Moo Duk Kwan Flag








The name Moo Duk Kwan means "School of Martial Virtue"
  • Moo – military, chivalry, martial; within the ideograph the inner part of the symbol is the word for "stop" and the outer part means "weapon"
  • Duk – benevolence, virtue, goodness, commanding respect; within the ideograph on the left, it means "little steps" or "to happen", and on the right the character means "moral"; thus moral steps or perhaps virtuous conduct
  • Kwan – large building, palace, library; again within the ideograph, the left part looks like a roofed building and technically means "to eat" (under a roof).
