Hapkido trailer - Martial Arts in Norway

[Xguy890]

1 Question Had Anyone In Here Ever Uses Martial Arts In A REAL I Mean In A REALLLL PHYSICAL FIGHT?!?!?!

[gungnir2357]

You're holding the sword wrong. Very wrong. But then again, the strength of Hapkido is in the joint manipulation, etc., and not really in the weapons use.

[moneymakerism]

looks kind of cheap, ive seen lot better then this

[paxanellie]

Im looking for a sité with this guy but i cant find any, so if someone knows it would be nice to share it!!

[Arthelin]

WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! NORGE!!!!! ^^

[Misterkadir]

he is not interesting in akrobatic moves like ''taekwondo hapkido'' he know what he do and it works, you can use it on the street, in the ring or whatever and it works, hard to believe? try out one of his training and test your skill out whatever you are training.

brors är best

[MOVIERAVER]

Not Bad!!

[Johnnychi123]

I love it! I like your uniforms

[robmcnip]

Is this really representative of Hapkido - I'm very disappointed. Locking techniques are poor, kicks showy, and the weapons technique, well, quite frankly pathetic... Am I being too harsh - I don't think so...

[tehopumppu]

Well obviously you don't know the background of the guy. Afaik he was paralyzed due to an injury with snowboards at one point and he's lucky to even be able to walk. So maybe the techniques themself seem slow but the knowledge he has is beyond everything I've seen in Europe.

[robmcnip]

You made me feel dab, so I watched the video again. Repsect to the man for coming back from his injury, but I still maintain the techiques as displayed in this video are poor and ineffectual, escpecially the weapons technique. Sorry...

[mullahnasruddinQQ]

visit ko myong in germany then

[R4NDALL]

You´re right.

I think to see the "hanminjok- kido federation" flag in the dojang.

The kido federation is famous for accept many "hapkido" schools with a very poor level.

[cuajonpr]

the ones who made this video need to train more, lazy job there...

[EastHelsinki]

I train Taekwondo and Sin Moo Hapkido

[parental0]

ya se que esto no lo vas a entender pero te lo digo.me parece que es una mala representacion para el arte marcial coreano, y una falta de respeto para todos los maestros que entrenaban toda su vida y en secreto como para que usted lo suba a internet.

[kaapeliwc]

its that sin moo style, tolkido our shinson??

[Stelgim]

ok this is something I will learn, practicing by real swords alone is boring. But this school might be interesting.

[yousukcheese]

idk if its true but i heard from sumone tht u need to practice sumthing for 10000 hours or more to be good at it

[skrivbok]

I started to practice Hapkido two weeks ago and alla I can say is that I love it a lot!

[TedWinzent]

Michael Rockz ;)

[Kenoshino]

åj nesten lika rask som ei padda LOL!

And btw! Jiu jitsu and nin jitsu are same thingy only two diffrent styles of the jitsu or Hapkido whatever!

[kempobrad]

they are most certainly not the same thing.

[jomacbub]

Cage fights , TV show, demos , all arts are as just as good and the person who studies, belts mean nothing, the training every single day of your life determines the out come, which can promote the arts. I teach HKD and have been for 14 years, training is rough, we dont waste time throwing punches and kicks into thin air, what is the point in that. I train my students to fit the streets. nothing more then that.

[kempobrad]

personally i think both sides leave out alot. everyone wants to think black (mma) and white (traditional) when the world we live in is very very gray. i imagine the answer lies somewhere in the middle. for example those traditional arts that add bjj or sambo to round out the groundfighting. everything should evolve. as long as it follows the principles espoused by your art, then it is your art...and many others

[kempobrad]

as an example, no mma school on the planet teaches knife or gun defense. also there is a big difference between an agreed fight between two parties, and self defense. but many traditional arts dont/cant go "live" to pressure test their stuff. you should do both.

[kempobrad]

and a big issue is the 'rules' of mma. they say you cant eye gouge, or use small joint locks, and some other traditional techniques because they don't work. i think personally it is because they DO work, only too well. IF..you can pull them off. if you really use kote gaeshi in a real fight, fight's over and you just dislocated the guys shoulder and wrist at least.

