Ever heard of Hapkiyoosool??

[hapkiyoosool]

We are new to this forum and just wanted to introduce ourselves. Here is a school that is no Bullshido. New to the USA from South Korea. This is something you may want to check out. Seriously. I think you will not be dissapointed.

but my writing is already cooler than yours, so what do i have to learn from you?

[bunyip]

Hahaha!
Your child is at risk everyday.We are not tough guys, we teach an art in which are one move defenses designed against multiple attackers. Remember 9/11 or have you already forgotten and gone back to your "what about me" life style? Terrorists(foreign and domestic) want you dead.

Send me out, boys!

Doesn't look too terrible, especially compared to alot of the other TKD/Hapkido blah blah blah out there. At least you're not claiming that you teach an ancient deadly form chock full o' secrets. Gonna have to question the multiple attackers though.

Are you kidding me? Did you notice:

"We use an extensive knowledge of pressure points and joint locks in the techniques of small circular movements to effectively disable attackers in seconds no matter their physical size or strength."

"The difference between traditional classes and sport is the type of technique. Neither is better than the other, unless your life depends on it."

"Our federation is banned from competition due to the effects of the techniques."

"Special Operations family find our techniques extremely effective at saving team members lives and saving time on the mission"

[HAPKO3]

this has to be a troll. there's no way there guys would try to advertise here. they can't be THAT stupid, can they?

[meowrsx]

i retract my previous statement. i was skimming that big paragraph, and i assumed it was just talking about different jointlocks.

[OneWingedAngel]

"Our federation is banned from competition due to the effects of the techniques."

And their hands are registered as deadly weapons, too, I bet.

[Darting Fingers]

If you scroll down the bottom there's an advert to apply for a World Blackbelt Master Card!
Never seen that before.

[Shuma-Gorath]

Hello, Master Perkins!

[Alex]

Troll perhaps, McDojo sounding, oh yeah. However, I have met a few of the students before and they were some pretty tough dudes.

Yeah, as the old saying goes, you can't always judge a book by its cover. Although such hyperbole naturally makes me skeptical about the quality they actually offer, it is certainly not out of the realm of possibility that what they deliver is top notch. After all, the purpose of a website (or any other advertisement) is to attract new students, not to educate or impress practicing martial artists. Trying to sound like t3h d34dli357 sounds like Bullshido to us, but it certainly attracts students.

As for the "small circle" comment, it is my understanding that such moves are indeed banned in most competition. Even though that is misleading, at least it is a technically honest statement. On the other hand, if they use that line as an excuse for not sparring, I call Bullshido.

How'd you manage that? Them being in Florida and all...

Regardless, it's places like this that give Hapkido a bad name. Actually, it's almost all HKD kwoons that give it a bad name.

$99 a class?! Did I read that right?

[stoogejitsu]

It's places like this that give humanity a bad name.
