I was just wonder if any other hapkido practicioners follow what I call Ocotgon Principle (or movements)
At the Dojang where i study we have this big octogon on the floor kinda looks like this...
(sorry you will have to mentally envision it because it wont stay formed in the post!! its a numbered Octogon
1 is directly infront of you.. 2 is behind... 3 directly to your Left side and 4 to your right.. 5 is the left front angle between 1,3.
6 is behind between 2,4 (Geez i hope you guys can get this)
7 is upper right between 1,4 and lastly 8 is lower left between 3,2... where am i going with this.... well we use the numbers (or angles) to help get us into better positons to block off attacks.. but it also gives more power (and have to use less energy) to deliver moves...
Do any of you use this kind of training method or principle as my instrustor says.
I think its adapted from Kosho Ryu and the theroies they have on natural laws and movements...
It really cool.. it make a difference when we practise our patterns.. granted its not somthing I have mastered (geez just understanding it is still settling in) but you can notice a increase in the energy out put.. but its a lot less effort on my part.. (if that even makes any sense!!)
Just wanted to get other's thoughts on this!!!:asian:
