(Korean Martial Arts) Gongkwon Black Belt Match 2005

[@smclavis]

I'm glad Hapkido is finally getting worldwide recognition. It is an awesome martial art and not a sport. HAP KI :)

[@masenka76]

I look forward to some new GKY uploads! (the ones from Seoul i mean) These vids are really nice to watch. Kamsahamnida! Ho shin!

[@pure.precision]

very good martial art, all the good strikes of tkd n karate + jujutsu ground fighting, looks to me that Gongkwon yusul is a complete MMA

[@WarriorBoy]

This is some decent stuff! I like it. Never heard of it before, but it would seem that these dudes actually have a pretty good ground game. They also seem to go pretty hard with the strikes. It's very cool to see them doing all this and not just a bunch of forms and rituals, etc.

[@naijaninjaa]

GREAT video, thank u very much :)

[@hadage30]

thank you for sharing very nice and helpful

[@teastley13]

@Heidenreich18 Hey mate, re the colored Gi's, Black is for all students, instructors are blue and the gym/dojang owner can wear the white. Belts are: white, yellow, green, blue, red, brown then black. no stripes on the belts like some tkd or hapkido schools. Its a fun art to learn. the sparring has a muay thai mixed with judo feel

[@JoshCather]

Good video. Were they not allowed to punch to the head?

[@miguelnonato9177]

Tecnicas bem apuradas, gostaria muito treinar esse estilo.

[@HICAROALEX91]

gostei das lutas so faltou os equipamentos de proteção dos menbros superiores!

[@ScreamingSamProduct]

Yeah Kick combos work "In practice" much harder to come off in actual fighting. Aside from that,the song was from Anberlin.

[@naijaninjaa]

love watchin u fightin

[@ScolopaxJJ]

@koguryo18 i didnt said china and japan didnt influenced korean martial arts. my point is that koreans have distinct styles that you can cleary classify as korean.

[@Kami5909]

You didn't watch the video before you made that comment, did you?

[@martial_matt]

Well, here's the thing. Hapkido was originally called YuSul or YuSool (depends on who you ask). YuSool is Korean for JuJutsu. So hapkido was often called korean jujutsu. BUT the funny thing here is that they call it Korean JIU-jitsu and not JUJUTSU. Not to mention they are wearing the classic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blue uniform that many wear. Because Hapkido is basically Aiki JUJUTSU transformed without Japanese customs.

[@ScreamingSamProduct]

Me too man. I am krav maga and TKD. Nice meeting ya.

[@Corw1n1]

Same thing I said. That don't make for easy falling or ground fighting. Pretty tough; I'm impressed at that.

[@jamesteowm]

Effective training! Cool Dudes

[@mangodealer]

here lemme clear it up. Jiujitsu, is an outdated form of judo btw.The takedowns evolved from ssireum, a kind of korean wrestling. The kick were from taekki which turned into tae kwon do. hapkido is combination of kicks from tae kwon do, and joint lock take downs and sserium style take downs. however, now modern hapkido like gongkwon yusul incorporate Jiujitsu with hapkido for more actual groundfighting technique. submissions actually existed in hapkido previously and not borrwed from jiujitsu.

[@martial_matt]

Its funny you mention the Korean Karate thing. I almost added that in but ran out text space in the comment box.

[@ScreamingSamProduct]

are those the martial arts you practice?

[@groundnpounder]

are they fighting on floor boards?

[@soggymoggytravels]

Head punches are only allowed in this gym if you're wearing head protectors.

[@RogerRabbit123]

can someone explain me, if the different colors of the Gi's have a meaning oder just a question of taste ? what belts are in this system? like judo?or like hapkido or TKD ?

[@mangodealer]

judo is the NEW form of jiu jitsu that's what I meant... Anyway, the guy who invented judo, kano, learned jiujitsu and his main inspiration was from jiujitsu in order to invent judo, and said himself that it was a refined form of jiujitsu.

[@mangodealer]

yeah i phrased that wrong i meant it the opposite way around as you said it, judo is from jijitsu, a more refined effective version. and I know what tkd means.. i'm second dan black belt

[@hedgehogs4424]

Very nice.

[@j124life]

seems pretty technical to me. These guys combine tkds with jujitsu grapples. All they really need is a bit of stand up stamina.

[@TheBmike1]

grate video i have been reading the comments and i know my stuff about aikido :) but know nothing about bjj hapkido or this korean jiu jitsu or traditional japanese jiujitsu but even i know judo comes from japanese jiujitsu what i would like to know, is was traditional jiujitsu used and come from the samurai not sure if i have spelled it right and this vid these fighter seem more graceful than mma bjj with a few exceptions of course

[@tickyul]

Impressive and hardcore too, full throws and no mat........yikers.

[@TKD344]

Superb!

[@2sexy4myshooz]

its called gongkwon well the grand master did Judo and Hapkido mostly

[@smclavis]

My instructor is 8th Dan Korea Hapkido Federation. I just spoke to him and ground fighting IS part of traditional Hapkido. So i wonder who I sould belive a master or you? Hmmmmm

[@ipoful]

this is professional martial arts

[@uniqueboi428]

Cool... looks even nicer than taekwondo

[@larbet]

Looks more like Judo with submission techniques. Doesn't look like Hapkido at all to me, maybe some of the kicks that's about it. That being said you can exactly use Hapkido in competition unless you want break someones arm off or split their head open with a throw.

[@alessiopelusocoach]

Nice video Europe Hapkido Organization

[@ScreamingSamProduct]

Your Website doens't work.

