Phillip Rhee - Best Of The Best IV ( Hapkido)

[otomo030969]

This look like Aikido because, Aikido and Hapkido are relatives because the founder of Hapkido was a servent slave during the japanese ocuppation of Korea in the house of the family of Sokaku Takeda who was part of a samurai family who teaches the Daito Ryu Jujutsu and renamed later as Daito Ryu Aikijutsu know as Aikido today

[hip2thabone]

I wish he would make more martial movies like Best of the best.

It breaks my heart seeing faggots disgracing the name of Martial arts in their corny ass movies that are being churned out like frisbees today left, right and center!

[hip2thabone]

Man, I love how philip rhee demonstrates martial arts in a simple way for all us to appreciate this beautiful art form.

[KenziiContagious]

phillip rhee's system is tae kwon do not haokido however he has incorporated some techniques into his style that he teaches.

[pcjudosambo]

Looks more like Aikido

[kato9591]

@pcjudosambo Aikido?? - You don't really know Martial Arst do you??

[pcjudosambo]

@kato9591 Well, i've studied Judo & Sambo for many years, placed 3rd in JR Nationals & have had many many lessons with Aikido practitioners ... but nope, I do not know anything about martial arts, I've never even been on a mat.

[kato9591]

@pcjudosambo Excactly!!

[fjsf71]

The best of the best, greats movies, great actor and master, from portugal.

[bertonek85]

Philip ist goog men end świetny tekwondo, wybitny sportowiec mistrz i skromny facet :)

[ChrisforReal]

from which artist is this song and whats the name of this song ????

[thestingrayway]

Hapkido locks are more direct than those of Aikido. Hapkido uses 1-2 steps to complete technique. Aikido tends to implement more. Both have the same parent art of Samurai Aiki-jitsu. Hapkido uses the early kicking art Tae-kyon (predecessor to Tae Kwon Do) & hands of Yu Kwon Sul. Both are highly effective. Being more complex they take longer to learn than mere striking arts. Why most "MMA" enthusiasts don't incorporate these arts baffles me.

[TheShinobi32]

I would love to have a dvd of him doing every technique he knows and teaching you how to do them.

[TheShinobi32]

He is one of my favorites i wish he would have done more movies.

[deek77]

How'd this thread go from hapkido, to Bruce Lee, to Stalin, and now to mistreatment of Jews?

[TinQuasimodo]

@deek77 Don't ya know that's how the world spins, lol? Matter of fact, when someone is confused about the order of things, I'll repeat "hapkido, to Bruce Lee, to Stalin, and now on to the mistreatment of Jews!" I'm not being sarcastic, I will quote you, deek77? You just typed an epic line.

[deek77]

@TinQuasimodo Lol, you're silly, man. No offense taken at all, much love bro.

[ginsengumi]

who is the nsong

[MrByaeger]

love mr. rhee..moves like a cat. used to try to copy him but always ended up falling down.

[TeslaDRay]

hyow do they do that wrist twisting flip that seagal is known for? are they basically just twisting it so tight that the giuy involuntarily has to flip over?

[WingChum]

@TeslaDRay If the uke does NOT flip over he will get his wrist broken.

[TeslaDRay]

Good song.

[YgAriff]

There was one time, Bolo Young visited Bruce Lee in his house in Hong Kong. He entered a room where he saw Bruce Lee was with wires all over his head and body then he ask what his he doing. Bruce explain on one side was the sound of water dropping which he is decreasing while the other was a sound of an air plance passing by which he was increasing yet he try to focus on the sound of the water dripping. "You see your ears must hear every movement and your eyes must see all direction"37 yrs ago

[kpd117]

Bruce Lee once said, you have to flow like water. To be water my friend. This is what he meant.

