The origin of Hapkido is mildly debated but one story is generally accepted. Choi Yung Sool was a korean boy taken to Japan that served Sokaku Tokada (a samurai and well accredited martial artists). What Choi did under Tokada is unsure, but it's likely that he learned his Martial Arts skills at this time. Choi then returned to Japan and started his own martial art that would, after several name and style changes, become Hapkido. Doju Ji Han Jae was one of his students and is sometimes known as the founder of modern Hapkido
Korea Hapkido Federation was created in 1965.
Hapkido has the potential to kill an opponent but that is not its purpose. It is to be used for defense.
Hapkido is the Korean equivalent of the Japanese Akido. It draws much of its origin from the art of Akido itself.
Hapkido has korean Tae Kwon Do Shorinji Kempo and chinese Kung fu origins
Hapkido is very effective and dangerous. TaeKwonDo would be a good beginner art for striking skills. After 2nd or 3rd Dan, study HapKiDo. Different strikes, plus joint locks, plus throws will have you well rounded.
Hapkido (합기도) is a type of traditional Korean martial art and method of self-defense training. In order to train in hapkido, you must be very agile and alert due to the precision foot-work and close combat techniques.
It is a form of Korean self defense.
Hapkido is a Korean Martial Art and Karate is an Okinawan Martial Art. Both involve learning strikes, grappling and throws.
because hapkido applies alot of teakwondo, aikido, and karate it would not be such a bad choice, but most of it relies on your trainer and coach.
