About

The World Ultimate Sin Moo Hapkido Federation was established to preserve, promote, and advance the authentic teachings and philosophy of Sin Moo Hapkido as passed down through its founder, Doju Ji Han Jae. Built on a foundation of traditional Korean martial arts, the federation continues to unite practitioners, instructors, and schools from around the world through technical excellence, mutual respect, and lifelong learning.

Under the leadership of Senior Grandmaster Massan Ghorbani, the federation has grown into an international organisation committed to maintaining the highest standards of martial arts education, instructor certification, seminars, and leadership development. Our history reflects a continuing dedication to preserving tradition while inspiring future generations of martial artists.

Our Mission

Our mission is to preserve the authentic traditions of Sin Moo Hapkido while promoting excellence in technical skill, character development, and leadership. We strive to unite practitioners, schools, and instructors worldwide through education, cooperation, and a shared commitment to the true spirit of martial arts.

Beyond self-defence, we aim to develop confident, respectful, disciplined, and compassionate individuals. Through international seminars, instructor certification, cultural exchange, and community building, we help students strengthen their minds, bodies, and spirits while becoming positive role models in society.

Our Philosophy

Sin Moo Hapkido is more than a martial art—it is a way of life that seeks harmony between the mind, body, and spirit. Our philosophy teaches that true strength comes from self-control, wisdom, humility, and continuous personal growth, enabling students to face life's challenges with confidence and integrity.

We believe that martial arts should build positive character alongside practical self-defence skills. By combining discipline, meditation, breathing exercises, and effective combat techniques, we help practitioners develop balance, inner peace, resilience, and a lifelong commitment to learning and self-improvement.

The World Ultimate Sin Moo Hapkido Federation is led by Senior Grandmaster Massan Ghorbani, 10th Dan, President and Director of the federation.

Together, we are committed to supporting every member on their martial arts journey while strengthening our global martial arts family.
