HanMuDo is a traditional Korean martial art form founded by Ninth Degree Black, famous martial arts historian Dr. He-Young Kimm after more than forty years of training and research in Korean martial arts systems. HanMuDo is comprised of the study of empty hand techniques, the study of weapons, the study of Ki, and the study of martial arts philosophy. This locking and throwing style emphasizes the concept of learning self-discipline, self-control, self-confidence, and self-realization:

Self-discipline is developed through consistent training and practice, even if the practitioner is tired or distracted.

Self-control, both physical and mental, is learned through the blocks and counters characteristic of the HanMuDo art.

Self-confidence is built with the gaining of technique, physical health, knowledge, and a strong mind.

Self-realization comes through the planning and earning of short- and long-term goals, moving from beginner to intermediate to advanced levels of HanMuDo practice.

The HanMuDo program is open to all active ITA members (no age limit), although it is recommended that each student be a Yellow Belt or above. This is the only program outside of TaeKwonDo that allows participants to earn rank. Curriculum is limited to the Provisional level.

Qualifications for an annual teaching certificate are coordinated between ITA and the World HanMuDo Association.
