Wow! I'm 63 and I got into the martial arts as a young teen when the Bruce Lee films first came out. I practice mainly Karate back then, but was always fascinated by the throws in Hapkido after seeing the famous martial arts film of the same name. Thank you for breaking it down and explaining it.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! Are you still training?
62 me too savate judo boxing and hapkido in my 60 l have hapkido book with 2000 page with 1500 techniques
Autor this book is mark tadaschi
Thank you, Sir. Your explanations were very clear. This was helpful. I'm finding that having an instructor is necessary, but having multiple sources of reliable information is also necessary. Well done.
Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm glad you liked the video!
Awesome, discovered you on whistlekick podcast, awesome channel bro
Thank you so much sir for your kind words! Hope to make more videos soon.
Thank you so much. I was looking to get back into Hapkido. I had to stop after about 3 years due to me having to move. It's nice to be able to review proper technique.
I am so glad you enjoyed it! Best of luck in your future training.
IT'S BEING PRESENT (ALWAYS)
I practice aikido and this was useful for me aswell to understand it better thank you !
That's awesome! Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching.
Hey i met you when you came out to CFMAF about 2 months ago. We even spoke and your dad is hella cool.
It was great to meet and train with you! Hopefully we can make it back out there. Hope all is well!
Well, you did stop his motion on the first move by blocking with the arm. A better way to make it work is to just turn into the inside as he punches over your shoulder, catch with the one hand , and bow to complete the shoulder throw. You'll find this flows better without interruption. Thanks for the video. It is nice to see this subject being tackled.

Thank you for your feedback sir. :) These concepts, as you can imagine, are difficult to teach virtually. Flow comes from these concepts being practiced continually. My hope is to provide the basics and understanding of the philosophies. Best of luck in your training and have a blessed day!
Yellow belt checking in. Thank you for the great tutorial sir!
Hello there! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Best of luck to your future training career!
Hello @bpindermoss. I saw your comment, but for some reason I cannot comment back. You said: "I have graduated from Hapkido into Goju Ryu, and find the close-in techniques used in Goju are enhanced by my knowledge of Hap. Goju is short and to the point, but nothing defends better than not being where the moving fist is going, and Hap taught me to spin and not react in a line. A lot karate can be seen to be done in a straight line. Add rotation into Goju has enhanced it."
I am excited to hear about your journey and the way the two worlds have fused for you. I also feel like every teacher out there is dramatically different, so it sounds like you have had some good guidance along your way. You should consider posting some videos of techniques and theories on Goju! That would be cool to see. Thanks for commenting!
That was a nice breaking down of concepts.
Thank you!
Where are you based? I have trained with Kuk Sool, Hwa Ran and later Hai Dong since 1981. I learned of hopki do as a kid through Tae Kwon Do. Fell in love with it as an art. Nice to See hopki do represented as alternative from Tae Kwon Do. When you spend time with the Korean arts you find a very rich history and even more interesting links to the pacific rim and its cultures. Like Okinawan Te, You find tremendous influences of other ideologies and systems that you can pick up and apart. Very Few Korean instructors as well as American instructors will still teach the Hopki in the states because it requires attention to detail and time. The principles of circle water and non resistance are very intricate. The upper body techniques must also carry over to leg technique and ground work. The idea of sport was not the intent of Hopki. It is a complete system and art with origins in Daitio Ryu. Best of luck to you.
Sounds like you really know your history! Thank you for the well thought out comment as well :) we are based in Port Orange Florida. You can find more information on the American Hapkido Alliance Facebook page.
Due to being a non-commercial school we are able to focus on those small details and do not have to concern ourselves with making sure little Johnny gets his belt to pay the bills 😉 our history and all of martial history is of high importance. At every rank our students get a history packet that they must learn. At each testing we have a history portion of the test that is pass/fail for the entire test. To know where you are going it’s best to know where you come from. Where are you based?
