Hyeong Advanced Forms of Gongkwon Yusul

[SpikyPeahorn]

Those pad combinations are called Jook Sool Bon.

[SpikyPeahorn]

@SpikyPeahorn

and the locks at the end with master kang and the black belt in blue are from the 4th Matdegi series needed for brown belt, brown in australia anyway, may be different for spain, brazil, germany etc.

[SpikyPeahorn]

@SpikyPeahorn

in black i mean

[wangkon936]

Oh... and some hapkido throws.

[SpikyPeahorn]

@wangkon936

Gongkwon Yusul is a hybrid art combining hapkido, jiu jitsu, judo, elements of boxing/MT and some karate styles. Master Kang is a 5th or 6th dan black belt in hapkido and also a judo black belt/champion.

[wangkon936]

Looks like Karate mixed in with a little Muay Thai elbow and knee action and some Jujitsu.

[bruderli]

korejski jeet kune do

[cardonaman]

ouch to those slams on hardwood floors!

[joe232avi]

man these asians over exaggerate when they tap out -.-

[program363]

@joe232avi I was training out in korea with these guys I can promise you that they aren't exaggerating not one bit.

[susotiger]

estoy deseando q llegue el diez de abril para hacer el curso en espartinas !!! un abrazo Pablo !!!!!! Ho sin!!

[unclesonnyonutube]

love that last technique at 1:48 ....i call it the......

"spin em around and set em down"

very efficient use of momentum against the opponent.

[cheaptrades]

definitely from aikido, minus the rear naked, which is a cool addition

[billysue2]

it has absolutely no influence from aikido whatsoever,it only uses effective techs .

[kessedy]

@billysue2

its obvious you have no clue about aikido :D

[slyme1711]

notice how the poor guy on the recieving end has to tap out like eighteen times. I trained with a Korean teacher for a few years, still have nightmares about it, toughened me up though.

[headkicka]

i love this guys style i do wing chun and i keep borrowing from this

[kessedy]

and if they are not acting then then theyr suffering from the same amount of pane that would be from braking a wrist or heavily damaging it, in other words from one of those controls he wouldnt stand up and be an uke on other technique :D

[kessedy]

Its complete overreaction :D I have been doing martial arts not some fancy acting, and at these videos its obvious theyr acting ;) the techniques are good but huge dramatation is in place :D so it would look even more effective ^^

O yea answer to other your comment:

Teachers or sensejs:

Yukka Helmiken (finland) - aikijujutsu + aikido

Girts Niedritis (latvia) - jujutsu + muaythai elements

Ainārs Broks (latvia) - judo

[MasterHatfield]

What you say I do feel is drama but just show. I feel that you should know that many guys we have trained with that do aikido when we come in to do throws dont like to do real throws also. Try not to throw to many stones my friend.

[kessedy]

@MasterHatfield

sorry if my comment looked bad.. i like this art, tho i would prefer jujutsu anyway, tho they are very similar.

only difference is that we have arms higher.. but that is a question of style of the fighter.. so im not throwing rocks at you, because it would mean that i am bashing my own face against a pile of rocks :D

[wheeoui]

You've obviously never taken a martial art if you asking that question.

[GangsterRomance]

*don't*

[KyokushinKarori]

All martial arts are a  process of discovery. They are formed by people who have a concept that they put together after experiencing different fighting systems. The heart is put into it by the practitioners and founders attitude. Its great that he has started a beautiful and practical style.

[MooneShadow]

As Martial artists we should accept knowledge like an empty cup, ready to fill it and drink from it. Not reject the very water that makes us grow. Knowledge is power and being ever so stubborn about tradition will only keep you from the truth. That every martial art had holes and by mixing them you can fill those gaps and create a complete very effective system. Samuri believed in being ready for any situation which is why they studied every weapon including unarmed combat. Why is this wrong?

[GangsterRomance]

Hm....Well, I see not as to why my comment was so disapprovingly looked down upon...For, I merely stated the same thing, except I did not sugar-coat the changing of the tides...

Everything I stated was in-fact, factual..

But, the main basis of my comment was to say -- Let us not forget were we stem from...tis all..

Hence, the inner essence, which is the main essence...I am not agains't the blending of art's..hence, why I stated "would not necessarily make the martial-art unpractical"...

[GangsterRomance]

I suppose, my fist line threw people off..=) Making my comment seem to be that of bais..

And, I could have reworded it a bit differently..

[MooneShadow]

Yes the first sentence says that if you blend you take the essence of Hapkido away. But in essence Hapkido is INDEED a mixed Martial art as is. So adding to it would be only logical if hapkido is missing a ground game.

[GangsterRomance]

Indeed...

I whole-heartedly agree...

Can't truly argue agains't that logic or reasoning...

I just feel that we shouldn't forget the root's..

Aside from that..

