Facing the establishment of the KHF world organization..
My name is Sung Book Bae, the director of the KHF. We, the KHF, are preparing the establishment of a world organization as a planned project in order to promote Hapkido more systematically, which is already introduced and practiced by many people all over the world. For last half century, Hapkido is introduced and developed proudly in the arena of world martial arts only by our senior masters without any support or help from the Korean government unlike Taekwondo. The share to succeed and develop Hapkido one dimension higher making it as the world best martial art is left before us now. The KHF admits that there were not enough supports for many masters working abroad, and because of special aspects of being abroad, the lacking of the KHF power caused lots of chaos and troubles. But, with this as a momentum, the KHF will do our best to support our masters working overseas, and try to stop all the acts and organizations using the name of the KHF without permission, as the KHF has never authorized any acts and organizations officially till now except Master Kwan-Young Lee as the representative of France and Master Bum Kim as that of the nothern England. As one of these procedures, the KHF is gathering information about Hapkido people acting major countries or cities all over the world. And with these information, the KHF select people as regional representatives regardless their nationalities, sex and colors by this September. With them, the KHF will do everything positively for Hapkido development. The KHF has the plan to hold the establishment ceremony of the KHF world organization with the presence of all the regional representatives on the 6th of this December in Seoul, Korea. Thank you. * Any inquiry or requirement is welcome to Mr. Sung Book Bae, the director of the KHF. Tel: 82-2-3437-3530, Cell: 82-11-258-7106, Email:
