One can judge the value of martial arts line by the strength of the movements and the character of its master, his instructors, and the students. The credibility of that generation of practitioners to teach true martial arts can be seen in the strength of their forms and movements. Grandmaster "Iron" Kim's demonstrations clearly show the credibility of the Oom Yung / Chung Moo line of martial arts knowledge.
In 1956, Master "Iron" Kim did compete in and win the All Asia Championship that was sponsored by Grandmaster Wang Po and was held in the Cho Leung area of Pusan. The Chinese title of Chung Moo Jik or "champion" was bestowed upon Master "Iron" Kim. The first place award that he did receive was called a Chung Moon Chung. A Chung Moon Chung is a paper scroll with wooden rods at each end. It is inscribed with the accomplishments of the winner and carries the official seal of the tournament. Several prominent judges and martial artists were in attendance at this championship and they hold in their memory the truth of this occasion. 
In the early 1960's Master "Iron" Kim expanded his quest for knowledge. He traveled and sought Masters who had reached a higher level of Moo Doe knowledge. There were seven top practitioners from an elite group of about twenty Masters throughout East Asia with whom Master "Iron" Kim exchanged individual skills in the martial arts. Master "Iron" Kim's purpose was to build his own wisdom, knowledge and understanding in the Moo Doe traditions of the eight main styles.
