Han Moo Do

[ATC]

Anyone heard of it? I have. In the General Martial Art section on this site I posted that there is another Korean Art that has a sport that uses all the kicking and punching of TKD but with throws and take downs. This is more of what our Black Belts start to get into once at that level.

In the clip below you can see that there is a strong influence of Hapkido also. I think this is what TKD was meant to be.

Now this is the kind of tournament sparring I like!

well, we used to dapple a bit in it a few years back.
I know it as Hanmudo, we did not get into it all that deep. (or it is another offshoot of an offshoot)

the part we did was the grips and joint locks, has a lot of pressure point work in it, too. You do it right your arm smarts for hour after, just having that point squished.

I do recall it has strong Hapkido influence, plus another style, which I forgot.

(my friend would ahve loved to beat the snot out of us with nunchucks, all we had was a rubber escrima, but that was a separate class...)

I always thought a practical and synergistic blend would be to combine some of the more relevant techniques from TKD and judo into a new art. Hmm, that's nothing new. Some of the kwan era people had that very skill set.

These tournament matches look like what I would envision an art like that holding. Pretty cool.

Yea it is kinda what we already do with some of our students, putting arts together is an old way of adding and taking away what will and wil not work for each person.

Thanks for that, looks good. It must be hard to find a good school though.

Now this looks fun!

I think you can get this same teaching with a good TKD/Hapkido school. Does not have to be a Han Moo Do school per say. Many TKD masters also have a Hapkido belt as well. They don't teach the young ones to much but the adults should be taught.

Psst. Don't visit the hapkido forum and say that.

Now you just made me itch...Ha ha ha.

I think a devil icon is needed.

Very true. Many tkd schools I know of here have masters that have rank in both tkd and hapkido and those that dont have two masters, one who teaches tkd and has rank in tkd and another that teaches and has rank in hapkido. The two arts gel together very well from my experience.

Apparently, there are 2 different folks that claim to be the founder, but with a different spelling of the name. Either way, this type of sparring is so far removed from the Olympic style, which seems to be the big player in a lot of discussions, that it's really apples to oranges. IMO, this type of sparring has great value in regards to honing self defense attributes. It's actually what a lot of the older original TKD instructors taught and was originally labeled as Korean Karate and other names such as Kong Soo Do, Subuk, Sul Ki Do and others.

Been out of the Dojang too long, memory starts failing...but the original info I read was that Dr Kimm did not solo the 'new art'
I'd say the other guy sounds familiar, but shucks, all Korean names look and sound the same to me (throw in the romanisation factor and I am lost...)

The Moo guy might have taken his curriculum a step further than Dr Kimm, adding the weapons.

But, as I said, I hardly got to scratch the surface...(life stinks some times), but the Mu art is definetly a lot of fun, something else to do and very elegant, in a painful way.
I definitely can advocate to have a sneak-peak in Dr Kimm's stuff. He is a very nice individual I have been told from my friends. Instant fan club.
