One part of hankido that certainly deserves special attention are the so called 'Dancing Hankido'-techniques or Mu Ye Do Beop (무예도법).
Dancing Hankido enables people to practice the 12 basic self defence techniques of Hankido in a peacefull and relaxed way. This way Mu Ye Do Beop makes Hankido extremely accesible to virtually everyone. Movements can be preformed slowly and there is no need for falling.
Third principle
A little known fact to many people is that Mu Ye Do Beop was primary developed to enable the practioners to gain deeper insight into the third principle of hankido, 'Harmony of movement and hearth'. When practicing Mu Ye Do Beop together you should focus your mind and movements on this principle. Move together and sense the movements of eachother. This counts not only for the defender, but for the attacker as well. Without attention for the principles, the techniques become empty and without soul.
Elegance
Not shows the elegance of HKD better then a well preformed HKD dancing technique. Mu Ye Do Beop was developed by the late grandmaster Myung Jae Nam as part of the complete Hankido curriculum.
The intention was indeed to make hankido techniques widely accesible to everyone and to enable families to practice self defence together.
