Founder and President of the
International Hapkido Federation™

The International Hapkido Federation™ was founded in 1971 by Grand Master James S. Benko, Ph.D. (see biography). Grand Master Benko has been studying the Hapkido and other Korean martial arts since 1959, providing IHF members with guidance from his many years experience in the Korean martial arts. The IHF was established to preserve and perpetuate the study of the Art of Hapkido without "politics".

New products, services, and information will be added to this web site on a regular basis. This will provide those interested in the Korean martial arts with a continuous source of accurate and authoritative information.
