Timeline
Hwang In-shik (born September 13, 1940) is a Korean actor and hapkido teacher.
He is known for his work in various Hong Kong martial arts films such as Bruce Lee's Way of the Dragon, Jackie Chan's The Young Master and Angela Mao's Hapkido.
Huang was also looking for impressive new techniques to infuse into the Hong Kong action sequences, and so had his stars train at the Korea Hapkido Association for about four months under Hwang and association chief Ji Han-jae.
Many of the impressive kicking techniques seen in Hong Kong cinema today are a result of the cross-cultural influence of this time.
Hung had a particular affinity for the training, and some of his signature techniques such as the jumping double front kick come directly from the hapkido syllabus.
Impressed by the hapkido practitioners, Huang invited both Hwang and Ji to Hong Kong to develop a film idea inspired by the director's experiences in Korea.
Made in 1972, the movie was titled Hapkido and is known abroad under the English title Lady Kung-fu.
In the film, Ji and Hwang basically play themselves, a hapkido master and his top student who teach the style to a group Chinese students.
Hwang also appeared briefly in Lee's Way of the Dragon in 1972 as a Japanese karateka.
After returning to Korea, Hwang over the next few years starred in a series of Korean martial arts movies including A Wandering Hero, Black Leopard and Black Spider.
Hwang then immigrated to Canada and opened up a dojang in the city of Toronto, retiring from cinema.
Subsequent films such as Fist of Unicorn (1973) also featured both Hwang and Ji playing different roles.
Hwang went on to star in other films, the first stage of his career ending after the death of Bruce Lee, whom Hwang had been in talks with on a part in Game of Death the week Lee died.
He was eventually promoted to 7th-dan black belt in 1976 by the Korea Hapkido Association (대한민국 합기도협회) and was appointed chief instructor of the association's headquarters.
He soon became known as an influential and well known teacher of the art.
In 1976, Hwang immigrated to Canada and started a family.
He opened a dojang in one location and then moved shortly thereafter to the Greek area of Toronto known as the Danforth, where he still continues to teach and train on a daily basis.
Later, Jackie Chan, a stuntman from Hwang's early films, rose to prominence in Hong Kong cinema and coaxed Hwang out of retirement to film The Young Master (1980), featuring in its original form a 15-minute fight scene between Chan and Hwang, and Dragon Lord (1982), in which Hwang plays a villain opposing Chan.
Hwang's work in Hong Kong cinema ultimately helped promote hapkido in both China and South Korea.
He was awarded a 10th degree black belt, the highest rank possible in the art, by the World Hapkido Association.
Born in Sunch'ŏn, north of Pyongyang in present-day North Korea, Hwang In-shik and his family moved to Seoul while he was a young child and it was there that he was introduced to the martial arts, first to Tang Soo Do and then to hapkido at age 13.
Hwang earned his black belt at age 16 and was sent shortly thereafter to the Korea Hapkido Association headed by Ji Han-jae.
During a crucial time in the style's development, many of the prime movers in hapkido today, including Han Bong-soo, Kim Chong-sung and Myung Kwang-sik, were his seniors there.
Hwang was especially known at this time for his superlative kicking ability.
