Nope...Never heard of it...What I am getting is MOO (무) YEA (예) DO (도)...Which would literally translate as MARTIAL ART WAY. I wonder if this name comes from inspiration from the MOO YEA DOBO TONGJI (Illustrated Manual of Korean Martial Arts)....Who is your teacher?

I had never heard of it either. Is it relatively new? Who is the GM of the style?

That's a good catch. I don't think I would have caught that. It is an interesting point. Does the name reflect this?

Hello,

From my understanding the Hangul (and probably Hanja) are the same as those used in the Moo Yea Dobo Tongji...The titles of this thread reads "Way of Disciplined Art" but I am not sure where that rendering comes from...as I am not familiar with characters that pronounce MOO YEA DO that translate anything about discipline. It could be an *artistic* interpretation of the characters though...who knows....

I've never heard of it either. But tenshinka makes a good point about modern translations. Many of the younger systemitized arts have more lenient or interpertive takes on what is ment behind the original language.

I don't think that's a horrible thing, heck, I come out of such a system. But it does make translating things harder that's for sure. What's more important to me is the lineage of the new art, where it has it's roots, who were the teachers for those root arts, how far did the instructor progress in those arts? Not to mention, is the system effective for training students to defend themselves in real world scenarios?

That's the meat of it. I do always like to hear every students take on the translations of the name of the art they are studying. Even in traditional arts with long historys you can sometimes get some interesting insights from practitioners that go beyond the simple words that form the name.

well my teachers name is Paul Yang, he is the headmaster, but my grandmasters name is Tiger Yang, theyve been in movies, and some of the black belts tell me that theyre in movies and u can find em on youtube. buuut yea WAY OF DICIPLINED ART, its mostly karate, but we have taekwondo sparring rules inside the dojo, and its non-point system and continous sparring, but unlike karate, we can do lead hand to the body instead of side of the head, and no head contact though. and we use our hands way more than taekwondo. infact...i mostly score with my hands anyhoo.

I've heard of it and seen some of the schools in WA state a few years back.

From what I've seen, think of Hop gong moosul/jang yae moosul, etc..it's based off of TKD and claims to have aspects of a lot of different martial arts. I'm trying not to be negative here but I'd reccomend going to a different school. A lot of YMCAs often have good Judo, Karate, etc. for the fraction of the price.

I clicked on the link you found, Kansas City, and it says:

After creating his [GM Tiger Yang's] art form Moo Yea Do, meaning Skill, Art and Philosophy, he is deemed 10th Dan Degree black belt of Moo Yea Do.

MooYeaDoKid, who told you it meant "Way of Disciplined Art," since it's not what the official web site says?

Josh is pretty adept at this, MooYeaDoKid. It doesn't look like what he's translating is anything like what the site says. You should be able to clear this up with your instructor.

If you feel you're progressing, learning self-defense and the art of Moo Yea Do (I remember a video of you sparring; you were holding your own pretty well), then being pleased with the program, even happy with it, says to stay, at least until a dan ranking is achieved. If you don't feel this way, then you know what to do.

Keep moving forward . . .

Hi Joe,

The translation from the website, is quite *loose* and *interpretive*. Most Koreans dont have any issue using their language how they will lol However, I find that it does not always mesh well with the generally accepted standards of academia on the subject ;-D

Personally I dont see how "Way of Disciplined Art" is derived at all from the chosen hangul...But I am far from an expert lol

Alas it is Yang KJN's art, so he can translate as he wishes, to express his ideals...'Cause in the end, that's what he is "gonna do" anyway....All that really matters is that his students are happy

Best Wishes,
