WHEN WILL MARTIAL ARTISTS LEARN THAT ALL KICKS ARE THE SAME NO MATTER WHAT THE STYLE OR COUNTRY OR ORIGIN OR SCHOOL?!? THE HUMAN BODY CAN ONLY MOVE IN LIMITED DIRECTIONS. WHAT IS A BACK KICK IN ONE STYLE IS A MULE KICK IN ANOTHER...IT'S THE SAME KICK. NAMES ARE SOMETIMES CHANGED BUT NOT THE TECHNIQUE. THROWS, TAKE-DOWNS, ARM-LOCKS, ARM-BARS ARE MOSTLY THE SAME WHETHER JUDO, HAPKIDO, AIKIDO OR JUIJITSU. SOMETIMES SCHOOLS IN THE SAME COUNTRY CHANGE KATAS OR POOMSE TO SIGNIFY THEIR SCHOOL.

@Durkie52 I have been telling my students this for 35 years. I am glad you spoke up.

Great job guys. Looks more like Aikido than true Hapkido.

@daddydojang

"True Hapkido" is Korean Aikijujutsu. What is your opinion of "true Hapkido"? I realize I am asking for an opinion. Be careful what you say. There are allot of Hapkido and Aikido people alike monitoring this Hapkido Channel. I am wondering what history says "true Hapkido" is? Rooted from Daito-Ryu-aikijujutsu just like Aikido its brother art. So you see where the simularities come from. Hapkido is about break things and kill people, Aikido is about not killing the attacker.

In Japan or even Korea, when we first learn the Aiki arts, you start with big circles much like you start to learn how to write or draw with bigger characters. Then...as you get older and more control, the circles get smaller and the attacks get more realistic.

This video that was posted looks of two student practicing to create balance and harmony within thenmself so to learn how to use the attackers physical energy against them. remamber these exact technique were used on the battelfields of Asia for many centuries. They do work, but it takes itme to learn. Western culture is "instant and disposable".

if you know aikido, you gonna love hapkido.

@Durkie52 Not true. The delivery of the knee varies, although it should always be the same in kicks. Straight line roundhouses are better than round ones.

[hapkiyoosool]

@Durkie52 You are absolutely right. It is done in steps. Otherwise, everyone would be broken and unable to practice ANY martial art.

@tickyul SO IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO HIGH DIVE YOU JUST WANT TO GET ON A BOARD 100' UP? IF YOU WANT TO LEARN SKYDIVING YOU DON'T WANT TO LEARN HOW TO FALL CORRECTLY FIRST? IT'S DONE IN STEPS FOR A REASON...IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE REASON THEN YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO WHITE BELT AND START OVER. NO DISRESPECT.

I was taught that this Hap Ki Do is not the same as the Hap Ki Do under the Ho Shin Do Federation. I notice many of the kicks in this Hap Ki Do look more like kicks from karate. Meanwhile, the kicks taught to me are all mostly straight-leg kicks. I also notice our system of self-defense is similar in some aspects, but very different in others. So now I ask you, is Hap Ki Do just a name?

i hate being the person demonstrated or practiced on, my arm always kills afterwards!!

@yoshimonsoon It takes time for the techniques to become second nature and require no thought to do. The techniques themselves don't actually take to long to learn. Principle takes time to be ingrained.

one of my favorite arts to watch, i did have the privledge of training in a version of it when i was starting in the arts. i beat the heck out of that mat with all parts of my body. a great system and lots of fond memories. respect...
