"Shinsei Hapkido has its beginning in the very earliest history of Hapkido and thus maintains the flow and feel of its Aiki Jutsu roots. Before the 1970's Hapkido was not associated with Tae Kwon Do and had very few kicks. Great emphasis was placed on pain compliance and Aiki Jutsu type locks, throws, and projections. Shinsei Hapkido traces its roots back to the days when Hapkido was as its name states - Harmony-Power Way."
