INTRODUCTORY SEMINAR AT 2018 NATIONAL FESTIVAL (https://festival.soobahkdo.org/ ~ https://www.facebook.com/moodukkwanfestival/) Translated by Ellison Kim Interpreted by Craig Hays Sip = Ten Dan = Levels Geum = Beautiful or Important Sip Dan Geum Hyung comes from the Kwon Bup section of the Moo Yei Do Bo Tong. The section of the Moo Yei Do Bo Tong Ji where Sip Dan Geum and Yuk Ro hyung are described was published in “Soo Bahk Do” authored by the Founder. Within the Kwon Bup section, it describes the Naega Kwon Bup which can be mastered, allowing for practitioners to strike in all directions with powerful force. The basis of Naega Kwon Bup consisted of 35 training methods and 18 types of footwork. They were classified into Yuk Ro and Sip Dan Geum . It is not known who wrote this section of the Moo Yei Do Bo Tong Ji or who created the Sip Dan Geum. Nor is it known the exact timing of the Sip Dan Geum creation. Movements of Sip Dan Geum are based on Yuk Ro Hyung, therefore are very similar to practitioners. Based on your mastery of Sip Dan Geum, the movements can be transformed into Deh Ryun applications for offensive and defensive application. Depending on the time period and where the Ship Dan Kum were practiced, they were performed either as ten exercises or twelve. The exercises were performed differently between Korea and China based on the local influences. In the transition within the Soo Bahk Do publication, 10 exercises were presented. Sip Dan Geum can be performed individually or with partners in sparring application. Anyone can perform Sip Dan Geum, aside from beginners, to build mastery of Kwon Bup. Sip Dan Geum has significant historical importance since it is from the Moo Yei Do Bo Tong Ji and has the same lineage as Yuk Ro Hyung. It is a special set of exercises since they having traditional, historical significance and can be performed with or without partners.
