<<7th dan Master Kim Duc Soo ( who is now 8th dan Head of Bi-
Loong Flying Dragon Hapkido Federation in Adelaide),>>


I used to train at the Hapkido Bi-Loong Kwan in Uijongbu, Korea.
I never heard of the Bi-Loong Flying Dragon Hapkido Federation.

Bi-Loong Kwan was part of Saemaul Hapkido. Interesting training
methods of doing everything on right side only.

Reply to above:

Yes that's the one.
Bi Loong in Korean means Flying Dragon.
The instructors wear bright orange or all black dobok.
Do u see any difference in their style with other Hapkido schools.
What I've learnt is that their techniques emphasize swift straight forward
powerful strokes.I remembered nearly every trainee got some injury of some
kind when they train with Master Kim Duc Soo.Very tough master.
Kicks are strong and swift too,eg round house kick thru target instead of
cocking back the leg, as in Muay Thai.
Master Kim Duc Soo started his own organisation when he settled in Adelaide
,Australia.Hence reason u do not hear of it.
