hapkido princess Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I passed my Red belt test in HAPKIDO this past Saturday. It was the hardest test I've taken so far and the longest. (2 and 1/2 hours.) Just wanted to tell everyone. Amy A Black Belt is a White Belt that never gives up.
Zorbasan Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 well done! Now you use head for something other than target.
cathal Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Good job. What exactly do you for Hapkido gradings? .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
hapkido princess Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 Each rank has a different set with roughly 12 techniques (mostly grabs), at least 1 break fall, kicks, strikes, pressure points and throws. For my red belt test I had to run through each ranks set (7 sets in all). The amount of techniques, kicks, strikes, pressure points, throws and break falls vary from set to set. For black belt I'll also have to fight after my sets. A Black Belt is a White Belt that never gives up.

wagnerk Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Congrat's, what kyu/level is that? I don't have any experience with Hapkido. Tang Soo Do: 3rd Dan '18Shotokan Karate: 2nd Dan '04
cathal Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 I think Hapkido uses Gup instead of Kyu, and I'm pretty sure it's 5th Gup / 5th Kyu .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
