| Hapkido |
Hapkido has a full range fighting
arsenal to choose from, but many people know
it for its
ability to control and subdue an attacker through
the use of joint locks, manipulations and
pressure points. There is said to be over 10,000
techniques associated with this art.
Understanding the nature
of Hapkido requires knowledge of actual combat
or self defense
situations. First, in real situations there
are no rules. Second, there is so way to predict
the
situations an attacker will create. Third,
an effective defense requires that your response
to
aggression must be by reflex and appropriate
for the particular attack. Hapkido has techniques
to deal with and respond appropriately to
any type of attack. Since you cannot predict
how someone will attack (strike, kick, grab,
weapon, etc.). When a Hapkido practitioner
is attacked his training is to React reflexively
(thinking is too slow) to the
attacker rather than with predefined forms.
