Hak So Ken: Personal training Record ５

[@Exploringinuk]

I’m happy and impressed seeing you breaking down your technique and going through it in slow motion

[@exelatete]

“Thank you so much! I’m glad you appreciated the breakdown and slow-motion details. I always want to make each part of the technique clear so it’s easier to learn and improve. It means a lot that you noticed and enjoyed it! God bless your practice journey-keep up the great work! 🙏💪😊”

My old trainer in marbo also used to tell me to slow down and learn the technique first as speed and power will follow

[@exelatete]

Thank you for sharing that memory! Your older trainer was wise-slowing down truly lets us understand the essence of each movement. Once we grasp the technique, speed and power follow naturally, just as you said. I’m grateful to have the chance to pass on a similar approach in my videos. May God bless you in your training journey!”

Where in the world are you based?

[@exelatete]

“Thank you for asking! I’m based in Japan, where I train and teach martial arts. The fragrance of osmanthus is especially beautiful here. It brings back wonderful memories from the past and gives hope for the future. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!”

Ok here are my questions: 1) How old are you and what do you do for a living ? 2) What does hak so ken mean ? And what language is it ? Japanese or Chinese ? 3) The description says its a mix of shaolin kung fu and christianity, if its shaolin kung fu, where did you learn these moves ? Did you actually go to the shaolin temple ? 4) What brought about this idea of combining kung fu and christianity ? 5) Many christians believe eastern martial arts like shaolin kung fu that have some mysticism to them and is not suitable for christians to practise and that even practising combat arts may be unbiblical, what's your response to this ? 6) Do you know of any other christians that are heavily into martial arts ? For eg, Giga Ovgod, have you seen his videos ? 7) Is Hak so ken a martial art that you made by yourself ? Can it be considered an original art that's taken inspiration from shaolin kung fu or is it just shaolin kung fu but the budhism is replaced with christianity ? 8) How many students do you have and where are you teaching people this art ? 9) Have you learnt the entirety of shaolin kung fu ? Do you know healing methods like accupunture, qi gong etc ? 10) Have you ever fought in tournaments or actually been in fights in real life ? 11) There's a picture of 2 dragons near the word hak so ken in the intro of your videos. In the bible, satan is sometimes refered to as the dragon, if this is a martial art based on christianity then how do you sell this to christians ? There's even a course called the "dragon course" 12) How long have you been practising this art and what are your plans for this art in future ? 13) Is it compulsory for a person to be a christian to learn this art from you or even say the prayers before training ?
