@drewnut I know this was way too much. I've changed my curriculum a lot since this video was made. I cut it down to five basic techniques and I don't do wrist grabs as the primary attack defense anymore. I made a couple of videos on my curriculum evolution if you are interested.
Give me a break, you can still clinch your teeth and exhale through your mouth. I hear and see a lot of fighters in MMA and boxing exhale through the mouth. Several fighters make a shhh sound while they are fighting. Maybe in some cases I over exaggerated, but I will not agree that exhaling out of your mouth is bad.
Like I said this is so the student can learn the proper way to do the technique. I think all martial arts have static training where the student must learn the proper technique first then go into sparring and resisting partners.
You are pretty closed minded to base the way that I train and teach off of one video.
I totally agree with you Josh. You cannot go full force with strength when showing a technique to the student for the first time. Learn the aspects and how to do it right then have the partner resist. You go all out without practise you'll hurt yourself and your partner. Also you'll look stupid. I don't care what style someone does if a teacher when showing a technique goes all out in speed how the hell will someone learn? The teacher would also be loosing students.
Perhaps you'd benefit more from shutting up and absorbing some wisdom rather than trying to pick holes in things you don't understand in order to try and make yourself look big.
Yes, very realistic. Anyone who's been in a street fight knows that opponents always grab your arm instead of try to kick or punch you when it's anything goes. Very realistic.
I can appreciate some sarcasm. Obviously there is a time and a place for any technique. There are different levels of escalating force. While a police officer cannot elbow and knee everyone that he comes across and a Marine would rather shoot his opponent from 50 yards than try to wrestle with them. We need to pick the best technique for a given situation.
These techniques are great for when the fight has not gone to blows or if you need to control a person. These are also good finishers after you have stunned the opponent.
By the way, like the title says these are whitebelt techniques. This video was made for the purpose of showing the curriculum to students, not to show what a real fight is like.
Why? What kind of a rebuttal was that? This video is far from showing what Hapkido has to offer. We do punching, kicking, striking, throws, ground fighting, weapons, etc. This is just one little part of what white and yellow belts learn.
I have nothing against Krav Maga I think it is a great art. I like learning from other arts and I have adopted some of their training exercises. However, Hapkido is what I practice and teach and I love it so I will stick with it. Thanks
Funny, the Krav instructors I spar with use much the same technique taught much the same way. They also have as much respect for hapkido as we do Krav, which leads me to the conclusion that you are not a skilled practitioner of either art. And given you don't seem to grasp the concept of deriving combat knowledge from structured training I'd suggest you have no real skill in any martial art.
U r 1/2 right; I am not a student of either Muay Thai or Hapkido, & I NEVER SAID I WAS. Ur wrong in that I train BJJ, & have enjoyed watching many a video of BJJ practitioners take you Hapkido fags to the ground, where your flashy kicks and non-resistant joint-locks are absolutely useless, & choke your asses out lovely.
Also, if the KM guys u train with really respected ur crappy Hapkido like u say, they would train Hapkido, not Krav, which takes the best of all styles, & removes the useless.
No need for name calling, I am happy to have a discussion as long as it stays civil.
Do you not think it is benificial for beginners to learn techniques with a non-resisting opponent? Do you think that BJJ practitioners don't let their students learn an armbar or a triangle without resistance first? To me that is the best way to learn proper technique then move on to resistance.
Yes, they do- in my gym, we train a new move non-resistant for half an hour and then spend the following half hour rolling with a resisting partner. I respect Hapkido as much as I consider it a more practical version of Aikido, in that it took the locks from Aikido and added in kicks and SOME ground fighting, so it's definitely more realistic than Aikido. I just have a problem with arts that rely on a non-resistant partner to pull off the majority of moves. This is not self-defense!
Hapkido did not "borrow" from Aikido, Aikido is a very new martial art. Hapkido and Aikido share similar techinques because they work. Also, I cross train BJJ, Hapkido and Kung Fu (five style fist) BJJ has the advantage in the grapple only classes but when it converts to MMA on weekends those who come from striking backgrounds rule the mat. The online vids are very selective in what they show of BJJ. Oh, and i notice that the opponents dont stuggle much in the instructional BJJ videos either.
You obviously don't know anything about the art that you practice. Hapkido was born when the creator of it, I don't remember his name but you can look it up, came back to Korea from training Aikido in Japan.
He used the Aikido he learned as a basis for his art, and incorporated the grappling and kicking and whatever else they have, and created Hapkido.
Nonsense, one branch of hapkido (Kwan Nyom) invented by Master Ji Han Jae is new and boasts a living founder but hapkido its self has been around in Korea for centuries. It used to be the extension of taekwondo once you got your fifth degree in TKD you moved on to hapkido. Now hapkido is an art unto its self. And FYI Master Jae did not study Aikido he studied Japanese Yawara (among other things).
no it hasn't. Choi Yong Sul is the forefather of hapkido. which he called hapkiyusul...which translates as aikijujutsu in japanese. he studied daito ryu with sokaku takeda (arguably)...its not centuries old in korea by any stretch of the imagination.
poor white belts have a lot to learn

@HapkidoJosh Thanks I'm very interested. There's no hapkido school in my area but I'm still a huge fan.

Breathing through your mouth is a good way to get your jaw broken. Ask any boxer, or contact martial artist.

Whats with all the grunting?

It's breathing. We breath with each technique to match the motion of the technique.

I love watching the "attacker" just stand there as the different moves are applied to him.
Just like in real life!

it was aikijujutsu, not aikido. aikido and hapkido are similar because they are both parented by the same art, of daito ryu aiki-jujutsu.