Gracias
Excellent brother👌! Best explanation out there. I regret not having studied hapkido. I wasted 4 yrs of my life studying karate back in the 80s. ? Are you based in Florida. Can't seem to find a strictly hapkido school here in south Florida. Wish I could go back in time. Do you have a video study course? I'd love to start practicing here at home first. I'm 55 yrs but in fair shape. Thank you excellent video. 👍👍👍!
Hello there and thank you so much for your kind words! As for you training, I would argue its not a waste! All training has valuable experience. I am located in central Florida. Where at in south Florida? I do not have a video course as our school is a fully non-commercial program and have a smaller group. You can look us up on Facebook under the American Hapkido Alliance for more information. Thanks again for commenting!
I appreciate you both. Thank you for this video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
I remember when I was a young person , was watching a short clip of a martial arts movie which was based on the Japanese in Korea and their was this Korean fighter against a Japanese fighter. Well during the fight , the Japanese Fighter was doing a flying sidekick and the Korean was standing flat footed and brought down the Japanese. It made sense , one does not need to be flying in the air because then you are committed to that, but better to stay grounded .
From Australia. Great examples. More please.
Glad you enjoyed it sir! I’ve got some more content coming soon.
Interesting video! I am a 2nd degree black belt in hapkido i love throws and joint locks in hapkido.
Thank you for watching and commenting! That’s fantastic. May I ask which branch? There are so many lol 😂
@@DrNikolaiLeeI am part of the small circle Hapkido branch under Chris tricoli of Raleigh NC.
@@HybridMMAExtreme That's great! It's always fun to connect like this from different schools. Does small circle have any relation to small circle jiujitsu?
@@DrNikolaiLeeyes kinda sorta but master tricoli also throw in other techniques from the other arts whe is also my kru in Muay Thai kickboxing and I also trained with him Brazilian jiu jitsu but small circle Hapkido does also have the same principles as small circle jujutsu but it more well rounded.
@@HybridMMAExtreme I see :) Well I'm glad that you have found a great balance that works well for you. Im not sure about your motivations, but when I first started training my goal was to defend others. Now, training has become more for self discipline and personal development. Still, everybody has different motivations. Best of luck to all of your future training!
Good information. I learned a lot.
Thank you!
What the Belt Stucture and timeline between Belts if you go 2-3 days per week
Nice, I have always been interested in Hapkido. Never got to try it, probably never will. Really wish I could though.
Never too late!
@@DrNikolaiLee Thank you, worst is the fact I can't find Hapkido in Oklahoma. Tae Kwon Do, yes, Akido, yes, Kempo, no. Oklahoma Sucks. Oh we did have Go Ju Ryu but, the school closed.
Definitely plan to study hapkido in the future I took kempo American karate and judo
I think you would really enjoy it:)
Great explanation
Thank you!
Thanks, good teaching.
Thanks for watching!
thks for making this video,fellow hapkido practicioner
I hope you enjoyed it!
A very clear explanation
Thank you so much!
Really good 💯
Thank you!
One question not really related to the video. Im a current black belt in Hapkido, TKD, and Shitoryu but also used to compete in powerlifting. Problem is finding gi bottoms that actually let me throw kicks without restriction because my legs are thick. I purchased a traditional Aikido Hakama but it is a nightmare to put on with all the straps and tends to get lose during training. What baggy gi bottoms are you guys wearing and where can I purchase them plz? ty
Hello sir! I messaged you back, let me know if you have any other questions.
@@DrNikolaiLee ty sir! I contacted them via email and waiting on reply. ty for the help
Sounds like a bit of Aikido. Real cool.
Thanks! They have the same origin :) daito Ryu :)
I trained in Korea if you could recommend a good kwoon in Seattle I would really appreciate that.
Hey there! I’m actually not familiar with the Seattle area. Best of luck!
I need to find a good instructor like when I move. You remind me of my old tae Kwon do master.
Where are you moving to?
This really looks like it would be an amazing compliment to Taekwondo 🙏
Thanks!
Very similar TP siku and Yuishinkai i see Physio logo as The limitationof The Human body
Thanks sir
Absolutely!!
Amazing
Thank you!
