A large part of one's #MartialArts journey is not in the mastery of the techniques, but in the personal journey. Each person has a path, a set of strengths, and a set of weaknesses. This is what makes the #martialartist's path so special. #philosophy

Partner work is critical in #yongmudo, as each student learns how to safely throw, fall, and spar with others. In this case, one of our students at our school at @TempleUniv is doing a 16-step exercise. #phillyyongmudo #MartialArts #yongmoodo

#ThrowbackThursday to last summer in #Boise, #Idaho, where #yongmudo was taught as a part of the 45th Korean #MartialArts #SummerCamp, hosted by the Idaho #Taekwondo Training Center. #yongmoodo

Welcome back to the new semester to our #yongmudo students at @Harvard, who kicked off over the weekend! Train hard and train well! #yongmoodo #MartialArts

#ThrowbackThursday to 2007, when many of our #blackbelts nation-wide gathered for a belt test and this photo. Can you spot some of our longtime members and instructors? #MartialArts #yongmudo #yongmoodo #BlackBelt

#ThrowbackThursday - or perhaps #ThrowsThursday? Here's a snap from our @Harvard #yongmudo club last year, featuring a high fireman's carry. #hapkido #yongmoodo #martialarts

Today, we honor #MartinLutherKingJr and his impact on our nation. This quote reminds us about the role our #MartialArts schools play in our own education and personal growth.

Here's a #FlashbackFriday to our school in #MountShasta, which had a #BeltTest in December! Here's a student performing a barrier roll, which is one of the advanced techniques we teach in #yongmudo to understand rolling from a height. #yongmoodo #MartialArts

Author #MelodyBeattie talked about setting goals for New Year's as a positive act toward fully investing in one's own development over the year. As a #MartialArtist, what goals have you set for yourself? #MartialArts #ThursdayThoughts

Our #yongmudo club in #apexNC finished the year off strong last year with a multiple-day belt test! Here's a snap of the club on test day. #MartialArts #BlackBelt #yongmoodo

#FBF to when the fantastic head instructor of our school at #PhillyYongmudo traveled to #boise to teach a series of clinics at martial arts schools there! Here he is, teaching wrist locks to a newcomer. #SelfDefense #yongmudo #yongmoodo

A very happy #Thanksgiving from our #yongmudo family to yours! We are thankful for our #MartialArts community near and far. #yongmoodo

This quote from famed Prussian field marshal Helmuth von Moltke the Elder reminds us that going into a situation like #sparring requires an agility of mind and a flexibility of strategy. #MartialArts #WednesdayWisdom

Arm bars and other joint locks are critical to final submission techniques on the ground. This snap courtesy our club at @Harvard. #yongmudo #yongmoodo #MartialArts #BlackBelt

This quote from French philosopher Henri-Louis Bergson challenges us to not overthink, nor to impulsively act. How can we be deliberate but proactive, both on and off the mat? #philosophy #MondayMotivation

[Yongmudo USA @yongmudousa]

This quote from General #GeorgeSPatton reminds us that it's quite easy to fall into the trap of overthinking, especially for those of us who are more deliberate or reflective in nature. Just a little #MondayMotivation for you all!
