HI my name is Allen JAckson and I am trying to get local instructors together for friendly training. I started this with my local MD instructors and we have done really well. This is a small scale practice all training needs are brought by those participating.We try to get togehter and practice with one anothar and discuss techniques and difference in styles. This is open to Korean style martial arts and the present group consists of 17-21 years old. Iam try to get local teenage instructors togehter from the PA, MD, NJ, DE, and VA area. If anyone is interested please contact me becuase we have a session going on Saturday April 19th at 10 AM in Perryville, MD right off 95.

I am USTU referee and a referee for the MD TKD Assoc. and I will give you a general summary of how points are scored. 1. All attacks hand/feet must show some sign of power now just hear the sparring vest make a noise. 2. All hand techniques must be closed fist (no pushing the opponent away) they score 1 point for a hit, if you knock them down with a point you score an additional point. Only hand techniques to the midsection. 3. All feet techniques to the midsection score a point and if you knock them down an additionall point is awarded. 4. Foot techniques to the head score 2 points and if you knock them down an additional point is awarded. 5. you can kick to the back area now as long as the instep overlaps the spine no direct spinal shots. 6. you can run off someones legs and attack but you cannot kick below the belt 7.you can only push someone with your chest. 8. as long as the instep overlaps the back of the head you score two points. 9. you can score points on the shoulders with say an axe kick if it contacts the shoulder straps of the chest protector. email me if yo uhave any more questions.

I am inquiring in to any one that my be able to help in the matter of where I might be able to purchase authentic Korean weapons. thanks, Allen

As far as Goverement registered organizations the KOrea Hapkido Federation is the official organization for the Korea Government. They have about 1.2 million black belts in Korea today. I am a member of the Internatinal Hapkido Federation. These federations are similiar as far as techniques go in Hapkido. IHF has new developed styles of Hangumdo, Hankido , etc. The World Kido Federation governs a majority of Korea's traditional martial art excluding Tae Kwon Do. The KHF encompasses hapkido kwans such as Jung Ki Kwan etc. I believe now the KHF has around like 73 different kwans of Hapkido in its organization. If you need more help feel free to email me.
