b>Han-Pul, a Korean martial art style, is different from other popular styles of martial art. For one, Han-Pul is not a sport karate. For another, Han-Pul practitioners do not have kata or tournaments. Han-Pul does not concentrate on power and contact only. Instead, it teaches Han-Pul students to focus and learn proper technique. Han-Pul practitioners are people who come from various backgrounds and ages. One thing Han-Pul practitioners have in common is their serious desire to learn the techniques and philosophy of this particular martial art.

Specifically, Han-Pul emphasizes the following:

- Delivering long, forceful blows and kicks using the power of the entire body

- Applying focused techniques to effectively counter attacks made by an opponent

- Using joint manipulations for throws, take-downs, pins and weapon defense

- Learning fighting skills like falling, rolling, blocking, avoiding and jumping

- Developing a relaxed intensity with accurate delivery of potent techniques to an opponent's pressure points

- Learning practical self-defense and street fighting skills as well as using ordinary objects as weapons

- Undergoing weapons training in knife, sword, short stick, long staff and cane
