintaining composure becomes the foundation of all training endeavors, ultimately leading to enlightenment. – Enlightenment

Through the use of one or two swords in physical training, practitioners gain a profound understanding of the principles of body movement.

Ki Mu training emphasizes the importance of maintaining Even Breathing and a state of Normal Mind (composure), while sword training focuses on achieving body harmony and balance. – Mastery of how to move the body automatically

■ Ki-Mu Training – Even Breathing and Normal Mind

○ Seeing the Light Energy
○ Following the Flow of Energy
○ Mastery of the principle of natural and automatical movements
○ Awareness of the Energy operating in the Body
○ Understanding the Functioning of Energy in Each Organ, and so on

■ Sword Training – Harmony and Balance

○ The Sword as an Extension of the Arm

○ The Sword’s Movements Follow the Body’s One.

○ Body (+E) Movements Follow My Mind

○ My Mind (+E) Follows the Energy (Love) of Nature

☆ Simbeop (Mind Method)
☆ Sinbeop (Body Method)
☆ Dobeop (Sword Method)

=> Understanding the Triadic Structural Principles

■ Healing System
with Vipassana Acupuncture Practice

Identifying the blockages and openings of energy in uncomfortable or painful areas and establishing the communication of energy to return to balance and harmony through practice.

The methods of practice include meditation, acupuncture, using stones, swords, and any other tools.

The principle of the body moving automatically and naturally is based on the fundamental concept that my body is not truly mine, and the energy is not mine either.

All the above training methods share the same underlying essence, providing a common foundation.

Whether it is sword training or
acupuncture, regardless of the tool used, it becomes a tool for my mental and physical training, leading to the elevation of martial skills and guiding human life to a better state.

Therefore, the reason why all practice and religious groups use phrases such as “forget yourself,” “discard yourself,” or “empty mind” becomes clear through experiencing and understanding directly through Ki-Mu practice with one or two sword training.

In summary:

As practitioners delve deeper into their training, they come to realize that their body is not separate from themselves but rather a vessel through which energy flows.

This understanding leads to a state where the body moves instinctively, and practitioners recognize the impermanence of self-identity.

This principle is echoed in various other spiritual and training disciplines that encourage individuals to let go of self-centeredness and transcend their limitations.

Through the integration of Ki Mu Su Practice and sword training, practitioners are able to directly experience and comprehend the rationale behind the emphasis on selflessness and self-transcendence in all forms of training and spiritual pursuits.

This holistic approach enables individuals to achieve higher levels of accomplishment beyond mere mastery of martial arts techniques, which is the goal of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu Haedong Kumdo training

Ultimately, the training in Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu leads practitioners to the right practice for better training and a better life as well.
