I would like to add that I am very aware there is Bullshit hapkido out there, both systems and instructors. I learned from A.W. New. He is not bullshit, neither is his teaching.

He learned, and continues to learn from Master J.R. West. Master West is as far from a joke as you can get. I don't care if you don't take hapkido too seriously on this forum. Grandmaster West earned his black belt while in Vietnam, fighting the war, not on tourism.

He has offered and given training to FBI, FBI swat, and Fort Benning. He is well respected and utilized by the US armed forces, to which he served. I don't think the government would have him giving training to spec. ops or the FBI if he was not to be taken too seriously.

Have you ever tried anything else? Isn't there anything else but Hapkido near you?
BTW people training Army or police aren't automatically respected here and with good reason, you will be surprised how ignorant some army people can be about SD. It's a common mistake for example to think that boxing is very basic and crude also not providing you with good tools for self defense because it uses only your fists, the same people will think Kung Fu or Krav Maga is the **** in the streets and what not, because they practice fake kicks to the groin and fake eye gouges etc. The basic recommendation here will be to find a sports based MA, (with the exception of TKD i guess) and practice with a lot of "sparring" and full contact. The closer you simulate "real fighting" the better you will get in "real fighting".

To the OP, never take anything posted on the internet seriously, and you will seldom get in trouble.

The government and FBI have been known to do very stupid things and rely on complete buffoons.

Just exactly like I said. I give respect until I'm given a reason not to. I was given a reason not to right off the bat.

You were given nothing, and you give nothing.

You fight for a living, and I do respect that, in spite of the **** I've said. The only way you would ever convince me to fight you, is by my code. Protect myself, my friends and my family. I believe in strength with peace. Fighting is not how I make my living. It has at times been what I have to do, to continue to do what I do.

I've been beaten down, walking through the ghetto at 3 am. My own fault for being there. Outnumbered, and would have surely been shot if I tried to fight them. Bloodied from my head to my toes. I blew blood clots out of my nose for weeks.

But if anyone threatened to hurt my son, no matter how tough they are, I would kill them, maim them, or die trying. Since before he was born, I've tried to learn all I can to keep that, and still be alive. I am still trying to learn, but I can't find a good teacher for either of us.

You have no honor you have no integrity. These other guys might buy your bullshit but as far I am concerned you can go **** yourself.

The epitome of a compliant partner. I would like to see the re-do with about 50% resistance. He'd have that cane up his ass in about half a minute.

You mean sort of like how these guys do it
http://www.pro-hapkido.com/
It is a rule set/tournament and not a school but what you see is stuff that looks more like sport JuJutsu but doesn't all that wrist locky crap look like that when you use these sorts of rules?
