Great question! In Korean they refer to a kata as a hyung. Traditional hapkido does not have hyung, however there are some independent schools and organizations that have added them to their curriculum. In our school we encourage the creation of an individual hyung as a form of training. However, hapkido is an art made for self defense. As such, you will find a heavy focus on fighting itself. A kata or hyung certainly have their place and can be a great tool though. 😊

It’s all good! All part of the job lol

I am so glad you enjoyed it! Best of luck in your future training.

Thanks! They have the same origin :) daito Ryu :)

Great and honest question:) part of learning hapkido is learning how to fall correctly to minimize injury. As such we, as experienced martial artists, use some sense in knowing what our training partner knows how to do. For instance, our white belts understand forward roll and break fall, backwards roll and break fall. Therefore it is not educational or helpful to throw them on advance throws because they don’t have experience. Over time knowing how to fall becomes natural and there are less limitations. Having said that, martial arts is not without risk and it is certainly possible to get injured. This is why it’s important to train under someone with experience who can teach well. We want to minimize injury. If I have to use my skill in the real world, breaking someone’s wrist wouldn’t be a concern. They shouldn’t have attacked in the first place 😉 thanks for the question!

😁😆

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words and best of luck in your training! It’s a journey worth taking for sure. Even when it gets tough, keep going! ;)

Thank you!

Thank you for watching and commenting! That’s fantastic. May I ask which branch? There are so many lol 😂

​@@DrNikolaiLeeI am part of the small circle Hapkido branch under Chris tricoli of Raleigh NC.

@@HybridMMAExtreme That's great! It's always fun to connect like this from different schools. Does small circle have any relation to small circle jiujitsu?

​@@DrNikolaiLeeyes kinda sorta but master tricoli also throw in other techniques from the other arts whe is also my kru in Muay Thai kickboxing and I also trained with him Brazilian jiu jitsu but small circle Hapkido does also have the same principles as small circle jujutsu but it more well rounded.

@@HybridMMAExtreme I see :) Well I'm glad that you have found a great balance that works well for you. Im not sure about your motivations, but when I first started training my goal was to defend others. Now, training has become more for self discipline and personal development. Still, everybody has different motivations. Best of luck to all of your future training!

Sounds like you really know your history! Thank you for the well thought out comment as well :) we are based in Port Orange Florida. You can find more information on the American Hapkido Alliance Facebook page. Due to being a non-commercial school we are able to focus on those small details and do not have to concern ourselves with making sure little Johnny gets his belt to pay the bills 😉 our history and all of martial history is of high importance. At every rank our students get a history packet that they must learn. At each testing we have a history portion of the test that is pass/fail for the entire test. To know where you are going it’s best to know where you come from. Where are you based?

Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! Are you still training?

62 me too savate judo boxing and hapkido in my 60 l have hapkido book with 2000 page with 1500 techniques

Autor this book is mark tadaschi

Never too late!

@@DrNikolaiLee Thank you, worst is the fact I can't find Hapkido in Oklahoma. Tae Kwon Do, yes, Akido, yes, Kempo, no. Oklahoma Sucks. Oh we did have Go Ju Ryu but, the school closed.

Thank you

Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

they do have a common lineage from daito Ryu aikijutsu ;)

Although I respectfully disagree with you, I appreciate your opinion. :) best of luck to your future training!

@@DrNikolaiLee can you show one video where someone caught a punch and did a wrist lock or threw the attacker in a real fight or ring or cage. It only works with a submissive opponent

@@DangerousWaterMMA in my humble opinion, cage fighting and mma style fighting is also not 100% realistic. They are truly amazing athletes and train hard for sure. But the fight is in a controlled environment, one on one with rules. This just isn’t reality. I don’t mean to disrespect the sport at all, but I think you and I are measuring effectiveness very differently. This video is a break down of the principles in hapkido. But, just so we are on the same page.. “real” fighting is on the street, unexpected, without rules. For me, there will be a knife involved more than likely. I would encourage you to consider your mindset on the cage or ring being a real fight. You also don’t know my background or the things I have done/ been through. It may be best not to question validity to subjects you are not privy to, nor, respectfully, will you be. Your comment also tells me you don’t truly have a understanding of what hapkido is/does. I can assure you videos will never teach you and the only way to learn is hands on. You are correct that the opponent will need to be in a submissive state. This tends to happen after they have been palmed in the nose, kicked in the groin, or stabbed. Just to educate, the falling you see happening is called nak sul. It’s important for the person being thrown to know how to safely fall. On the street I don’t care how they fall. Because of this training, we can train well into our senior years, something I’ve yet to see happen in mma. Personally, I don’t really care what someone else claims to be effective. My training is for me and not another’s opinion. To put it simply, I will be happy to have a healthy discussion so that all of martial artists can improve. If you’re looking for a keyboard warrior fight, I’m not your guy. I just simply don’t have time for it. Best of luck to your future. I hope you are personally training on the mat and continue to improve. Have a blessed day.

@@DrNikolaiLee I asked you a simple question can you show me a video where someone caught a punch and did a wrist lock or threw the person in a real fight or in a ring or cage . Give me proof that what you teach works that's all I'm asking.

I would also like to see one just one video of catching a punch and throwing with resistance, like in sparring, mma, a street fight, anything.

It was great to meet and train with you! Hopefully we can make it back out there. Hope all is well!

That's awesome! Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching.

Hey there! I don’t think I’m fully understanding your question. Black and soft vs regular soft? That’s not really the types available. The two types I was referring to is satin or cotton. Each can be equipped with a different strength core, depending on requirements, preferences and width. In our we use satin 3” and it is only available (at this time) with a white soft core. For smaller width, different color cores are available. For instance, once the belt wears down and the core shows it could be white, red, etc.. Hope this answers your question 😊

@Nikolai Lee So what I mean is what is the fabric a different colour when the belt wears out depending on what firmness you get for instance for soft the fabric is white showing an older more used look

@@themartialartist1929 I think I understand. You can change the stiffness/softness in some of the belts (the core). They do offer a red core, but it is only available in soft. In my opinion the core coming through the black looks great! As long as it is earned ;) I personally prefer the way that satin wears out over time, because it takes longer to break in. But, the longevity is far worth it. Customization and personal choice is what they specialize in so I would definitely recommend them!

So If I get soft core will white fabric come out

@@themartialartist1929 if you order a regular black belt with a soft core it will show white over time yes 👍🏻

Hey there! That’s really the point of training too. We should develop our personal skill and learn to use it to our full advantage. :) thanks for the comment and best of luck in your future fights!
