There are two types of Buddhist teachings,exoteric and esoteric.
SON MU DO (Zen Martial Art),a training method in the form of esoteric Buddhism,
has been secretly handed-down through the centuries.
The training materializes an eight-fold path developed within four noble truths
into a series of body movements.
Sonmudo is a way to attain enlightenment through harmonyzing the body,mind,and breath.

By purifying and harmonizing the three parts of karma-body,speech and thoughts
this training enables one to accomplish samadhi and ultimateli nirvana.
This training method consists of calming yoga,chakra breathing,health exercise,
and dynamic martial art and weapon techniques.

One can attain a peaceful mind and body through the harmonization of "dynamic but calm"
movements and reach the state of harmony
