blue belt is what rank?

like can some1 give me a list in order or difficulty

[LAactorTrent]

The belts at this particular location (Daegu, South Korea) might not be the same at other Hapkido locations. The belts are white, blue, red, black, and then different levels of black belt.

good techniques but a some cardio work would help with the weight.

I see the techniques but I dont se much use of the core, small circular motions or "push pull". It is very important to know how to make use of the core for balance and circles for when your opponent resists. Nice video though and please, I don't mean to be critical but what I've mentioned is some of the principles, without these things under control, Hapkido becomes just a power struggle fight.

@jasonleerock1 don't know about anyone else's dojang, but in mine, the instructors begin resisting after you learn the technique and before you test, the test is just a final formality after they approve that you actually know and can use the technique properly even if someone is resisting

@jasonleerock1 just imagine a humans head.. our head isnt created to turn a whole 360 degrees, when u resist a hapkido technique like so its like someone swisting your head a whole 360 degrees, your neck isnt created to do such a thing i mean it makes me get goosebujmps just thinking about somones head getting turned 360 degrees

@jasonleerock1 hello, i am takewondo master and hapkido instructor (black belt club member) and i noticed alot of people ask this question and to tell u the truth in all of these takedowns even for demonstration, it hurts, but when u ae not resisting even the most pain of these takedowns are temporary, the pain lasts no more that 20 mins, but if u resist the flow of your joints and the way yours arms/legs/neck was created to move then this will cause great damage perminatly

Wow, that guy gets a trophy! I never got a trophy for getting a blue belt :(

[hojorocks3]

Good test! I just got my red belt in May in Jing ki kwan Hapkido. Grandmaster Lim, also from Daegu is Visiting New Jersy and New England in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to meet him.
