In our style of kicking we do not seek to strongly chamber our knee.
Front kick comes off
the ground with only enough bend at the knee to clear the floor and then half way through its execution we change the kick into front kick, side kick or roundhouse based upon our need. The leg is thrown long, without much knee chambering,with the intention of getting the hips to do most of the work and to de-emphasize the role of the knee in delivering power in the kick. The result is a kick which emphasizes power over speed. ou can see this at work in muay thai as well, in the sense that they emphasize the hip over the knee, although they typically pick up the roundhouse a little earlier and throw it wider. !!! I have trained with aikidoka of various styles over the years and have a couple of dacades of practise in "orean hapkido as well as having trained with the Takumakai branch of #aito-ryu while living in $saka. #acades ago, I passed a few fruitful months training under the late %ochizuki %inoru at the his oseikan &ombu do'o. I was attracted to the do'o because of %ochizuki(s breadth of practise and I was interested in how he combined the traditions he learned directly from "ano, )eshiba and Funokoshi. I was especially interested in the areas in which his aikido and 'udo overlapped* iriminage into singlewing chokes and so on. +lasses were held in 'udo and aikido separately but people crosstrained freely and it was always my impression that the 'udoka kept the aikido being performed on the mat (honest(. They had no love for 'umping for techni,ues which they didn(t feel compromised by. It was my feeling that Tomiki aikido -.hodokan/ practitioners were probably very lucky in this respect as so many of them in 0apan have very significant experience in both arts. I let a oshinkan aikido practising friend of mine watch some footage of some of %ochizuki(s students training back in the day and I was surprised by his reaction. 1This is really bad aikido21 were his sentiments. 3ow I felt his waza and respect him, but I also felt theirs and respected it more. I think what he was reacting was not the perceived effectiveness of the techni,ue but rather the fact that it looked (ugly(. I think that the style of ukemi that is perferred in aikido, and this goes back to prewar footage we can view of the founder(s students as well, is partly shaped by a certain aesthetic sense of how ukemi should be done. If one reacts early, one has the necessary control of one(s own weight to perform beautiful arcing ukemi. The later one waits to initiate ukemi, the more we allow our opponent to take control of our balance, the less aesthetically pleasing the ukemi can sometimes be. .o whereas when I look at oseikan and Tomiki aikido-ists receiving techni,ues and perceive something which I see as more (realistic( in terms of ukemi, someone from another tradition whose aesthetic sense differs may see what they view to be (ugly( ukemi. I think our prior training conditions what we perceive as (realistic( and also establishes our sense of what constitutes (beautiful( techni,ue. 4oing back to the first clips there was an argument about which clip showed better utilization of kuzushi for the throw. 5hereas this may make perfect sense from an aikido perspective I think from both a hapkido as well as a #aito-ryu perspective, the ,uestion of what you do at that point in the techni,ue is really moot. The only reason that in the first instance the uke is able to launch himself into a nice roll in the first clip and the only reason tori is able to create nice kuzushi to uke(s rear in the second instance is because in both instances tori has be nice enough to (suppress( his techni,ue. In the original intention of the techni,ue the (kuzushi( will be created by the breaking of the arm at the elbow and shoulder. This leverage will unbalance the opponent in the direction one wishes to throw them. (Four directions( of this throw is possible only when one has tight control of uke(s 'oints. )ke is allowed the luxury of ukemi by the grace of tori(s generosity ... and his desire to continue to have mutually beneficial practise. 6ut if the techni,ue is not compromised for the safety of uke, ukemi will not be possible. I suppose this is neither here nor there from an aikido perspective but they were 'ust some thoughts I had while reading what began as a very interesting thread. !!! On padded man practise Kwon sells a a chest protector which is far better for full out striking than anything I(ve used from Fairtex or FIST Inc. as of yet. It is about 7 inches thick. ou can employ kicks with it with people who actually know how to kick and it doesn(t leave you feeling like you are having an intestinal massage. It(s cheaper as well. 6etter for what I call (sitting duck( practise than having the padded man fight. The FI.T protectors -fighting series/ are better for that. #oing rounds unloading full force strikes on a padded man who is moving around, pushing you, grabbing you and continuously changing distances while you are striking is ,uite an important part of my training group(s current practise. 