The World Youn Wha Ryu Association is built on a foundation stronger than any technique or tradition: the Word of God. We unashamedly proclaim that the Bible is the Word of God and that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. Our founder, Grandmaster Han, is a follower of Jesus Christ, as is his son, who leads the Association today, along with the leaders who serve beside them. Together we serve to advance the kingdom of God through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, because we believe there is no greater purpose in life than to know Him and to make Him known.

That conviction shapes everything we teach. The six principles our students recite in every class (Be Patient, Be Polite, Be Alert, Be Brave, Do Your Best, and Respect Yourself & Others) are not slogans borrowed from the culture; as Grandmaster Han has always taught, they have their source in Scripture. In our schools, the kick, the block, and the form are tools for something deeper. We train the body so that God may shape the whole person, spirit, mind, and body, into someone marked by self-control, gracious speech, focus, courage, diligence, and love for others.

Our doors are open to everyone. You do not need to share our faith to train with us, and every student and family is welcomed, honored, and treated with respect, whatever they believe. We simply want you to know who we are and why we do what we do. Our mission is to help everyone become all that God has created, called, and gifted them to be, and our deepest hope is that every person who walks through our doors will come to know the One who gives our training its meaning: Jesus Christ.
