Hey Jack,

Sorry about the late reply, but I believe that's one of the black belts at the school in Korea. I see that she's wearing a SHJM patch, so I'm just guessing...

You're right though... she's got mad flexibility!

Hey Everyone!
My name is Jack, I started training at KMA about 6 weeks ago. I am having a great time training, and meeting new people. My previous training was a little TKD (a long time ago), and I trained with a friend who taught me his own mixed martial arts. I just moved here about 4 years ago. I am originally from Lima, Oh. I am excited about learning TSD, and I hope to see you all in class!

Jack

Hapkido and Aikido

I have been very interested in what practitioners of Hapkido and those of Aikido perceive to be the difference between the two arts. Would someone from KMA be willing to comment on this?

Thank you for the information. (That information would be good to include on the new website.) I look forward to attending a class after I've settled in Columbus. Thanks, again.

We are affiliated with the Korea Hapkido Federation. Our headmaster is a student of Grandmaster Jung Tae Ik, of Kum Moo Kwan. Feel free to ask any further questions or if you want, private message me for more details. I think that upon relocating to Columbus if you were to try attending one of our classes that you will be impressed with the quality and depth of instruction. I hope this answers you questions.

Having looked more closely, I am speculating that KMA is not affiliated with the World Hapkido Association. Am I right? I do not ask to be critical, by any means, but I am curious about the lineage, especially because the FAQ page suggests that one examine an instructor's lineage before committing to a martial arts school. Can anyone give me more information about the Grandmasters who taught KMA's Masters?

Hello, I am soon moving to Columbus and am considering becoming a student at KMA. I have been researching Hap Ki Do and am wondering if KMA is affiliated with the World Hapkido Association. Thank you for your time.

Hmm... you could become a nerd like me and play DnD. I dunno how much you like photography, but that's a fun hobby. I tend to play my ps3 too much. Biking is a fun hobby to do.

Try in-line skating.

Than I must be a nerd, Miranda. I've done all of those things... Photography and PS3 are still a couple of the nerd-items I do. Of course, I don't consider any of those things "nerdy." As long as you're having fun and not breaking the law, it's all good.
