International H.K.D. Federation
The International H.K.D. Federation (I.H.F.) was founded in 1974 by hapkido grandmaster Myung Jae Nam. Its original name was the ''International Hapkido Federation'' — it was changed when hankido and hankumdo were added to the I.H.F.'s curriculum. Goal The goal of the I.H.F is to promote the practice of Korean martial arts like hapkido, hankido and hankumdo. History Myung Jae Nam had started teaching in Incheon from his school called Jeong Do Kwan (정도관) in 1962. In 1973 he founded his own federation, called ''Dae Han Kuk Hapki Hwe'' (대한국합기회). In October 1974, while still maintaining his own organization, he assisted in the forming the ''Dae Han Min Kuk Hapkido Hyop Hwe'' (대한민국합기도협회, Republic of Korea Hapkido Association). He was appointed the executive director and remained with that organization until 1980. In August 1974, he again changed the name of his own organization to ''Kuk Je Yon Maeng Hapki Hwe'' (국제연맹합기회), which is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hapkido
Hapkido ( , , also spelled ''hap ki do'' or ''hapki-do''; from Korean 합기도 ''hapgido'' ) is a hybrid Korean martial art. It is a form of self-defense that employs joint locks, grappling, throwing techniques, kicks, punches, and other striking attacks. It also teaches the use of traditional weapons, including knife, sword, rope, nunchaku (ssang juhl bong), cane (ji pang ee), short stick (dan bong), and middle-length staff (joong bong), gun (analogous to the Japanese jō), and bō (Japanese), which vary in emphasis depending on the particular tradition examined. Hapkido employs both long-range and close-range fighting techniques, utilizing jumping kicks and percussive hand strikes at longer ranges, and pressure point strikes, joint locks, and throws at closer fighting distances. Hapkido emphasizes circular motion, redirection of force, and control of the opponent. Practitioners seek to gain advantage over their opponents through footwork and body positioning to incorpora ...

Hankido
Hankido is a new martial art style developed by Myung Jae-nam using circular flowing movements owing to Myung Jae-nam's background in traditional Korean dance. Etymology The name hankido is a mix of the name ''Hanguk'' (the Korean name for South Korea) and ''hapkido''. The resulting word ''hankido'' is often written with the ''han'' in Old Korean, where the letter "a" (ㅏ) is written as arae-a, which looks like a dot. Hankido aims to be a Korean martial art for and from the Korean people, accessible to everyone. The precise origin of hapkido, from which hankido is derived, is one of many Japan–Korea disputes, as there is a strong connection to the Japanese martial art aikido. "Aikido" is always written in kanji, which is similar to hanja. The word hankido actually consists of three different hanja: * Han (한 / 韓): Korea, Korean culture and mentality (see Names of Korea). * Ki (기 / 氣): Ki * Do (도 / 道): The way So it could be said that hankido means: The way for Kor ...

Hankumdo
Hankumdo is a Korean sword-art where the basic techniques are based on the letters of the Korean alphabet, Hangul. Goal The goal of hankumdo is to teach people how to defend themselves and at the same time offer them exercises to stay healthy. It also is meant to give practitioners the means to come to a deeper understanding of martial arts principles. It aims to make this easy by using the Korean writing system to systematize the techniques. History Hankumdo was developed by Myung Jae Nam, who first taught his sword techniques as a separate art in 1986 and was first publicized in 1997 during the 3rd International H.K.D Games. Hankumdo originated from the techniques used in Hankido to defend against sword attacks. Though first presented as a subset of the larger Hankido curriculum under the name hankumdobub (hankumdo techniques), Myung Jae Nam later decided that it was an art that could stand on its own merits and is often taught as a separate discipline. Hankumdo doesn't have ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
