Hapkido is a Korean martial art for self defense. In English, the
name Hapkido has many translations. It has been explained as
"The way of harmony of energy." Or also "The way of
coordinated power." And though I have seen, heard and read it
translated in many different ways, the idea has remained the
same. The Hap means everything together or combining or
harmonizing. Ki stands for energy (Internal and External). Do
(pronounced DOE) means "the way of."
Hapkido defends against wrist grabs, clothing grabs, body
grabs as well as defense against strikes, kicks or weapon
attacks. There are many striking, kicking, throwing and joint
locking techniques. Jung Ki Hapkido is traditional Hapkido. It is
different from most other styles. It's strong principle and
foundation are demonstrated in it's techniques. Not all Hapkido
is the same. Some styles are very fancy and beautiful for
demonstration. Other styles are exactly the opposite. Jung Ki
Hapkido is very effective and can be exciting to watch. This
style of Hapkido is taught to Master May by his teacher
Grandmaster Lim, Hyun Su who was taught by Great
Grandmaster Choi, Yong Sool; the founder of Hapkido.
