Dahnhak Ki-gong has developed into a modern, scientific system the philosophy and difficult training methods of Shin-seon-do, the lineage of which had been broken in the past. The fundamental goal of Dahnhak Ki-gong goes beyond training body and mind to awaken us to the true purpose and truths of our lives as human beings and to manifest this purpose in the world.
