Must be, I haven't heard an outward wrist break called an outside lead since I did a short stint in the AHA under my instructor Steve Mortell back in 1991,, same technique though..
my favorite follow up after they hit the ground from the outward writst break is to kick them in the exposed ribs,, or neck,, there are many many flashy finishing holds and chokes available to you and we practice dozens of them, but if you want to stay on your feet and get it over with,, a simple kick will suffice.

All these techniques are called different terms depending on the org. no biggie, most Korean orgs. don't even have names for them, just numbers,,, the main thing is that you are practicing a good technique no matter what it's called,, it's cool you are doing Hapkido.

I keep learning all the time. For some reason I have always been a student, adding to my knowledge and learning about different arts.
From what I have seen of Hapkido it has a wide varity of techniques and some excellent instructors who are more than willing to share their knowledge.
So if different orgs have different names or numbers I have two questions. First how many main orgs. are there and what differencates them?
the 2nd one goes back to what I was tryiny to ask originaly, If I can discribe rthis correctly. Your oponent strikes with his right hand at your chest. You move out side his strikeing hand blocking/parrying with your left hand as you move in close( shoulder to shoulder) what do you like to do next?

I have to give Master Mike credit there. For many Americans, the naming of the techniques make it easier to grasp onto. It tells something about the technique there by making it easier to remember. The only problem I have is sometimes the name may limit the technique as far as variations and dealing with the natural motion of people your working with/on. An example would be how people get caugt up with, "this technique has to be done this way or it's wrong" mentality.

There are too many! ;)
The differentiation lies with the person starting the organization and what they learned from their teacher's lineage. For example, Master Mike's style of Hapkido uses more fakes and distractions while say GM Lim's style uses more body mechanics. From my limited experience with GM Ji's style, also uses alot of body mechanics. Each one is good, just different.

This is gonna sound like a cop-out, but I would have to be there in the moment and see what happens. Sorry, Shadow. :rolleyes: :)

No, that is not a cop-out, I fully understand that statement.

My I ask how you know Master Mike? The fact that you can spell his last name says a lot. LOL :D

Tell Art, i said hello also how is Mike ?

Will do!

Last time I saw Master Mike was at his last BB Dinner. He's fighting the cancer, but he did look different from the treatments. With that aside, he put on a good demonstration at the dinner and gave it everything he had. I have some pictures from it. I'll put a page up from my site so you can check it out if you want. From what I've seen of Master Mike he's a strong guy for what he's been going through.

Hey, Welcome back from Korea! Go ahead, make me jealous and tell us how it was. Next year will be my year to go. <crossing my fingers> :)


Take care.