[KurtCobain198666]

@kpd117 true, but not. There's so many reasons why you're wrong. Just look at what Lee said about classical styles referring to them as 'classical mess' and broken rhythm. When he said 'flow' he was referring to an ideology of having no technique, no definitive 'way.' HKD IS definitive, it has SET techniques, its built on set principles. You can discover your own JKD, you can't make HKD what you want, its set. If he was referring to HKD, he wouldn't have felt the need to develop JKD

[YgAriff]

@KurtCobain198666 - Bruce Lee took SGM Ji Han Jie (Hap Ki Do grandmaster - he was the one who game the art this name) in his movie 'Game of Death), remember the dude with the gold belt who throw Bruce Lee around - Bruce wanted to show even if a technic is superior without conditioning one wouldn't last

[KurtCobain198666]

@YgAriff but bruce didn't find the techniques of hkd superior that was lee's point. He found classical styles unatural, and unrealistiic to human responses. The whole point off that movie was to demonstrate how having 'form' be it hap ki do/kempo/kali as in the film, wouldn't work against a man with 'no technique', a man that will adapt and win by any means neccasary. By no technqiue i don't mean an untrained man. I mean a man who doesn't say 'this is my way, its the only way.'

[KurtCobain198666]

@kpd117 put another way, hap ki do, aikido, karate, judo whatever, they all move from A to B to reach Z. E.g in aikido there's so many ways to reach kote gaeshi, in judo so many ways to reach o goshi etc. In JKD, we jump straight to Z with whatever tools we have to get there, using the shortest most direct movements. HKP and aikido are, by there nature, DESIGNED to be indirect due to there spiritual philosophies.

[KurtCobain198666]

@kpd117 Quoting Bruce Lee to justify classical styles, is like quoting Stalin while fighting for the rights of jews

[WarriorBoy]

@KurtCobain198666: LOL! Fantastic comment! You win a door prize!

[KurtCobain198666]

@WarriorBoy :)

[TinQuasimodo]

@KurtCobain198666 Stalin was a Jew and made it illegal to act ill towards practicing Jews. I get your point but not your history.

[KurtCobain198666]

@TinQuasimodo Stalin's antisemitism was "pragmatic rather than zoological", and he was willing to tolerate Jews as long as they were useful to him. Stalin's daughter fell in love with a jew, Alexei Kapler. His daughter said Stalin was irritiated by the relationship mainly because Alexei was jewish. Everyone says 'Dzhugash' means jew in Georgian, whenc actually the Georgian for jew is 'Ebraelebi'. Cont. in next post.

[KurtCobain198666]

@TinQuasimodo Stalin made it illegal to act 'ill' towards jews? Ever heards of the Doctors' Plot? He framed a load of Moscow Jewish doctors as being conspiratorial assassins of Soviet leaders. The Stalin ordered show trials and ant-semitic propaganda. When Hitler was committng genocide against Jews, Disabled, Homosexuals etc, did Stalin step in for the Jews? No, he signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler. Why would he do that if he was jewish?

[TinQuasimodo]

@KurtCobain198666 Yeah, you don't seem to understand how the world works. It's ok, it takes people a while sometimes to get the propaganda filtered out. Stalin was a jew and ALL his wives were jewish, fact. I would suggest you do some simple digging. Many of Hitler's top men were Jews...why would they turn on Jews? Why oh why? Pragmatic. Amin killed lots of Africans and Phillip Rhee is the shit.

[KurtCobain198666]

@TinQuasimodo It still doesn't explain why he initiated the Doctor's Plot to have allot of jews purged, because they were jewish, does it? If he was jewish, why did he study Russion Orthodox Christianity? There was the Jewish Police who worked for the Nazi's helping them round up other jews. They did so believing they could avoid there same fate. The top serving jews were declared not Jewish by Hitler so he could use them. "I decide who is a Jew"

Eventually he would've killed them too.

[TinQuasimodo]

@KurtCobain198666 Yeah, you don't seem to understand how the world works. It's ok, it takes people a while sometimes to get the propaganda filtered out. Stalin was a jew and ALL his wives were jewish, fact.  I would suggest you do some simple digging. Many of Hitler's top men were Jews...why would they turn on Jews? Why oh why? Pragmatic. Amin killed lots of Africans and Phillip Rhee is the shit. ....Are you hard at reading? If, if, if, you go do some research. "eventually" "believing" oh god

[KurtCobain198666]

@TinQuasimodo Did Stalin kill jews BECAUSE they were jewish? Yes. And it goes back to the fact that if he was a jew, why did he study to become a priest?

