Crazy or courageous?
By: Henk Verschuur
We receive a lot of reactions from all over the planet and
sometimes the content intrigues us.
Who is the man or woman behind this letter, is he or she
serious in what he or she writes or wants?
The messages we received from master Mehrdad Khan Moyaedi
telling us that he wants to fight anybody on any rules in
the ring made us curious. Is this man crazy or courageous?
Getting further in contact we received an impressive video
showing what he is physically and mentally capable of. Here’s
a short, in his own words, on Master Mehrdad Khan Moayedi
and his dojang.
The Dojang was established in 1993. Master Mehrdad Khan Moayedi
is originally from Persia. He`s the founder, creator, &
owner of Ancient Hapkido/Shaolin Kung-Fu as an 8th dan Black
Belt, as well as World Shin Do Association, also an 8th dan
Black Belt. In addition, Master Mehrdad is President and Disciple
of Kong Shin Bup Hapkido and Tae Keuk Do of Grand Master Inn
Shuk Pak as a 6th dan Black Belt . He is also a 4th generation
of Persian Kushti Kaj (self-defense and grappling art) from
Iran.
Master Mehrdad Khan Moayedi has devoted 30 years of study
and active participation in these traditional martial art
systems. In addition, he is an active fighter in full contact
fights (such as K-1, the most prestigious martial art event
in the world). Master Mehrdad is well renowned for his knowledge
and mastery of martial arts and he drew upon his practical
experience gained in the dojang, the ring, and the street
and ultimately created his own unique system of martial arts.
A system that is much more effective as he has eliminated
the flashy, useless moves that many styles have and at the
same time incorporated techniques and strategies of each.
In addition to martial art systems such as Hapkido, Kung-Fu,
Muay Thai Kickboxing, Kushti Kaj (grappling art) and Western
Boxing, his system also includes Yoga, Tai Chi, and Chi Kung,
which are the roots of internal power.
Students of Master Mehrdad Khan Moayedi learn that martial
art is not only about fighting, it is the way and journey
to find peace within you and gain patience, confidence and
self esteem.
In his fighting career he has participated successfully in
several disciplines like full contact, taekwondo and Persian
wrestling of which he was national champion for 5 consecutive
years. All together 36 KO and 6 TKO.
He holds degrees in Kong Shin Bup Hapkido, Ancient Hapkido
and KungFu and Persian Kushti Kaj.
We can at least state that the man is an athlete and true
lover of martial arts but will he be able that defeat a big
champions like the stars of K-1? We don’t know! We will
see him in the ring soon and tell you all about it.
