Every two weeks I try to upload a short clip in which I demonstrate a hapkido, hankido or hankumdo technique. This time I will teach you hankido's most basic technique, jeonhwanbeob.
Jeonhwanbeob means circle or conversion technique, all techniques in hankido have this technique at their core. Hankido is 90% jeonhwanbeob is what my teacher is always telling me. That's why it is very important to practice this technique often en repeat if many times when you practice it.
I hope you enjoy watching this clip.

전환법은 합기도 한기도의 가장기본이 되면서 중요한 원리라고 할 수 있습니다.
많은 연습을 통해서 원을 몸으로 표현하는 수준이 될때 까지 같이 연습합시다.


Principles of hankido
In HKD we have three basic principles, which are also known as sam dae wollee (삼대원리).
1.The principle of the circle (won, 원, 圓)
2.The principle of flow (yu, 류, 流)
3.The principle of hearth (harmony) (hwa, 화, 和)
The three basic techniques of jeon hwan bub, young nyu bub and shim hwa bub are meant to give a student some insight into these principles. So it speaks for itself that these techniques should play an important role in the training of a hankido practitioner. By practicing them daily, you will come to understand them with your hearth.

The first principle tells us that our movements should be round and natural.
There are no straight movements in hankido. This does not mean that some of our movements cant appear to be straight on the outside, but the internal movements is always circular. Another word comes to mind: circulation. Circulation of energy, ki, air, and thoughts: Movements start from the mind; the mind puts the danjeon in motion. From our danjeon the movement spreads through our body. However movements can also trigger the mind. You can feel the movements, energy of your opponent, this triggers you mind and so you get a circle of action and reaction.
If your mind should put your danjeon in motion this means that your movements start from your waist, where you danjeon is located. This is true for every single hankido technique.
It is important to emphasize this waist movement from the first moment a new students walks in your gym. Point students at the use of their hips when turning around, turning through at the end. Dont let the movement come from your steps!
Your danjeon is not only the center of your body, it should also be the center of the technique.

Jeon Hwan
The term Jeon Hwan (轉換) has a bit of a double meaning. It can be translated as turning but also as conversion. So the technique is not only about the turning or circling movements that are made, it is also about making a conversion.
What is this conversion?
Actually a lot of conversion takes place. The initiative of the technique is converted from the attacker to the defender. Your opponents force should be converted from destructive to armless. A lot of things change to their opposites, in accordance to the principle of um (yin) and yang.

The word bub (法) means technique or method.
