Welcome!
Welcome to Jeju Oseung Dojo.
Founded in 2004, we are a prestigious dojo that has produced many high-ranking practitioners of 4th dan and above, as well as certified swordsmanship instructors.
Aikido is a martial art that requires about three years of training just to reach first dan, and its promotion standards are famously demanding.
Since 2005, Jeju Oseung Dojo has steadily produced black belt holders, and it is the dojo that has produced the most practitioners of 4th dan and above among any single dojo.
Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu, a classical Japanese sword tradition, likewise requires many years of training before a practitioner can be recognized with a mokuroku (certificate of transmission) or menkyo (license).
Since beginning Katori Shinto-ryu instruction in 2006, Jeju Oseung Dojo has produced many mokuroku holders and numerous license holders.
Currently the dojo consists only of an adult program, but we expect that in the future children and teenagers will also be able to train in authentic Aikido and Katori Shinto-ryu.
Oseung Dojo’s Hapkido (Aikido) is a martial art grounded in the ethic of protecting even the opponent who attacks you, and the power hidden within its softness is second to none compared to any other martial art.

Why Jeju Oseung Dojo?
Authenticity and Tradition
Authenticity lies in the founder’s philosophy and training principles
being carried on through a proper lineage and system of transmission.
It is not just the form of the techniques,
but the principles and spirit behind why such movements are used that must be passed on together.
Tradition is not meaningful merely because it is old, but because its value is carried on correctly.
Jeju Oseung Dojo continues to carry on that spirit and essence through training even today.
Exchange and Connection
Training at Jeju Oseung Dojo is not movement done alone,
but a process created together with a partner.
Through training together, you naturally learn trust and respect, and experience the value of growing together rather than defeating your partner.
Breathing together and growing together — that is the value of Jeju Oseung Dojo.
Classes
Harmony and Consideration
No technique confronts the partner’s force head-on;
instead, it connects and flows naturally through breath, timing, and the movement of one’s center.
Through this training process, you also learn to respect and care for your partner.
A training partner is not a rival to compete with, but a valued companion who helps you grow together.
Valuing an attitude of understanding your partner —
that is an important value of Jeju Oseung Dojo.
Effort and Honor
True strength does not come from the power to defeat others,
but begins with the constant will to train and refine oneself.
Training at Jeju Oseung Dojo goes beyond learning techniques —
it is a path to cultivating patience, responsibility, consideration, and respect.
Small daily efforts build into great growth, and good character and conduct become a lifelong honor.
Through martial arts training, we cultivate people who are upright rather than merely strong, and people who work hard rather than merely talented.
Effort becomes the seed of growth,
and honor becomes its fruit.
Our Memories
Techniques remain in the body, teachings remain in the heart,
and memories shared together become a lifelong treasure.
The countless moments created at Jeju Oseung Dojo
are not mere photographs but a record of growth,
and a precious story
that proves the path of martial arts we have walked together.
So that today’s memories become tomorrow’s pride,
we continue to grow together.
Dojo Thoughts
Techniques that once felt difficult become natural,
movements that once seemed impossible become possible,
and you discover a strength and ease within yourself that you never knew you had.
Through Oseung Dojo, I hope you gain something more than mere technique.
Growing into someone healthier, more confident,
and more considerate of others.
That is the path of Oseung Dojo, as I see it.
