Hello all,
Departing from the superthread for a minute, have any of you seen a Hapkido dojang SO far out there that it was not Hapkido? e.g. The instructor has no real Hapkido background, etc. What did you do, anything? By what criteria do we evaluate the rash of "new" Hapkido.
Not looking for a Hapkido police, or are we? Given a certain small group of established traditions, does anyone have a reponsibility to question what might be fraud?
Lots of wiggle room here for dicussion. But I would like to avoid the mire of so and so from this organization etc. really looking to investigate the "independants" that suddenly become super-dans.
Are these guys frauds, or do they just not know better because of a loose interpretation of Hapkido?
