As most of you know Hapkido is my passion and Electrical is how I earn my living ,with the economy the way it is there are very few large projects happening anywhere in the country. and having recently being laid off ,the out look for Boston could be two years out of work .:confused: I was...

Two of my sons have been taking Hapkido for about 9 months now. The instructor informed me that they will test for their Yellow belt (or stripe I forget what he said) in May. Fine by me, he's in charge. The school's owner will also be attendance. The class is specifically designed for learning...

We went through some of the guep level techniques a couple of weeks ago, and somebody had the bright idea to film it. Pop on over to YT to watch if you have a mind to be bored. I need to staple my arms to my waist or something when I'm not actually doing something.

Two of my son's Kenneth and Stephen are very excited about their Hapkido class. I am looking for recommendations for a good basic book on Hapkido or videos. I did ask their instructor and he said that the school owner has a small library of books, but I'm looking for something they can utilize...

I will be visiting Memphis from 8th to 11th April. Just wondering if any of you guys is aware of a reputable Hapkido club in or near the city. Cheers,

I am having a bit of difficulty jumping over a high object (3.5ft bag) and completing a breakfall. It might be mental and/or getting enough height. Any suggestions? Thanks Ron

Hello, all. I've been searching for a place in downtown Toronto to train, and have not had much luck. I've found one club near Dupont and Dufferin that looks really good, but I'm not sure I can afford their fees. Koreatown seems mainly concerned with TKD, which doesn't interest me. To the...

Sinmoo Hapkido Meditation and Philosophy Seminar In 1984, when Sinmoo Hapkido was first put into practice, a number of new techniques were taught by Dojunim Ji, Han Jae, to better facilitate the joining of mind and body through Ki development. This two-day event will go in depth into the...

Happy New Year 2010 !:bow: Here let me introduce a small demo vid from the KHF 2009 farewell party. Some punch-blocking techniques are shown. In the vid, the left team shows my favorites.:wink2: Just a small vid, however it's good to see how they are doing, I think. Enjoy!:bow: ...

At the request of alot of friends, family and my fellow hapkidoists I am going to try and start a Hapkido Club. Here are my problems, hopefully I can get some great dieas from my friends here! Problem number one, I need a place to train people, I'm in the Air Force, so I'm going to try and get...

Is anyone on the board a direct student of Master Chin Il Chang or do you know of any schools run by his students? I know he last taught at the teachers annex in NYC but I was wondering if he promoted anyone to Black Belt in his later years or if his students are teaching his style of Hapkido...

Congratulations to Holcomb Thomas on his promotion by the KHF to 8th Dan! Just saw this on another site and thought I'd pass it along

During the proceeding of some joint locking techniques, I could find quite often the cessation of the flow of pressure on the grasping points among many practitioners, especially on the opponent’s hand. Normally for Hapkido joints locking and throwing, we start to attack the opponent from a...

I understand that Sin Moo is now undergoing a major change in leadership as Do Ju Nim Ji, Han Jae is retiring/ selling the rights to Sin Moo to Master MacKenzie. I just wish to ask what, if anything is happening and what direction you believe Sin Moo is heading. Thank-you

I know this is not the newest of topics, but even just the other day I came across a thread on a site and a large majority of people had a very poor opinion of our art. This was not limited to people who never studied the art, but a few claimed 5 to 7 yeas of training. I know what everyone will...