[@plaedien]

@elbowtko it is very similar to Pankration

[@Ronin_MMA_88]

This is more commonly reffered to as Korean MMA. It utilizes what the master of this style is known for: Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Jui Jitsu, and Hapkido. He put all these things together and called it Gong Kwon Yu Sul. He doesn't make up some BS lineage but just teaches combat and self defense the way he see's fit. It's called KOREAN because it was founded by a Korean. Kind of like American Tae Kwon Do Federation. It would be pointless to call it KTF if it was founded by an American, huh?

[@ScreamingSamProduct]

Actually Krav Maga is really good for street fighting, we don't fight fair.

[@plaedien]

@henryetta612 why would this be giving Hapkido a bad name? It actually has very little to do with Hapkido. If anything it is more closely likened to a Korean version of MMA, although japanese Jiu Jitsu, Judo and Korean kickboxing are arguably its main influences. There are elements of Hapkido later in the syllabus (joint locks for example), but the general focus is on the 'flow' of the combat - ranged attacks, into close distance/grappling and then to ground work.

[@1banryukyu]

@HermesDo Sir, thank you for your reply. Please see your KZbin web page for my reply, it was a little too long to put here. And good luck in you training of the arts. Osu

[@elbowtko]

looks like Pankration but with a full on Gi, and more stoppage after strikes

[@initdialog]

looks like kickboxing and judo mix. actually a good idea. but there is no korean ju jutsu, since it's a japanese word.

[@GabrielFord]

oh wow...

[@yodel2002]

My man I'm going to pretend that you didn't say jiujutsu was invented in brazil by the gracies. The gracies learned jiujutsu from a a japanese master of jiujutsu. This form of classical japanese jiujutsu was later modified by helio gracie into present day BJJ. Judo on the otherhand, is a derivavtive of classical japanese jiujutsu and is completely different from BJJ. You really shouldn't comment anymore on martial arts unless you know something on the subject.

[@1banryukyu]

Would it be disrespectful to state that the morden Korean fighting arts are based on or heavily influenced by the Japanese fighting arts since Japan colonized what is today North and South Korea from 1910 until 1945. The Japanese replaced and or outlawed the original Korean fighting arts. Just my thoughts, oh thanks for the video clip.

[@rimidalvetarak]

I am not fond of this "copying" trend done by certain culture. At least, this video has the courage to actually mention "Korean Jiu-Jitsu" in the same manner of "Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu". This certain confirms that this art is NOT native to Korean. Otherwise, you would have no need to mention the word "Korean" in Korean Jiu-jitsu.

[@pure.precision]

what u said before doesnt really say that .. but u r right anyway

[@dirosaga]

then again, maybe mma should be called jeet kune do, since it ultimately stems from the originality of Bruce Lee's Jeet kune Do theory: abosrb what is usefull, reject what is useless, and make it your own.

[@shigeyasutanimoto8073]

Felicitaciones!! Admiro a estos practicantes de hapkido. Tienen buenas técnicas de suelo como los practicantes de BJJ. Pueden derribar con técnicas similares a las de Judo. Sólo me hubiera gustado ver un poco de técnicas de luxación propias del hapkido

[@missubeom]

not steal, mix & upgrade

[@dirosaga]

@dirosaga i meant kickboxing or boxing*

[@smclavis]

looks just like the hapkido i learn along with all the ground fighting. It all depends on the family of Hapkido it comes from. Do some more research before being sooooo cool.

[@phaze88]

looks like kyokushin and jiujitsu combine

[@rimidalvetarak]

I am not sure about "founded", perhaps more like "..... version". They don't say American boxing, they just say Boxing. They don't say Korean TKD, they just say TKD. only when it comes to America people start saying American TKD. When the name of country is given in the front of the name of the MA, usually it is caused by that MA is NOT native to that country. No Japanese Kendo.... just Kendo.

[@LysanderLH]

It is what it is.If you think it looks like other things that's you resorting to matching patterns and if you did that in combat, you'd be likely to lose.Find style in no style;Art in no art.

[@rimidalvetarak]

I am not really worried abut JUJUTSU vs JIU-JITSU thing. Even Japanese have different spelling and pronounciation for this eg: Aiki-Jutjsu or Aiki-JuJutsu or Aiki-JiuJitsu. Therefore I am a little bit "whatever" in this particular regards. Talking in more general term, at least this video actually says "Korean jiu-jitsu Hapkido". I see this in the same regards as when some people says "Korean Karate Taekwondo". This proves that this MA is NOT Korean by default.

[@pure.precision]

wtf that suppose 2 mean?!

[@dirosaga]

umm this is just mma. nice try though. :p it's only difference is that it is using traditional striking arts ofhter than westrn striking out (probably taekwando or karate instead of kickboxing or mma). it's just mma that subsitutes some martial arts that are usually unpopular in westrn mma entertainment. I don't think it's bad, only that you could call it korean style mma.

[@pure.precision]

thats true

[@ScreamingSamProduct]

And let me guess, Muay Thai is the best!?

[@ScreamingSamProduct]

I play on wood, I've gotten knocked out by one of those pretty combinations, watch my vid, "The Knockout"

[@Kami5909]

2:41

[@pure.precision]

thats it

[@BudWilson13]

some of the worst ground defense i've ever seen. they've clearly learned the offensive skills, but they need to work on the Defense a lot.

[@ScreamingSamProduct]

I've fought and been taken down on concrete floors. See my vids.

[@pure.precision]

hell no .. hapkido combined with BJJ

[@harnshotokan]

Can i call KJJ ?

[@fragilez]

korean mma?! o.0

[@henryetta612]

this is giving hapkido a bad name

[@thehunter413]

wooden floors :P
