The Korea Hapkido Federation Is Strategically Co-Operating with Korea Telecom
Korea Telecom (KT) will soon sponsor 23 websites for the Korea Hapkido Federation (KHF). In addition to the main KHF website and its English version, there will be 21 city and regional branch office websites. All 23 sites are in development and are 50% complete. Information about books and local hapkido dojangs and events will be included in the contents of the websites.

The KHF and KT have the same marketing policies, and the cooperation between the two will extend beyond online business.





The 13th Korea Hapkido Federation Master Course
The 13th Korea Hapkido Federation Master Course was held for 3 days and 2 nights from April 30 to May 2, 2005 in Pochun, South Korea at the Bears Town Resort, which is just outside Seoul.

This time, participation in the course was restricted to KHF members holding 3rd dan (degree) certification. The course generated great interest with participants and everyone involved worked hard throughout the weekend. The course was taught from 6AM to 8PM each day, and the subject contents taught were:

• Emergency Chiropractics Techniques by Master Kang Jung Soo
