I have a photo, click link below, of Myung Jae Nam sitting between Kisshomaru Ueshiba (left) and another man on the right. Does anyone recognize this individual? I have been trying to trace this person’s identity but it has been a challenge. Any ideas would be welcomed!
Thank you kindly!
I have been on a 7 day anxiety bender, barely sleeping, and just very emotional. I have a history of OCD and Anxiety. I went to ER today and my blood work was fine, but my glucose was 8.8. Er doctor said rest of bloods were fine and that this is likely a stress induced response. I wake every morning with crippling anxiety and stomach churning cortisol sensations. Does intense stress increase blood sugar THAT HIGH after 7 days of it? I don’t have any symptoms of diabetes, ER doctor told me concerned… But my health anxiety is going through the roof.

Good day Aikidoka.
I am very curious as to the founder of my Hapkido lineage, Myung Jae Nam. He studied Hapkido, and from what I have read, studied Aikido as well during a very turbulent time between Japanese and Koreans. He apparently studied under a "Hirata" Sensei, during cultural exchanges.
Myung Jae Nam's Hapkido has a tremendous Aikido flare, but I have not studied Aikido and cannot give any clarity as to how developed his Aikido is, or if this is even Aikido (orthodox) at all. For those of you with Aikido experience, and being polite and respectful, what can you tell me by looking at these videos? Does it tell you anything about the era of Aikido he may have studied? Does it look more internal, or external, or a mix of both?
A link is below. I understand the video is long, but if you just skip around and watch a few techniques. Are these techniques recognizable to you? Do they have a different slant? I am trying to understand where his Hapkido and Aikido intersect. Any thoughts, as long as respectful, would be interesting to me. I enjoy the material tremendously, but am curious as to how it would be perceived by an Aikidoka. Is it all kihon, or henka, or none of the above?
