truthfully for me it was because that was what was avalible at my local YMCA. I was young and knew nothing but that i wanted to be like the movie guys. I know now that is not what it is about. Then when my instructor started his own private club i moved with him out of loyalty

Breaking boards or bricks is for mental groth. it teaches you to go through something and to just to it. if you get in the habit of getting close to your partner in class with your strikes then you get use to it. so if you get into a fight then you will just hit to the person and do little or no damage insted of through them with a blow. So by doing breaks you know that if you had to you could realy cause some one damage.

hi I have been having trouble braking bricks. I cant seem to get past this mental block, i know i have the power to do it but when it come's to doing it i can't. I know to aim past the brick and not to stop but i cant seem to do it. If there are any tips out there it would be helpfull

I was wondering since traditionaly Hpkido has no forms what forms dose everyone do at there school? My two most advaced forms are Penon and Sala.

Whear i come from the only thing you can study is korean martial arts. there is TKD, KSW and hapkido. But almost all the instructors from each club originated from the same hapkido master. So when I go to turniments there are many similarities between the styls. I take Hapkido and have done some reserch. As was said the information can be taken differently but this is what I have descoverd. The founder of hapkido is master choi, im not sure exacly how but he ended up in japan whear he was taught by his master (dont recal his name at the moment). Once his master became ill and on his death bed he told choi to return to Korea for safty reasons. When he returned he opend his own club as he studied other martial arts and began to teach them in his school. Choi wanted to take the best of all the styles he studied. He took the kicks from TKD throws from judo and the joint locks from jujitsu. he also took more from other styls. He worked them in to finaly evolve in to hapkido. However what seporates Hapkido is the the cane tectiqus taught at the high levels.

i have seen some of the "biton twerlers" at turnys and not just in musical forms. and they seem to get mixed marks from the judges. now wepons is not my thing but it is interesting to watch them do that

Now i have my black belt in hap ki do and i have been studying it for almost ten years now. i have had two different instructers that originated from the same club and are good friends. Both clubs are vary focused to doing well at turniments and do so on a regular basis. infact my former instructer was last years world hard style forms bronz metalist in the over 35 division. Altho we are vary cobat focused there is also alot of mental preperation that goes into it so i think that you will benifit no mater what one you choose
