Combat Hapkido:Controversy edit
In 2003 Pellegrini issued a number of controversial statements condemning martial arts such as kung fu and tai kwon do as outdated. In his opening statement for the 2003 issue of Black Belt, he said to "Forget the fancy high kicks, lose the forms and stop wasting time with healing, meditation and breathing exercises or outdated weapons training."[2]
The reason people started training in martial arts was to defend against brutal and barbaric enemies, but in the past few decades the arts in general have become playground stuff. Winning trophies at tournaments, becoming proficient with ancient weapons you’ll never be attacked with, and doing dance and gymnastics moves is not going to save your life.
