Sorry about that... there isn't an English site there. With a google search, I came up with some "Hankido" references, but nothing technique-wise. If you can't read Korea, just go to the site and start clicking around... there's lots of little video clips and such in it.
these are all the links found on the official IHF site: http://www.ushankido.org/ (USA L.A.) http://www.sangmoo.com/ (looks under construction or something) http://www.ihkd.co.kr/ http://www.myhapkido.co.kr/ http://www.hapkidohellas.gr/ (greec site, STILL languagebarrier :bang: ) http://www.hkd.com.au/ (english) http://www.hankido.cl/ (english + spanish) http://www.daehansports.com/ (belgium - :love: ) http://www.hapkidousa.org/ (USA San Francisco) http://www.thehapkidoinstitute.com/ (USA also Frisco) http://www.unitedstateshapkihae.com/ (USA college park) http://www.hapkiyoosool.com/ (USA Florida) http://www.hapkido.com.br/ (Brasil) http://www.hapkido.ca/ (Canada) http://hapkido.irk.ru/ (Russia, has an english version, but that's under construction :bang: ) bvermillion: hope that helps you a bit, at least this might answer some of your questions

They have an other grandmaster than our club. They als do Yang style tai chi compementary with their hkd. They train very very slow have an other stance, its different. That's why I cant pinpoint what is hankido becouse even in the federation/Korea are other styles. sorry for the errors but I couldn't be bodered

Very Impressive. I still sometimes get stuck counting to 10 in Korean and I learned way back as a White Belt when I first started TKD.
I would like to pick up the discussion wat's the difference hankido/hapkido for me hankido is a hapkido style but mister rosenberg sees in hankido only a resemblence of hapkido more concrete differences seen? I can't pin point what is hapkido what is hankido it's all the same to me they have the same princeples and everything so please your thoughts about it tnx
I think hankido isn't as old as hapkido, it more modern... I also feel that with hankido you turn more? (circular motion) what do you think about that fester? anybody? just my humble thoughts n the matter...
are you mocking me boy!!!!!! ofcourse hankido is younger and yes more circular motions but hapkido has that to das dus wel de laatste keer dat ik int engels tegen u spreek he
(Piece of advice: MAP prefers English as the language for posts... use of lots of non-English can result in locking or editting of posts. ) Apparantly GM Myong Jae-nam was one of the few Hapkidoists who regularly invited Japanese Aikidokas to come and share their knowledge in Korea. As you know, after Japanese occupation, many Korean hated the Japanese and refused to acknowledge any Japanese influence in their culture and/or martia, arts. Because of GM Myong's interaction with Aikido, some people believe that he developed Hankido based on a closer look at Aikido's principles with a goal creating a simple system that could complement Hapkido. (This is all based on what I've read... I do not know how accurate the information is, but it fits well with my experiences in GM Myong's system in Korea.) For me personally, Hankido provides me with additional ways to teach circular concepts, footwork and breathing and it ties nicely into Hapkido (I find Hankido a bit "softer" than Hapkido)
I trained in Nonsan City in Chungchongnamdo under Master Choi Hyeon-kyu. Our federation is the International Hapkido Federation and the President was (while I was there) GM Jae-Nam Myong. I also studied Hankido under Master Choi Hyeon-kyu. I also studied Korean Guards Martial Arts (Han Gook Kyeong Ho Moo Sool) and was rank certified under Association President Ki Sang Kim. I was also formally recognized for my contributions to the Korea Guards Martial Arts by Association Presdient Ki Sang Kim. ushankido: I just went into your website... AWESOME. I really enjoyed it. Thanks
New Video!!!!!!!!!! I got my Hankido: A Basic Introduction to the Art DVD and watched it a few times. The DVD (region free) runs about 70 minutes (or so) and is sectioned into a lot of chapter grouped by topic... very easy to find what you are looking for. The production is very good and very clear. It is in Korean but has English, Greek, Spanish, and Portuguese subtitles, which are very good and clearly written (with a very few errors) The material starts from a series of warmups and stretches (about 5 minutes worth) and proceeds into Hankido breakfalls (a bit softer than "standard" Hapkido) and breakfall combinations! It also covers some basic footwork drills (keys to the techniques later on) It then covers the 12 basic offensive and defensive postures that can be done as a solo training exercise. It shows them first with a partner and then solo. All techniques are shown at full speed and slow speed several times and from different angles. Next, the basic techniques are shown in a self defense sense... with more pressure and resistance. The DVD culminates with the basic technqiues being applied on resiting opponents from a variety of attacks. They are taught from a cross wrist grab but this part is key in showing how these 12 basic techniques (or 24 if you count offence/defence as separate) can be adapted to any situation. Various finishers are shown as well. Overall this DVD shows how a relatively basic system made up of a limited amount of techniques can be applied in many situations in a practical way. Extras: This DVD has a large photo slide show which is really cool and also about 10 minutes of (grainy) footage of GM Myung Jae-nam in action at demos. He shows his stuff in soft ways and escalates up to using it against some serious guys under pressure. This 10 minute set of footage is worth the price of the DVD for anyone who is a fan of GM Myung Jae-nam and for whoever wants to see him in action (especially his link to Hapkido and Aikido) Overall, would I recommend this DVD? Yes, the price is good, the production is excellent and the extras are very valuable. -I would recommend this to any and all Hankido students and to students of GM Myung Jae-nam's IHF. -I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see the applications of a soft art in a "hard" way... of seeing how "fancy" footwork and techniques can be adapted and applied in many situations -For people who want straight forward self defence stuff, you may not care for this. The techniques are fairly easy but require a lot of practice, thought, and "doing" before it can be applied in a self defence situation. It is available from http://www.sangmookwan.com/index.php?mode=info&Page=49 (Check out the webiste as well... really good. I'd love to stay there and train someday!)
That sounds pretty cool,Thomas. I have seen some clips from IHF with GM Myung and was "wowed" by his fluid and effecient movement. I'll definitely be giving this DVD a go.
The Hankido Basics-DVD costs $34.95 or €29.- Discounts are available for schools that order 10 DVD's or more.
For me to order from Korea to the US, the shipping was $5... for a total of $39.95USD. As a student of Hankido, I would have paid more!!! As an interested Hapkido student, this price is pretty good.
