Gregory Hiltz-Truskoski founded Hiltz Hapkido in 2013. He started training in
Hon Sang Mu Sa Hapkido under Art Mason in 2002 at The Peacefull Warriors
Martial Arts Institute. He was introduced to Kyusho Jitsu, the CANEMASTERSsystem and Kosho Shorei Ryu Kempo as Art Mason was exploring them and
incorporating them into his system. Having attending classes and seminars
from Mark Shuey, George Dillman, Steve Stewart and Buchan, Greg put a
stronger emphasise on training for combat effectiveness over sport. After
being exposed to Okinawan forms, Greg decided to drop the International
Taekwondo Federation (ITF) forms and practice the five Pinan Kata along with
Sanchin, Tensho and Suparinpei for the more practical applications. He joined
the Canadian Armed Forces in 2008 as an infantry man and was injured in
Afghanistan in 2010 resulting in a partial amputation of his left foot. He is still a
dedicated martial artist and a strong proponent of Qigong and hard body
conditioning.

The style practiced at Hiltz Hapkido is a variation of Hon Sang Mu Sa Hapkido.
Hapkido means, the way of harmonizing
energy. It is a Korean style that descended from
Daito Ryu Aiki Ju Jitsu. It is known for its vast
array of different strikes, kicks, joint manipulation,
pressure points and its signature weapon, thecane. Hapkido does not traditionally practice
patterns/hyung/kata, but at Hiltz Hapkido we do
practice eight open hand patterns and one cane
pattern. HAPKIDO

Choi Young Sool
Hapkido is a Korean martial art with Japanese origins. The founder of
Hapkido, Choi Young Sool, was taken to Japan during the Japanese
occupation of Korea when he was eight years old. According to Choi he was
abducted from his home village of Yong Dong in Chungcheongbuk-do in1912 by a Japanese merchant named Morimoto who had lost his own sons
and wished to adopt Choi. Choi resisted and proved so troublesome that he
was abandoned in the streets of Moji, Japan. He became a student of
Takeda Skaku, and studied a form of jujutsu known as Dait-ry Aiki-jjutsu. He was adopted by Takeda Sokaku when he was 11 years old andwas taken to Takeda's home and dojo in Akita on Shin Shu mountain where
he lived and trained with the master for 30 years. Choi returned to Korea
after the end of the World War II and in 1948 began teaching his art at a
brewery.
Takeda Sokaku
Dait-ry Aiki-jjutsu originated with Shinra Sabur Minamoto no Yoshimitsu(10451127), who was a Minamoto clan samurai and member of the SeiwaGenji (the branch of the Minamoto family descended from the 56th imperial
ruler of Japan, Emperor Seiwa). Dait-ry takes its name from the mansionthat Yoshimitsu lived in as a child, called "Dait", in mi Province. Accordingto legend, Yoshimitsu dissected the corpses of men killed in battle, studying
their anatomy for the purpose of learning techniques for joint-locking and
pressure point striking (Kyusho-Jitsu). Yoshimitsu's great-grandson Nobuyoshi
adopted the surname "Takeda," which has been the name of the family to the
present day. It was Takeda Sokaku who began teaching to non-members of
the family in the late 19th century. Among his famous students was the
founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba.

Richard Buchan started studying martial arts at the age of eight in 1970 with
Judo, then on to Shorin-ryu Karate. At the age of 19, Buchan enlisted in the
Canadian Military as an infantry solider where he studied with many
instructors discovering close quarter combat techniques. After completing his
time in the military he discovered the art of American Kenpo Karate studying
under an instructor who was ranked to a 4th dan under the late Grandmaster
Ed Parker. During this time he was introduced to Kosho Shorei Ryu from a few
masters that had been studying the art form for most of their lives. Richard
Buchan continued to grow and progress in the art of Kosho Ryu developing his
knowledge combined with other styles to create a one of a kind combat style
combining ancient combat principles with modern military applications.Richard Buchan
James Mitose (1916-1981) brought the art of Kosho Shorei Ryu Kempo to the
U.S. in the early 1940s. Mitose was born in Kailua-Kona, North Kona District,
Hawaii on December 30, 1916. On October 22, 1920, at the age of four, heand his two sisters were taken by their mother back to Japan to be given
formal education and upbringing with family living there. While there, in
addition to their schoolwork and university studies, they trained in the art of
Kenpo. James returned to the United States in 1935 at the age of 21.
Mitose began teaching Kenpo in Hawaii in 1936, and in 1941 set up a martial
arts school. He gave the style he taught a number of different names during
his lifetime, including Shorinji Kenpo and Kenpo Jujutsu, but over time,
settled on the name Kosho Shorei-ryu Kenpo, which can be translated as "Old
Pine Tree School Kung-Fu".
In 1953, James Mitose ceased teaching Kenpo regularly and moved toSouthern California. He privately taught a few students in that time, including
Terry Lee for about a year. In 1974 Mitose was arrested in Los Angeles and
convicted of murder and extortion stemming from a conflict over a loan and a
murder committed by Terry Lee. During the trial there was conflicting
testimony and the court acknowledged that Japanese testimony had not
been accurately translated.
According to trial transcripts, James Mitose denied inciting Lee to commit
murder but took responsibility as his martial arts instructor. Lee claimed
Mitose had suggested on numerous occasions that Lee should commit the
murder. Lee also testified that Mitose and his wife Dorothy, had given him a
rope, a knife, a screwdriver and an air pistol in order to carry out his actions.
As a result of Lee's testimony, Mitose was sentenced to life in prison.

