Grandmaster "Iron" Kim began his martial arts training at the age of seven. To achieve perfection of higher martial arts movements, Grandmaster "Iron" Kim many times chose the solitude of the mountain and ocean areas of Asia to practice. Although he learned from many qualified teachers, a majority of the knowledge that Grandmaster "Iron" Kim learned was passed down through Wang Po, the 7th generation Grandmaster of Yin Yang Doe.
In the early 1960’s Grandmaster “Iron” Kim expanded his quest for knowledge. He traveled and sought Masters who had reached a higher level of Moo Doe knowledge. There were seven top practitioners from an elite group of about twenty Masters throughout East Asia with whom Grandmaster “Iron” Kim exchanged individual skills in the martial arts. Grandmaster “Iron” Kim’s purpose was to build his own wisdom, knowledge and understanding in the Moo Doe traditions of the eight main styles. Regardless of how far he had to travel or the difficulty of training, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim relentlessly pursued, learned and absorbed the complete knowledge of form and movement from these top practitioners. After completing the training, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim then shared his knowledge of the Oom Yung / Chung Moo style with the top members from this group. After seven years of training and sharing his knowledge with the best practitioners in East Asia, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim became one of a few elite practitioners who were well rounded in the eight main martial art styles. He was one of several Moo Doe practitioners responsible for uniting all Moo Doe and capable of teaching eight martial arts together as one style or “All Martial Arts United”. Finally, after seven years, his wish that the Oom Yung line could become “All Martial Arts United” became a reality.
In 1972, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim founded the Oom Yung Doe schools in the United States. As an 8th generation Grandmaster, he is renowned as a living icon of Traditional Martial Arts (Traditional Moo Doe). Throughout the centuries very few individuals have ever achieved the incredible level of skill and ability that the Grandmaster has achieved.
In early 1974, Grandmaster “Iron” Kim briefly returned to Korea. It was at this time that Grandmaster Wang Po, the 7th generation Grandmaster of Yin Yang Doe, passed to Grandmaster “Iron” Kim all the knowledge and traditions that had been passed to him. Soon thereafter, the title of 8th generation Master of the Oom Yung line was bestowed upon Grandmaster “Iron” Kim.