8 great wake up call for most, making one aware of their ability -or lack thereof / to throw down for more than 9: seconds. The softer the target the greater the tendency there is to (push( instead of (hit( when you are practising. &arder protectors tend to save you from the contact but really shake you up inside. Fairtex sells a good harder shell protector and sometimes I(ll put these over a softer targer. The receiver can then withstand any kind of shot but really must be in a role dedicated to training his partner rather than training himself. 4ood stuff for someone in the role of coaching others in their striking. !!!!. Controlling without injury 8 couple weeks ago I was training a fellow who is a Toronto police officer. I introduced him to the techni,ue which is referred to as onkyo -or 7th control/ in aikido -4osh I(m constantly wishing hapkido techni,ues had universally recognized names2/ utilizing one(s grip to access the nerve on the inside of the wrist of one(s opponent. This officer is a ; foot <, =>; lb "orean male -5e have (affirmative action( he on the force in Toronto/. .o not large by any means. I started showing him and a few of the others officers this techni,ue earlier than is usual in the curriculum I learned because -a/ it is a difficult techni,ue to do really well and so one should start working on it early2 -b/ it is a techni,ue that affects control without causing any in'ury. 3o marks, no sprained wrist, no broken elbow, nothing unpolitically correct looking to uninvolved bystanders looking on. 5ell this officer had reason to use this techni,ue much earlier than I had planned, in fact, I believe it was the same week that I showed it to him. &e and his partner were faced with a very large, mentally unstable woman who was lashing out at them in a very small office. The woman was in fact much larger than the officer and his first instinct was to left hook her to the 'aw as she struck out at him, but wisely he chose not to follow his instincts and instead applied the control we had been working on and pinned on top of the desk in the office for handcuffing. 8 'ob well done. 6ut I don(t recommend this control for everyone or all encounters. ?eople in the process of being arrested by police are sometimes intent on not being compliant but are not in fact determined to do real harm to the officer. They wish only not to be arrested and to get away. .ometimes when they realize that this is no longer possible they may even become compliant. ?ain is less of an issue in a case of those truly out of touch or someone who really trying to kill you regardless of the conse,uences. .ome people are far less sensitive on some pressure points than others. Those on strong drugs often will be less affected as well. They will be willing to let you break their fingers in order to get free of finger locks. They will accept a sprained wrist in an effort to do you harm. $ne of my associates had a friend who applied an elbow lock on a drunken sailor in 4reece. &e hyperextended the sailor(s elbow with ,uite a severe lock and felt it break. The sailor(s reaction@ &e reached on to the table with his free hand, picked up a bottle and hit him with it. In'ured but not out of action. For controlling a mentally unstable person without harming them I think it recommended that people work in pairs to take someone down and they should train to work together in this effort and give each other verbal cues as to what their strategy is. 8ll too often partners work against each in fact foiling each other(s movements or helping the patient maintain their position by pulling in opposite directions. In attempting to control someone on one(s own I might recommend that one utilize techni,ues which take the opponent down by taking their legs or removing their balance. (Aear drops(, such as 'udoka call tani otoshi or a tripping take down from the back cause one(s opponent to lose their balance without the danger of their hitting their as in the case of a suplex which could be performed from the same set and position. %any sacrifice takedowns may work well but in some cases it would be helpful if they were applied with the knowledge that additional help was on its way for while they may allow you to controll your opponent you may also find that you are e,ually pinned in the position and committed to it until back up arrives. I showed another officer a throw using a techni,ue where you (enter(, place your bent knee behind your opponent and then lead his upper body backwards, upsetting his balance backwards and tripping him over the back of your knee. if this is met with too much resistance one can instantly turn this into a (scooping throw(, sacrificing yourself backward and scooping his knees out from under him with your hands. 