Teoul Moon Kung-Fu
Teoul (pronounced "Toll") Moon Kung-Fu is a
Chinese Martial Art that was developed in Korea.
Many Chinese Masters left their homeland during turbulent times and eventually,
some settled in South Korea and began teaching their various arts. For Teoul
Moon these masters where, Hung Gar Grandmaster Chung Guk Chi, Preying Mantis
Grandmaster Kang Kum Pang, and Pa Kua Chang Grandmaster No Su Chun. Teoul Moon
founder Chon, Song Shin, who had already studied the Shaolin Animal system and
Tai Chi Chuan, began taking lessons from these Grandmasters. After more than
ten years of study, Master Chon combined the elements of the styles he had
learned and formed Teoul Moon. The name was taken from the second highest gate
in the search for heaven, the place were heaven and earth meet, the level of
enlightenment.
Teoul Moon is comprised of the essences of the Shaolin Animals of
Tiger, Leopard,
Snake, Crane and
Dragon, Hung Gar, Pa Kua,
Preying Mantis, and Tai Chi.
Philosophy of Teoul Moon
The underlying philosophy of Teoul Moon Kung-Fu is respect. Respect for ones
school, ones teachers, ones fellow students, and others. Teoul Moon is not
taught as a means of violence or force, you will not learn how to fight, but
rather how not to have to fight. This does not mean however that students will
not learn the practical application of techniques. Knowing the application of a
technique is a key part in understanding Teoul Moon Kung-Fu. Learning and
knowing the appropriate usage of these techniques is what we teach.
