Soong Moo Kwan Hapkido

[oftheherd1]

Don't see too much mention of what style people in the Hapkido forum learned under. It isn't perhaps all that important anyway. The different styles share many of their techniques.

Still, I was wondering if there are any others here who studied Soong Moo Kwan Hapkido, either in Korea, under GM Yi, or one of his sons, in Korea or the USA? Actually, for that matter, he had many masters teaching throughout Korea. Some may have learned from one of them.

Well, I must admit to a little surprise. Master YI (or Lee as he later referred to himself) taught for many years in the Yong Son, Seoul high school system. He also taught in the on post gym. There were quite a few who attained BB under him. He moved to the States a few years ago, and prior to his passing, taught with his son in the NJ area.

Just surprising that no one in Martial Talk had studied under him. He was a great teacher, and a real gentleman. I miss him.
