Oom Yung Doe (음양도) is a line of martial arts schools under the leadership of John C. Kim. Kim founded his first school of martial arts as "Kong Su" (콩술) martial arts in 1972. Oom Yung Doe schools teach the "Grandmaster 'Iron' Kim style" of martial arts, incorporating meditation, philosophy, and the use of herbal formulas and equipment. There are currently licensed Oom Yung Doe schools in seven states of the U.S..
Oom Yung Doe is a controversial organization. In 1995, legal entanglements led to the incarceration of Kim and several of the organization's senior instructors for conspiracy to commit tax fraud. Furthermore, critics and investigative reporters have accused the schools of being an unethical cult designed to funnel money to Kim.
Lineage and history of Oom Yung Doe
Oom Yung Doe represents itself as a modern incarnation of traditional Chinese martial arts (Moo Doe) called Yin Yang Doe. While the earlier history of Yin Yang Doe is not provided in detail, Oom Yung Doe literature does describe a "legend" indicating that the first generation Grandmaster in this line was an individual named "Bagwa" who developed the style of martial arts known as Bagwa or Bāguàzhǎng. The legend holds that Bagwa was born in a remote province of China around 1,500 years ago and taught his unique style of martial arts to the military, royalty, and prominent citizens. No information is reported with regard to the second through sixth generation grandmasters; however, White lists the seventh generation Grandmaster as "Wang Po." White reports that Kim received the title of Grandmaster in 1974.
The term "bagwa" or "bagua" (Chinese: 八卦; pinyin: bā guà; Wade–Giles: pa kua; lit. 'eight symbols') are eight diagrams used in Taoist cosmology and are often translated into English as the "eight trigrams." Baguazhang literally means "eight trigram palm." The history of the Baguazhang style, as described by martial arts historians including Robert Smith and Zhang Lie, differs sharply from the history given by Oom Yung Doe practitioners. They credit the development of Baguazhang to one Dong Haichuan. Dong was born on the 13th of October 1797 (or 1813) in the Zhu village of China and taught Baguazhang publicy in Beijing during the late 1800s.
Kim opened his first school of martial arts in 1973 in Westmont, IL, teaching Kong Su (a hard form martial art similar to Tae Kwon Doe). In 1976, John C. Kim began operating a line of martial arts schools called "Chung Moo Quan" (충무권), teaching the same 8 martial arts styles that are taught in modern Oom Yung Doe schools. "Chung Moo Quan" was effectively renamed to "Chung Moo Doe" (충무도) in 1989, and again to "Oom Yung Doe" in 1999; while these three schools are formally distinct organizations, the instructor corps and training techniques are substantially similar, and they have all been headed by John C. Kim. White reports that Kim chose the name "Oom Yung Doe" to represent all the knowledge that is being taught by the schools to the greater community.
The organization currently includes twenty-one licensed schools in seven states. The individual schools are locally owned and must maintain a current school license from the national Oom Yung Doe limited liability company.
Biography of Kim
Kim was born in South Korea and is said to have trained under several teachers, including Wang Po the 7th generation Grandmaster of Yin Yang Doe. Kim emigrated to the United States in the early 1970s. Kim has also used the aliases Chong Su Nim "Iron" Kim and Jack Park at various times.
Kim was arrested on April 11, 1995 for conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Internal Revenue Service out of approximately two million dollars. Kim was incarcerated in a federal prison until his release on April 13, 2001.
Kim's claims of achievement
John C. Kim claims to have competed in and won the All Asia Championship (Chung Dong Yang Moo Sul Yun Moo Dae Hwey) in 1956 in the Cho Leung area of Pusan. Internal Oom Yung Doe literature lists Wang Po as the sponsor of the tournament, and Yang Chou Fai, Wang Sei Kau, and Hwan Byung Quan as the presiding judges. Also said to be in attendance were Mok Jing Quan, Chae Jung Su, Park Hyun Su, Yu Gee Han, Chil Sung, and Park Yung-Gil. This claim has attracted criticism. Nam Tae Hi, one of the of the founders of the Taekwondoe training curriculum used by the South Korean military, made a statement to a reporter investigating Kim's claims indicating that becoming champion of all Asia in the 1950s was "Not possible." Indeed, one of the complaints brought against Kim in 1992 by the Illinois Attorney General's office was that Kim and instructors "falsely represented to students that Kim is the 'Master' who is the 'Champion of All Asia', when in fact, Kim never won said championship."
