Angus Posted September 25, 2001 Posted September 25, 2001 There is kata (or poomse whatever) in HapKiDo but they very rarely practice it. All we had to do was do it once and we never had to do it again. It was very pointless. HapKiDo is essentially a mix between TKD and Jiujitsu. Mine however was more like a mix of kickboxing and BJJ (because the instructor was a cross trainer). Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.

omnifinite Posted July 4, 2002 Posted July 4, 2002 I was in Hapkido about 10 years ago. A lot of people see Hapkido as a really comprehensive art... covers a lot of bases. The real Hapkido people will do some major damage to a person. But just like a lot of arts, good luck finding the real thing in the yellow pages. If you've found something pure that's found its way to the US, you're fortunate. 1st Dan HapkidoColored belts in Kempo and Jujitsu

We learned about Sin Moo philosphy, breathing exercises, and a lot of technique. It was a good time.
