Kong Shin Bup is the style of hapkido that we teach at Sidekicks.What it translates to in english is basically the empty cup principle. What that means in hapkido is more 'the empty mind' principle. now we can all joke about how we in hapkido have empy heads, and its kind of true...but what i like is the empty mind principle. what that means to us is to empty our mind before dealing with an attacker. It helps us to stay focused on the task at hand and only have one single thought in our head.
now how can we apply that thinking to normal life?
what we can do is to clear our thoughts of misconceptions...dont prejudge something or someone...have an open attitude towards life...little adjustments in our sub concious can make a whole world of difference...how often have you started to say something and then someone will cut you off half way through the sentence saying, no that wont work...they dont have an open mind attitude...open up your mid and be amazed at how much easier life will seem.
These are the ramblings in my head.
