International Hapkido Tamworth

Instructor Sabumnim D. Yates

I teach and continue to train in Hapkido.

合HAP – coordinated/ Harmonised 氣 KI – energy, spirit, strength, or power DO – way or art.

Hapkido contains both long- and close-range fighting techniques, utilising jumping kicks and percussive hand strikes at longer ranges as well as pressure point strikes, joint locks, or throws at closer fighting distances. Hapkido emphasizes circular motion, redirection of force, and control of the opponent. Practitioners seek to gain advantage through footwork, timing, balance and body positioning to incorporate the use of leverage, avoiding the use of strength against strength.

Hapkido is a highly eclectic Korean martial art. As a form of self-defense it engages with joint locks, grappling and throwing techniques as well as kicks, punches, and other striking attacks such as the us of Accupressure strikes and manipulation. There are at a higher level defence and attack techniques relating to weapons such as knife, sword, rope, nunchaku, cane/walking stick, short stick (dan bong), and middle-length staff

The art adapted from was taught by a man called Choi Yong-Sool when he returned to Korea after World War II, having lived in Japan for 30 years. This system was later combined with kicking and striking techniques of indigenous and contemporary arts such as Taekkyeon, as well as throwing techniques and ground fighting from Japanese judo.