[Wallaceshead]

speaking as someone who has encountered both arts TKD kicks hapkido's butt. litteraly.

[Moodo1]

How do you figure? I have a black belt in taekwondo and soon I´ll take my test for 1 Dan in hapkido. TKD guys seem to have a hole lot of problems if you start throwing fists at them. They´re used to having their hands at the waist when they´re fighting and can´t block punches that well. Takedowns work perfectly on tkd practitioners, they can´t block them either. And when it comes to joint locking or grabbing the kicking leg... come on...

[asdfghjklhxc]

I Do Both Hapkido and Taekwon do.. MUAHHAHA

[proskatershawn]

Watch Patenaude Kung Fu its way better

[DagAreHalland]

Hapkido get's pwnd in every single match againts other fighting styles I've ever seen. There is no training in what happands when the fights continues to the floor that I can tell.

This demonstrations wasn't realy that good.

I am from Norway btw ^^

[Drowmerc]

The thing to remember. Martial arts are useful, I have studied a handful, and I feel they've helped in a lot of fights I've been in. Still don't only use martial arts. Supplement what you'd naturally do with them. I can't stress that enough. And if nothing else martial arts are a great work out and toughness builder. Anyone that thinks they are useless in uninformed.

[kempobrad]

IMO. martial arts, and self defense are NOT the same thing. martial arts (whatever the style...even mma) are geared to teach you things about self defense/fighting. but they are not the fight itsself.

[NightIllidan]

true but for example if you train any martial art for 10 years you can kick most peoples asses in a fight

[kempobrad]

not necessarily. but it shouldn't take 10 years to be able to defend yourself,black belt or not. also, that is the very reason i said martial arts teach you things about fighting/self defense, and the very reason most good martial artists can defend themselves against average untrained people...because the 'art' taught them things about self defense. it isnt the art that defeats them, it's how you apply the things the art teaches that defeats them.

[NightIllidan]

yeah i sorta miss read what you wrote, so im with you ^^ you have a very good point indeed ^^

[Ixilla]

What I learned from my few months of Tae-Kwon-Do was that your greatest defense is using your mind, and avoiding conflict whenever possible. However, if someone should manage to 'aggro' you, a quick kick to the head, or a parry followed by a toss should frighten most people away.

[kempobrad]

head kick? a toss? i don't think being "aggro" is normally reason enough to fight. that is fighting. martial arts are self defense oriented. having said that, you better hope you don't miss your head kick, or your likely finished. "toss"???

[jaseth1337]

However, tae kwon do was developed for use by the Korean army in case they lose their weapons. Tae kwon do is in many ways about avoiding conflict and submerging your opponent (without hurting him though)to let him know you can protect yourself. That said, a lot of it still focusses on actual fighting technique. For example, after about a month's training I was taught 6 different ways of breaking someone's neck. That lesson scared me a lot at the time.

[kempobrad]

not in my experience...most schools are all about sport anymore. tip tap game of tag with a bunch of forms, one and three steps. taekwondo was not developed for the military, it was chosen for the military. not that they had many choices IMO. and from what i've been told...if you see any grappling or joint locks or the like in tkd...it's usually from hapkido anyway. not sure why anyone would teach a white belt 1 way to break a neck...let alone 6.

[Zeffar]

you are right and personally i m 3th dan in hapkido and when i got my first black belt my master told me good you know what that means .. it means that you dont use it unless you dont have the choice. So until now i didnt had 1 fight on the street. Being a black belt just make you keep you cool in some situations when the opponent see that you are so calm most of the time he will go away it happened to me so many times

[kempobrad]

well said, i agree and have experience the same things. usually when someone wants to fight, it's because of someone elses sh*t talking anyway...drama drama drama.

[gdataggy]

MMA is shit, no small joint locks no throat strikes or pressure point strikes, Bjj is effective in the cage because it's a sport with rules on the street no rules!

[kempobrad]

i once thought as you do, and still do in a sense. but a bjj guy i know and very much respect (who has a traditional base) says..yes you can eye gouge, use pressure points, kick the knees, use finger locks..but we can do that just as well as you can, just not in the ring. the difference is....we don't have to.

