Oh Se-Lim was an early Korean hapkido practitioner and a pioneer of the art. He had been the president of the Korea Hapkido Federation for 18 years.
Oh began his study of hapkido at Ji Han-Jae 's first hapki yukwonsool school, the An Moo Kwan in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Fellow students were Kwon Tae-Man, and Yoo Young-Woo .
He continued training at Majang, Seongdong, Seoul in 1957. Oh joined other senior practitioners already training in Seoul at that time, early hapkido practitioners Hwang Deok-Kyoo (; latter day president of the Korea Hapkido Association), Myung Kwang Sik (; latter day founder of the World Hapkido Federation), Lee Tae Jun, Kim Yong-Jin (; founder of the Ulji Kwan), Kang Jong-Soo, and Kim Yong-Whan.[1]
Oh Se-Lim was elected the president of the Korea Hapkido Association in 1980. By 1983 Oh Se-Lim, with political problems and many of the original founding members of the Korea Hapkido Association departing (Ji Han-Jae, Myung Jae-Nam), renamed the association by the name first used by the organization he had first been a part of with Master Ji, the Dae Han Hapkido Hyub Hoe, with a new preferred English rendering; the Korea Hapkido Federation (KHF).
