What is Combat Hapkido? Combat Hapkido is a martial art which was created by Grand Master John Pellegrini and is a a realistic approach to self defense in which one uses a combination of joint locks, strikes, pressure points, kicks (limited), to disable an attacker effectively. It does away with fancy moves and forms and concentrates on the most practical applications needed for self defense. Most people are too busy to concern themselves with heavy physical conditioning.
Combat Hapkido (known in Korean as Chon-Tu Kwan Hapkido 전투관 합기도) is an eclectic modern Hapkido system founded by John Pellegrini in 1990. Taking the next step in 1992 Pellegrini formed the International Combat Hapkido Federation (ICHF) as the official governing body of Combat Hapkido. Later, in 1999, the ICHF was recognized by the Korea Kido Association and the World Kido Federation, collectively known as the Kido Hae, as the Hapkido style Chon Tu Kwan Hapkido.[2]The World
Kido Federation is recognized by the Korean Government as an organization that serves as a link between the official Martial Arts governing body of Korea and the rest of the world Martial Arts community.[3] The founder of Combat Hapkido was very
clear in his statement that he did not invent a new martial art. He stated "I have
merely structured a new Self-Defense system based upon sound scientific principles and modern concepts. For this reason Combat Hapkido is also referred to as the "Science of Self-Defense." Combat Hapkido is a new interpretation and application of a selected body of Hapkido techniques.[4] The word "Combat" was added to Combat
Hapkido to distinguish this system from Traditional Hapkido styles and to identify its focus as Self-Defense.[5]
The style employs joint locks, pressure points, throws, hand strikes, and low-lying kicks, and trains practitioners to either counter or preemptively strike an imminent attack to defend one's self. In common with many Hapkido styles, it also emphasizes small circular motion, non-resisting movements, and control of an opponent through force redirection and varied movement and practitioners seek to gain advantage through footwork, distractive striking and body positioning to employ leverage.
