Any Hapkido people?


Recommended Posts

i just started taking hapkido, and i love it. it is lots and lots of kicking and joint locks. my wrist still hurts from last week. it is loads of fun. my favorite part is there is NO KATA!! i cant stand kata (i apologise to every one who like kata) i cant remember it and i find it very pointles.

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).

hello

 

I've been studying Sin Moo Hapkido for about a year 1/2 in Phila. I've even trained at Grand Master Ji, Han Jae's School! He is amazing. I feel really lucky to attend classes taught by the founder. I'm new here, so just saying hello.

 

see ya,

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.

Excellent, Chris. I can't believe the way he moves.. he's so fast! What did you learn @ the seminar?

 

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

 

Take care :smile:
