Hap Ki Do Definition
Hap:	Coordination and Harmony.
Ki:	Mental Energy or Spirit
Do:	Method, way, or mind-set
Hap Ki Do, originated during the Silla Dynasty (57 B.C. to 600 A.D.) It is a discipline of coordination, a way of strengthening the mind and body, of fusing the individuals physical and mental powers so that he or she will emerge as a more fully integrated human being. The word (Hap Ki Do) in fact means: Method or way for the coordination harmony of mental energy or spirit. One should always try to avoid violence, but if someone grabs you, attempts to strike you, or physically assault you in any way, it has escalated beyond words, and you are left with only one option, which is to defend. The Korean art of Self Defense, Hap Ki Do is considered a "soft" Style in the Martial Arts, as opposed to "hard" styles that practice the use of force against force. Hap Ki Do diverts or suppresses an attacker's flow of energy peacefully, this diversion allows him to use the attackers power against himself leading to the attackers defeat. Through the use of pressure on certain skeletal joints and pressure points, very little strength is needed to overcome an opponent. Hap Ki Do not only redirects the attack, but turns it back against the attacker and follows through with offensive techniques which may control his violence or render him incapable of further antagonistic actions. Hap Ki Do provides complete physical conditioning, which improves balance, posture, flexibility, timing, quickness, muscle tone, joint strength and most importantly, confidence through physical and mental discipline. The immediate aim of Hap Ki Do is of course the welfare of the one practicing it. Not only will skills in self-defense be attained, but also more importantly will be the focus on an individual’s character development. A well-rounded personality can be realized only if the spirit is right. Courtesy, Respect, Modesty, Loyalty, Generosity, and Dedication are not only the source, but also the rewards of Hap Ki Do.
