  • Choi Yong-Sool (Hangul: 최용술)'s training in martial arts is a subject of contention. It is known that Choi was sent to Japan as a young boy and returned to Korea with techniques characteristic of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu (大東流合気柔術), a forerunner of aikido!! i Koera trying be like aikido? lol

  • @dymbag98 haha yeah it's complicated. Hapkido was only called 'Hapkido' after WWII but it has parts of Korean (and Japanese) traditional martial arts that form it's technique base.

    Check out our website, then go to 'About Hapkido', then 'History and Major Figures From Korea' for more info. Keep in mind though that all Hapkido history is obscured and we'll probably never know the complete truth.

  • is this choreographed?

  • @i2ghost34 Sorry for the very late reply, it was loosely choreographed, we went in there with an idea of what to do... but as you can see some of that choreography was thrown out for improvisation on the day. It was simply a demo for students and guests after a black belt grading. We were pulling kicks and punches but still had a few bruises afterwards. Good times! ;)

    Cheers,

    Scott
