PRINCIPLES

• CIRCLE PRINCIPLE
  By use of circular movement a Hapkido practitioner can redirect
  and reuse energy supplied with minimal effort and maximum efficiency.
• WATER PRINCIPLE
  The properties of water are analogous to most martial arts
  and are often quoted to the point of cliche. Water adapts to any surface or container,
  can be hard when directed with energy like a river, or soft like trying cup water in a hand.
• MIND PRINCIPLE (or Influence)
  The mind is the greatest asset of a Hapkido practitioner.
  By utilising the focus of the conscious mind and the reflex action of the sub-conscious
  mind a Hapkido practitioner can overcome larger more powerful opponents by application
  of appropriate technique and mental influence.
