           Principles of Hapkido

          Have you had the experience of having a song, or a phrase or a jingle cycle and recycle through you head? Sometimes it can be the most innocuous little ditty but it seems as though there is no way of getting it out of your mind. Hapkido has three themes that touch every technique that make up it’s curriculum. It is through these themes that Hapkido, literally “the way of coordinated power” accomplishes it’s purpose of manipulating energy, vectors and leverage to safeguard ones’ Dynamic Sphere.  Like that little ditty you can’t seem to lose, these three themes need to be with you anytime you engage in Hapkido, on or off the mat.
