Universal Standards

Welcome to the Universal Standards area of the Midwest Hapkido Website.

The categories posted here are a considered standard by which people who have come to find themselves practicing Hapkido without benefit of a recognized structure, can garner some sense of where they are in teh Hapkido community relative to the largest recognized traditions in the community. What I would ask you not to do is to take information from here and use this as some validation to your own place in the community. Such standing can only be gathered from a teacher whose practices reflect a particular approach to Korean traditions. The Purpose and Intention of Midwest Hapkido is to provide as much information to folks as possible and to provide a common area to compare information back and forth. Hopefully this will strengthen our Hapkido community and bring us more closely together.
