Tong-Il Moo-Do
The very centre of Tong-Il Moo-Do is the Unification Principle.
Tong-Il Moo-Do is the way of unified martial arts which, centring upon the Unification Principle, harmonize and systematize the circular movement (soft motion) as the subject and linear movement (hard motion) as the object, and gives meaning and value on the movements and techniques.
