HAP means "All," DO means "Martial Art," SOOL means "Technique."

HAP DO SOOL is derived from the original ancient art forms. Our unique system consists of kicking, punching, throwing, falling, joint manipulation, and ground control techniques which are specifically designed for self-defense. CHA RYUK (the ability to transfer one's complete physical strength into any part of one's body) and YOGA are also included in this system for mental discipline, as well as physical discipline.

HAP DO SOOL is better defined as "the combined arts of the advanced masters." This combined art was developed by Grandmaster Gwak, 9th Degree Black Belt.

Grandmaster Gwak is the only 9th Degree Black Belt registered by the Federal Government in Washington, D.C., as of March 14th, 1977. Master Gwak is one of the only ten 9th Degree Black Belt holders in the world and has achieved his degrees through 50 years of dedicated training (four of which were spent in retreat in the Chung Song mountains in Korea for the purpose of meditating on consolidating the Martial Arts into their original form). As a result, he has combined all the techniques of martial arts into one concise teaching method that will lead students through their series of belts directly to physical, mental, and spiritual coordination.
