Continue According to Mark Tedeschi, in his mighty volume, Hapkido and Tradition - Philosophy - Technique, The History of is essentially an oral tradition. Very little was actually recorded until recently. When we explore a wide range of martial arts, it quickly becomes apparent that much of their history is contradictory. It is not uncommon to find a particular martial art, tracing its roots to the dawn of time. Specific stories are often touted as a fact where they can be little more than anecdotes, or a free collection of unfounded myths. This is especially true of , given that the country is so closely surrounded by China and Japan. Tedeschi claims that the Korean Peninsula was first inhabited by nomadic tribes from China, around 30,000 BC He also says that the descendants of these nomadic peoples were almost certainly influenced by contacts with the Chinese, who created outposts in Korea around 108 AD. B.C. Permanent wars between the two countries later led to the creation of three kingdoms in Korea: Goguryeo, Sylla and Baekje, from 18 BC The Period of the Three Kingdoms lasted almost 700 years before they were united in 668 AD During the Three Kingdoms, as they say, between Korea, China and Japan there was a lot of intercultural exchange and contact. It is therefore very likely that the traditions, culture and practice of martial arts in each country have also influenced each other to some extent.

Kong Shin Bup International LLC - 1928 Robinwood Drv, Warrington PA 18976 - 971-645-1152 - [email protected] the term Cook Sul (National Martial Arts) does not describe any art, but the combination of many arts is primarily Korean. Cook Sul HapKiDo, Cook Sul Won, Kong Shin Bup, Hwa Rang Do and other Korean martial arts systems are derived from the same basic art with Korean, Chinese and Japanese influences. The main difference between the typical HapKiDo curriculum and the Kuk Sool curriculum is the inclusion of empty hands and weapons in the art of Cook Sul. Cook Sul Hapkido and Cook Sul Won are almost the same art. You will find Cook Sul Won popular in the U.S. under GM Su, In Hyuk and Cook Sool HapKiDo popular in Korea under Seo, In Sun. Although the spelling of surnames are different Suh / Seo grandmasters brothers. The main difference between the two associations is that WKSW requires its members to follow a much stricter set of policy guidelines. 1992 Cook Sul Won School Class Picture Kevin Janisse with Song Jin Su 1996 Cook Sul won Promotion Class Picture Testing Requirement Chart Cook Sul Won the curriculum (in effect immediately from January 2014 ) Testing Requirements All application forms must be purchased from your The journey of thousands of miles begins with, but a one-step martial arts style is taught in the KMAC Valley called Kuk Sul Hapkido, or Han Mu Do (translated as Korean martial arts).

Why do you think you know the answers? It's hard to see what the actual facts are - even when there are written records, sometimes writers are biased. Although I have used books, websites, mailing lists, questions to my teachers, etc., I am not a trained historian and I am not claiming that these answers are all the ultimate answers to these questions. But they are my answers to these questions based on what I have experienced, seen and heard from several sources over three decades of martial arts studies. If something I'm saying makes you crazy, I'm easy to find. :) Most of these issues relate to different views on history. It doesn't matter to me. First, Hapkido is a martial art that has changed and continues to change over time. In other place, the term art in martial arts implies creativity and individual expression. Each teacher teaches a little differently, and each student will find certain methods to just work better for them than others, so that each martial art becomes an individual martial art. The important thing is that you train to achieve your goals, not who created this particular method of learning. I capitalized the surnames and used the Western approach of establishing them last; You will often see them reversing in the Asian way. David N. Beck, Richardson Texas W. What's the difference between and hapkido? Sometimes not all that much; there was a lot of cross-pollination. Virtually everyone in Korea gets some taekwondo training (is it their national sport - ever know an American boy who would never play baseball?). Specialty jumping spinning kicks Hapkido proved very useful for demonstrating and breaking goals and got adopted in taekwondo. Any Hosinsool (self-defense) techniques involving joint locks or throws you see in taekwondo got taken from Hapkido. Although TKD is better known for kicking than HKD, HKD has a wider range of strokes. But on the other hand, any HKDists who want sparring tend to do so in accordance with TKD rules and adapt their methods accordingly. There's a lot of mixed versions out there; Although it is usually a lot heavier on the TKD side; TKD is easier to learn and easier to market. Go far enough in any and you'll learn some from the others, so how much does it really matter? In general, if the sport is oriented, it is taekwondo; and if self-defense is