Sinmoo Hapkido’s basic rules are categorized into three groups to make a total of 9 rules. These rules were crafted to help the Sinmoo Hapkido practitioner have a better and healthier life. It’s taught by Doju Ji that these rules are generally easy to learn but also claims a serious student of Sinmoo must learn to master these rules to really understand Sinmoo Hapkido. 

Master Ji studied Taoist and Buddhist philosophy to develop the Sinmoo rules but these concepts can be found in Judaism, Kabbalah and Indian philosophy as well.

Each rule has a philosophy that goes with it that we’ll discuss in future posts.
