Yongmudo, Yongmoodo or Yong Moo Do ({{langx|ko|용무도}}) is a modern hybrid Korean martial art which combines different techniques from taekwondo, hapkido, judo, and ssireum as well as boxing and wrestling.{{cite web |title=MSMAP :: Overview of Yongmudo |url=https://www.mtshastama.org/yongmudo/overview.cfm |website=www.mtshastama.org}}

History

Yongmudo was developed at Yong-In University and has been practiced at this university as a self-defense art since 1953. The Martial Arts College of Yong-In University formally announced the creation of a new discipline, known as Yongmoodo on October 15, 1998.{{cite web |title=About Yongmoodo |url=http://taekwondoworld.com.au/martial-arts/about-yongmoodo/ |website=Taekwondo World |language=en-AU}}

The Self-Defense Yongmudo Club was formed in 1974 and the World Yongmudo Federation was established in 1999.{{cite web |title=Yongmudo – UCMAP – University of California Martial Arts Program |url=https://ucmap.org/club/yongmudo/}}

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."{{cite web |last1=Hamlin |first1=Jesse |title=UC's master of martial arts |url=https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/UC-s-master-of-martial-arts-2607437.php |website=SFGate |date=23 March 2007}}

Etymology

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.{{cite web |title=Sejarah Singkat Mengenai Olah Raga Yongmoodo |url=https://manado.tribunnews.com/2013/04/24/sejarah-singkat-mengenai-olah-raga-yongmoodo |website=Tribun Manado |language=id-ID}}

Features

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 Yongmoodo 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, Kumdo and Kerkki, and joint locking from Hapkido.

Scientific study