[TinQuasimodo]

@KurtCobain198666 Yeesh. Keep digging, keep thinking. How does the world spin? Who 'spins' it? Why is it spun? What is the purpose of immigration? What is the purpose of emigration? Who allows these migrations? What is the most expensive thing in this world pound for 'pound'? How do people come into political power/positions? It's clear that you haven't even tried to do any research since your last post. Why are you wasting my time with textbook drivel? Can you even hear the machine?

[KurtCobain198666]

@TinQuasimodo Oh and theres the fact he killed millions of jews. During his Purges he shut down Yiddish schools. The Night of the Murdered Poets, fifteen soviet jews were arrested and executed for capital offences. He also launched a campaign against Zionsts. He reffered to jews as 'rootless cosmopolitan' for their lack of patriotism. Tell me where, in any of that, he sounds remotely jewish?

[BMXBEN1196]

i do these techniques alot in the dojang.nice work sabanim

[SECMusic]

I must've been Bruce Lee in a former life

[SECMusic]

Japs take the shortest route to hide the kick which makes the kick easier to transition into whatever kick you want it to be, for example you can easily turn a front kick into a round kick simply by the turn of your hip at the last moment possible I wish I could show it on video learned how to do it Karate helped my Tae Kwon Do get so much more powerful and Tae Kwon Do helped my karate that's when I learned how all martial arts are same just taught different by everybody

[KungFuKid1015]

People say that Hapkido and Aikido are the same. Well it depends on how you practice them. Traditional Aikido is very different from Hapkido. However, my school teaches Combat Aikido, which uses strikes and is very versitile. The techniques are against Practical street attacks, unlike most traditional Aikido.

[sesis21]

[AslanTepe34]

STEVEN SEAGAL :P

[trailoffme]

Master Phillip Rhee !!!!!!!!!!!!

[GalaxyConvoy73]

is it really phillip it looks like him at he end but when his fighting it doesnt.

[GalaxyConvoy73]

It is phillip rhee awesome.

[Shindai]

Can anyone tell me how hapkido differs from aikido? Is it the same thing only with Korean terminology, or is there other differences? At face value they look the same to me, I'm just wondering.. wonderful demonstrating from Phillip Rhee though, was always mesmerised with this clip, between the music and the slow motion it's easy to lose yourself in the gracefulness :)

[trailoffme]

That Hapkido includes much of kicking techniques while Aikido doesn't. The highly developed kicking techniques characterize identity of the overall kinds of Korean traditional martial arts; Taekwondo is most famous for that and the best.

[Shindai]

Thanks for the reply, I assumed the kicking aspect was Phillip's taekwondo (I know he does a number of styles so wasn't sure where the hapkido began and ended, yknow?) So hapkido is like aikido mixed with taekwondo? That sounds pretty sweet :D

[MasterMacLeod]

Think of hapkido as street fighting oriented aikido to be more oriented.

[whollymoses]

There are very many similiarities between the two arts, especially the fact that both involve strong usage in the art of transferring energy. If you look closely, hapkido is a bit more of a linear style (much like the structure of TKD). Many akido movements involve circular motions. Most hapkido movements involve directly cutting/breaking off the energy of your oponent, as opposed to redirecting in a circular motion.

[FranklinOConnor]

akido and hapkido are almost the same except in how to do the kickings one is Japanese style kicking and akido is japanese style kicking the difference between the two countries arts in kicking is that Japanese do short snappy kicks where koreans bring their knees up and kick straight out japanese arts though after many years will tear the cartilage in the knees

[edraith]

@FranklinOConnor Hapkido is very different from Aikido (from wich Hapkido comes, in good part).

In Hapkido there is much more concern about strilking, about fighting, about mixing strike and grapple, about training strenght, flexibilty and acrobatic moves.

They're not that similiar...

[FranklinOConnor]

I was lied to then by a hapkido master then thank you

[KurtCobain198666]

Aikido and Hap Ki Do come from the same place, aikijujutsu, thats why they look so alike. But neither of the founders of aikido or hap ki do studied the others art.