Bell bottoms? Short sleeves? Nice aikijutsu! With Korean name = Hapkido, I would suggest that not only “go with” but also “add to”. Yes good concept understanding of harmony, circle, and water. For a young fella you are pretty good, lol great video young man! Good falling by your partner! Nice air fall with your wrist out turn throw. Oh who was/is your instructor! I’m with Moo Sul Kwan. Park, Lee Hyun was our Korean grand master , he came over to the USA in 1965 or so and taught taekwondo, Hapkido, and Judo. Actually, as you know, Hapkido is taekwondo and judo plus more, we just use the sports of taekwondo and judo for good “safe” combat experience.
Hello sir and thank you for your kind words! My Grandmaster is Jimmie Faralli with the American Hapkido Alliance. Our school was created as a descent of my grand father, Grandmaster Jimmie Brown who studied under Master Yang Chan Byun and later under In Sun Seo of the World Kido Association. Both my father and grandfather were Army Special Forces and created our association following pressures from multiple Korean associations demanding financial compensation. Therefore we are a stand alone association and not part of any Korean association. As a Hapkido practitioner, I hope you can understand that these are break down concepts and not comprehensive of the art. :) it’s interesting that you noticed the uniforms. I’ve thought for years about the irony that we often associate certain types of uniforms with certain arts. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video! Have a wonderful day:)
That’s a good backstory. Not many folks can say any of that.
Nice
Thank you!
Aloha from Hawai’i 😎🤙
Aloha!! How y’all doin (Florida 😉)

@@OLOHEKAI very cool! I’ll have to check it out if I’m ever there!
???? black uniform left sleeve Hyena and Nikolai's sleeve has Komodo written on it . What is that for ?
Great eye!! It’s a cultural aspect found in our school. Senior masters assign a fitting “spirit guide” to students after watching how they fight. We typically know by blue belt, the 3rd rank in our system. Basically those animals represent how a fighter uses their techniques. Each student is different and is awarded the animal by the Grandmaster. It’s a little different than a lot of schools, but is a tradition within our school that we enjoy. :) thanks for watching!
This is interesting I do judo and it's a push-pull and get out of the way game, so if you can throw him like this and for one thing even make it work I'm thinking he is helping you by not resisting, and if you can throw him without breaking his wrist well okay it sure looks like your doing something hmm.
Thank you for your reply! My goal in this video was not to demonstrate a self defense technique or fighting. Just like in Judo, hapkido has many principles of movement that are often overlooked and under taught in many schools. Traditional judo has no striking and is based solely on the opponent having the ability to resist. Having said that, Judokas are masters at utilizing leverage and resistance against the opponent. We have many Judo players in our school, such as Mr. Rodriguez in this video, that help me develop personally. In Hapkido, just like Judo, there is an art to falling as well. For us, it is one of the foundations of learning because is it useful in many circumstances, even outside of the martial arts. It takes many years of training to take a massive amount of impact and not be injured, which I'm sure you have taken your fair share! If this technique was ever utilized on a non-martial artist they ending result would be much more brutal as the person receiving the technique would not have the experience and knowledge to mitigate injury. To your point of the video, Mr. Rodriguez is going with the technique, albeit for two reasons. One is to help me demonstrate the principal and two to mitigate injury. I can comment as a chiropractor that resistance will eventually result in injury. It may be at the point of impact or years later down the road. There is a healthy amount of challenging the technique while preventing injury so you can enjoy a lifetime of practice and not a short career. I have seen many "tough guys" who are "masters" and cannot take falls anymore due to resisting everything. I say this while also respecting that your sport is solely based on resistance and that is the way you must train. At the end of the day, my goal is to make you think and you have done so. :) Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and comment. I always enjoy great discussion, especially from other styles! Iron sharpens iron. Stay well and stay strong!
