Hapkido martial arts originated with a group of Korean Nationals led by Choi Yong Sul in the mid-1900's. The primary aim of Hapkido is self-denfense, and so practitioners focus mainly on countering attacks of other martial arts, as well as common unskilled attacks. Hapkido combines many fighting techniques, including aikido and taekwondo, though the main purpose of engagement is to get near enough to ones opponent for a close strike or throw. Using circular motion and non-resisting movement, Hapkido practitioners gain advantage of their opponents using footwork and body positions. In fact, the phrase Hapkido is usually translated as “the way of coordinating energy”.
Hapkido practitioners train with a range of weapons including dan bongs, fans, ropes and swords. In this free video, Master David Herbert employs his 36 years of experience to explain and demonstrate a variety of Hapkido weapons. Using a wide range of striking and pinning techniques, Master Herbert shows how to use different weapons in combination with traditional Hapkido tactics for self-defense against an enemy attack.