Another achievement claimed by Kim is a technique he refers to as "Kyong Gong Sul Bope" (경공술법 or flying side kick) which he claims to have demonstrated by jumping from the equivalent of an 11-story building. While in the U.S. in 1972, Kim claims to have again performed the Kyong Gong Sul Bope movement by jumping from the equivalent of an 8-story building and landing without injury on a sloped surface.
Pictures depicting Kyong Gong Sul Bope and other achievements may be found on the Oom Yung Doe web site. Some critics of Kim claim to have found evidence that at least some of these photographs, including the photograph of Kyong Gong Sul Bope and Kim cutting an apple in four, have been staged or edited to appear to be extraordinary. Furthermore, they accuse Kim of promoting outlandish legends of his abilities.
Training
The Korean term "Chung Moo" (정무) literally means "mind and body." "Oom Yung" (음양) in Korean has the same meaning as yin-yang in Chinese and can refer to balance and harmony. "Doe" means "a way."
Oom Yung Doe instructors state that the style is derived largely from Chinese martial arts with some influence from other styles of East Asian martial arts. Training is often referred to as "Eight Martial Arts Taught as One," or "All Martial Arts United." The three main qualities of "Traditional Moo Doe" training are reported as:
- Studying Moo Doe moral principles to learn how to follow a positive path in life.
- Training to develop an internal (Nae Gong) and external (Wae Gong) foundation.
- Learning correct sequences of movements while having these movements properly adjusted for the practitioner's body type.
Moo doe techniques and movements
Oom Yung Doe schools claim to train in eight different martial arts taught as one. These are listed as the following eight styles of martial arts:
- Hap Ki Do / Ai Ki Do
- Kong Su / Tae Kwon Do
- Udo / Ju Jitsu
- Kom Do / Samurai
- Kung Fu
- Tai Chi Chung
- Bagwa Chung
- Ship Pal Gae
Practitioners of Oom Yung Doe state that training often attempts to mimic the movements of animals or the elements of nature. Some of the movements or style alterations unique to Oom Yung Doe are also apparently drawn from fables or legends. The stated objective of Moo Doe training is to build beneficial chi and awareness of the mind and body.
Acupressure and herbal equipment
Herbal formulas and acupressure points are an essential part of Oom Yung Doe practice. Nearly all long-term practitioners apply liquid herbal formulas to their skin before, during, or after practice. There are several formulas with various intended effects, but in general the herbs are said to aid in recovery after strenuous practice, remove toxins from the body, and improve circulation and energy flow during practice. In addition, some training techniques use specific dry herbal equipment; the most common examples are cloth bags filled with beans and powdered herbs. Some of these bags are held in the hand while practicing forms, and some are placed on a table for practice involving striking the bags with various hand attacks.
Some critics have contended that the herbal equipment used in Oom Yung Doe represents little more than an additional revenue stream for the school. During an investigation for a news program, Steve Given and Allen Sayigh (respectively the dean of the School of Oriental Medicine and manager of the Chinese Herb Dispensary at Bastyr University) examined a set of dry herbal equipment sold for fifty dollars and concluded that it contained nothing but "soybeans" and that "The entire bag couldn't be worth more than a couple dollars."
Meditation and spirituality
Adherents to Moo Doe maintain that training in the proper meditation techniques and principles is very important in order to allow the practitioner to attain inner peace, a high level of spirituality, and purity. One key form of Moo Doe meditation is called Nae Shim Gong.
