Here's hapkido grandmaster Ing-Sik Whang in action. He may be old (born 1940), but he sure can move!He's considered one of the true legends of martial arts, and has participated in movies such as Game of Death with Bruce Lee.
Grandmaster Whang has his school located in Canada.
In this clip you will see the resemblance between Korean hapkido and arts such as (Japanese) aikido and jujutsu.
The only downside is that the attacks (punches) are pulled - they would never hit the target. To me this is a major flaw in many demo clips, videos and exhibitions.
You can watch the clip here (flv file, 16.14 MB).
Download the free flv player here if you don't have it installed already. Flv is a flash format which produces smaller files, often used for streaming video. A similar quality clip in other formats, such as wmv, mpg or avi would easily be twice the size.
