JINYOUNG SSANGKUM RYU
1 – Jin Young (진영: 眞英)
It is the spiritual pseudonym of the founder of the United World Haedong Kumdo Federation. The name reflects the core values of excellence, wisdom, and courage, representing not only an identity but also a life philosophy in harmony with the way of the sword.
2 – Ssang Kum (쌍검: 雙劍)
It means “two swords.” Ssang (쌍: 雙) symbolizes "pairs" or "dual," while Kum (검: 劍) means "sword." This technique combines fluidity and precision, standing out as one of the most advanced and elegant practices within Haedong Kumdo.
3 – Ryu (류: 類)
It means "system" or "style," referring to the unique structure that defines the philosophy and techniques of a school or lineage. Within the context of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu, every movement reflects the essence of the teachings passed from master to disciple.
-
Jin (眞): Literally means "the truth," representing the purity of the spirit, certainty, and the deepest essence of existence. In Buddhism, it is also used to refer to the enlightened nature of the Buddha.
-
Young (영: 英): Means "excellence," "courage," "honor," and "heroism." It also carries the meaning of wise and courageous leadership, capable of representing the world with dignity.
Philosophically, "Jinyoung" describes one who recognizes the natural order of the universe and dedicates their life to helping others find balance and harmony. This mission involves guiding people to practice awareness and self-control in their daily routines, contributing to a healthy and happy life.
Therefore, Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu (진영 쌍검 류: 眞英 雙劍 類) represents the "Jinyoung Style of Two Swords," a martial art that combines philosophy, technique, and spiritual purpose to empower its practitioners to achieve excellence in the way of the sword and in life.
