Language corner!

How to greet your Instructor and the class.

When we enter the dojang, we call out "annyeonghaseyo!" (ahn-young-ha-say-yo), and bow.

In Hangul (Korean writing), it's written as 안녕하세요.

This is a polite greeting, used to show respect to the dojang and acknowledge the Instructor and the students already inside.

See you in class tonight!

What is Hapkido?

Answer: it can be many things, for example it is simple and effective control over a larger opponent.

What were those finer details in that technique? Having notes helps your remember those finer details.

What is Hapkido? It is power. It is control. It is co-ordination. It is confidence. It is repect. It is community. Hapkido is the greatest self-defense for the modern world.