oriented, it's Hapkido. What's wrong with the types of TKD doing Hapkido training workshop? Nothing if it is used properly. There are many many many more places like TKD than HKD, and many schools make a kind of mix; do some Hapkido as a self-defense part of his curriculum. I have attended, hosted and taught many seminars, and much can be learned from But for yourself and for the vast majority of people, learning something well takes time. For anything physical, repetition to acquire muscle memory is absolutely necessary. So if the material shown at the seminar is not practiced enough over time, it is lost. The continued regular practice of Hapkido with a good instructor will correct errors in your practice and stop bad habits from taking root. But the workshop is here and the workshop there isn't going to do much more than give you an idea of the material. So, I feel that doing rank-and- file tests at a seminar that just check out what was developed at this seminar is a bad practice. This tends to help memorize specific methods done shortly before, without understanding the principles underlying the methods or being able to apply the techniques in different situations. And for me it's like someone playing scales against someone playing music. If it's a mouth technique, you're not a martial artist. Who founded Hapkido? Some sources will say Yong Sool CHOI (1904-1986), some will say Han Jae JI. My answer is Ji, and call Choi the father of Hapkido. Why is Yong Suol Choi considered the founder? Because all the branches of Hapkido return to Choi, and Choi was the principal teacher of Han Jae-ji. Yong Sool CHOI was brought to Japan as a child and presumably became the adopted son of the famous martial arts master Daito-Ryu Aikijujitsu Sokaku Taeda (1860-1943). He was believed to have been with Takeda until Takeda's death, after which Choi returned to Korea and soon after opened a school. The question is: Why supposedly? Choi has always maintained that he studied with Takeda, but no one in Takeda's family said they remember him. Takeda kept a meticulis record of those he coached to the level of exactly what technique he taught, who and how much he charged for it. However, none of the names Choi used appears in the reports, and there are some Korean names out there, including at least one with a teaching license. Choi claimed he had licenses to study at Takeda, but said the bag he was wearing was stolen from him at a train station upon arrival in Korea after Takeda's death. At the time, Korean children often consisted of wealthy Japanese families as servants. Perhaps Choi was a servant in the family and around (carrying bags, etc.), but not an actual participant in Takeda's seminars. But you certainly expect the family to remember him and they say no. As for the adopted son, perhaps Choi just looked at Takeda as his father, and there were some misplaced translations in the interview. Culturally, the admission of any Korean into a Japanese family would be very unlikely. There were other Daito-ryu aikijujitsu teachers, I think that perhaps Choi was a second- generation student of Takeda, not the first generation. No matter and from whom he learned, Choi was a formidable martial artist when he returned to Korea Takeda's death. Why is JI considered a founder? Because Ji came up with the name, added many different things to art, and bears a great responsibility for the spread of Hapkido. Between 70-80% of Hapkido branches can be traced back to Ji. Choi was actually directly taught to very few people because he always charged very high rates and the training was very serious. Choi never taught high, spinning, or jumping with his feet; Kane, personnel or other weapons; or breathing exercises -- these things were added to Gee. Most of the new styles of martial arts come from a single person, studying several different arts under multiple teachers, merging some things and changing others, and then teaching the result under a new name. Choi never claimed to have studied with any other teacher other than Takeda, and never modified what he taught. Han Jae-di began martial arts training in 1949 at the age of 13 with Choi in Seoul. He trained for 7 years full-time with Choi. Ji has learned meditation techniques, weapons, and Tae Kyung kicks from a man he knows as Wise Man Lee since the age of 18. He learned more meditation techniques from a Taoist monk lady he knew only as a grandmother. During this time, he also trained with Choi. Ji moved to his hometown of Andun, opening a school there (An Moo ) as the third Dan in 1956. He taught Yoo Kwon Sool there for 9 months and then moved to Seoul and opened a school at a tie factory he called Sung Mu Kwan. He received more students and was soon able to teach in a boxing gym. He added techniques to combat boxing style punches at this time. In 1958, Ji moved to a school in Chung Bu Shi Chang, where he continued to teach until April 1960. During this period, Ji began adding basic kicking and punching techniques taken from other Korean schools and his Tae-kyun training. In 1959, he decided that his system was quite different from the culturally patterned Japanese jitsu to call it