Anko Itosu
Anko Itosu (1831-1915) is considered by many to be the father of modern
Karate. Itosu began his training under Nagahama Chikudun Pechin. His study
of the art led him to Sokon Matsumura. He is also famous for his extensive
body conditioning, it is said that he had hands as hard as iron.
Itosu served as a secretary to the last king of the Ryukyu Kingdom until
Japan abolished the Okinawa-based native monarchy in 1879. In 1901, he
was instrumental in getting karate introduced into Okinawa's schools. In
1905, Itosu was a part-time martial arts teacher at Okinawa's First Junior
Prefectural High School. It was here that he developed the systematic
method of teaching karate techniques that are still in practice today. He
created and introduced the Pinan forms (Heian in Japanese) as learning
steps for students, because he felt the older forms (kata) were too difficult
for schoolchildren to learn. In 1908, Itosu wrote the influential "Ten
Precepts (Tode Jukun) of Karate," reaching beyond Okinawa to Japan. Itosu's
style of karate, Shorin-ryu, came to be known as Itosu-ryu in recognition of
his skill, mastery, and role as teacher to many.
While Itosu did not invent karate himself, he modified the kata (forms) he
learned from his master, Matsumura, and taught many karate masters.
Chojun Miyagi
Chojun Miyagi (1888-1953) was an Okinawan martial artist who founded
the Goju-ryu Karate by blending Okinawan and Chinese influences. In 1915he travelled to Fuzhou china where he learned and adapted some forms
(Kata) from White Crane Kung Fu. From this he developed Tensho and
taught the forms Sanchin and Suparinpei. However, it was not until 1929
that Chojun Miyagi named the system Goju-ryu, meaning "hard soft
school".

principles, these are learned individually in order to fully understand the principle before moving on to
more complex training.
White Belt
Yellow Belt
Green Belt
Blue Belt
Red Belt
Assistant Black Belt
Introduction to basics
Introduction to circular motion
Introduction to the Octagon

Uniforms are a major component of the school's identity, as such they should be cleaned regularly and
kept in good condition. All uniforms will have the Hiltz Hapkido crest worn on the left breast. It is
optional to have the Canadian flag on the shoulders of the uniform. Students may wear crests from other
martial art schools on their sleeves, so long as they start from the top and remain relatively balanced on
both sides.

Health and Fitness
The Octagon
(as drawn by Ed Parker)
The 8 Principles of Hiltz Hapkido are the core of the style. They are the body mechanics that
we take advantage of to make our techniques effective. The principles are divided up andtaught at different points of the curriculum. Once you have become proficient with one set,
the next set is added until you can apply all of them into your techniques.
White Belts will come to understand the first three principles:
Keep in your Centre
Power through rotation and gravity
Work up the body
If you have questions, talk with your instructor.

Stances are a set of positions and weight distributions for our feetand legs. They all have a defined purpose and their own time andplace where they are used. In Hapkido you will encounter thefollowing stances:
Walking Stance
Neutral Stance
Cat Stance
Sitting stance
L-Stance
X-Stance
Crane Stance
Mantis Stance
Three Battles Stance
The names of techniques also differ depending on the stanceemployed. When the first word in the techniques name is reverse itimplies that you are doing the technique with the hand opposite ofthe foot with the most weight on it. For example, a middle punch issame hand and foot forward in a walking stance where a reversemiddle punch would be opposite hand and foot forward in a walkingstance.

Foundations are the main movements used in striking and
joint manipulations. As you increase in rank, the motions will
become more complex. By the time you reach green belt, you
will have learned over 40 hand techniques and 70 kicks.
The foundations at white belt should be practiced from a
walking stance both moving forwards and backwards.
Each session, aim to practice each technique 12 times as a
rule of thumb.

There are 40 unarmed self-defence techniques and 20
techniques with weapons that must be learned and
performed with both hands before the black belt ranks.
White belts are required to learn the first 10 (less students
who are children).
When practicing these it is important to go slow at first and
gradually increase resistance and pressure with your partner.
If your partner taps, that means do not add any more
pressure to the technique.
Do not get into the bad habit of letting go when your partner
taps! Just stop there, hold it without hurting them, thenrelease. Releasing in a fight because the bad guy tapped out
is not a smart thing to do!
