Summary: Hapkido is an eclectic Korean martial art; its name means “the way of coordinating energy” or “the way of coordinated power.” Hapkido is ultimately used as self-defense and combines other skilled martial arts with common attacks. There is a historical link to Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu, but the overall history of Hapkido is shrouded in confusion due to animosity between Korean and Japanese cultures leftover from the Great War. The main focus of Hapkido is footwork and body positioning used to employ leverage. In this form of martial arts, strikes, locks, and throws are the focus, as well as pressure points.In this free martial arts weapon training video series, learn how to use a Hapkido bo staff. Master David Herbert will demonstrate Hapkido staff techniques for striking the stomach, eyes and groin, combination attacks, defense and escape maneuvers, and even how to fight staff to staff. Learn how to properly use the Hapkido staff as an effective self-defense tool and a powerful martial arts weapon.