Uniforms and ranking
| rank | belt | uniform | typical position |
|---|---|---|---|
| white belt | white | white Korean-style | student |
| 1st-6th section | partially black | white Korean-style | student |
| 1st degree | black | white Korean-style | student or instructor |
| 2nd degree | black | white or black Korean-style | student or instructor |
| 3rd degree | black | black Korean-style | head instructor |
| 4th and 5th degree | black | black Chinese-style | regional-level instructor |
| 6th and 7th degree | gold | black Chinese-style | national-level instructor |
| 8th degree | gold | black Chinese-style | national-level instructor |
Beginning Oom Yung Doe practitioners are ranked into "sections" until reaching first degree black belt. Beginning students receive a white belt, sections of which are dyed black at each promotion until the rank of first degree black belt is achieved, at which point the entire belt is black. Higher-level instructors have a gold belt as part of their uniform trim, although their rank continues to be that of "nth degree black belt".
Oom Yung Doe instructors are likewise promoted through a series of instructor positions. Rank generally indicates skill and ability, while position generally indicates a practitioner's involvement with teaching. The two are independent, although there's a typical correspondence between them as indicated on the chart on the right.
All Oom Yung Doe practitioners wear standardized uniforms while practicing in the school. Students and beginning instructors wear white uniforms, and main instructors and higher-level practitioners wear black uniforms. Practitioners at 3rd degree black belt and below wear Korean-style uniforms similar to Karategi. 4th degree black belts and above wear Chinese-style ("Kung Fu") uniforms which button together at the front (similar to a button-down shirt).
Criticisms of training
Critics have argued that the true purpose of training is to charge exorbitant fees and build loyalty towards the schools, while the similarities to other traditional martial arts are little more than superficial. For example, criticism has been directed at the supplemental seminars such as "Weeklong Seminars" or "International Sae Gae Moo Doe Seminars" that constitute an important part of training in Oom Yung Doe, necessary to advance to first degree Black Belt and beyond, because critics claim these seminars often cost hundreds or thousands of dollars in addition to the already considerable basic contract fees. As of 2008, the cost of attending a "Weeklong Seminar" was listed as $3,302.00 for students enrolled in a course with a duration of less than one year and $2,873.00 for a students enrolled in a course with a duration of one year or greater.
Finally, while Oom Yung Doe instructors maintain that practicing Traditional Moo Doe in the prescribed manner permits the development of miraculous skill and ability and is superior to the "fabricated movement" taught by many schools in the United States, this is viewed with skepticism by many because the schools of Oom Yung Doe do not engage in formal competition or training of any kind with other martial arts schools or associations.
Controversies
Oom Yung Doe's predecessor organization, Chung Moo Doe, was at times extremely controversial. There are two main areas of controversy: The first is the conviction and incarceration of John C. Kim and thirteen other members of the Chung Moo Doe leadership (many of whom are still members of the Oom Yung Doe leadership), for conspiracy to defraud the U.S. IRS. The second is the allegation by news media and journalists that Chung Moo Doe charged fees in the vicinity of $10,000 per annum and engaged in fraudulent and unethical business practices including pressuring students to pay excessive prices and providing second-rate training or services to students who do not pay supplemental fees for additional seminars or courses.
Media reports and internet discussion groups have remained critical of Oom Yung Doe; critics point out that the senior leadership and general nature of the two organizations is much the same. Oom Yung Doe has not generated as much negative media and legal attention as Chung Moo Doe, however, and some media coverage has been positive. There have been media reports detailing the benefits described by practitioners of Oom Yung Doe; segments on The Oprah Winfrey Show and in More Magazine have featured an Oom Yung Doe practitioner in her 60s in stories about what women in their midlife are doing to maintain their health and gain greater meaning out of life.
Death of Robert Ludden
Thirty-five year old Robert Ludden of Des Plaines, IL was reported missing in August 1991. Most of Ludden's partially decomposed body was discovered in the Cook County Forest Preserves in September 1991. Police began to investigate the Chung Moo Doe schools because Ludden was a former assistant instructor of the Chung Moo Doe schools who had left the organization several years earlier. However, at the time of his death his wife stated "...he ended his affiliation with the school more than seven years ago." Police also believed that he may have been involved in the use and sale of cocaine at the time of his disappearance.
Monitoring by the Freedom of Mind Center
The Freedom of Mind website claims to maintain reports on this organization, including statements from former members and a list of media reports covering twenty years of this group's activities under its various names.
