International Hapkido Tamworth

International Hapkido Tamworth I teach and train in Hapkido. A dynamic Korean martial art. It is a most effective self-defence system. Ideal for both women and men. HAP KI DO.

"In Hapkido, one can acquire the basic senses at the age of 40. Who can claim to be a learner of Hapkido without experiencing the time and tide, and the sweet and bitter? To my fellow black belt holders, as a master who practiced Hapkido for 20 years and who is just about to know what Hapkido is, I will step into your shoes and can only be as humble as a two-year-old learning how to walk. As you j

ust acquired the requirement of learning the techniques of Hapkido, I hope that you become true followers of Martial Arts of diligence and perseverance, and modesty." This is a simple quote from Choi Dojunim, . Choi Dojunim often commented that one needs to be over 40 to understand the art. Before 40, he believed one used too much physical force and not the subtleties built into the techniques.

The Last Reel of the “Last Real”
A tribute to James Chambers, better known as Jimmy Cliff.
July 30, 1944 - November 24, 2025

Wow. The last time I laid eyes on Jimmy was when we, Three the Hard Way (Dennis Bovell, Brinsley Forde and I), opened up for him at the Roundhouse in London in 2018. He was electrifying as ever.

Jimmy Cliff became popular with songs like “I Can See Clearly Now,” “Reggae Night” and “You Can Get It If You Really Want.” But it was his songs of suppression and the political edge that he had that made me gravitate toward his energy. These were hits like “Vietnam,” “We All Are One,” “Struggling Man” and “The Harder They Come” that gave him his deserved respect among the greats.

One would believe that it was Bob Marley who took reggae to the four corners of the globe, but it was actually Jimmy who was first to have a major record deal with Island Records back in the late 60s. This was at a time when the label failed miserably in trying to push his music to a rock audience. Thank Jah that his greatness finally got recognised over the years when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, of all places, in 2010.

Nevertheless, what stands tallest among Jimmy Cliff’s six decades of unprecedented achievements is his role as “Ivan” in reggae’s first feature film, The Harder They Come. The movie portrayed the climate of skullduggery within the music industry at that time, and Jimmy played the character of a cheated recording artist to a T. I can honestly say that Jamaicans remember this film for Jimmy’s/Ivan’s final words before being killed: “Star guy can’t die ‘til the last reel.”

Thank you a thousandfold for the mark you have made in this industry, Jimmy. Your trailblazing efforts will never be forgotten. RIP, RIP.
