"Way of Coordinating
Power" The art of Hap Ki Do, emphasizes timing, precision and understanding of human anatomy. These short range controlling techniques are an integral part of many martial arts styles throughout the world. In Jung Sim Do we also practice these important controlling techniques. Although Hap Ki Do actions differ in techniques, the general principles are the same, and it is the understanding of these general principles that truly make these techniques powerful. If you adhere to these ideas and continue to think and learn about the techniques then your Hap Ki Do will continue to grow and improve, but if you only repeat the actions like a robot without thought or understanding then your Hap Ki Do will never truly be a part of you. In reality when attempting to apply Hap Ki Do techniques everyone responds differently, depending upon size and strength differences. A good understanding will allow the practitioner to adjust accordingly. Hap Ki Do is an art that de-emphasizes the size difference and gives the advantage to the practitioner with the better understanding, through usage of physics, pressure points and natural limitations of the human body. Hap Ki Do is a good way to show mercy, it provides the option of controlling the opponent rather than hurting them. In Jung Sim Do with the advancement of each belt the student is expected to learn five new Hap Ki Do actions and it is hoped that with advancement of the belts and the accumulated pool of knowledge, these general principles of Hap Ki Do will become a part of every student. In studying Hap Ki Do it is more important for the student to understand the actions than it is for them to memorize them. Just like the training in fighting techniques, we hope that eventually the techniques will become reflexive and the students will respond to situations without hesitation. In addition, in the higher level Hap Ki Do, throws are often incorporated as part of Hap Ki Do actions. When we practice Hap Ki Do, a Tae Kwon Do counter is often added as a finishing technique. This is done to prepare the students for worst case scenarios. "Ai-ki
cannot be exhausted"
