Moo Gi Gong

Moo Gi Gong

Moo Gi Gong is a sub-form of Hwarang-Do Karate and is often taught in the same monasteries and schools. In this art the student is taught to use any object as a melee weapon. The student is taught that all things have an innate potential as a weapon and conform to certain basic forms of usage - therefore once those basic ways of usage are learned and mastered, any object can be used to fulfil it’s innate potential as a weapon. In addition students are taught to use any bow or archaic missile weapon as well. A master of Moo Gi Gong prefers to enter combat totally unarmed, but in an area where there are plenty of potential weapons lying about - a kitchen could be an armory! Once in melee the master will use anything that comes to hand, either for throwing or melee. Hwarang-Do and Moo Gi Gong are designed to be used together and are a powerful combination.
