We are excited to share a new interactive resource for our members — O Heng: Five Elements.
This web app explores the Five Elements (O Heng / 五行) of Traditional Chinese Medicine and their connection to our Soo Bahk Do practice. You can find it in the Documents & Resources section.
What You'll Find
- Element Explorer — Select any of the five elements (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood) to learn about its associated organs, emotions, season, and healing wisdom
- Organ Clearing — Finger mudra, sound, and color techniques for each element
- Five Element Breathing — Detailed breathing exercises tied to each element
- Seven Chakras — Chakra activation and how the chakras relate to the Five Elements
- Soo Bahk Do Connection — How the Five Elements relate directly to our martial art practice
- Acupressure Points — Healing points organized by element
- Five Factors of Health — A holistic view of health through the Five Element lens
Why It Matters
The Five Elements are a foundational concept in Soo Bahk Do. Understanding O Heng deepens our awareness of balance — in our bodies, our training, and our daily lives. This resource is designed to support your journey as a Moo Do practitioner beyond the studio.
Take some time to explore, and feel free to bring any questions to class!
Soo Bahk!
