What is Hapkido and Ki Meditation
Report
Unlike most martial arts, Hapkido is a complete system teaching kicks, punches, pressure point techniques, throws, joint locks, weapons, free fighting, ki and meditation. Many other martial arts are "hard" - they rely on physical power and are offense oriented. Hapkido is "soft" and defensive, emphasizing throws, twists and pressure point techniques.
Master Parlour
Report
I started training under first generation Hapkido Grandmaster Gedo Chang when I was 13 and have remained a student of his for almost 40 years. I set up Chang's Hapkido Academy UK in the early 90s and run our London school. Aside from the enjoyment I get from being physically active, one thing that draws me to Hapkido is the constant learning it provides.
Syllabus and Grading
Report
Wol Ge Kwan was formally registered with the Korea Hapkido Assn by Grandmaster Chang in 1964. Our UK school was founded in 1993 by Master Tammy Parlour. In the United Kingdom we are also affiliated/insured by NAKMAS martial arts governing body. Classes are rigorous and have a traditional focus on mastering the basics as the foundation for developing advanced technique.
