A Brief Description:
HapKiDo is a defensive martial art which teaches joint manipulation
techniques, pressure points, throws, rolls, kicking, striking, meditation
and breathing. All while trying to unify the: Mind, Body and Spirit.
The goal of HapKiDo is to help the practitioner become a better person
through its techniques and philosophies.
Hapkido Relies On Three Basic Principles:
a. Non-Resistance.
To move in accordance with your opponent - harmony.
b. Circular Motion
As opposed to linear movements, the use of circular, fluid, flowing
movements.
c. The Water Principle
Total penetration of opponent's defenses through continual attack.
Master Hendrix & Master Friske
Hapkido would be a great martial art for police and law enforcement
officials. However, anyone wanting to learn a very eclectic yet traditional
martial art will thoroughly enjoy this rare Korean art that not only
teaches external physical techniques but also internal chi building
exercises. This art does not teach forms/hyungs and will go into much
greater detail on joint manipulation, throws, falls, rolls and meditation
than
Taekwon-Do.
