for dealing with boxing, tang soo do, taekwondo and judo and incorporated them into Ji's curriculum. Promoter of the art Leaving Daegu for his hometown of Andong, Ji opened his first school, Anmoogwan (), in 1956, still calling his art yukwonsul at this time. His earliest students from this period were Kwon Tae-man (; who teaches in California today), Yoo Young-woo () and Oh Se-lim (, former president of the Korea Hapkido Federation). After less than a year, Ji relocated to Seoul, the nation's capital, in 1957. There he founded Sung Moo Kwan (), which would become an influential kwan, or school of hapkido, producing many of the important teachers of the art. His first student was Hwang Deok-kyoo (; founder of the Korean Hapkido Association) followed shortly after by Myung Kwang-sik (; founder of the World Hapkido Federation), Lee Tae-jun, Kang Jeong-soo. In 1958, students Kim Yong-jin (), Jeong Won-seon (; Retired 2007-taught in Rockford, Illinois) Han Bong-soo (of Billy Jack movie fame and founder of the International Hapkido Federation), Choi Sea-oh (First man to teach hapkido in the U.S.) and Myung Jae-nam (; Founder of the Korea-based International Hapkido Federation and Hankido).

In 1961, Kim Moo-hong came to visit Ji and they developed many of the kicking techniques the art is known for. Organizations In 1963, Ji was a founding member of the first attempt to create a large organization to include hapkido. Called the Korean Kido Association (Daehan Kidohoe; ) Choi Yong-sool was elected the first titular chairman with the organization's charter constitution authored by Ji, Choi and Kwon Jang. The association's purpose was to promote martial arts in the public school system and to police officers and government officials. Ji was highly instrumental in organizing this group but Choi appointed another of his top students, Kim Jeong-yoon (), to a position above Ji, greatly diminishing his influence. By 1965, Ji was hapkido instructor for the presidential guard at the Blue House and thereby became acquainted with Park Jong-kyoo (), chief of the country's security forces.
