Dance to know people
"Maidou" to know people
The second of "Sanmu" is "Mudo" to know people.
Dance is a way to please and love people. Human nature pursues joy and happiness. No one wishes for a world of fighting. It is also my mission as a martial artist to realize a peaceful world full of joy and happiness through singing and dancing, sports and artistic activities in the real world where there is a fight. The basis of the physical culture that deeply knows the true nature of human beings, connects and reconciles people with each other is the way of harmony, and the "budo" of knowing people.
Another dojo kun of WonHwaDo is "Aioi no Michi", in other words, "Kyosei / Kyoei / Kyogi". The way of Aioi is the idea that each other lives for each other. There is no "deadly" in WonHwaDo. WonHwaDo refuses to hurt people in order to protect themselves.
The way of Aioi is that people and people, society and society overcome the barriers of race, nation, religion, culture, language, etc., and live together in harmony and harmony. The road of symbiosis ". It is a "way of mutual prosperity" that prospers together while sharing both joy and sadness. It is a "way of righteousness" that rejects evil and lives in righteousness together.
Mankind is said to be one family, but in order for mankind to be united by the brotherhood of one family of the Sikai Brotherhood, it is necessary to have "true parents", the common parents of all mankind.
Religion, politics, and the economy are not the only things that lead people to peace, but the home is at the center of it. This is because relationships at home expand to society, nations, and the world. Family harmony is the cornerstone of world peace.
In the future, South Korea and Japan will play an important role as the core of the East Asian community. By learning the origin of the circle through WonHwaDo, learning the principle of Aioi, which is not competition, and practicing the creation of a community that respects and loves heaven, earth, and people, we aim for a world where "coexistence, co-prosperity, and symbiosis" are realized. That is the "Maidou" of WonHwaDo. It is WonHwaDo's "Maidou" that aims for a world where "coexistence, co-prosperity, and symbiosis" are realized.

Maintaining health, promoting communication and forming a sense of community
By the way, what exactly do martial arts people have to do in modern society? The image of martial arts that has been generally held up to now has been a means of revenge or a tool that threatens the other party. In each case, it was just for harming people.
However, what is the role of martial arts in the future? First, it is to maintain and improve human health, and second, it is a rich body language that promotes communication between people. Third, it must be able to form a sense that humans are a "community."
Looking at it in a little more detail, health is a state in which the mind and body are in good balance. For example, even if the soil is rich and cultivated, the plant will not grow without water, and conversely, if the soil is poor and not cultivated even with water, the plant will not grow.
So is martial arts. You have to think deeply mentally and train your body. On top of that, it must be spiritually sharpened to the point where you can feel if the food is poisonous, how many meters away the sound you hear, and so on.
Through this kind of mental concentration, vitality is restored and physical illnesses are more likely to be cured.
However, in modern sports, there are many linear exercises, even if there is speed, and in many cases, only one side of the body is used in a biased manner. This will inevitably damage your body.
What WonHwaDo presents to modern sports is not the movement that goes back and forth on a straight line, but the movement that has been biased to one side through a circular or circular rotational movement. It is to distribute evenly on both sides. By doing so, the primitive abilities of human beings will be developed and a strong and healthy body will be created.
Next, consider that it is a rich body language that promotes communication between people.
Because traditional religions pursued only spiritual salvation, they could not give a clear direction or value to the martial arts that had been developed to protect the people and the nation. On the other hand, the martial arts also absorbed the spiritual things and could not systematize them ideologically.
Therefore, we could not develop into a sport that promotes communication between people. It can be said that the dark ages of sports have continued. So modern martial arts must offer people the potential of all forms of sport, the body language of any sport. The circle of communication between people expands through sports.
Martial arts become a sport and develop into martial arts culture and performing arts
Third, martial arts are very useful in forming a sense of humanity as a community. This is because the relationship between teachers and disciples, and seniors and juniors is clearly positioned in martial arts, and the idea of precious life is firmly rooted.
Therefore, the martial arts that have been used to do harm will now cultivate politeness and convey the dignity of life.
Last but not least, I think that many martial arts schools around the world will each take the form of sports and develop into martial arts culture and performing arts. .. By competing for the artistic expression of each school on the stage, everyone, regardless of age or sex, can participate. If that happens, it will open the way for the martial arts schools to merge.