Hapkido. In the early 60's, Gee was merging in the methods and changing his curriculum. Fellow student Choi and ji's good friend, Moo-Wong Kim, gave input and advice for 8-9 months in 1961 to help complete the kicking curriculum. Kim also trained at Tae-Kyun and was a noted football player. Ji suggested that Choi use the name, and Choi then taught to use hapkido as a name until his death in 1986. Choi continued always with his initial teachings, which meant that most of the striking, kicking techniques and methods of the weapon were omitted. So if what Choi taught was just Daito-Ryu Aikijujitsu, why not keep calling it that? Choi didn't care what it was called. At first, he called it yavar. Then 'Dai Dong Ryu Yu Sool', the Korean equivalent of Daito Ryu Many of Choi's students had experience in other martial arts, and Korean names were coveted rather than Japanese names. So he became Dai Dong Ryu Yu Yu Sool', then Hapki Yu Kwon Sool, then eventually Hapkido. The question is: Isn't it inconsistent to call Ji the founder of HKD and not call Hong Hi Choi the founder of TKD? Don't both create a name, add things to art, and distribute it widely? No, it's more of a matter of degree. Ji is directly responsible for the differences between HKD and Daito-Ryu Aikijujitsu, including the name, and at least 70% of the HKD line is his. Choi is not responsible for any differences between TCD and its karate ancestors, except for the sinus wave (made only in ITF TKD) and several forms of ITF, it may or may not be responsible for the name of taekwondo, and its share in the TKD line is less than 10%. And even this percentage is more correctly attributed to Tae Hee Nam. You can read more about this about the controversial frequently asked TDD issues. What's the difference between Hapkido and Aikido? The founder of Aikido Morehi USHIBA studied with Sokaku TAKEDA for a number of years, as well as a number of other teachers before forming Aikido. The simultaneous technique is very obvious between the two arts in circular non-resistant movements, joint locking and throwing. Both are even written with the same Chinese characters. However, the philosophy is different in that Hapkidoist mixes hard with soft, including kicks and punches; Plus feet are usually a little different. Perhaps CHOI has never directly studied with TAKEDA, but only watched (and aikidoists wear khakam - which block viewing feet). Or perhaps the cross-influence of other Korean kicking/punching art since Hapkido changed his legs. There's been enough cross-influence training over the years that it's very hard to keep track of. There were HKDists who studied Aikido and aikidoists who studied Hapkido, with the main crossover influence being Hapkido GM Jae Nam MYONG. Myung founded the International Hapkido Federation (one of the 3 leading HKD organizations in Korea) and became a representative of the International Aikido Federation in Korea. What is the difference between Hapkido and Kydo? None. The same Chinese written symbols are used for Hapkido and Aikido. In the early 1960s, President Chung Hee PARK lifted import restrictions from Japan, and Ji came across a book about Aikido and noticed it for the first time. He did not want them to have the same name and dropped Hap out of his art. In 1963, the Korean government granted a charter through the Ministry of Education to establish the Korean Kydo Association, with Choi as Chairman and Jun Yong Kim as First Secretary. Most of Ji's students didn't like the name change, and many continued to call him Hapkido, plus Ji and Kim didn't get along. By 1965, Ji was in the politically influential position of chief instructor for the president's security forces and left the Kydo Association to form the Korean Hapkido Association. Korean Kydo Association many members have become something of an umbrella organization for Korean martial arts who do not want to associate themselves with taekwondo and Kukkiwon. It has expanded to become the World Federation of KiDo, and now it contains Hapkido, Cook Sul Won, Hvarangdo, Tuk Gong Mul Sul, etc. at least 31 styles finally count. It is headed by GM In Sun SEO, whose brother Hyuk SUKH founded Cook Sul. It remains one of the three main Hapkido organizations in Korea. What is the difference between Hapkido and KukOm Sul? Not many, mostly more palm heel bumps and Chinese weapons training from the southern mantis. Any other differences seem to be in the attributes; Amateur uniforms, emphasizing flashier techniques, etc. in Sun SEO studied Hapkido with Yong Suol Choi and earned a black belt in 1958. Founder Cook Sul Won, in Hyuk SUH, is the older brother of SEO (the same name is pronounced 's uh', they just spell it differently in English). Su claims that everything in Cook Sul from his grandfather is passed down from generation to generation from the original Korean Royal Martial Arts that he never studied with Hapkido with Choi or kung fu with monk He Dong and Wang Tae Yeui. But Su is extremely nationalistic, and the discounts are all non-Korean. He sees HKD Choi as Japanese daito ryu aiki jiu-jitsu, and kung fu as Chinese. I think Su can probably justify himself by saying that he never