| hapkido | skaga-snúđvígi (a Korean form of unarmed self-defense based on the circular foot sweeps and kicks of traditional Korean taekwondo but incorporating punches and circular throws and a yielding principle similar to that of aikido. The emphasis on circular motion allows for a free-flowing form of combat in which one technique can merge with the next and the direction of force can easily be changed by changing the axis of rotation. It is obvious that hapkido is more ‘vígi’ than ‘glíma’. Still it is related to aikido and has the characteristic circular motions: snúđvígi) |
