Hopae Sool is a Korean martial art systematized by grandmaster Do Ki-Hyun.
Hopae served several times in Korean history as an identification card and every Korean had to wear hopae. There was written basic information about the owner as a name, birth, domicile or occupation on Hopae. In dangerous situations, Hopae, of course, was the only weapon that each Korean had with him, and so he learned to use it for self-defence.
These techniques have been systematized in recent decades by Korean Grandmaster of Taekkyun and fencing Do Ki-Hyun. Thus arose Hopae Sool, a martial art suitable as a supplement to every fighting style. This was also the idea of Grandmaster to create a platform for meeting students and teachers of various martial arts. The basic techniques are divided between the techniques in the grip and the very dangerous snap techniques.
