If you go to Arecibo (North) go to VEGA's KOREAN MARTIAL ARTS INSTITUTE. Not only you can train in Hapkido but in Modern Farang Mu Sul also. Ask for Master Dennis Vega or Instructor Francisco Delgado. Tell them I send you they know me as David "Bohemio".

All the information that you posted is very useful. I have been interested in visiting the academy in Arecibo. The Philipino seminar is interesting but I allready have plans with my family. Muchas Gracias por la sugerencia! :D
What part of Puerto Rico are you from?

[ELBOHEMIO]

Debi suponer que sabias español por tu apellido :rolleyes: .

Yo soy de Camuy :bow: .

Si vas esta semana que viene ahora puede ser que no consigas a Master Dennis por que hasta donde se el y un grupo partio para San Francisco para el Torneo de Modern Farang Mu Sul y a entrenar con GM De Alba. Debe llegar el Jueves.

De Francisco no se pues hace un tiempo no voy al dojang, ya lo sabre el Lunes que espero poder ir :( . Cualquier cosa enviale un email a Francisco pacohapki@hotmail.com y el te puede informar mejor.

En esta area es la unica de hapkido que conosco y una de Combat Hapkido y TKD en Utuado :rolleyes: que esta mas o menos.

Me es mas facil si me dices hacia que pueblo vas y te dejo saber. Si hay de otros estilos por si te interesa.

En Manati hay un instructor estudiante de nuestro antiguo maestro Rafael Martinez "retirado" que tiene un dojang por si te interesa.

Cualquier cosa mi direccion de email es: elbohemiopr@hotmail.com y sinceramente es donde mas facil me pueden encontrar.

Un placer!!!

Dear Tony,
Moderator

I understand your point about English only !
But please I hope you also understand that the spanish community is the biggest foreing community in the USA and some times is very nice to find somone who speak and understand your laguaje. So it feels nice to communicate in your original languaje.
Per constitutional rigths there is not official languaje in the United States of America.
America is one from the North Pole to the south in the Artic Ocean Argentina or Chile.
Budo/ Mudo is not only for Anglos or North Americans :)
We must accept all cultures and languajes in this forum.

Your toughs ?

I was being fascetious and practicing my Spanish at the same time. I am of Dominican descent. I speak, write and read Spanish even though I was born and raised here. I am very proud of my heritage.
On that note, I (and most moderators) don't have a problem with members on occasion communicating in another language as long as it doesn't become habitual.
As far as the Constitution, that doesn't apply here. This is a private forum, thus it is also in the rules.
And as for this country not having an official language, maybe it should, but this is not the proper venue for that discussion.

Especially NOT in the Hapkido Forum. Discussions are always SO Pleasant here :D !

I’m not sure what geographical part of the Island are you on but there are a couple Hapkido schools that you can visit, other that Arecibo.

Ponce, Carolina, Bayamon and Canovanas.

Let me know were are you located and I will give you an address and a contact person.

Hello just to clarify so you wont make the trip in bane.

CNT of Contry Club those not teach hapkido still, and is run by Master Edgardo Garcia a TKD student of Master Sellas. He is working on his HPKD – BB, probably testing for it this summer. Actually he could be a 4th Dan in Hapkido in terms of training and time but that is a long story.

Master Sellas Dojang is located at:
Avenida Roberto Clemente D-19 Villa Carolina PR.
He is a direct student of GM Kwan Sik Myung and is consider one if not the Pioneer of Hapkido in PR.
He has in his dojangs as assistant instructors two of the best hapkido instructors in the island. Mr. Rivera, and Mr. Segarra.

Website under construction; http://www.puertoricotaekwondo.com/

Also a student of Master Sellas in Canobanas and a great instructor both in Hapkido and Taekwondo.

Master Elvin Landrau; he has been teaching hapkido I think since I meet him in 1989 or so. Very good very realistic training.
Global Taekwondo Hapkido Academy http://www.globaltkd.com/menu.html


This 4 gents. are great instructors I personally list them among the best in PR in terms of Hapkido, If you need information for other Hapkido schools in the island let me know.

[ELBOHEMIO]

BOCHINCHE!!!

OK, Mr. McGeehan and Mr. Urena. No problem I will write in english so everybody can enjoy the a new "Bochinche" in the forum (lol) ;). Be Waters My Brothers

[ELBOHEMIO]

Ramfis,
Joe is going to stay in Aguadilla. The only School I know there is William Sanchez Combat Hapkido and TKD dojang.

[TonyU]

Good one.

BTW, Tony is good enough. Everytime someone calls me Mister another gray pops out.

[Joehkd]

I will like to thank all of you for your help. :bow:
Is good to know that there is good quality of Hispanic Martial Artist.
I will be staying in Aguadilla. I contacted Mr. William Sanchez from Aguada and he welcome me to his Dojang and Master Allison from Georgia gave me some information of a student of his in San German. Also El Bohemio has given me good information of the Arecibo Dojang. And I will do my best to visit these schools while I'm visiting my family for two weeks.
Thank you! :bow

I'm glad you made contact with Sanchez. Like I told you in my email he is very nice person. I hope you can join us for a class in Arecibo.

Saludame a William de mi parte.
