In following traditional Moo Doe lineage and in order to preserve it's prosperity, it is very important to recognize the different types of instructors. In order to achieve advanced positions, it is imperative for the instructor to maintain a Chung level of character.
Chung: Keeps true to Moo Doe discipline of helping others, staying with traditional values and leaving good seeds for those who follow down the Chung Doe path.
Jhoong: Two types (explained here) at this level.
- Tries to stay on the Chung Doe pathway with Moo Doe values, occasionally wanders from them, but returns.
- An individual who does their best to follow Moo Doe values but has no choice but to discontinue their training and involvement due to personal reasons (i.e. relocating, family problems, illness). Upon returning to continue training and involvement, they are evaluated as to their credibility.
Ha: Wears the face of one following the true path, while looking for personal benefit to satisfy their own greed, thus devaluing true Moo Doe moral and discipline. Without changing their character, these instructors will fail. These instructors can carry on their rank and position, while trying to rebuild their understanding of true Moo Doe value. Their position is in question and they do not hold a current Judging and Teaching certificate.
Pa: Total disregard for the meaning of Chung Doe. Swayed by rumor, gossip and misjudgments. These individuals are following the Pa Doe path. These instructors are not recognized by traditional Moo Doe and are damaging the martial arts image in the public's eye leaving behind bad seeds.
