Life

Oh began his study of hapkido at Ji Han-Jae (Korean: 지한재)'s first hapki yukwonsool school, the An Moo Kwan (Korean: 안무관) in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Fellow students were Kwon Tae-Man (Korean: 권태만), and Yoo Young-Woo (Korean: 유영우).

He continued training at Majang, Seongdong, Seoul in 1957. Who were joining Oh at that time, were also early hapkido practitioners Hwang Deok-Kyoo (Korean: 황덕규; latter day president of the Korea Hapkido Association), Kim Yong-Jin (Korean: 김용진; founder of the Ulji Kwan), Kang Jong-Soo (Korean: 강종수), Kim Yong-Whan and Lee Tae-Joon.[1]

Accomplishments

Oh Se-Lim was elected the president of the Korea Hapkido Association in 1980. By 1983 Oh Se-Lim, with political problems and many of the original founding members of the Korea Hapkido Association departing (Ji Han-Jae, Myung Jae-Nam), renamed the association by the name first used by the organization he had first been a part of with Master Ji, the Dae Han Hapkido Hyub Hoe (Korean: 대한 합기도 협회), with a new preferred English rendering; the Korea Hapkido Federation (KHF). Master Oh resigned the position of the president of the KHF, that was succeeded by Kim Jong-Yoon (Korean: 김종윤) in 2008.[2][3]

gollark: It's a weird restriction, considering that presumably if you can engineer an entire missile you can also work out a way around restrictions in GPS hardware, to be honest.
gollark: Apparently the US was worried about GPS being used by enemy ICBMs (???) so now consumer GPS devices will refuse to work above certain speeds/heights.
gollark: You can do GPS with RTL-SDRs apparently, which gets around the weird height/speed restrictions in consumer devices.
gollark: There's interesting stuff with satellites and whatnot, but that needs a lot of hardware.
gollark: I got an RTL-SDR ages ago but didn't have much to do with it, so I decided to look at the blog and still don't have much to do with it, but read about cool stuff occasionally.