trained with Choi because he came through his brother. But you look at the techniques and Cook Sul Won Is Hapkido with a few other things added in. What is the difference between Hapkido and Hwangdo? Not much. The founder of Hwarangdo, Dr. Ju-Bang Lee studied Hapkido in private lessons with Choi, and also visited and trained in many Schools of Hapkido, including training with Moo-Wong Kim and Ying Hyuk Su, founder of Kuk Sul. He claims to have combined a bit of HKD with secret methods taught by him and his brother Ju Sang Lee to a monk named Sahr Dosa to create -do. Supposedly the techniques have been secretly passed through 57 generations of warriors/monks since the Silla Dynasty and the days of hwarang. Dr. Lee had his own school back in 1960, and was promoted to 8th degree by Yong Suol Choi at the same time as Han Jae-di in May 1968, so his skill level is certainly excellent. In 1961-68 he called his school Hapkido school. But soon after, he allegedly received permission from Sahma Dosa to teach secret techniques, founded Hvarangdo and moved to the United States. The actual differences with Hapkido seem to be in the attributes - more philosophical and Korean cultural things based on historical hwarang, some shapes and more strikes than is typical in HKD, and more weapons training. But all the methods of self-defense in his 3-book HKD series. Both forms and the methodology is very similar to Cook Sul. How many stocks are put into secret methods and 57 generations are passed from monk to monk - well, I won't say it's impossible. I'll add that the reputation of Cook Sul and Hwarangdo to the extent that the dojang technique is heavy - really fancy impractical stuff. However, I have seen and felt the technique of In Sun SEO and some of its best people and they can make it work. And Taedjun Lee seems to be adapting his father's art to meet today's learning needs for modern weapons. What is the difference between Hapkido and Krav Maga? In the late sixties, Wu Jun Kim, also president of Dae Woo, a company with many interests in the Middle East, was president of the Hapkido Association in Korea. Many HKD instructors went there and taught police and officers. Founder Krav Maga was a very experienced Israeli boxer and wrestler who participated in some of these exercises, studied some other martial arts as well, and boiled his knowledge in a very simple quick to learn the practical system to teach the Israeli armed forces. The style looks like some basics from a number of martial arts including HKD. It's a good combat system; It's very hard for me to call it martial arts. There's little creativity or flexibility; It is a drill to set muscle memory and blast the enemy, there is no art involved. This immediate destruction is not nonsense stuff, great for an ambassador in the army; Not so good for graduate response levels needed for police officers or for the general person in today's society. I would say the same thing about Haganah, or so many xyz 'combatives' self-defense courses that are now. What is the difference between Hapkido and Viet No Vuem? In 1967, KHA sent 15 members of demonstration groups to Vietnam and taught Korean, American and Vietnamese troops and special forces. Viet No Vuem is a Vietnamese martial art that appeared shortly thereafter based on this training. Viet No Vuem seems to be a basic HKD with some TKD mixed as well as advanced acrobatic falls and rolls from Hapkido. What is the difference between Hapkido and Han Mu Do? Han Mu Do is a combination of Hapkido, Cook Sul and Taekwondo. Dr. Kimm is a pioneer of HKD in the United States, a scholar, historian and author of the Hapkido Bible. Train with it if you ever get a chance. What is the difference between Hapkido and Hanhido? Hanhido is a combination of Jae Nam MYONG Hapkido and Aikido. Introduced in 1992, it tries to be easy to use martial arts. Myung was the head of the International Hapkido Federation. Myung died in 1999, and his IHF is headed by his son Song Kwang Myung. This IHF is actually a 3-point organization that teaches martial arts hapkido under the banner of the International Hapkido Federation, under the banner of the International Federation of Hankido and Hankumdo (Korean Sword) under the banner of the International Hankumdo Federation. Many IHF already, plus there are at least two other completely unrelated International Hapkido Federations, one led by the late Bong so HAN, and the other by James Benko s. What exist organization Hapkido? There are many, no clearly dominant, as TKD has in WTF. The joke is that the first thing a Korean does when opening a school in the U.S., is start your own organization... Anyway, I've listed only the ones I know a thing or two about; There are many more. Note: The same word in Korea is used for federation or association, so some of them may be misleading. American Hapkido Association - Chong Min Lee of the American Hapkido Association - Mike Wollmershouser Wollmershouser was a student of Choi, his biography says that the highest ranking American ever taught Choi. It was active in the northeastern United States. There was a video series he put out in the 1980s that I saw one or two of; Cheap