Hapkido, is essentially grappling, my friend...So, to stay it is "missing" a ground game, is putting a rather heavy empathis on the main integral essence of the art...But, blending, none-the-less wouldn't make it less effective...so, indeed..We are both correct, in various ways..

[MooneShadow]

Grappling dosent mean ground game. In Martial arts there are different grappling systems and Hapkido was one of those systems that grappled BUT it emphisised on small circle techniques, not ground game techniques. Its only now that the ground game is being introduced into the Hapkido game. Hapkido didnt have a ground game, and mixing it is the way to go because again, Hapkido was a mixed martial art and all martial arts like life are evolving to adapt and over come. Mixing it is the thing to do.

[GangsterRomance]

I kind of disagree on such thing's...

grappling, and that of ground-game, differ and vary in certain aspect, but, both translate unto the same thing...

grappling - the act of engaging in close hand-to-hand combat;

grappling - the sport of hand-to-hand struggle between unarmed contestants who try to throw each other down

I understand what you mean, however, Hapikdo, is based on grappling, and, at times, ground game....

[MooneShadow]

Akido is grappling, yet has no real ground game. Like Hapkido used to be until the UFC showed up and all of a sudden it has a ground game.

There are many others... I think you are confused. Grappling just like the word Jujitsu covers so many aspects of the game that you cant just describe it as grappling or Jujitsu. I agree in mixing Hapkido with Jujitsu and making it a part of the art. Hapkido was originally a mixed martial art so it works. Evolution is good for martial arts like Hapkido...

[cheaptrades]

Ji han Jae lineage hapkido is definitely more mixed, not lim hyun soo lineage

[GangsterRomance]

I have learned many a techniques where you move from the standing up position unto the ground...Hapkido, teaches one more then the other...but, hand to hand combat..I.E. Grappling, ground game..is the main essence of it already...I do hope you don' believe I am argueing with you, my friend..=/

[Smiles softly]

[MooneShadow]

Yeah in akido and certain Aiki Jujitsu styles they throw an opponent to the ground and pin them to the ground. That is a throw and a finish, not a ground game. Grappling with out a ground game.

Ground game is like Judo, with its triangle chokes and armbars, which BJJ took from Judo and improved upon and based their entire game on the ground.

Im a second degree in Hapkido so I know what im talking about. Its just these past years its been incorperated into the style which is a good thing.

[Enreeckeh]

hehe. usually when my buddys tap i let go.

i think is hilarious that they just keep the submission going.

[neomauresque]

bad ass korean !i like thise guy

[misfit1978]

Nice!

[perpetualsublime]

is that hardwood flooring... damn! tight moves!! real situation real moves

[tincannmann]

no mate, its slightly padded floor, its just the lino that makes it look wooden, though it doesn't have much give to it.

[ByAnyAndAllMeans]

Interesting form.

[USMHK]

Arashipower: I think that its good to mix kyokushin with hapkido, punches and kicks are allmost the same, but in kyokushin people are more focused in punching and kicking.Hapkido on the otherhand is more focused on locking and throwing aspects of fighting.Good fighting skill needs both.

[kempobrad]

just my opinion, but hapkido does'nt need kyokushin, it has more kicks and strikes anyway. not to say that mixing them wouldn't be good, but not necessary

[statechamp86]

Like streaching though dont have to have it but best if working a true martial art then you need it. Many of kicks and such come from TKD that is the main style for Korea. My Master told me just like them that find the truth and only teach that. This style I love it. I think as Bruce Lee sayed they need to cut the fat from the art to make it true. You will see as this get more developed and I go there with people and talk also I think there will be one mind and body.

[arashipower]

My reference to compare Kyokushin with Hapkido as not well seen by some. But you do not think I used two martial arts developed by Koreans and the fact that unknowing this martial art.

I am not criticizing it.

I liked these techniques.

[arashipower]

Looks like Kyokushin movements and Hapkido trowings

[rotarylove]

this seems like a good style - striking, takedowns, and submissions wow!

[m00lkimch1]

gongkwon yusul> BJJ

[zerggyboi]

doing break fall w/o mats... ouch.

[Miyabiii]

haha so cool! the guy in the black gets whats comming to him when the gm fights ! karma!

[reallycalmer]

on top of that do demo videos really need all that leg swinging around?

[KawaiiBanana]

um yes... avoiding grabs and flips of pain, you follow the direction of flip. and it gives momentem of kicking as well.

[Cizma]

nice, but when he locks him the bitch doesnt release XDXD

[TheJutsu14]

sweet vid but i hate ppl who dont' let go when u tap, that's being such an asshole

[boshiken]

well yusul (or some kind of spelling) has been around for a looooooooooooong time

[countchocolate]

Hapkido for sure.

[Nomad101]

Is it.. Kyokushin karate meets brazilian ju jutsu? :) This is probably a fairly new style?

[murigno]

great
