Hapkido - Jun Tong Moo Sool Traditional Martial Arts

This track represents the journey I’ve been on the last three years. It hasn’t been straight and narrow and there were many obstacles as I traveled this path that I had to overcome .

🗣️🗣️🗣️Exactly three years to this day I was hospitalized.

I had severe Covid back in October 2020 and hospitalized for a month and twelve days. Damn near lost my life. I was admitted to the hospital for treatment of severe respiratory failure and organ failure related to COVID-19 viral pneumonia. My illness required life sustaining treatment (VV-ECMO, intubation, and dialysis) and close monitoring in the ICU. As I stabilized and started to recover I was transferred to a general medicine floor for continue treatment and stabilization after my illness.

The virus also caused stress to my heart in which my heart wasn’t pumping strong enough and the ejection fraction was 35% which was an indicator of heart failure. I had an Echo Doppler Ultrasound on September 28th, 2023 and the last one was on December 2021. My ejection fraction is now 65% which my heart is back to normal.

I’ve learned to celebrate the small things and to take each day one day at a time. I just started back being more active and it’s my second day in the row that I have walked the track. I’m looking forward to getting back in the dojang and getting on mat.

🗣️🗣️🗣️Every moment I get I will share my story and experiences. So if you ask me why I’m sharing all these intimate details this is why.

Peace, love & light ❤️🖤💚

Just stopping in to say greetings and Happy New Year to you all.

Hapkido for life!!!

Powerful Shaolin Monk | Ultimate Proof Traditional Styles Work, Bruce Lee Philosophy Bruce Lee believed there was something to be learned from every Martial Art, finding what best suits who you are as an individual, and throwing away the rest...

To quote Grand Master Chu Ma "..every growing martial artist must learn as many techniques as they can, then personalize them in a way that compliments their spirit.." simply put, your journey is your own journey, the instructor is merely the introducer of how to use the various tools that you already have in a manner that may be used for self-preservation or the protection of others.

"The mere fact that a martial artist acknowledges the "circle" is an indication that he/she conceptually understands that there is "no beginning, and no end", henceforth the continuously flow in regards to the techniques. The "completion" that we refer to pertaining to the ex*****on of our techniques is not because the "circle ends", it's because your opponent's "body part"(face, arm, leg, wrist, etc.), got in "The Way" of you attempting to complete your circle. The body, like life, is constantly moving, and anything that gets in the way of movement, either becomes part of the movement, or redirected by the movement, but it does not cease to move."KJN (Master) M.R.

I’m a student for life ever evolving. I’ve been doing this for 23yrs off and on. There’s been some good & bad days but there is only a few things that would stop me from training and quitting.

PHILOSOPHY & REFLECTIONS INTO JTMS (Jun Tong Moo Sool) HAPKIDO BY MASTER M. ROBERTS

Master Maurice Roberts is a 5th degree black belt that began training in Hapkido under the Kido Association under Grandmaster K.S. Hyun in Chicago. He continued his training under Master Hyun Bae You, who was a K*k Sool Won and Hapkido master, trained under In Sun Seo. After Master You relocated out of state, he trained, and continues to train under the founders of The World JunTong MooSool, Grandmaster Chu S. Ma and Grandmaster Beoyong Ma.

Our system focuses on the traditional practice of K*k Sool-Hapkido, with special attention to the application of self defense. The training is centered around creating balance within self, while harmonizing with the things outside of self that disrupts the unification of mind, body, and spirit.
