Hapkido Federation of India conducts referee seminar and examination

KOLKATA: Hapkido Federation of India (HFI) has successfully conducted the National Referee Seminar & Examination at Garhwal Bhawan, New Delhi recently. Hapkido is a Korean form of martial art.
Apart from being a combat sport it forms a complete life system, including meditation, breathing while training, pressure points and a complete self defence system.
It is now considered as the future of Indian martial arts.
Premjit Sen, president of HFI said, “The main motto of HFI is to represent a corruption and politics free sports organisation, where only the player’s interest is the last word.”
A mesmerising Hapkido demonstration was performed by team West Bengal where they demonstrated the different parts of Hapkido practice, such as the self defence system, meditation, breathing system, the martial art forms and sport sparring also.
A cheque of Rs 26,100 was presented to the Referee Commission Chairman and Secretary on behalf of HFI for their hard work.
The federation also felicitated Indranil Das and Tanmoy Dutta, National Coach of HFI with a memento.
All 180 qualified participants had been rewarded with Badges and Referee Ties and were also felicitated by memento on behalf of HFI.
Sen also urged all the players to get ready for the state and national championship, which will be organised this year and there will not be any participation fees for the players.
One complete set (red and blue) of guards will be provided free of cost on behalf of the federation to all the fifteen member states.
