The demonstrations was well done! I love it how they did it so smoothly and gently so that we can see each moves. I've never heard of this kind ofMartial Arts before. Soo Bahk Do seems quite nice

I always love to read anything I can find about Soo Bahk Do, since resources are still thin on the internet (many sites seem to have the same handful of resources as the next). I enjoy the personal reflections, as well as philosophical discussion and insight. I also enjoyed the post last month showing video of Gup tests at different levels. Anything to create a deeper reflection of what it is that we are doing. Thank you, Sa Bom Nim, for your efforts to create a richer understanding of our Art.

Thanks Steve, Soo Bahk Do tries to be a well-rounded, traditional martial art. It’s focus is on striking but we understand the importance of closer-range defense also. One thing that we don’t do much of is grappling, but my school holds a grappling class once a month so we have some experience in that arena as well.

Becky, I’m glad you are enjoying my blog. It’s nice to know that there are people out there reading it regularly. I’d love to hear about what areas of the blog you enjoy so I have an idea of what readers are wanting more of. My hope is that this will begin to be a community to research and better understand the art of Soo Bahk Do. Soo Bahk!

Thank you very much for posting. I subscribed to your blog last year before my first Gup test, and enjoy your updates as rare gems (which can also be read that I would love to read more). I enjoyed Jang SBN’s opening to the Moo Do Ja Seh seminar day very much and look forward to reading the written essay. And congratulations on all you accomplished at the tournament. Soo Bahk!

Just wanted to say thanks so much for sharing. I actually know very little about Soo Bahk Do, but in watching your videos I was pretty impressed. Particularly in the first portion of the second video, I was surprised how much standing tie-ups there were. I like to see a Karate-like striking style with that much standing grappling attacks / defense. Thanks again for sharing.
