He stated “I have merely structured a new Self-Defense system based upon sound scientific principles and modern concepts.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_HapkidoFor this reason Combat Hapkido is also referred to as the “Science of Self-Defense.” Combat Hapkido is a new interpretation and application of a selected body of Hapkido techniques.