[BarefootSamuraiX]

@FranklinOConnor:

Aikido in most its variants doesnt know kicking or striking. Hapkido and Aikido are close to each other in their abstract form of grappling, joints,... but that also depends on the styles. In that I found Aikido more useful, but I did do Combat forms of Hapkido.

So, you cant compare the kicking. With respect to kicking, I did not experience a difference between Taekwondo and Karate, except that you kick much less in Karate.

[edraith]

Japanese and Korean kicks are very different indeed.

The only karate style with "korean style" kicks is Kyokushin. To some extent even modern Karate and Kickboxing have taekwondo kicks: it is because kickboxing comes from both Karate and traditional Taekwondo, and modern Karate (not traditional Karate) has been strongly influenced by Kickboxing.

[KurtCobain198666]

Aikido doesnt use kicks. It has techniques to defend from kicks, but no kicks as a form of offence. Hap Ki Do uses less circular movement, and has an offensive stance, aikido is pure defence.

[YgAriff]

@Shindai - both founder learn from the same master - Moreshi Usehiba was from Japan and GM Choi Young Sul was from Korean who studied the art from the same master but Hap Ki do was later name by supreme grandmaster Ji Han Jie who combine it with kicks. The locks and body dynamics in applying in the locks is powerful, hapkido through martial art not a martial sports - can be adapted to almost any art

[r4ytrace]

@Shindai I remember reading somewhere that in Hapkido they tend to not do 'the full circle' of a throws movement as much, also they train in open-hip Tae Kwon Do kicking which I dont think is normally a part of Aikido training

[nbatkd]

He does tkd wtf and hapkido not only hapkido live4eva korean martial arts especially the 2 best tkd and hapkido

[thj1234]

I hope you to know that "Krav Maga" or whatever called from Jews, that is not Martial Arts. There is no such thing called "Krav Maga" is a part of the Martial Arts, period.if I have to give a different name for it then I should name it as "Tom & Jerry on the Goldsmith or ****** stein's playground for the bullfighting practice.

[trailoffme]

I hope you know what is the best kick because in your favorite ther is mini kick ;)

[whollymoses]

Straight from wikipedia, sir:

Martial arts or fighting arts are systems of codified practices & traditions of training for combat. While they may be studied for various reasons, martial arts share a single objective: to physically defeat other persons and to defend oneself or others from physical threat...Many arts are also practiced competitively, most commonly as combat sports, but may also take the form of dance.

[aznboi1010]

I'll restate myself once again

Wikipedia is not 100% facts

[whollymoses]

I wasn't using it to state it that it's complete facts, but to press against thj for their racist comment on Krav Maga NOT being a martial art.

[KurtCobain198666]

any form of self defence with set routines and movements are martial. But for the shear brutallity of krav maga, its lack of encouraging students to explore themselves spiritually, and its one set mind of crush, kill destroy, it's definatly not an art.

[whollymoses]

but it is up to the user to adapt or adhere to that or not

[OneShotStop229]

My idea of Krav is almost like yours. It's not an art, so much as it is your own style. It's alot like Jeet Kune Do in that it's movements are short and direct, without being fancy. You use what you need to to make it out alive. An art, to me, is something pretty. There's nothing pretty about gouging out eyes. Krav isn't pretty. It sure is effective though.

[Avean]

Well said and i totally agree with you.

[KurtCobain198666]

thank you!

[CrimesonWitcher]

@KurtCobain198666 that is 100% true. marital arts in about uniting the body , mind and spirit as one weapon. separate they are useful weapons but together you're damn near unbeatable.

[Riggidig]

THANK you. Been looking for this part of the movie everywhere. Beautiful, especially with the music.

[blackhwoarang26]

awesome hapkido skills

[loloniko76]

Hapkido es arte marcial para defenderse en la vida real, no puedes competir. Aikido = El gato juega con el raton y despues se lo come. Hapkido = Se lo come enseguida. Los dos son buenos, es cosa de gusto, pero para defenderse en la vida real Hapkido. Yo soy Cinturón Negro de Hapkido y Taekwondo WTF, ambos mucho mejor como Gran Master Phillip Rhee. Muchas gracias por subir el video.

[trailoffme]
