But I still feel he skips some that might be important. Who knows. I wish I could skip some things I am taught. Like flying kicks. But, u never know where u might need it. Donna >> I have studied "traditional" Hapkido with 2 different Korean Masters in the Chicago area for about 5 years and I have studied Combat Hapkido with Master Pellegrini for the last 4 years. The ICHF black belt curriculum has more techniques than either of the traditional systems that I studied, so Im not sure where the idea that Combat Hapkido has such fewer techniques came from. The elements that are eliminated for traditional Hapkido are forms, stances, and high kicks..in place of those Master P. has added JKD trapping concepts, ground grappling and all kicks are directed at the lower portion of the body. He didnt eliminate stuff as much as he replaced stuff. The actual number of techniques is much more than either system I studied. As far as flying side kicks..we try to focus our time on practical techniques and not spend many hours trying to perfect a technique that is impractical and will probably never be used. Because the average american can only spend 3-4 hrs/week training, we feel that the time can be better spent.

Overall Combat Hapkido is a practicle system of defense. Michael Rowe ***** Since JKD is not an organized MA (Bruce was my student for a period and was all over the place philosophically, never really knowing where he was headed, and stole everything from others), would you please tell me which "trapping" techniques ended up in JKD that have been incorporated in Combat Aikido.

Stand at arm's length and turn and run. At your first movement, your partner is to try to catch you. Keep trying at varying distances, i.e., 3, 6, 10 ft. until he can't catch you. Very enlighting experiment! I advocate walking away while the fool that attacked you lies unconscious.

Why would one throw a flying kick when the target is likely to move?
