Misplaced comment
I have moved the following comment, which was originally placed at the end of the article, to here. Bradford44 16:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
I would like to know what evidence the author of this article has regarding Richard Kim's membership in the Kempe-tai. As a student of Richard Kim from 1967 to his death in 2001 I was not aware of any evidence to this assertion by the author.

Relation with Choi Yong Sul (吉田朝男), the founder of Hapkido
Here is a letter from Richard Kim to a Japanese resercher.Kadzuwo 19:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC) http://www.toshima.ne.jp/~fukuoka3/hapkido/hapkido3.htm
dated November 26, 1984:
The founder of Hapkido, Mr. Choi -- Japanese name Yoshida, is not related to Yoshida Kotaro, Samurai extraordinary.
Mr. Choi was a student of Yoshida Kotaro. In fact he was an excellent student. You must realise that before Japan surrendered in August 15, 1945, all Koreans had Japanese citizenship and names.
Mr. Choi returned to Korea and taught Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu. He named it Hapkido which in Japanese is Aikido. Since his time Hapkido has become modified with a distinct Korean flavour. It is an excellent art.
I would that the thrust and direction of Hapkido where it is different from what originally Mr. Choi had taught is in a number of sophisticated kicks which is unique to the Korean style of fighting. Probably, according to some, it may have improved the art for modern day consumption. That would be a matter of debate.
You are learning a good art. Stay with it and practice until perfection.
Sincerely,
Richard Kim, Hanshi
