I'm curious , is there any form of competition in hapkido (tournaments fighting) ??
Well ... you never know in America; some guy trains hapkido as well as tkd and then ....

... but NO, I've never heard of hapkido competition and I know it's philosophically verboten! It's for self defense and they usually teach asian philosophy/meditation as well.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Did you read page one of this topic? I gave the links to the Pro HKD Tourney & My personal briefcase of a few clips from the event.

And the TKD thing is not true for most of the guys I know & train with, when we see schools that say TKD & HKD we pretty much shy away. :lol:

:D 50 people will probably give 35 different answers, so I'll guide you to a link & also the system that I've trained in.

Goju, as I stated on my previous post,you'll get different answers from different guys from different schools world over.

Now in our system we do both. When you first start at white belt & yellow you'll learn defense against garment grabs,(Gi,shirt,jacket jeans) defense against wrist grabs,arms, throat,head locks,etc; Now you will learn them slow starting out (non resistence) because that's the only way to learn properly (when visitors come through & see that type of training they think something else) As you progress you'll learn more & more about the art of HKD and we point spar at all levels just to make sure that everyone learns/never forgets the basics such as footwork,(How to pivot,side steps,front steps,etc,) Coordination (combination kicks,sweeps,punches,&clinching) all while keeping your composure.

Then there's heavy level sparring, which is doing all of the above and making it work. :brow: If you saw the Kims HKD web site, The Monrovia school's Master Les Connard is featured wearing both of his WKO Belts.

The WKO was a pro fighting event that bought a lot of serious competiors in for full contact fights in a real ring and lots of spectators. If you ever seen any of these events they looked alot like the San Shou events and Les Connard was the Cung Le of em'. & He retired undefeated & so did our systems team. There was leg kicks,high kicks,plenty of sweeps, throws take downs,punches & a lot of knock outs! :lol:

So I have mad confidence in the Jang MU system as taught by GM Chong S. Kim. I've been to different schools & trained in differents methods. Some I liked some I didn't, I mean I've seen Hapkido forms, We don't have forms (HKD was never intended to) but I guess some instructors like that for their students. So Goju if you go to a school in your area you may see one thing go to another & see something else.

I hope that I've been able to answer your questions.
