RIP. Despite being the official successor to Dojumin Choi Yong-Sul, from what I understand Chinil Chang wasn't very active in the HKD world. I...
I personally disagree. If I add double leg take downs to boxing, I'm no longer practicing boxing; boxing is the art of fighting with the hands...
Based on your avatar, I assume you are a member of the group in the videos. So I mean no disrespect by this, but my personal opinion is that most...
No I mean HKD. The thread title starts with the phrase "how much time does a typical hapkido class . . .". The point of my post is that Hapkido...
I'll let you know once I find out what the typical HKD class is :) The answer will vary based on the curriculum of the school, its organization,...
In BJJ when we are sparring, sometimes if a partner ends up in a submission like an arm bar, and the position is good but you're just not feeling...
I can't add much more than folks like Tony have but I'll try to contribute something. I'm a BJJ blue belt, and that took me about 4 years. Our...
The point of wrapping hands and wrists in arts like boxing is to compress the small bones together so that they do not crash into each other from...
Just a few thoughts based on my experience in Hapkido and Gracie Jiujitsu (I don't think you can get any more exposure to joint locks than that :)...
I consider myself a Hapkido stylist even though I cross train in kickboxing (mainly American style and Superfoot System) and BJJ (I've done many...
I've done TKD and HKD in the past but have just started training Jungki Kwan HKD
Hi Randy, I don't know if you are still checking in here, but I just recently started visiting a Jungki Kwan Dojang and have talked a lot with...
It also lacks the black bar that typical GJJ/BJJ belts have. Students, online or otherwise, must engage in three types of sparring during their...
And this might sound silly but I view a Gracie Academy and their brand of "Gracie Jiu Jitsu" as a separate rank and art from BJJ as a whole. But...
Right, I agree. There are pros and cons. Cons are that of course there is more than one way to skin a cat as they say. But a Pro would be that...
I can help as I am very familiar with Gracie Academy and their CTC system.Tony has a lot of it right. I'll just fill in where I can. You are...
I've seen those and downloaded a few to my library!
Just to generate some more discussion, I thought I'd pose this question. Youtube has quit a few hour to two hour videos from various Hapkido...
Yeah for my "phase two" comment I was thinking of the "MMA Craze explosion" we experienced here in the States around 2003-2005. Where MMA became...
I trained privately/one-on-one with an instructor who was a third dan in TKD under an instructor who was 9th dan in TKD, HKD and 6th dan in Judo....
I don't think there's a rise of Karate in MMA. MMA in America has gone through several phases. First phase was style vs. style. Then the...
Kong Soo Do nailed it with his replies on the first page. I personally roll my eyes when I hear anyone say something about the thousands and...
Do want! The page is taking a long time to load though.
Just trying to be polite. :) As a martial artist I respect everyone's art and try to understand their expression of it, so I was walking on egg...
Personally I watch WKF, Olympic TKD and sport BJJ even though I only train/spar with full contact (I belong to an MMA club locally). I watch them...
I don't practice karate (my striking discipline is western boxing, western kickboxing and TKD) but I follow some Karate competitors since I like...
I didn't see anything on this yet, but Karate was a sport for Baku 2015 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Found this video on French fighter Alexandra Sandy...
Its almost as heavy as my BJJ kimonos. The pants of the Dynamics 14 oz uniform are probably heavier than my BJJ pants. I can't wait to get some...
I ordered the Dynamics 14 oz uniform. According to Amazon it was delivered today. Pretty excited to rush home from work in a few minutes to try...
My thought right now is that the mental and spiritual benefits of martial arts for him would far outweigh any potential physical/self defense...
