Hapkido's philosophy is based on the
principles of Yin & Um. Rather than
opposing force with force, a student of
Hapkido accepts and redirect the
opponent's force, using it to defeat him.
Circular, fluid movement, rather than
linear movement, is used
for techniques.
Won
"The Circle Principle"
The circle is an important figure in Hapkido. In movement it represents smooth
flowing motion as opposed to straight or
linear movement. Force is not met with
force, rather it is redirected away from
the Hapkido defender. One's personal
space is a circle, into which none may
enter. The circle also represents that
invisible and ever changing range at
which strikes and further out, kicks will
be a danger to the Hapkidoist.
Won also represents the circle of life. We
start our Hapkido life as a white belt
beginner. After years of study and
progression up the ranks, the student
achieves black belt, only to find that
they have come the complete circle and
are now beginners again. Outside of the
do-jang, we begin life dependent on
others. Often, after Living a full life, the
circle is completed as we end life again
dependent on others. Hapkido is full of
circular motion, almost every technique
applies this principle, in one way or another, especially airplane, backspin and
any throw.

moving.

hear it: events, seminars, testing, promo-
One in every 15-20 students
stays for the long haul. They are
the ones who come to train when
the weather is bad and when the
weather is great. They are the
ones that work through and adapt
to injury and setbacks. They are
the ones that continue on by
teaching the way to a
new generation.
They are the greatest asset any
school and instructor can ever
have.

Concept vs. Technique*
Concepts are but ideas - thought
patterns ones goes thru to determine
a course of training.
It is not until we put those concepts
into reality - our training - does it
become technique. That is not to say
that technique is purely a physically
thing - it can me mental, emotional
and spiritual. But it is not until the
concept becomes part of what we do
is it considered a technique.
Once it becomes technique then it
can be applied to everything we do on and off the mat. No matter how
big or small - it all has a great impact
on what we do and how we choose to
do it.
