Combat Hapkido Demonstration 1

[budfr]

I LIKE CH BUT THE PROBLEM WITH SELF-DEFENSE IS THAT THEY TEACH YOU TO DEFEND AND NOT ATTACK. IN A CONFRONTATION, YOU MUST BE THE AGGRESSOR. SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GOING TO DEFEND SOMEONE OR YOUR ENEMY HAS DONE SOMETHING REALLY BAD AND NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED.

[buffmedic01]

You have the absolute worst hip tosses I have ever seen, and your a 6th dan? This is a joke.

[JorgeEFM]

This is pure Ninjutsu! Am I wrong?

[cabber793]

first thing first hapikdo is the korean expression aikijutsu because the grand father of hapkido was taught by grand master sokaku takedo 1860-1943born in aizu province October 110th of aikibujutsu the complete fighting system. The korean worked foor him and later become his student. also don't be so fast to critizise other styles I always learn from everybody the good & the bad.

[bladegeo]

nice

Por Dios, son malísimos

6th Dan in CHK? Interesting. They must have very loose time-in-rank promotion standards considering Peligrini founded it in 1990.

[ma2rowe]

@dacujo69 Well Lets see It actually wasn't founded until 1992 but that is ok common error. I already had a 1st Dan in Hapkido before I began working for Pellegrini in Florida in 1992. In 1993 I earned my 2nd Dan, in 1995 I earned my 3rd Dan, in 1998 I earned my 4th Dan, in 2002 I earned my 5th Dan, and in September 2007 I wa awarded my 6th Dan at the 15th Anniversary of the ICHF.

[iangordon]

@ma2rowe it is typically 6 months between ranks, so roughly 4-5 years to get to 1st Dan, then it follows tradition time in grade, so 1st Dan 1 Year, 2nd Dan 2 year, etc..if you first started in 1992, then yes you could be 5-6th dan by now. Some were training with GM Pelligrini since the late 80s before he formally created Combat Hapkido as an official style.

I would suggest you join a school and try for yourself, as they say its the journey not the destination. We have several seminars a year!

[ma2rowe]

@iangordon I am at a loss for what the heck you are talking about. I have been studying the martial arts, Taekwond, Hapkido, and Judo in particular for over 30 years. I have been parts of many schools, participated in many instructor's seminars from various systems and styles, I have enjoyed the road and personally could care less about the rank I have for on the journey. In the end it is my ability and how it serves m e that counts (physical, mental & spiritual)

[dacujo69]

I think what many people fail to understand is that in a demo, you are showing the technique without hurting the partner. In an actual conflict, a Hapkido player will be using kicks or strikes in order to "loosen up" the attacker in order to perform some technique. That kick or strike will harm the person unlike in a demo. Remember that demos are controlled and the demo attacker knows how to fall or respond in order to not be hurt. Your average Joe on the street won't likely be able to do so.

[Oldschooldan1]

The quality of your video is poor, but the quality of you CH is very good. Love that center lock!

[jeremyjarmstrong]

combat hapkido is what they teach to ROK marinrs in korea

[dudrhkd7]

whats the difference between combat and normal i dont understand

[hunter92xx]

Combat Hapkido is a bunch of shit just take real Hapkido, the only reason they have combat hapkido is to scam you, Hapkido is the real deal.

[ma2rowe]

Well you certainly are entitled to your opinon. And while it is opinon that is out there, it is not one any single one of the inmates that have rioted in my jail would every share. And I'll definately show an adrenaline laced combat training session, as soon as I purchase 2 sets of High Gear, to protect the bodies of all interested from severe damage.

[Carnifectus]

I've been taking Combat Hapkido for over a year. This ma isn't a sport, there aren't any tournaments for the very reason that these techniques are to end the fight, by disabling or forcing a submission, not prolong it. Even some of the basic techniques can cause serious harm to your aggressor/partner. It's all body mechanics; your arm will only bend so far, your tendons can only stretch to a point before they break. This is a very good demo; it shows a variety of techniques and flows.

[PARR53]

I totally know where you are coming from with your comment! I am an Aikidoka and we dont do any formal sparring or even promote a competitive spirit because the techniques are designed for self defense only and have the potential to be devastating in terms of injury potential to the attacker. Some people just dont understand that most martial arts are not designed for sport fighting.

[MrDking06]

@PARR53 Could not agree more with both of you. I did a little bit of combat hapkido myself and most people don't understand how easy it is to snap joints on command when you know how to lock them up properly. This is why locks that manipulate the wrist are not allowed in UFC...

[Cblack287]

I think this was a fine demo on what Combat Hapkido can do. Unless you are a student of CH you wouldn't understand. We don't sparr for a reason. Most people can take a kick or punch but not a broken wrist or dislocated elbow. You have to really know what your doing at full speed so you don't permanently injure anyone.

[buffmedic01]

@Cblack287 common warning markers for bad/ineffective martial arts... "our MA is for the streets..." ,"We dont spar because our MA is to dangerous/deadly".... you do not learn how to fight/defend yourself when you have a person who does a set move and ragdolls for you. Sparring is the only way to effectively learn to apply moves with proper timing. Fights do not play out like demo's im sorry, you can do sparring with everything except small joint manipulation. You still have strikes and throws.

[MiiistaBlackbelt505]

Brilliant!

[locketa1]

The core of Combat Hapkido teaches people to develope self defense options in many situations. I hope I never have to use it, but you can be sure that it won't be elegant if I do. I will not bad-mouth any martial art as there are great things to learn from any instuructor. If you (MMAFighter)think that there is a perfect system or a perfect technique, I'll train doing that one thing. Since that doesn't exist, my base will be Combat Hapkido. It just works well and is constantly evolving.

[VideoGameAddict26]

hmmm. i get that your showing the principles of hapkido. For the most part I see them, but your strikes have no emotion and there is little contact. The music was very distracting and you might as well excluded it. and MMA fighter it is a school, the principles are taught you have to adapt them, the idea of hapkido is to adapt. Your sabunim will teach you how to move and how to bend what but other wise its mainly self exploration.

[ma2rowe]

This was a simple sampling of techniques from a demonstration that was much much longer.

It was my first video editing attempt and wantetd to do many things. I"ll be adding more videos soon, and then you may see the more practical aspect of our systems, as well as my training.

[MMAFighter101]

If you can do this at the disadvantages of what would occur in a real street fight...stress, surprise, poor light, extreme fatigue and do what you are doing...I will stand corrected.

[ma2rowe]

Most of the techniques I performed I can complete under stress and poor light. Extreme fatigue even does not effect too much. I am a corrections officer by choice so what I do can work.

[MMAFighter101]

I understand its a demo...but if its supposed to be combat....I don't see any. Can you make a demonstration video of someone who is bigger, stronger, extremely aggressive and really bent on your destruction? Someone who is not your student.

[ma2rowe]

As for my performance on someone being agressive are you volunteering?

[buffmedic01]

@ma2rowe I would love to come show you how useless your style is, where are you located?

[ma2rowe]

@buffmedic01 Omaha, Nebraska hope to see you around sometime.

[SuccessMMA]

@buffmedic01 make a vid, I am interested to see.

[MMAFighter101]

With all due respect to your training: If this is a "self defense demonstration," why do you have belts, uniforms, bare feet, and train in a fully lighted room. Why isn't the other guy fighting back?
