THE FOCUS

Self Defense Skills - are established for each belt level. The skills require minimal to no physical power to apply. HAPKIDO skills are easy to learn and remember. The proper execution of a skill (DO) requires the bringing together of mental and physical energy (KI) into a flowing motion (HAP) .

Self Defense Application/Drills are required at each belt level. This will assist the student in learning how to respond quickly to an attacker. Hapkidoist must always be ready to invent, devise and create new combinations and ideas and application of self defense skills to deal with any circumstance.

Forms consist of a sequence of movements. As the student internalizes forms, self defense skills and applications will become more fluid.

The study of the SHINAI (PRONOUNCED SHIN - EYE) Bamboo Sword (Kendo influence), short stick and cane are used for self defense. This will help the student to develop reaction time.

The continued practice of HAPKIDO principles will assist the student in developing a Soft (Respect and Courtsey) Outside and a Hard (Integrity, Wisdom, Perseverance, Self Control and Spirit) Inside .
