White Tiger Jung Moo Kwan Hapkido
When Hapkido was first introduced to White Tiger
JMK, it was interwoven into the instruction of
Taekwondo. However since becoming a member of
the USNTF, White Tiger now follows the curriculum
set forth by the World Traditional Hapkido Alliance.
Now we are able to not only bring the curriculum to the
dojang, but we are able to advance by belt ranking
because of this. White Tiger's Hapkido program
started in 2000 and has continually strives to become
not only effective in tournaments, but in life. Here is
some information that White Tiger uses in the
Hapkido Program.
Hapkido Means:
Hap Ki Do
Harmony
|
Energy
|
The Path, or Art
|
|
Justice
|
Obligation
|
Courage
|

The Change up: The change-up is basically
reading your opponent. The opponent "dictates"
what is done to him. By reading the opponents
body movement, one is able to effectively take
control of the situation and properly execute a
take down. The one is able to control the subject
on the ground with a controlled lock or
submission hold.
"To be a true Martial Artist and study
Hapkido you must have heart. Martial
Artists draw power from their ki energy."
Transitions: The transition is what
happens in between when your moving
from one technique to the other.
Transitions should be smooth without
losing control over your opponent's body
part in which you have control over.
Transitions should be completed without
giving up power, strength, or speed.
Class Activities
Hapkido Class emphasises on powerful kicks. Basic kicks are an essential part of the class as well as elbows, backfists and other strong damaging techniques.
Hapkido Class consists of how to fall without damaging your body. White Tiger also teaches its students how to escape from basic grabs.
Hapkido Class teaches the Classic Poomses of Taekwondo. This is basically trying to go back to our Jung Moo Kwan roots.
Hapkido Class consists of learning 5 techniques per each obtainable rank. Also included in this section is using the 5 techniques in the change up.
Hapkido Class introduces a new form of Self-Defense called the Ho Shin Sul Sequence. Within the sequence is Rapid Assault Techniques (RATS), then by using any attack for each of the 5 techniques. Included in the sequence is a basic introduction to guard techniques.
Lastly we spar in class using another style called mokan, once again going back to our Jung Moo Kwan roots.

White Tiger Jung Moo Kwan
Koryo Gumdo
White Tiger Jung Moo Kwan Koryo Gumdo may just be the first in Kansas. White Tiger JMK KG was started in
2000. The style is the newest in the White Tiger family. The program has the privilege of being supervised by
Master J.P. Wood of J.P. Wood Martial Arts. The program is also a part of the World Koryo Gumdo Association.
Not only do we study the mental philosophy of the Hwarang, but we also study the philosophy of the Japanese
Samurai and compare the differences and the similarities of their life styles.
Koryo Gumdo's earliest recognition is around 300 B.C. The dominating philosophy at the time was the
Taoist Philosophy.
