Click Here To Receive Your First Class Free Hapkido The Korean martial art of Hapkido is becoming increasingly popular. Hapkido is primarily defensive in nature, however it can be very offensive when the need arises as most of its techniques are based on an opponent’s attack and once the attack has been nullified, a soft or hard counterattack is launched, depending on the severity of the attack. Hapkido combines punching, kicking, throwing, takedowns, sweeping, falling, rolling, joint locking, pressure points, restraining, breakaway techniques and weaponry to make it one incredibly complete martial art system. The name Hapkido translates as ‘the Art of Co-Ordinated Power’ – Hap meaning co-ordination, Ki meaning power and Do meaning art. Hapkido’s modern history is relatively new, although it does have links with Korea ’s Buldo Mu Sool (Buddhist Monks’ Martial Arts) and was modernised by Master Yong Sool Choi who officially named it Hapkido in 1963. Before that time only selected Buddhist monks and, before this century, only members of Royalty were allowed to learn the secrets of Hapkido. The main principles of Hapkido are flowing, circular motion, evasion and redirection of force, particularly using force on an attacker against themselves, a definite advantage for a smaller or weaker defender against a larger, stronger opponent.