@@DrNikolaiLee well okay I'm mostly in it for self defense and the juijitsu game us the most effective discipline for self defense that I've trained and throwing from or with the wrist maybe it'snot exactly practical but it fascinates me as Judo and jujitsu maybe mixed with hapkido anyway as I said I'm in it for self defense I'm hoping I will find a instructor who knows how to make it work, I have also seen 1 or 2 guys who were taught differently and I loved what I saw because it was more effective than what I'm doing anyway keep it up !
@@fitepitsnbonfires That is awesome that you have found your path! Most of us train with a different path it seems. Back when I started it was about fighting for me and defending myself and others. Now it has translated into a self discipline more and more. I am quite confident (humbly) in my skills so I train to develop myself and help train others. Respectfully its very interesting to see BJJ being taught as a self defense art as it was not developed as such, but like all arts it changes and modifies over time. Im sure, with time, your personal training and development will change over time. One interesting aspect I have found is that it is a very American thing to cross train in arts, possibly due to the population looking for different things. In many countries throughout the world a person typically studies and truly masters an art, rather than mixing. I find nothing wrong with it, just find the differences fascinating. Thanks for the kind words and best of luck on your journey! If you are interested, please check out my other videos as well. Have a blessed day!
Judo has same principles, from aikijutsu come jujitsu, aikido, judo, karate, and Hapkido (Korean name for aikijutsu bright top Korean by a slave taken by the Japanese during the Japanese occupation abs oppression of Korea during ww2,) of the Japanese had not been finally defeated there would not be a Korea, the Japanese attempted to dominate the East and eliminate all other cultures, the ultimate of racist genocide
@@kennethrogers1129 okay.
You’re hanging the US flag wrong. The Union (stars) always go on the left.
Hello there! You're eye for detail is great. We actually noticed this after the video was fully produced and have corrected it since. Have a great day! Thanks for watching.
Nice move
Thank you
I'm a 2nt dan debuity hubakido black belt
That’s great!
Hapkido = Half Aikido
they do have a common lineage from daito Ryu aikijutsu ;)
Never work in a real fight. You never seen this kind of moves in the cage or ring because it doesn't work in a real fight.
Although I respectfully disagree with you, I appreciate your opinion. :) best of luck to your future training!
@@DrNikolaiLee can you show one video where someone caught a punch and did a wrist lock or threw the attacker in a real fight or ring or cage. It only works with a submissive opponent
@@DangerousWaterMMA in my humble opinion, cage fighting and mma style fighting is also not 100% realistic. They are truly amazing athletes and train hard for sure. But the fight is in a controlled environment, one on one with rules. This just isn’t reality. I don’t mean to disrespect the sport at all, but I think you and I are measuring effectiveness very differently. This video is a break down of the principles in hapkido. But, just so we are on the same page.. “real” fighting is on the street, unexpected, without rules. For me, there will be a knife involved more than likely. I would encourage you to consider your mindset on the cage or ring being a real fight. You also don’t know my background or the things I have done/ been through. It may be best not to question validity to subjects you are not privy to, nor, respectfully, will you be.
Your comment also tells me you don’t truly have a understanding of what hapkido is/does. I can assure you videos will never teach you and the only way to learn is hands on. You are correct that the opponent will need to be in a submissive state. This tends to happen after they have been palmed in the nose, kicked in the groin, or stabbed. Just to educate, the falling you see happening is called nak sul. It’s important for the person being thrown to know how to safely fall. On the street I don’t care how they fall. Because of this training, we can train well into our senior years, something I’ve yet to see happen in mma.
Personally, I don’t really care what someone else claims to be effective. My training is for me and not another’s opinion.
To put it simply, I will be happy to have a healthy discussion so that all of martial artists can improve. If you’re looking for a keyboard warrior fight, I’m not your guy. I just simply don’t have time for it. Best of luck to your future. I hope you are personally training on the mat and continue to improve. Have a blessed day.
@@DrNikolaiLee I asked you a simple question can you show me a video where someone caught a punch and did a wrist lock or threw the person in a real fight or in a ring or cage . Give me proof that what you teach works that's all I'm asking.
I would also like to see one just one video of catching a punch and throwing with resistance, like in sparring, mma, a street fight, anything.
