Sunmudo training > Syllabus

The practice method of Sunmudo can be divided into sitting meditation (坐觀), standing meditation (立觀), and walking or moving meditation (行觀), in order to keep the state of balance while being in the condition of walking, standing, sitting, lying, speaking, being in silence, moving, or being still.

Cultivating a deep sunmudo practice is a way to awaken one´s true nature. Sunmudo envelopes the

dynamic movements of a martial art into the peaceful practices of meditation, yoga, and chi gong

exercises. Just as the Buddha said we all have a buddha within, so too can Sunmudo speak to all

individuals, regardless of age, gender, nationality, or physical ability.
