HOONLYUN Feature

Nam Suk Lee
The House of Chang Moo Kwant 


Supreme Grandmaster Nam Suk Lee thought it best to “combine your energy, keep your balance, know when to strike—how hard and how fast—moving forward with focus while being keenly aware of your
surroundings, and—most of all—be flexible, adaptable, in mind, body, and spirit, without changing your primary objective . . . and don’t forget to breathe along the way.”


My Chayon-Ryu Experience 

A Lifestyle System for
Modern Day Practitioner 


Chayon-Ryu is a martial arts system created by Grandmaster Kim Soo, a third generation Korean master, in Houston, Texas, in 1968. Chayon-Ryu is celebrating this year its 55th anniversary.
Chayon-Ryu means “Natural Way” and the reason for this became apparent to me since the first class I participated in.. 

Concussions and the
Martial Artist

Recognition, Treatment, Prevention


Concussions don’t need to be caused by a back-and-forth motion of the head. The term “concussion” actually refers to the disruption in the operation of the brain due to some trauma rather than how that trauma was induced. Concussions can result from blows to the body—even if the head is not directly impacted.
