Hankido introduction
From green to purple belt you learn the first ten hankido selfdefense exercises (hosindobeop, 호신도법) out of a series of twelve. In this lesson we will introduce hankido. Each selfdefense exercise has it’s own lesson.
We first learn all twelve techniques versus a cross wrist grab. Later you learn how to apply these techniques against other attacks.
The names of the twelve hosindobeop are:
- Gwanjeolgibeop (관절기법)
- Chigibeop (치기법)
- Sipjagibeop (십자기법)
- Naeoegibeop (내외기법)
- Gyeoranggibeop (겨랑기법)
- Mokgamabeop (목감아법)
- Mokkkeokkgibeop (목꺾기법)
- Eokkaetubeop (어깨투법)
- Jungpaltubeop (중팔투법)
- Hoejeontubeop (회전투법)
- Palmokgibeop (팔목기법)
- Palbaegibeop (팔배기법)
To convert the Korean names from hangul to abc we used the official Reversed Romanized of Korean method of the South-Korean government. This makes names sometimes a bit hard to read. For clarity we will also give the names with a dash (-) between the syllables in each lesson when we explain the meaning of the name.
Hangul isn’t very hard to learn. There are many great online resources that give you a basic understanding of the Korean writing system relatively quick.
