■ Beyond Memorization: Learning the Principles of Movement in Kimu Practice

The 2024 UK HK Seminar will begin soon on November 14th in London, UK 🇬🇧.

To be natural is to step into the light, which will surely guide you in your Kimu Practice!

It’s all about understanding and experiencing the essence of martial arts!

The practice of Kimu requires memorizing Kimu Hyungs or Kimu forms, but first and foremost, it’s essential to understand how the body naturally and instinctively moves the hands, arms, shoulders, and other parts.

Only after grasping these natural movements can one truly engage in proper Kimu practice.

Depending on the shape and position of the hands, they may move on their own or come to a stop. Without this understanding, one may simply memorize the forms, repeating them endlessly, like a squirrel running in a wheel, exhausting the body without learning the fundamental principles of movement.

One must understand why Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu is being introduced for the first time in the 21st century.

It is impossible to follow without learning and experiencing it through both body and mind.

At the 2024 UK seminar, we aim to emphasize Kimu practice once again.

Our bodies have to know how it works natually, which is a priority in Kimu Practice!!
