Oom Yung Doe (음양도; 陰陽道) is a line of martial arts schools founded by John C. Kim (Grandmaster "Iron" Kim). In addition to teaching a broad range of physical movements and self-defense, the training also incorporates meditation, philosophy, and the use of herbal formulas and equipment. Some students describe substantial benefits including self-defense skills, mental and physical health, and improvements in conditions such as asthma, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = https://www.oomyungdoe-ne.com/2011/05/02/ancient-martial-arts-gaining-in-popularity-for-health-reasons/ )〕 and blood pressure.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = https://www.oomyungdoe-ne.com/2011/05/02/combination-of-traditional-martial-arts-eastern-medicine/ )〕〔 〕〔〔 Critics, however, accuse the school's founder and instructors of unethical behavior, charging large fees, and pressuring students to commit to long-term contracts. Beginning in the late 1980s, several TV and newspaper reports publicized these accusations, and described the school as a "cult."〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 While none of these accusations were ever proven, Kim and four of the organization's instructors were found guilty of conspiracy to commit tax fraud in 1995.〔(Docket for United States v. Kim, No. 1:95-cr-00214 (N.D. Ill. 1995). )〕〔 〕 Despite those issues, certain benefits of the training such as increased lung capacity and the healing of treatment-resistant back pain have been demonstrated to be effective in clinical settings; and there have also been several news reports publicizing some of the benefits described by the students.〔〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = https://www.oomyungdoe-ne.com/2011/05/02/people-of-all-ages-improve-through-training-oom-yung-doe/ )〕 ==Lineage and history of Oom Yung Doe== John C. Kim was born in South Korea and emigrated to the United States in the early 1970s.〔 Kim opened his first school of martial arts in 1973 in Westmont, IL, teaching Kong Su. In 1976, John C. Kim began operating a line of martial arts schools called "Chung Moo Quan" (충무권), teaching the same 8 martial arts styles that are taught in modern Oom Yung Doe schools. "Chung Moo Quan" was effectively renamed to "Chung Moo Doe" (충무도) in 1989, and again to "Oom Yung Doe" in 1999; the instructor corps and training techniques for the three schools have been substantially similar, and they have all been founded by John C. Kim.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oom Yung Doe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