8 few days later he received a call. 8rriving on the scene he saw two officers working against each other to control an opponent. &e slipped in, told them to let go and gracefully unbalanced the man onto his back with the above techni,ue. &e told me later 1I always feel that things happen to me for a reason and I felt I learned that techni,ue from you to help me that situation that day.1 $f course we can make our own luck too. !!!! .uffice to say that I have spent a good deal of time training under a hapkido teacher who wasBis ,uite famous for his kicking techni,ue and yet is definitely coming from a different place and generating power differently than conventional Taekwondo practitioner(s do. It may be ,uite true that +hoi ong .ool didn(t emphasize high kicking but it is also e,ually true that his students -even his first generation students/definitely did. I think it is fair to say that high kicks have become a part of the hapkido repetoire. I think hapkido is also somewhat of a conceptual art and one of its concepts is about not having limitations and thus hapkido incorporated striking of all varieties into its curriculum while bring them in line with its concepts of how power should be generated. I think that it may also be noted that some very dramatic kicking exercises are designed to increased the practitioner(s body control rather than to utilized, as is, in fighting. - I(m thinking of certain dramatic 'umping kicks that we employ. / If one is able to throw a 'umping front kickC roundhouse combination in the air it makes one(s regular roundhouse 1fly1 of its accord. 8 good abdominal core development exercise too. !!. I would be inclined to think that leg and ankle locks increase levels of in'ury in competition but perhaps that is because the people I train with them are less adapt at performing and receiving them than they are at, say, armlocks. If one lacks sensitivity perhaps they will put them on too ,uickly or dangerously and perhaps tap too late. I(ve limped around for a week D at times because an ankle lock, imperfectly placed, left me feeling that while the ankle lock was hurting it was nothing that I couldn(t take and fight out of. 8nd at that moment it wasn(t. 8n hour later was ,uite a different matter2 .ambo players may have greater control of their techni,ue -when they wish to/ because of increased sensitivity in working with them. The 0apanese submission fellows seem to be able to perform the techni,ues at a very high level of play also. 8nd I think we can remember "en .hamrock vs #on Frye@ - I won the fight but my ankles are broken2 Those techni,ues are nothing to sneeze at. !!!! $h, I dig .teven .eagal(s approach to waza. &e 'ust seems to have personal issues with the world. &as anyone seen the clips floating around of him practising at his school in $saka with the 0apanese modern drumming. Interesting no nonsense waza and great matching of music to image. I also like the 3ihon 0u'utsu 8ikido I have seen. I(ve seen Aobert %acEwan doing waza and found his approach ,uite compelling. !!. Tao te ching D.C. Lau I echo +kava in that I have always found the #.+. Fau translation the most en'oyable in terms of the way the phrases are turned. I(ve read a half dozen or so other translations but I find many of them lack the sense of the poetic that Fau seems to capture. .ome may be turned off that they can get it as a second hand ?enguin pocket book for a couple of bucks but regardless I still find it to be the most en'oyable. I cannot speak to its accuracy but I often find more careful literal translations to lose something of the spirit in many works !!! %y teacher, a second generation hapkido-ist, is wonderfully skilled in ground (submission( as may be attested to by the 'udoka and wrestlers who have practised at our club. .ome of the techni,ues he applies while (prone( are really ,uite severe and do not seem to come out of the 'udo or 6razilian curriculum, nor are they 'ust the basic standing techni,ues adapted to the ground. 