It has been said that Bruce Lee had admired Hapkido enough after one of his movies that He atually had added Hapkido to his arsenal.. I have gone back and watched several of his movies to see if I could tell when he was using hapkido and I think you can tell in a few screens but i may be getting some of his gung fu trapping mixed up with Hapkido trapping...I wonder how much Hapkido Bruce Lee actually took in and added to his Jeet Kune Do, because it doesnt mention any of it in his lineage..

Jason Landaas replied to Kris McCullar's discussion the Hardest parts of Hapkido???"If I was in a competition then I would agree taking the boxer to the ground if you have superior grappling skills would be a valid strategy. However, if I was in the street intentionally going to the ground might prove to be less than wise. There…"

Bob Elic replied to Kris McCullar's discussion the Hardest parts of Hapkido???"Well in hapkido we use all that we have. that means use the proper stance, open or closed. Trapping is the best option. This is similar to jeet kun do. But the key is to be smooth.

Kris McCullar replied to Kevin Sogor's discussion The kick or not the kick...is it Hapkido?"Heres my feelings on kicks in hkd, It is an eclectic art witch means that it will take anything in to the art and make it its own just to better the fighters attack and defence, It is better to have been shown a technique of advanced…"
Kris McCullar replied to Wael's discussion Post Black Belt Blues?"Yup and here's why,
Most martial arts only have so many techniques, and most are learned by the time they achieve black belt and then its only "fine tuning" past that, so the loss of motivation is becasue of the feeling that nothing…"

Kevin Sogor replied to Kris McCullar's discussion the Hardest parts of Hapkido???"This is going to sound sarcastic, but why are you the fighters range in the first place? Anyone that even squares up to fight means you were not observant enough to get out of the range, or just leave altogether.

- Happy birthday Kris. It's a real pleasure to have you on this website. May the coming year bring you continued success and joy.

- So I just checked. The most basic is only $4.99. Standard is $9.99 and the premium like I got is $19.97. They all have a one month free trial. I think the one you would be interested in would be the standard. That would give you up to 5 pages, 100 mb of disk space, 10gb bandwidth, and more for $9.99

- I pay for the premium service. You can get it for less. What I pay for gives me an email address through them, and their premium web site. You can get it for less.

- You want decent and easy then do what I did.
I actually use vista print. I am mediocre when it comes to computer stuff
But with just a little bit of time it was fairly easy. I pay 20 a month for a decent site.
For a one time fee of like ten bucks you can have them remove any vista print
Logos and it is easy to purchase the domain name as well