quality tapes, but excellent methods have shown it's well worth getting if you can find them. He died of cancer a few years ago. International Hapkido Federation - James Benko, ph. D International Wrestling Federation HKD - John Pellagrini. Pellingrini has a reputation for taking out much of Hapkido's curriculum and primarily markets for martial arts other styles by focusing on workshop training. It is my opinion and that many others that it is a disservice to HKD that makes it easy to get a hkD rank and promote a picture of it as an add-on style rather than a complete martial art it is. After seeing his video, I view on his skill level is that it is far from a grandmaster level. I understand he was a TKD guy who did a few seminars with Mike Wolmershouser and got the HONORARY 1st Dan Black Belt in Hapkido, given to a seminar in 1988, and then bounced around the organization, attending seminars and jumping in the rank; emerging from 6th Dan when he created ICHF in 1992, and shortly thereafter get the 8th Dan from In Sun SEO. I think since he was able to get the rank of fast seminars and changing organizations he's happy to do the same for others. What little it costs, I started Hapkido before he did. I started training in Hapkido in 1983, testing for my 1st Dan in 1987, after my organization guidelines in going through the ranks one by one never missing any, and I got the 6th Dan in June 2005 (see my MA resume). It's 18 years from 1st to 6th Dan for me against 4 for Pelligrini... Hapkido International Alliance - Jeff Booth. Grandmaster Booth is a student at DJN Ji. I've hosted it now over 15 times and it's always a lot of fun, with a superb Hapkido and keep everyone smiling with his jokes. Grandmaster Booth has a DVD series, are fantastic -- big big very clear, very well done. It should be noted that Beck Martial Arts is currently a member of the IHA branch. The International Hapki Federation is Jae Nam Myung (deceased), now called the International Hapkido Federation. Close relationship with Aikido organizations. This one also participates in sponsoring HKD competitions. Probably the most famous American related is Marshall Gagne. International Federation hapkido - Bong so Han Han was a student of Ji (starting in 1958) and Choi that claims Choi as his teacher and dissoified from Ji many years ago. He was one of hapkido's first instructors in the United States and is known for the Billy Jack films that gave Hapkido his first great visibility. He also appeared in a Kentucky fried film in the funniest MA-related scenes ever filmed. International Korean Martial Arts Federation - Jan Cyrus - Grandmaster Cyrus is a student of DJN Ji, GM Su, and others, a pioneer who reached the 9th Dan in 1989. I trained with him several times and was very impressed. His experience includes the FBI, striking physics research, and Oriental medicine; and it emphasizes the socially relevant expression of violence (SREV), i.e. the way people express violence as society progresses. Korean Hapkido Association - Duk Kyu Hwang Hwang was Ji's first student in Seoul; his father owned a guesthouse where DJN Ji lived. The name was changed to the Korean Association of the New Martial Art of Hapkido. Korean Hapkido Association - Moo Wong KIM - helped add blows to the HKD Korea Hapkido Federation - Se Lim OH Oh was an early student of Ji in Andon, his first school. KHF generally has a good reputation, with some people in it with impeccable reputations such as Hal Whalen and Holcomb Thomas. But also related previously was Richard Hackworth., of Ocee, Florida. I don't understand all the relationships, but Hackworth marketed himself as a U.S. representative for KHF, as well as a host of other organizations such as the National Association of Han Mu Kwan and the Korean Association of Martial Arts Instructors. My own experience with him was limited to buying from him materials that he presented as the official KHF curriculum. But it was actually just his demands that included some funny things like one armed with wheels. Other reputable HKD people I know have had much worse experience with it, including selling fake certificates. He was also in trouble for selling the false Kukkiwon Taekwondo Certification. I believe that KHF kicked him out in 2003 or 2004, but it took a long time after many numerous complaints. The fact is, buyer beware; any organization can have bad apples. Korean Fighting Arts Brotherhood - This is an umbrella organization between a number of grandmasters each with their own organizations to support knowledge sharing and training. Participate Rudy Timmerman, Jeff Booth, James James Jan Cyrus, Serge Boubil and Michal deAlba. National Korean Martial Arts Association - Rudy Timmerman. That's a great reputation. GM Timmerman is a Cook Sul and Kong Shin Bup man, student in Hyuk SUH, In Sun SEO and others. Based in Canada, his organization has a reputation for not being a politician and helping people learn. World Hapkido Federation - Kwang Sik MYUNG This may be the largest in the United States. Myung was a student of Ji (since 1957), who claims Choi as his teacher. Excellent educational materials (books and cassettes). My second