[Setxboy]

Asian Martial arts are for television. Thats why they not only never win in a the "CAGE" but they dont even compete in the cage. Because head kicks and leaving your feet to kick and rondhouses and IMPRACTICAL in street fighting and self defence. How many Jiu-Jitsu practicioners win in MMA how many and Asian martial arts practicioners win in MMA events? Exactly! Taekwondo, Hapkido, Kung-fu, Karate, Nin-jitsu. Bulls**t!

[sagethemanslayer]

i hate whin white people steel our fighting styles

[ollie3003]

is it just me but a 0.50 you can hear a crraccck as he twists the guys wrist

[jebu23]

Hey the weapons forms doesnt look good at all!

How many degrees from 1st blackbelt does one need to be able to call oneself master?

The weapons arent even from hapkido and the joker who is posing with them cant even use them correct.

[ithpally]

the sword form they use in this video is called koreo gumdo which i studied for over a year and still practice today. it is a great style to get into for both exercise purposes and just for the beauty of the art. though they typically dont use katana style swords, but the shorter, straight blades the koreans used.

[DEdge1221]

Out of all the weapons...why does HKD have to use a walking cane? What if you don't need one, thus don't have one handy? Why the cane? Can anyone explain this to me?

[justinhchawaii]

Not sure of the history behind it but my take is that in modern society out of all the weapons one can carry (ex. sword, staff, nunchuku, sticks,etc.) the cane is the only one acceptable to carry on the street without suspision of motives. Also, hapkido is a self-defense based art so older, weaker, or disabled peoples can benefit.

[KapitanMuahaha]

Many cane techniques transfer well to other Hapkido weapons (stick, dan bong, extendable baton, etc). Also, cane techniques are great for those who do need one. Myself, I don't need one but would sure love to learn. My teacher demo'd many techniques on me. Hurt like hell but really cool, and practical

[Turkey11]

these people are obese.

[j230i]

rolig

[NorwegianNegua]

det var  jo jævlig kult

[devilzzzzzzzzzz]

my m8 knows hapkido i know muay thai :D

[Qyama]

WELL , u might wanna join ur m8 in hapkido boy!

[brutaltiger]

very good striker, nice throws but the weapons look a bit sloppy, wiping his nose while doing sword form???

[MajorKreissack88]

Er...whats with the stick? I mean, do they actually have fights with sticks involved?

[Qyama]

really nice moves but u guys gotta train more on ur weapon techniques cause there lame!

[Balisonger]

1:43 he looks sort of demonic ... anyway i enjoyed the parts where he knocked down the punching bags...

[satnite]

hand on ground while doing spinning kick is one of our standard kicks, and has application.

been practicing Hapkido over 10 yrs.--I enjoyed the vido!!

[Hapkido24]

Just of few observations. The weapons work is horrible as are the upper level kicks. The joint locking in general was unimpressive, practice Jobgi to strengthen Keuki. In Korea we do not hold pads for low kicks, which is probably why nobody would hold for this "master". These Hap Ki Do practitioners have been undoubtedly practicing technique long and hard but no upper black belts have told them some of those technique's are being executed wrong.

[mrlee70]

Master Lindström is "the real deal", I can guarantee you that. I don`t know about his systems spinning kick, but it seems like its supposed to be that way (with hand supporting on the ground, kind of like what you see in Capoeira). Remember, there are several Hapkido systems, and they include A LOT of different types of kicks.

[mrlee70]

I who potographed this video, have personally felt the power of the strikes and kicks from Master Lindström, and its awesome. The speed and power of what he does is absolutely fantastic. I have also seen tapes with him from Korea, with several other Hapkido masters. Several of those masters didnt want to hold the pads when Lindstöm was going to kick lowkicks, due to the tremendous power of his kicks.

[johnstoneb]

I have to say that this is the lamest demonstration of hapkido I have ever seen. I find it absolutely disgraceful that people are learning to do spinning heel kicks by putting their hands on the ground. This is obviously a demonstration of someone who has not been able to fully learn the concepts of proper form and control. I find it sad that his "student" is doing the same sort of thing. This video should be taken off. It should not be used as any example of hapkido.

[RobertDudash]

The 'hands on the ground' form of the spinning wheel kick is the 'traditional' form, for a lack of a better term. It takes a great amount of skill to be able to do it without the hands... wish I could.
