Shin Do Kumaté
Shin Do Kumaté
Shin Do Kumaté, “The Way of the Fighting Spirit", Shin Do Kumaté is the fastest growing international brand of powerful Muay Thai & Full Contact Martial Arts founded by Master Mehrdad Moayedi, a professional fighter himself with a traditional Martial Arts background. Master Mehrdad had intense training under the teachings of prominent grandmasters in the Far East and is an 8th Dan Black Belt. His competition is one that joins true Martial Arts Masters and top ranking male and female fighters from around the world.
What sets Shin Do Kumaté apart from all other competitions is that it employs traditional Martial Arts and Muay Thai disciplines, techniques and rules to give the fighters an opportunity to prove their chosen art’s effectiveness in true combat. The concept behind SDK is to tap into the ritual honor, respect and customs of the Far Eastern culture and entertainment itself.
Shin Do Kumaté has been designed as the arena for fighters to prove themselves as the “The Most Devastating Warriors of All Time.” It takes a Warrior with courage to get into our ring. Fighters earn ultimate respect for fighting in a Shin Do Kumaté, win or lose. These fighters go head-to-head using the most advanced fighting techniques.
Although the rules are simple, the competition is fierce. The bouts consist of three, three-minute rounds. Fighters use 10-oz gloves, fight in a standard boxing ring, and there are no knockdown rules in effect. Fighters have knockout punches, shin-breaking kicks & knees to the entire body, as well as elbow strikes. Ultimately, the Shin Do Kumate’ fighting system has been described as the most superior stand-up fighting discipline in which the fighter can use full boxing skills, all Martial Arts kicks, and all skills from Muay Thai, including clinching and stand-up grappling which allow throws to the ground. There are very few limitations of what you can do on your feet. All of this makes for a very exciting, high paced match.

Master Mehrdad's Unique Kung Fu Philosophy
| Master Mehrdad's Unique Kung Fu Philosophy Master Mehrdad's Shin Tao Kung Fu form has three parts, mental, physical and spiritual in its art (as well as many other branches that you will discover as you progress). Master Mehrdad's Kung Fu style emphasizes techniques and movements for legs (includes eastern kickboxing), hands (including intense western boxing), elbow strikes, self-defense, pressure points(advanced levels only), throwing, chokes, joint manipulation, and all aspects of close range fighting. You also learn internal breathing and practical short and long forms, as well as weapons (forms are the soul of Kung Fu). Weapon training is like demonstrative form or combative form. Master Mehrdad stresses an intense Shin Tao Thai Kickboxing in all his teachings, conditioning, and so on. Master Mehrdad believes forms express the Shaolin respect for the beauty of the world, the spirit of the animals, and a search for inner harmony. When a person trains in the forms, he is training in the basics of physical endurance, speed, strength, flexibility, concentration and attitude. After more than three decades of traditional martial arts training under many Asian and Iranian Grandmasters, Master Mehrdad decided to create his own unique and complete system with the highest respect to all other styles of the Shaolin Kung Fu Temple. www.mastermehrdad.com |   | |
Master Mehrdad's Unique Hapkido Philosophy
Master Mehrdad's Unique Hapkido Philosophy
Today, there are many forms of martial art self defense techniques, but you'll find that only certain parts of the body and certain techniques are used. Most martial arts practice limited techniques and does not use complete combat styles.
Master Mehrdad's Hapkido Form utilizes the entire body in a flowing and dynamic manner. His style of Hapkido is powerful in self defense and combative fighting technique. It is a combination of dynamic, explosive and flowing body movements that can penetrate and conquer anything. It allows complete awareness of the body, mind and spirit. Hapkido uses counter-attack techniques with a variety of offensive and defensive skills based upon understanding one's inner power (spirit chi) and outer power (physical chi).
Master Mehrdad believes that in order for one to achieve a proper flowing technique, one must understand three very important principles of Hapkido. Those principals are (1) Water, which penetrates and is very powerful, but can also be very calm. (2) Circular Motion: Evasive and avoids force. (3) Passive: Non-resistant.
