Frequently Asked Questions
A few things
you may be wondering.
Clear answers about beginning the practice, joining the community, and bringing Il Il Shin to others.
Getting started
Where should I begin?
Start with the 5-Day Free Course inside the Il Il Shin Community. One lesson, one action, and one reflection each day. Start Your 7-Day Free Trial →
Is the course delivered by email?
No. The five-day course takes place inside the Skool classroom. Follow Days 1–5, with one lesson, one action, and one reflection each day. Days 6–7 give you time to revisit lessons, explore replays, and participate in the community before your trial ends. Assessment results arrive by email; course lessons and conversation stay in Skool.
How does the free trial work?
Start with 7 days free in the Il Il Shin Skool community, then $49/month. Review the payment requirements, renewal date, and cancellation terms shown by Skool before confirming enrollment. The assessment itself is free and does not start a membership.
What is Il Il Shin?
Il Il Shin is a system of daily renewal that trains you to recognize the gap between who you are and who you want to be—without shame—and close that gap through intentional practice. It means “Day by Day New,” expressed simply as “Be Better Every Day.”
What is an Il Il Shin Moment?
An Il Il Shin Moment is the instant you recognize that you could respond differently—and choose the next better action. You practice recognizing the moment sooner and choosing better more often.
What are the 10 Practices?
Integrity When No One's Watching; Choose Calm; Sit in Silence; Practice Presence; Move Your Body; Do Good, Quietly; Check In With Yourself; Say Thank You. Say Sorry.; Walk With Someone; and Mindful Consumption. Each principle addresses a different part of life. Together they help you close the gap between what you believe and how you live.
Is Il Il Shin also an exercise program?
Yes. Move Your Body is one of the 10 Practices. The longevity movement component focuses on strength, mobility, and balance, with options for beginners, people returning to exercise, and experienced athletes.
Is the exercise program for beginners or athletes?
Both. The program meets you where you are. Beginners and people returning to exercise can start at a manageable level and build consistency. Athletes can work at a level that challenges them, with attention to movement quality, strength, mobility, and balance.
Do I need experience to begin?
Beginners are welcome. Start with the foundational community, follow the guided practices, and bring your questions. You don’t need prior knowledge to begin exploring Il Il Shin.
What do you mean by “modern warrior”?
Someone practicing courage, kindness, responsibility, and self-leadership in everyday life. It might mean pausing before reacting, keeping a commitment, or being fully present with family.
Can I participate online?
Yes. Membership, courses, live online sessions, recordings, and discussion take place on Skool. Start Your 7-Day Free Trial →
Classes & daily practice
What happens in a full live class?
Full live classes are available virtually and in person. The experience has five parts: Moment, Presence, Longevity, Power, and Reflection. Practice thinking, attention, mobility, balance, strength, and reflection at your level. Start Your 7-Day Free Trial →
What if I cannot attend live?
Return to recordings in the member classroom when your schedule allows. The library is member content and requires appropriate Skool access. Start Your 7-Day Free Trial →
How does the full curriculum work?
The curriculum follows a six-week cycle, with an A class and a B class each week—12 individual classes. Resources and recordings continue to develop; find currently available materials in the member classroom.
Membership & Monthly Mastermind
What does the $49/month membership include?
The Il Il Shin Community is $49/month. One membership includes foundational teaching, guided exercise, live online practice and recordings, community discussion, a one-hour monthly mastermind, the Modern Warrior course, and shared accountability.
Is the monthly mastermind included?
Yes. The one-hour monthly mastermind and the Modern Warrior course are included in your $49/month community membership. Bring real decisions, relationships, and challenges for honest perspective and meaningful accountability.
Where should studio owners begin?
Studio owners join the same Il Il Shin Community at $49/month. Build your own practice, connect with the community, and explore bringing Il Il Shin into your studio through a private conversation.
Do I have to start the Modern Warrior course with everyone else?
No. The course follows 10 repeating principle themes with short written weekday lessons and weekend application assignments. Members can study independently and join at different times. The monthly meeting focuses on the current theme. You do not need to finish the course before participating.
Where do existing members log in?
Open Skool in your browser or app and sign in to your existing account. The classroom, calendar, and recordings are member resources.
Local classes
Why do local students have two memberships?
Local tuition supports local instruction and the practice space. Online community membership provides the shared online practice, education, recordings, and ongoing connection. All students must also belong to the Il Il Shin community.
Who sets tuition and receives payment?
The founders bill online community membership. The local center separately enrolls students, sets local class tuition, and keeps their local class revenue.
Referrals
Who can refer a new member?
Any member can share their referral link and earn 40% recurring commission through Skool. Instructor certification is not required to refer someone. No particular earnings are promised.
