At Chun Seung Won, we believe that the journey to a healthy and balanced life is a lifelong path that requires dedication, discipline, and a willingness to learn and grow. Our organization is built on the principles of traditional Korean martial arts and the teachings of our ancestors, who passed down their knowledge and wisdom through generations.

Our History and Lineage

Our story begins with the Song Dynasty, which ruled China from 960 to 1279. The Song family, originated from this dynasty, traveled between China and Korea, gaining fame and respect for their moral integrity and values. Our lineage is rooted in the traditional martial arts of the Shaolin Temple, and our teachings have been preserved and passed down through generations.

The Way of Life

Our way is not the only way, but we believe that our path can guide you to find your own way to a healthy and balanced life.

Foundations of Health

We believe that health is built on four foundations: the mind, the body, nutrition, and the environment. A healthy mind is the foundation for a healthy life, and physical health is crucial for overall well-being. Nutrition plays a vital role in our health, and our surroundings and the company we keep greatly influence us. We believe that nature plays a vital role in our well-being, and recognizing the power of nature is essential in promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Positive Thinking and Belief

We believe that developing a positive mindset is crucial, as it directly impacts the outcomes in our lives. Overcoming negative thoughts and cultivating a positive outlook, attitude, self-image, and belief in oneself is imperative. We believe that what you believe is what manifests in your life, whether it's positive or negative.

We believe that our way of life is not the only way, but we believe that our path can guide you to find your own way to a healthy and balanced life.
