Hapkido School Yong

Hapkido Yong is a school where several styles of Hapkido are taught. These are the gentle Hapkido style Myung Hapkido and the hard styles of Sin Moo Hapkido according to Dojunim Ji Han-Jae and the Kwan Nyom style of Master Booth. The knowledge of the coaches in the field of Kyusho Jitsu according to Theo de Gelaen (martial art where acupuncture points are used), Tae-kwondo, Qi-gong and other effective techniques is also used during the training. The emphasis lies not particularly on spectacular shows with high jumps and kicks, (of which the effectiveness for self-defense is small) but to make the art of self-defense so effectively possible.

In the future Hapkido "Yong" ambitions are to create a hapkido school of the highest level.
