Covertext

The essence of a martial art is competition. The spirit and skill of competition is the foundation of our successful daily lives in society in which we are often confronted by aggresson. Thus we see the essence of martial arts is to cope with these situations. Since any martial art is a means of seif-defense against an aggressor and further, a defense agairnt injustice, the competition of martial arts should thus be accompained with spiritual refinement and a sense of patience.
The Philosophy of Hapkido is Righte ness (Jong Euye), Courtesy(Yca Euye), Patience(Ien Nae).
