Samilsingo

Much of the Philosophy of Sinmoo Hapkido comes from what Dojunim Ji learned from Master Lee and Grandma. Long hours were spent training, meditating, but mostly in conversation. He was trained in what he calls Samrangdo. In the Pakchae Kingdom, it was the counterpart to the Hwarangdo in the Silla Dynasty. It was based off of the teachings of Dan gun, the legendary founder of Korea. The ancient text, Samilsingo is said to be from the teachings of Dan gun.

Samilsingo means something to the effect of "Three-Makes-One Mind Techniques." It involves combining the three parts within each of us; the spirit, the mind, and the body, into one complete self. The Nine Rules of Sinmoo are based off of this concept as are of the meditation techniques. Only by working on all three aspects of our self, can we realize our true potential.
