Have a look at this Hapkido seminar clip.
Has anyone ever heard of this GM?
Thoughts on his technique?

Great clip
You know the guy he was throwing around HAD to be in a WHOLE lot of pain the next morning
Xue Sheng said:Also I noticed as the clip progresses he gets back up slower
Yep...Xue Sheng said:Never ever shake hands with that guy.
I hope there was more than one Uke
It probably is so let me say

Like they always say when I'm up being used for throwing dummy..."Can I see that throw one more time,Sir?" :uhoh:
I met master Bong Seung back in 1990 he came to visit my Dojang at the Quincy YMCA on several occasions ,We became friends and he visited often watching and training with us , he had just received his 3rd Dan from Master Ji Han Jae in Ca, the cost was $3000 he told me ,This does not mean this was Master Ji's fee just what his teacher charged him ,At the time i was a 5Th Dan under the WHF
The following year i introduced him to Kwang Sik Myung this was 1991 he joined the WHF and was going to represent Vietnam,And Cambodia, etc.You migth check on the instructor of the year he claimed
This is where it get interesting he had the chance to go a seminar for ten days in Ca taught By Master Ji, Han Jae before he moved to the East Coast. Bong Seung returned and contacted me about starting a New Hapkido association in New England ,An he would be the one to evaluate my students and judge them for promotions since he now out ranked me he became a sixth Dan ? So i was no longer Qualified i laughed and we parted ways after noticing he was missing several Dan certificates leaving gaps betweeen ranks and some Double promotions
After reading his Bio where did the 7Th,8Th ,9Th come from ?
Also he tried to join Grandmaster Lim,and had a problem with mike W Maybe ,tod might remember that

Aside from the ranking status, I realize that this was a demo, but I didn't care all that much for what he did. The judo-esk throws not withstanding, his footwork was rather broard. To be honest, some of the techniques shown were rather lame (ie; leg takedowns from a punch). Compared to many of the Hapkido demos I've seen from Korean Masters in Korea, this was nowhere near their level. Just my opinion.......