The most important and basic advantage of Shin Do-Hapkido© is that you are able to knock down or defeat your opponent with minimum effort, because you use the attackers force against them. This form of art is suitable for anyone, any age, and any size.
With Master Mehrdad's Hapkido, you will learn:
- Thousands self-defense techniques
- Competitive and practical full contact fighting skills
- Grappling, throwing, chokes, pressure points and ground fighting
- Persian Kushti Kaj (advance students only)
- Martial Art Weapon Training - Offense & Defense
- Learn how to disarm an attacker

Master Mehrdad's World Shin Do-Hapkido Association focuses on your personal accomplishments and achievements.
Master Mehrdad's Creed of Teaching
Master Mehrdad’s Martial Art system taps into the physical concept of the Martial Arts, as well as the mental concepts. As students progress into higher rankings, they will also learn the spiritual concept as well. Besides learning the skills and knowledge of Martial Arts, students learn honor respect and discipline and how to incorporate these skills into their lives. Martial Arts should not be learned as a hobby, but rather a way of life. We are a traditional school, not a commercial school. Under Master Mehrdad’s teachings, students test for their next ranking when they have earned it.
Children train in Muay Thai two times per week. Adults train in Muay Thai four times per week. Muay Thai is not just a striking art, but a spiritual art that comes originated in Indonesia and Thailand. This striking art teaches tremendous confidence and self discipline. Striking is the most difficult art to master and is one of the best styles of Martial Arts to learn as a self defense in a combat situation, as well as any form of competition.
One day a week is devoted strictly to the Martial Arts consisting of forms, self defense, weapons and meditation. Students learn coordination, skill and balance. This is where they tap into the gracefulness and beauty behind the Martial Arts. The Martial Arts and weapons form taught in this school are not acrobatic or empty and it’s not similar to any other commercial school styles. It is a unique expression of one’s self. As an example, you can learn hip hop dancing on the street or you can learn Ballet from a prestigious academy.
We also teach and encourage sparring as one of the most important parts of training. Whether you are training to be the next world champion or for simple self defense, learning the art and philosophy of sparring will help you complete your training. All of these aspects of Martial Arts are good by themselves, but once you combine them together then you develop a whole and complete system. If you are in bad situation and never sparred, you will never know how to react. I have seen many fine martial artists and black belts get in trouble when they are faced with a good striker or a street fighter. Sparring gives you confidence and takes the fear and hesitation away. Remember, in this school we can create the next world champion or the next greatest martial arts master. As a Master of Martial Arts myself, I have all the confidence and knowledge to give my students the tools to reach their goals.

Fundamental Facts of the Martial Arts:
- The meaning behind Dojo, Dojang, Kwan or Martial Art Academy stands for “A Hall where one pursues their dream of enlightenment or mastery of Martial Arts in multiple directions.”
- Loyalty to the Master, Dojang, Art, and Yourself.
- Respect to the art, all other students and also to the Master. By demonstrating respect, you earn respect.
- Devotion, Hard Work, and Patience. It takes time to understand this beautiful Far Eastern culture. Learning Martial Arts is a Way of Life, not a short-term hobby.
- Honor. The most powerful word in life; not only in Martial Arts, but also in your regular everyday life. It is something that comes from within and with a lot of discipline. It is not something that everyone understands.
- And lastly, take all of that in which you have learned in your Martial Art school to your home, family, loved ones and your work.

Master Mehrdad's Achievements
Ancient Hap Kido-Shaolin Kung-Fu Association was established in 1992 by Master Mehrdad Khan Moayedi. Originally from Persia , he traveled the world and learned true Martial Arts & Muay Thai from various Grand Masters ultimately training with Grand Master In Suk Pak in Toronto , Canada . There he earned his 6 th Degree Black Belt and Masters Certification. Master Mehrdad then specialized in various styles of Arts that he mastered throughout his journey (Hapkido, Kung-Fu, Tae Keuk Do, Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai and Persian Kushti Kaj). He then developed his own style, and formed the World Shin Do Kumaté Association Inc. He is currently ranked an 8th Dan Black Belt.
