Hapkidodude Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Has anyone here entered a sparring tournament and used Hapkido techniques? I know that most of our techniques would be illegal in a tournament. Some of our circular redirection techniques could work I would think. What do you think? BrettThe Hand is quicker than the eye!

iamrushman Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 no; i never used hapkido techs in tourniment type sparring............the way i was trained, it is to devestating and to easy to hurt someone for a trophy. rushman (karate forums sensei)3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon"saying nothing...sometimes says the most"--e. dickerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taezee Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 it would be a bad idea to start having hapkido tournaments...it would go by way of modern sport taekwondo...too many rules..too many politics..the reason i enjoy hapkido is because of its practicality and its effectivness in combat...this should only remain as training for actual self defense Javier l Rosario instructor taekwondo/hapkidounder master Atef s Himaya"whenever youre lazy enough not to train .someone, somewhere is training very hard to kick your *" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapkidodude Posted October 14, 2001 Author Share Posted October 14, 2001 I think that you mis understood Taezee. I am not in favor of a Hapkido tournament. I agree that turning Hapkido into sport is not what anyone who practices Hapkido wants. What my question refers to is a Hapkido practitioner participating in an open Karate tournament and how would Hapkido techniques be able to apply. Sorry for the misleading post.

taezee Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 oh okay..well tournaments usally have so many restrictions of techniques..that almost all hapkido tatics would be illegal Javier l Rosario instructor taekwondo/hapkidounder master Atef s Himaya"whenever youre lazy enough not to train .someone, somewhere is training very hard to kick your *" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karateka_latino Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 My instructor told me that Song Il Park 9th degree in Hapkido was talking about Hapkido tournament back in Korea when he was young. He said they were brutal.. you win by knock out or submission. But they were forbiden later by the goverment. Also they had a lot of Challenge matches against others Kwans. thanks.
