Hapkido? This guy thinks hes in a Jackie Chan Movie. Either that or west-side story the way his students are jumping around whenever he looks at them.

Urghh... proof that you can do anything with a compliant uke. I loved the one with the two swordsmen who had to stop mid swing so they didn't hit their master.

"Not in the face!"

[SLJ]

Hahaha, that is unbelievable.

Look at the "self defence" ones.

I think he is wicked! Very funny. The bit where he runs up his students leg and kicks him in the back of the head is priceless. The cool stances which he takes after finishing off his black-belts are great. He should be famous.

[Kensai]

Looks very impressive.

However he did say that Hapkido was created in the 14 centry handed down my Korean kings. I wonder if he actually know the history of his system, being that it was actually born from O Sensei Ueshiba's Aikido which is only some 60 years old, so where are the missing 540 years?

Kira Gracie or Shannon Logan would destroy that guy

[JKDChick]

I just loved the way everyone pauses and waits till he's set before moving. And the kick to the back of the head? Tha looked cool, but I doubt it wuld have worked if the student hadn't stamped down and braced himself in a perfect stance first.

I wonder if you know your history Kensai. Hapkido did not come from Aikido. Hapkido was developed from Daito-ryu Aiki-jitsu. GM Choi Yong-sool was a student of Sokaku Takeda (who by the way was O'Sensei's teacher). So they come from the same root, but Hapkido is not from Aikido. Now what we see Jin-pal doing is more of the "modern" hkd. Gen Choi's HKD was just Daito-ryu jujitsu. It was the 2nd and 3rd generation students that added the Kicks. Many people believe it was Ji, Han-jae that brought kicks from Taekyon and put them into the HKD curriculm.
