HANMINJOK HAPKIDO CURRICULUM

Yea Bub – Law of Etiquette

In Martial Arts training, etiquette is arguably the most important and fundamental element. In training the martial artist must first know and control his body. Second, you must learn to regulate your breathing. Third, quiet the mind. Through practice and understanding of the mutual relationship of body, breath and mind, the practitioner begins martial arts training and knowledge of one's mind and spirit. This mental attitude must be above human relationships and cultivated through the practice of martial arts. Learning how to defend yourself is important in the martial arts, but etiquette, the manifestation of the mind itself, is much more important. Yea Bub is the essential foundation of martial artists. Without this there will be no difference between martial artists and street fighters.

Yes Bub - Law of Mind

The actions of the mind move the body. But the actions of the body can also move the mind. Sim Bub is the practice of harmonious development between mind and body and understanding how one influences the other. Through meditation, self-reflection, and martial arts practice (which are all elements of Sim Bub), we can overcome problems such as anxiety, nervousness, fear, arrogance, and hesitation. Sim Bub allows a person to free themselves from these limiting factors and develop a correct judgment, being able to make the right decisions, having patience, courage, wisdom and indomitable spirit. It teaches the ability to keep the mind harmonious under all difficult situations. Sim Bub allows martial artists to overcome their limitations and develop their full potential and demonstrate their true abilities. Most importantly, Sim Bub taught through martial arts should naturally be extended and applied to all other parts of life. Sim Bub unites martial arts with all other aspects of life.

 

Ki Bub - Law of Ki
Macroscopically, Ki is the source of life in the universe and microscopically, it is the source of human life. Ki training in martial arts involves absorbing the energy of the universe through breathing. The purpose of breathing in martial arts is not only to improve health but also to enrich martial arts skills. Ki Bub teaches martial artists the ability to develop Ki as well as radiating it to specific areas of the body. If Ki Bub is used in self-defense techniques, when kicking, striking, twisting, throwing or handling weapons, the effectiveness will improve dramatically. All martial artists must study Ki Bub. Without developing Ki, advanced levels of martial arts cannot be reached. Students learn breathing methods, ki development, ki focus, ki chae jo (ki exercises for health) and application of ki in training.

Shin Bub - Law of the Body
Following the principles of Um and Yang, Shin Bub is the correct use of the body in martial arts. For this it is necessary to incorporate to our knowledge the inherent concepts of physiology, biomechanics and physics. Shin Bub allows Ki to flow freely, developing physical fitness and enriching our martial skills. This teaches martial artists to unite body movement with technique, breathing, and Ki. In addition, it teaches the transfer of power, use of power, control and exchange of power. It is the coordination of the aforementioned factors that produce great skill.

Ahn Bub - Law of the Eyes
The eyes are used by all martial artists to see the opponent's movements. However, Ahn Bub develops this basic idea to a higher level. Vision is important, but also because of it we can perceive, feel, anticipate, nullify and attract an opponent. Ahn Bub teaches a person to look at the whole to perceive a part but also at the same time to see a part to perceive the whole. This is a crucial part of martial arts that should not be neglected.

Bo Bub - Law of Motion
This is one of the fundamental elements of martial arts training that requires the most attention. It teaches a person to flow freely from offense to defense and from defense to offense.
