Tong Il Moo Do, the unified martial arts founded by Dr. Joon Ho Seuk, "is a new concept of martial art to emphatically revive the spiritual dimension of these arts. Tong Il Moo Do is a practical means of unarmed self-defense against any kind of assault. But more importantly, it is a way of building sound character enlightening one's mind and spirit. It emphasizes courteous and humble attitudes, while building a strong and courageous character that will fight against injustice and unrighteousness with determination. Thus, it is an effective instrument for teaching discipline and self-control to young people, and for cleaning up many Current social problems. The main purpose of Tong-Il Moo-Do is to help trainees, centering on true love, to realize the three fundamental goals of life through martial arts training. The first is becoming a person of mature character who learns self-control through mind-body unity and develops the capacity to love. The second goal is establishing a happy and healthy family and experiencing the ethical and loving relationships that result from family life. The third goal is using our creative abilities to make a positive contribution to society. Fulfilling these three life goals are accomplished by adopting a life of service to others, eventually building a truly peaceful world." It is inspired by Dr. Sun Myung Moon and his signatures appeared in some of Tong Il Moo Do Books. Events The organization sponsors both the World Cup and the Peace Cup.
