Hankido is a relatively new hapkido style,
developed by the late Myung Jae Nam. Myung Jae Nam studied traditional
hapkido which formed the basis of this new art. Myung Jae Nam started the
development of what we now know as hankido in the 1980s. This new hapkido
style can be recognized by its elegant, circular movements which the hankido
practitioner uses to get in control of his or her opponent. Of course this
is partly because hankido has its roots partly in hapkido, but also because
Myung Jae Nam, who was a talented dancer, mixed the techniques with
traditional Korean dance. |

Bub (무예도법).
Hankido was first officially introduced during the 1st International H.K.D
Games in Seoul, South-Korea. The development of hankido did not stop there,
and in the years after its introduction hankido lost some of its rough
edges.

Hankido consists of twelve basic self-defense techniques (ho shin ki, 호신기)
which are connected to 24 breathing techniques: twelve for the defender
called 'Techniques of the Sky' (Chun Ki Bub, 천기법, 天氣法) and twelve techniques
for the attacker called 'Techniques of the Earth' (Ji Ki Bub, 지기법, 地氣法).
Heaven and Earth are each others opposites and thus resemble the Chinese Um
(Yin) and Yang.