instructor, Yon Sun Kim, was associated with WHF, and so has Beck Martial Arts for years. The reason for switching to djN Ji in an organization for certification was that I had studied directly with DJN Ji many times over the course of over ten years and had never had the opportunity to study directly with GM Myung. World Kydo Federation / Korea Kido Association - In the Sun SEO So was a direct student of Choi. It's a bit of an umbrella organization for non-TKD martial arts in Korea. Many Hapkido kwans are members including Rudy Timmerman of the National Korean Martial Arts Association and Pellagrini International HKD Wrestling Federation so it's grab a bag of people. I've been to Su seminars and can directly witness him and his immediate student experience, although I might quibble with a little bit about teaching methods. He considers himself the oldest man Hapkido, who still lives and teaches with two exceptions: his older brother Ying Hyuk Sukh and Han Jae-yi. It is based in California. World Association Shin Mu Hapkido - Han Jae-di - founder of Hapkido. This is Doju-nim Ji's current organization. It is quite small and has little training materials, but develops more. DJN still actively travels around the world teaching seminars; he retired 4 or 5 times, but always comes back. I have had the pleasure and privilege of taking it several times and Beck Martial Arts is involved in his organization. U.S. Hapkido Federation - Don Burns. Burns is a disciple of Ki- Duk Lee. It is largely a regional organization in Indiana, but has been around for a long time; founded in 1980. It is a non-profit organization with an excellent reputation. Also involved is Robert Spear, author of one of Hapkido's first books. Korean Martial Arts Federation USA - JR West. Now I've been to several Gm West seminars and hosted it once and was very impressed. His reputation as a superb man is well deserved. The integrity, openness and skill of this man is astounding. Train with it if you ever get a chance. He holds a large seminar every six months in Jackson, Mississippi, which attracts many of Hapkido's big people, and his organization does not include any policies; just helping people find out He is the best student Dr. He-Young Kimm and Dr. Kimm is always there for 6-month he-phone and brings some of his books for sale. A good chance for autographs. Universal Hapkido Institute - Ik Hwang KIM Z. Why are all these 10th Dan HKD grandmasters who were ji students claim Choi as his teacher? Korean martial arts masters traditionally learn from several people and then claim one as their teacher, ostensibly the one who most influenced them. So they could study for years under Ji, go to one seminar with Choi, and claim Choi (a better known person) as his teacher. Gee was a very young man when he first started teaching - almost all of his students were older. Another reason is that DJN Ji is a very creative person and will teach everything he felt like teaching that day. When an organization sets specific rank requirements, for example, if it did not follow it or it promoted someone who did not meet those specific requirements; it caused problems. He doesn't like to do the administrative work that's needed to run a good organization. So he would participate in the creation of the HKD organization and then delegate the admin details, eventually there would be some disagreement on some details or another, and he would leave that organization to find another one. And DJN admits he doesn't really like being young - he's not really bland and start using the Taoist theory he put in Shin Moo HKD until after his imprisonment. Prison term? What happened? DJN Ji was the head of presidential bodyguards when the wife of President Jeong Hee Park was killed in an assassination attempt on the life of the president. DJN Ji was out of the country on RDR at the time. DJN Ji was not the head of bodyguards when President Park was assassinated in 1979. The new chief bodyguard was with President Park at the time and was also killed. The killer was the head of the Korean CIA, someone from President Park's inner circle. But Gee resigned after the murder. When he became a civilian, he joined the political party of Min Jun Dang, and made contact with one of two rival groups within the party. Gee began training some people from the group to defend President Doo CHUN when he visits the party's headquarters, and the leader of another group told the president that secret training was underway to topple him. Gee got one year in prison. During this period, he was unable to work, but meditated a lot, and when he came out started Shin Mu Hapkido. What is the difference between Shin Mu Hapkido and other species of Hapkido? Not much. There is a lot of variance throughout Hapkido, with a wide spread of the amount of attention to specific types of methods. But to be called Hapkido, he must have some Compared to all ranges and all types of attacks; and it should include punches, punches, throws, joint locks and pressure points. Teh Teh The time spent on any particular type of methods varies much more with a specific instructor than with a specific HKD or quan organization.
