The 4th seminar in the "Art Of" Hapkido BBC Seminar series was run on Saturday - The Art of Weaponry.
Most students were armed with their own Dan Bong for the event, and all were only too pleased to learn many techniques using this Hapkido weapon.
Grandmaster Geoff explained to us the modifications he has made to the traditional Dan Bong.
Grandmaster Geoff's enhancements to the Dan Bong are renowned all around the world!
The techniques we learnt using the Dan Bong included how to enhance syllabus techniques, cord techniques, chokes, blocking techniques and striking techniques. Pressure points using the Dan Bong were also a big favourite.
We also learnt how to use the Cane, including chokes, strikes, blocks and throws!
Other weapons demonstrated included the sword, fan and chux and we all had the pleasure of seeing Grandmaster Geoff do Japanese and Korean sword forms!
It was great to see the number of white, orange and yellow belts who attended, and the large number of students as a whole!
A lot of fun (and pain) was had by everyone in attendance, and we're all looking forward to the next seminar in the 2009 "Art Of" BBC series!
