i met GM Ho Sik Pak, the head of the fed. and it uses a few. nothing extensive. basic stuff really. not so much in the throws, more on the joint locks, but only for self defense.

Sorry I didn't respond to this earlier, but have been busy & just re-registered. Yes, we use joint locks & throws a great deal. GM Pak has BJJ classes at his dojang. We also have a number of masters who teach Hapkido as well & use them as a resource. If you ever find yourself in Tarzana, CA call him up, he always enjoys having visitors to the school.

Greetings,

Sorry I didn't answer before. So that means that you can pracitce any other martial arts without any political problems?? Can you tell me how much is the testing fees for each Gup?.

I'm thinking in joining his Fed for a long time, cause I want to add TSD to my Korean MA training.

Thanks Again

Mr. Rodriguez,
Yes, you can practice any other martial art you wish, & he has no problem. I also practice TKD, Moo Jung Gum Do, and play with a few others.
As for the test fees, I honestly have no idea. He leaves that up to the individual instructor & we send him a portion for the certificate & mailing cost. I teach at a college & the students are poor, so I only charge $40 or so. Email him sometime if you wish to talk, he is very easy to get along with.
If you wish, you can email me if you have any other questions.
Take care,
J Pistella
