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.

Yong Soo Ji do

Todd Bettler — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 03:59:55 GMT

For those of you that are interested, Master Circle conducts a Yong Soo Ji Do (SP) class on Tuesday and Thursday evenings , following the evening adult session. I've participated in this class for a couple months and I can't express how much it's helped my coordination, in just that short time. I do believe, and Master Circle can verify if true, that Yong Soo is exclusive to Koguryo MA, and it is also where our triangle striking comes from. One of my biggest difficulties is trying to get my hands and feet to work independently of each other, but in unison. Often times I get frustrated when I can step or strike but doing both at the same time looks and feels awkward. Yong soo has honestly helped me in this area. It's also helped my confidence. In YS we also practice energy training which helps in many ways, not too mention it's a blast once the rotation really starts moving.

We usually train for apprx. 45 mins to an hour. Again, I highly suggest this training if you can be there. It's exciting, it's energetic, it's exclusive to KMA and it's just a good idea. I'm looking forward to seeing others start to attend.
