I've sparred with all manner of fighters even MMA guys, even done the Military Close Quarter Combat thing - I can hold my own, I even have severed nerve in my hand from being cut with a sharp object. So , you keep studying while I share my testimony concerning genuine combat.

I mean what makes you a greater authority on the system. In addition, what it comes down to can you defend yourself in a hostile situation. Can you really defend yourself in a real fight. That's the only way in knowing if you know anything.

I understand what you mean and where your coming from. My teacher was a student of Master Choi and a classmate of the late Bong Soo Han. I understand the translation as well but a good deal of those Martial arts systems were literally non-existent by the time Hapkido was - how can I say re-invented. So, in actuality a good deal of Korea of martial arts has been an amalgamation of other martial arts systems.

I should have been more specific... It may have saved you some typing. I was refering more to the fact that Old Hapkido from Korea does have forms in several lineages of Hapkido... and also that the translation you refered to is close but not exact. My studies reflect anyways...  Train on

Though in 1910, during Japanese occupation most of martial arts practice in Korea was wiped out. OK, I'm not bashing the style, why would I - its my style - it works for me. I've been in the military (veteran), street fights, I have a few assault charges to - fighting in self-defense, and the art among many forms have served me well. You can teach me anything and give it a name but if its not practical then its useless and should be disregarded, and trust me I no non-sense when I see it.

Karate-do is an evolution or a descendant of the Okinawan-Te set brought from China(Five animal Kung fu) from monks to Okinawa. Daito-Ryu Aiki-Jutsu techniques existed 100's of years in Japan and was practiced by the Samurai way before Karate spread to Japan during the 1600's.

Sure I'm all for the evolution of martial arts. Though a good deal of whats in a Shotokan kata is "almost" identical in every way to a Taekwondo hyung. Sure add it to whatever you like but in a real fight it doesn't amount too. Though forms have their place in the foundation of learning certain systems. The forms of Daito-Ryu Aiki-Jutsu are not - how you would say - Karate based.

[sunwukung777]

I only briefly went over my definition of the art form. I was only speaking of what was taught as a pure martial art form different from what it has evolved into over the years. I noticed someone says ideology(meaning theory) - which is much different form Martial arts (science) which becomes something of a proven fact. I use what works, I don't work in theory or in the dark, when I do this - the art becomes a part of me - something Bruce Lee would refer to as his Jeet or Jeet kune do.

There are a few errors in your statement.
