Words have many meanings, and the translation of Asian words could have many different spellings.
In Traditional Moo Doe, the meaning goes much further than the basic translation.
In Tradidional Moo Doe the word Moo means zero, empty and invisible all of which relate to the understanding of the strengths and power of the things which we can not see. Martial or physical is also a basic translation of Moo, but if taken to a deeper level the physical body is concidered empty or as nothing because it is temporary and one day is going to become part of the earth again.
The word Doe means path or way.
How each individual chooses to put meaning to these words is up to them. Yet, in Traditional Moo Doe the meaning is to develop a path to understanding the invisible strengths which surround us.
