Sangrok ShimShin — The Concept of BodyMind

ShimShin (심신) means mind and body.

For me, Sangrok ShimShin is not a collection of techniques but a mindset: a way of understanding the human being as one integrated whole in which breath, posture, attention, and values operate in the same feedback loop.

Change one part, and the whole changes. That is why physical and mental health are inseparable; the body shapes the mind in real time, and the mind, in turn, shapes the body.

ShimShin is a bridge between two traditions. In the West, mind and body were long treated as separate; in Eastern streams—such as Taoism’s yin–yang balance, Taijiquan’s calm precision, and the direct experience emphasized in Zen/Seon Buddhism—the whole stands at the center.

Sangrok ShimShin ties these threads together: Eastern wholeness meets Western clarity and accountability.

The result is a practical philosophy for standing steady under pressure, preserving presence, and acting with direction.

This concept grows out of my own path. I have trained and taught for 45 years in Taekwondo, Hapkido, Kumdo, and Taiji, and I am a direct student of Grandmaster Chang Seong Dong, founder of the Sangrok tradition in Korea. From him I learned, among other things, that technique without values becomes chaos—and that values without embodiment become empty words.

Sangrok means “evergreen”: a picture of strength that renews itself through the seasons. ShimShin is my way of making that heritage usable in daily life: aligning the physical and the mental so that we can choose response rather than be captured by reaction.

As an approach to health and self-defense, this means we train the foundation before the expression.

A well-organized body carries a calmer mind; a clear mind makes the body more precise. When breath, posture, and gaze point the same way, action becomes cleaner—whether the arena is the mat, the workday, or home life.

This is ShimShin: an idea, a concept, and a path—from fight to focus, from fragments to coherence, from raw power to character.
