Hapkido Clubs
in Peterborough
Hapkido is a Korean martial art, and combines kicks, punches, joint manipulation, locks, and
throwing techniques from Karate, Aikido and Judo. There are also traditional weapons including short stick, cane, rope, nunchucks, sword and
staff which vary in emphasis depending on the particular tradition examined drawing influence from other native Korean martial arts.
Characteristic for Hapkido are the wrist locks and throws that can look quite spectacular. Hapkido uniforms are available in white and black and
have a characteristic diamond pattern.
Developed in the 1940s and 50s, its founder Grandmaster Yong Shui Choi (also known as Choi Yong Sul) had learned martial arts first in Japan,
in a school of Daito-Ryu Aiki-Jujutsu, an ancient form of Jujutsu that was practiced mostly by Samurai.
 On Choi’s return to Korea, he added many techniques to defend against particular types of attacks, and borrowed heavily from
other styles. The name of what is known as Hapkido today changed several times, and famous students of Choi such as Grandmaster Ji Han Jae
(Founder of Sin Moo Hapkido) continued to develop the art and were instrumental in bringing Hapkido to the west, where it was taught to FBI
and other US government agencies.
During this time Ji Han Jae met Bruce Lee, who was very impressed with the techniques of Hapkido. Ji Han Jae coached Bruce Lee, who then went
on and incorporated certain aspects of Hapkido into the development of his own emerging style, Jeet Kune Do. Read more... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapkido
