Chinese Aiki/Hapki:

[jcwebster]

I am a HKD practitioner but I am curious to know if any Chinese arts have a term like Aiki/Hapki and if so if it is similar to the Japanese and Korean counterparts? I know that the Chinese arts are big on chi/qi but I am specifically interested in anything that resembles Aiki/Hapki.

Look for Chin Na. It means seizing. You typically will not find it taught alone though.

I am very familiar with Chin Na. I have several books and videos on the subject by Willy Lin and Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming. I knew that the Chinese have a martial art similar to Aiki-Jujutsu & Hapki Yusul/Hapkido (Chin Na or Qi Na). But, I am specifically interested to know if the Chinese recognize Aiki or Hapki and if the have a term for it. Of course they recognize Ki (Chi or Qi) but I'm just curious about the concept of Hapki or Aiki not necessarily the techniques. I know it's not that important to my training but I'm just trying to satisfy my own curiosity. Take care :)

reply,

JCBrewster, I have heard of a translation in Mandarin for Hapkido, that has the same meaning. In Mandarin it sounds like this. Hapkido(Hul chi dao), Hapkiyusul(Hul chi lo soo). In Cantonese it is. Hapkido(Hap pai do) not sure of what Hapkiyusul is in Cantonese. I don't know if these translations are right, it's just what I have been told."namaste"

Maybe Bauga would have a similar concept? I understand it's a very circular art.
