    Has anyone ever heard of the Korean Musul Hapkido Association? Or heard of Grandmaster Long K Park?

    Never heard of either and my google-fu turned up nothing. DO you have any links or any other info?

    Unfortunatley, no. I tried google-fu and my lack of success is why I thought I'd ask here. It's the organization of the school I attended :p I've seen one thing about Long K Park, but not much else.

    Was it a Korean organisation, in the sense that the organisation was/is actually registered in Korea? Or was it a organisation registered in the US, but with a Korean sounding name?

    So you are already part of his organisation?
    Wouldn't it be easier to just talk to the man directly?

    Do you know is real Korean name? That would make finding info easier.
    Searching for 한국무술합기도 (that is what it says on the patch) doesn't produce any information. Seems like Mr. Park isn't connected to the internet yet

    hmmm could it be yong kyu park? he was a kuk-sul master that came to the usa and settled in so-cal (i think anaheim area). the logo is VERY similar to the KS logos of the past... and names, well hangeul is tranliterated differently by many, especially that generation. my instructor spent some time with him back in the 80's, and if it who i think it is... he passed away.

    That's very possible. I'm from SoCal so that adds up. Also I know our chief instructor trained in Hapkido, Muay Thai, and another Korean martial art. I can't remember which it was but Kuk Sul Do sounds right. So that's totally possible. Sorry to hear he passed away :( That'd be an epic coindience though if our instructors trained together :D

    I've never met Mr. Park. I could ask at the dojo, but it'd be nice to hear it from an outside source, just to verify :Angel:
