craknek Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Has anyone learned or taken Combat Hapkido? It sounds like a really good system. My instructor teaches, but he wants us to learn ChongDoKWan first... so I have no idea how effective Combat Hap is.. Anyone, share some personal information on it? Nick D.

Jae Hoon Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 well its a hybrid style, and its also incredible, its basically kick the person to the ground with TKD then get on top of them and do a brazillian paint brush which i have done on the streets before, some goober with a knife, when will they ever learn? i kicked him down and then did the paint brush to his knife hand, and so you see hapkido rules http://www.gamegen.com/fightgen/characters/jae-repeated-kicks.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I'm taking combat hapkido here in Tampa, and while I'm very new to martial arts (just recieved my first white-belt stripe tonight ) it does seem to be a very practical, all inclusive form of defensive fighting. But the focus is 95% on defensive tactics. Basically, every belt's requirements are a series of "attacks" that must be either broken (a turn-and-run approach, weapon disarming, etc) or turned against them (throws, joint locks, etc). It does seem very useful as far as "daily driving" is concerned, and it is a very stripped down MA: it's a no-bones-about-it defensive philosophy. We do practice some offensive strikes, knife hand, a few simple kicks (round, snap, side, back), but these are used for distraction or the "kill shot" after you've immobilized your opponent (or can sometimes be used in the middle of a technique). I'm enjoying it very much so far as my first martial art.. My instructor, a 4th Dan CH Master is _very_ fast and scary, but the nicest guy you will ever meet. Hugs and handshakes follow every practice. My only complaint is that I'd want to learn perhaps something a bit more offensive for those situations where the best defense is a good offense (perhaps in a 2v1 encounter or something). Helpful?

Black Dragon Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 This isnt the same as Combat Ki is it, because I saw that on the Discovery Channel and as part of the demonstration they would get like eight people to surround one and all punch him in the throat at the same time. They would take direct kicks to the jewels, and blindfold themselves and take kicks to the chest. I personally did not feel that anyone should be taught or shown these techniques. So recognize or be hospitalized Cuz literally on a scale from one to ten I'm 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
