Weirs Dojang

It comes with a very heavy heart to announce that Weir's Dojang will be closed until further notice.

I have a torn rotor cuff and will be undergoing surgery to repair it.

Thank you all

HAPKI!

The Water Principle

The water principle has many meanings. First, look how water flows easily downhill when it comes to an obstacle like rock it flows around it. From this we see not to waste time and energy pushing against the rock but to simply flow around it. Second, when you put water into a container it does not matter what shape the container is, the water simply takes the shape of the container. Like water let Hapkido fit any situation. Third when water freezes it becomes hard like stone. When water heats up it disappears (evaporates) only to return later (as rain.) The Hapkido practitioner must be able to change states like water. If you meet a strong attack flow around it and redirect its strength or at times almost disappear and reappear as you adjust and change the situation. Fourth, water always flows down; always flow your spirit down and help others grow. As you learn more and gain more confidence, do not hesitate to come down and help those who need it. Never forget your roots and your foundation. As you obtain more strength then gain greater humility.

PERFECT

People will say Practice makes Perfect and that is not true.

I like Perfect Practice makes Perfect better but that still isn't quite right.

Perfect is next to impossible to achieve if Perfect really exists.

PRACTICE FOR PROGRESS

That you can achieve every step of the way.
