KOREAN MARTIAL ARTS SOUTH EAST ASIA – PACIFIC
SYLLABUS REQUIREMENTS AS AT 01/01/2004
Tactical (Bladed and Impact) Weapons
he following is a basic guide that instructors and students alike should strive to follow. It represents the minimum knowledge of Korean HapKi HoSinSool that each respective grade should possess. The HSS taught is a condensed synthesis of KukSool HapKiDo and WTF TaeKwonDo and is to be promoted to individuals who only wish to have a practical knowledge of a martial style or viable self-defense, and not a complete martial art.
A period of 2 months regular training (x2 a week, 1.5 hour sessions) is recommended for each junior grade level before attempting to be assessed. Black belts normally wait between one to two years in grade before attempting promotion testing.
