Hwal Moo Do in Greece
On December 2nd 1999 Hwal Moo Do (at the time under the name of Hwal Moo Hapkido) was presented to the greek Hapkido students by Mark Klinger for the first time during a 2-day seminar in Athens. Back then the Greeks were training under the alliance of the IHF. In December 1999 the Greek Hapkido Association, under the leadership of Spiros Florakis (5. Dan), switched to the Korea Hwal Moo Hapkido Association. Since then Mark Klinger visited them over 30 times in the following 10 years and propagated the Hwal Moo Do in Greece together with Spiros Florakis. Because of this good and tight cooperation, the greek Hwal Moo Do Association became one of the strongest national associations in Europe with 15 dojangs today.
We wish the greek Hwal Moo Do representatives under the leadership of Spiros Florakis more successful xears in the future
