Hoi Jeon Moo Sool is a modern style that uses hand, foot and weapons techniques. Myung Jae Ok, founder of Hoi Jeon Moo Sool, and his younger twin brother, Myung Jae Nam, studied martial arts together for a long time. It was however Myung Jae Nam who took the lead and became the more established martial artist. Myung Jae Ok broke away from the International Hapkido Federation of his brother to start his own organization. Hoi Jeon Moo Sool bares a lot of similarities with the art of Myung Jae Nam which is known has Hankido. In the years after the break-up the two arts both grew in different directions, but a lot of the similarities remained. Especially the emphasis on circular movements.