Master Mehrdad K. Moayedi is a traditional Martial Arts and Muay Thai practitioner that has brought the amateur and professional Art of Muay Thai to new markets worldwide via his televised Shin Do Kumaté events. Master Mehrdad was the first promoter/fighter to produce a professional Muay Thai event in the State of Florida in 2002 and has since produced 15 shows that are currently available via a multiple media platform and distributed to television networks worldwide. Female Muay Thai fighters were given opportunities that were never available to them prior to Shin Do Kumaté, as he provided females with matches and title bouts. Since 1992, Master Mehrdad brought Muay Thai, true traditional MMA and has operated a successful Martial Arts, Muay Thai training facility in Tampa Bay, Florida where he currently trains both amateur and professional fighters. Master Mehrdad then founded MKM Knockout Promotions LLC which produces the Shin Do Kumaté fighting event. Shin Do Kumaté features professional male and female Muay Thai fighters from around the world and the series of events are broadcasted via television networks worldwide. “The Quest for the Greatest Martial Arts Warrior” was borne and Master Mehrdad seeks fighters who embody the spirit of traditional wisdom, humility and honor, as he believes this is the way of the fighting spirit.
Master Mehrdad teaches that martial arts brings true balance to all aspects of life, including personal and business relationships. Additionally, Master Mehrdad has developed a fighting/self defense system that he finds to be more effective than other styles by eliminating many ineffective moves that other styles rely upon. His art incorporates techniques and strategies of such styles as Hapkido, Kung-Fu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Kushti Kaj (grappling) and Western boxing. His teachings also include Yoga, Tai Chi, and Chi Kung - the roots of internal power.
All styles of Martial Arts have benefits and Master Mehrdad encourages children and adults to practice any discipline. He does however always seek to remove limitations within disciplines. For example, Tae Kwon Do relies on leg techniques; Karate uses primarily rigid/straight-forward movements; Aikido focuses on circular and hand movements and western boxing focuses on upper body techniques. Judo and other grappling arts focus on submissions and throws. Although all of these arts and techniques are good, each has its own limitations. Kung-Fu styles emphasize on form and weapons training, and most Hapkido schools teach the same styles differently depending on the instructor and the level of his/her training. Master Mehrdad’s unique style is very effective, dynamic and complete without limitations.
Before people understood and popularized Mixed Martial Arts, Master Mehrdad was living it, breathing it and teaching it. To him, many people do not understand the real concept of Mixed Martial Arts. He views today’s MMA as Full Contact Wrestling and a branch off of WWE and Toughman competitions and is concerned about the desperation of new promoters attempting to put unqualified fighters in a cage with no prior experience. The true interpretation of Mixed Martial Arts is a strong discipline of other existing arts, such as Karate, Kung fu, Tae Kwon do, Judo and Jiu-Jitsu, and matching highly experienced Martial Artists from two different backgrounds with each other to see which style reigns. This is not what is being represented today or taught today. Master Mehrdad Khan Moayedi has devoted over 30 years of his life to the study and teaching of Martial Arts and actively participates in traditional Martial Arts systems. He currently fights in full-contact events and he is well recognized for his knowledge and mastery of Martial Arts, and is a well respected businessman. Master Mehrdad received a 2003 Businessman of the Year award and he received the National Leadership Award. He was recognized as a top U.S. Business Leader in The Wall Street Journal in March, 2003.
Students of Master Mehrdad Khan Moayedi learn that Martial Arts is not only about fighting, it is a way of life. It is a journey to find peace within you and gain patience, confidence and self esteem. Martial arts is like a powerful oak tree with strong roots and many branches, and fighting is only one branch. You will learn to discover the power within yourself by training with Master Mehrdad’s traditional techniques.
Testing is only granted to students that have shown good performance, good conduct, and strong will. This school is dedicated to teach students that life is about commitment, dedication, dreams and goals. These teachings are what the foundation of this school is based on.
