Combat Hapkido trapping may not be as in depth as this is but it is there and the foundation is growing with each new understanding.

The unlucky one stood there in amazement as the attacker Jeremiah Lemond came at him from the other side of the ring. Never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

Who are the master you studied under? Was one of them a Master Chung? I've been trying to locate him for some time. - -Ray - -- Ray Simmons EMC Corporation res@mil.emc.com 5 technology Dr. (508)435-1000 x55669 Milford, Ma. 01757 - -------- Opinions are mine alone --------- ------------------------------ From: "Van Niel, JJ" Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1999 14:54:02 -0400 Subject: the_dojang: Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido vs. other forms of Karate Hi, I have been taking Tae Kwon Do for about a month now (I have no previous martial arts experience) and have a couple of questions/concerns. 1) I have heard a couple of people mention that Tae Kwon Do is not as effective as Karate or Kung Fu because it focuses mainly on kicks. If this is true does Hapkido help to combat this so called "weakness"? In addition can you tell me some of the diferences between Hapkido, Combat Hapkido and Tae Kwon Do? 2) One of the things I like about Tae Kwon Do is that once you are a purple belt you can practice full contact sparring (My dojang is WTA affiliated). Why don't many other forms of martial arts do this and what are the benefits/drawbacks to this. 3) Is it good to practice two forms of martial arts ie. Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido, or is it better to just focus on one? Thanks for your time and information.

Just wondering. >Why would one throw a flying kick when the target is likely to move? >Ray Terry If the opponent DOES move one can kick with the other foot while still in the air. This works particularly well when beginning with a flying front kick and then following with a roundhouse (turning) kick while still in the air. You opponent will find himself dodging into the follow-up kick if he moves to the side. Yes, this is a kick I recommend for sparring over self-defense.
