Description
Hapkido The Korean martial art "Hapkido" literally translates to "The Way of Coordinated Power" and consists of hundreds of techniques that flow easily from one technique to another to provide the practitioner an infinite number of ways to defend oneself. At first glance Hapkido might look like other martial arts like Tae Kwon Do or Karate when it comes to punching and kicking; the joint locking is similar to Aikido, the throwing techniques look like they're from Judo and the grappling and escapes are similar to Jiu-Jitsu. The difference is that Hapkido has combined all these elements into one single art because it is a (combat) martial art.
