History of Hapkido

As with most martial arts the history of Hapkido is shrouded

in mystery and controversy Lack of original records hearsay anecdotes politics egos and ravages of time all but ensure sketchy and biased accounts of the origin of this martial art

Over the past 2000 years the Korean people have

developed several fighting systems and martial disciplines which have evolved into modern TaeKwonDo Tang Soo Do Hapkido Kook Sook Hwa Rang Do and others Hundreds of years of trade war occupation and exchange between Korea and its neighbors China and Japan has resulted in ldquocross-pollinationrdquo mutual influence and blending of styles and techniques It is now virtually impossible to state with certainty which techniques are truly Korean Chinese or Japanese in origin

Hapkido was founded by Choi Yong Sool (1904-1986) Reportedly he developed the system by combining native Korean fighting methods with Japanese Daito Ryu Aiki-Ju Jitsu Choi had learned that system from its Headmaster Sokaku Takeda while living in Japan from 1915-1945 After his return to Korea Choi started teaching Self Defense (Yawara) in TaeGue City He initially called his system Yu Kwon Sool One of Choi‟s senior students Ji Han-Jae claims to have been the first to introduce the name ldquoHapkidordquo in Seoul in 1957 However this is strongly disputed by Choi‟s first student and mentor Prof Suh Bok Sup

who claims that he and Choi were already using the word ldquoHapkidordquo when they opened their first dojang (school) in 1951 Some ldquotraditionalrdquo instructors claim that Hapkido contains over 3600 techniques including as many as 120 different kicks However Prof Suh Bok Sup who was Choi‟s first and employer disputes this and asserts that the original Hapkido system as

taught by Choi was comprised of only 100 self defense techniques Nowadays there are many styles of Hapkido as well as over a dozen associations governing bodies Some styles have produced forms (Hyung) and require them for advancement others emphasize high kicking (including jumping and flying

kicks) still others heavily influenced by Judo and Aikido emphasize throwing skills The word Hapkido is made up of three distinct words As you will see each word has a few different meanings HAP which means to coordinate to combine to unite to join KI which means internal power dynamic energy DO which means the way

The word Taekwondo is made up of three distinct words As you will see each word has a few different meanings TAE which means foot KWON which means fist DO which means the way

Universal Theories of Hapkido

The Water Principle (Yu) which teaches the student to

The Circular Motion Principle (Won) which teaches the

student how to gain and impart momentum by moving in a circular manner By redirecting the attack in a circular direction the student controls the balance and the kinetic energy of the attacker

The Non-resistance (or Harmony) Principle (Hwa) which

teaches the student to remain relaxed flexible (not tense) and not to meet force with force
