Well, on the side of the defender, (and this may sound silly) but I don't like to assume that my attacker is wearing a shirt. For that matter, I...
I wouldn't say that's exactly the case. I certainly don't feel frustrated and I'm not sure why someone would be searching for answers. I can see...
When I say "between the four techniques," I do not mean that each technique should include all of those elements. Once again, this is a...
Sorry, I don't think spinning hook kick is detrimentally important to Hapkido as an overall style. I'm really looking for very specific defense...
Let me clarify -- I am not looking for Hapkido to be broken down into four different categories, or four different areas of study, or four...
I actually disagree, respectfully of course. I feel like that is a bit generalized. For me, spinning hook kick was a notable component of Hapkido,...
I like that breakdown, but I'm really looking for specific, self-defense techniques. Sorry, I should've mentioned that originally.
This is a hypothetical question mainly for those with a fair amount of experience in Hapkido, but anyone is welcome to answer since I'd be...
When I teach Hapkido techniques in my Taekwondo classes I rarely teach grabs against parts of the clothing. Rather, I try to limit grabs to parts...
Experience is not always an adequate reflection of actual skill level. I've met people who have trained consistently for well over a decade but...
For California there are the qualifiers, and then in early April there are the States. I will be going to qualifiers this weekend. I will be...
A few people are saying that the Kukkiwon would be unable to implement something like this. That is why in my original post I stated "-assuming...
In regards to upcoming changes in the way the Kukkiwon implements US promotion, I'd like to present a question for you. If the Kukkiwon were to...
Personally, I like the new certificates. That's not to say that I like them better than the old style, but I haven't much of a preference. I've...
Where was this originally posted?
Hm. Kay.
Msmitht, when you say that they will be releasing dvd's with set curriculum for everyone to teach, to what extent do those curriculum go? By that...
I've done Koryo, Keumgang, Taebaek and Pyongwon. What I enjoy about Koryo is its universality. It attempts to cover several ranges of technique...
If I could keep the attacker at a decent distance I would use a lot of low kicks. If the attacker got into a close range I would use elbow strikes...
I study and teach both sets of forms, and they each have their advantages. However, I strongly prefer the Taegeuks. The were designed to be more...
Thanks. ^_^
I attended class tonight, and afterwards I was awarded my third degree black belt. I also turned in my Kukkiwon application. I actually tested...
He put 'abomination' in quotation marks, so I think it was meant as sarcasm...
You no longer promote through Kukkiwon?
That is good to know and serves to provide more information about the system, but also serves to further confuse me. Ah well.
The answers simply did not make sense to me - those on this thread and those presented in interviews. It has nothing to do with accepting it - I...
Then why say that, as a system, it is not traditional? Honestly, I am just curious, and not at all intending to criticize.
Well, like I said, I could not find the videos (and I don't think I referred to the techniques as being all that common). I suppose, though, that...
Again, that is something I simply just do not see. This may be very true as compared to some traditional Hapkido schools, but certainly not all,...
Honestly, I was unable to find three main techniques I had in mind. I really don't think I can describe them too well, but I will post them if I...