8nd yet...he does not seem to teach this portion of the syllabus in any systematic way. I also ,uite fre,uently seen him move into techni,ues which I have never seen him do before. This is ,uite surprising as I(ve been watching him for the better part of G: years now. I(ve come to the conclusion that he is unbelievably...inventive2 &e seems to improvise techni,ues based upon his knowledge of 'oint locking appropriately regardless of the situation. )nfortunately this does not necessarily translate into uniform results on the part of his students( groundwork as might be better done via a static curriculum. .till, (figuring things out for yourself( plays an important role in his teaching method. That this particular portion of the curriculum is treated in such a way as opposed to be introduced along with the basics leads me to believe that it was not considered as an important a part of the curriculum in the past. 6y way of a historical note, daito-ryu is characterized by controlling a downed opponent from a kneeling position rather than wrestling with both opponents prone so perhaps this aesthetic was at work influencing hapkido(s early curriculum. This being said we do practise groundfighting as part of our regular fighting fre,uently in the do'ang today !!. web site.. http*BBwww.gongkwon.netB Thanks for posting the above. That was nice to see. Their throwingBgrappling seems stronger than their striking but that is an e,ually valid choice of emphasis, I think. 5hen I was in "orea I found that lots of clubs liked to practise techni,ue -and endless breakfalls2/ but not everybody liked to fight. ou had to look around to find a club like this one !!. #ngrruss, 4ood to hear from someone who attended both events. &ow would you rate the two tournaments if you were to compare them@ $ne of our fellows who won his division in G::7 was Aick .ethi. )nfortunately some of his fights were left off the vidotape including a good one between himself and %aster 0ung(s son. 8nyway, Aicky was saying there was one fellow tearing through guys with nothing but side kick. #o you know to whom he was referring. 8pparentally once he got tackled he done for but Aicky seemed impressed with that fellow as well as with one of your opponent(s %ike Fee. I don(t believe the fellow with the side kick was a heavyweight. 4ood luck in your future forays into competition. To me roundhouse is as big or perhaps a bigger part of hapkido as any 'ointlock we do. 5e train to be effective with any of our skills even if some are not allowed, practical or appropriate to the situation. $f course I understand those who wish to specialize in techni,ues not admissable in fighting sport but that is a choice in the same way as the choice to specialize in techni,ues that are permissable in such events is. It is all hapkido. &apkido is broad enough to include it all. !!.. .ome of these reviews are a bit old but they seem pretty unbiased. ttp*BBsfuk.tripod.comBreviewsBpoochgloves.html I use the &arbinger bag gloves myself but I am not using them much for grappling 'ust light hand protection. +ombatsports.com had some good sturdy looking gloves in the catalogue they sent me with a great selection of what(s out on the market, and $uanos would also be one(s to look at. HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH %atthew Aogers !!! I really like the big collared $uanos but I have never been so disappointed with the way any company handled a problem with an order as I was with them. Ierging on insulting. I can(t ever do business with them again. &atashita.com carries great 'udogi(s but also a Aickson 4racie model 'iu'utsu kimono. !!! %y teacher, %aster &wang In-.hik, taught me in the early years of my training that since hapkido emphasizes weight commitment and power over ,uick snapping movements that kicking with the blade of your foot is a good way to break a bone or sprain an ankle. I can see using the blade for special applications but we never were taught any side kick applications formally so I have to think that it is not the orthodox way of performing this particular kick. %aster &wang is the +hief Instructor for the 5orld &apkido 8ssociation and was formally the +hief Instructor at the head,uarters of the "orea &apkido Federation so I am thinking that what he is teaching is probably considered (conventional( in "orean hapkido circles however there is considerable variation in many hapkidoists( way of performing techni,ues. I, myself, sometimes employ footblade with side kicks which are meant as (checks( to my opponent(s techni,ues but try to use the heel for any fully committed side kick. The heel forms a straight line with the leg so it is easier to line up your full power behind it without having your foot pushed back toward yourself on heavy contact with weight commitment. I don(t think that this means that footblade sidekicks cannot be effectively employed but rather that they are more fre,uently used in arts which emphasize precision over power and are used more typically with arts that prefer a snapping delivery rather than a delivery with lots of forward weight commitment which is one of the characteristics of our hapkido. ..
