  • An incredible Martial Art. I'm kind of getting a whole counter striking/joint lock vibe from Hapkido. Very defensive techniques. Took notice of alot of throwing quite similar to Judo as well. Speaking of that, I think a Hapkido practitioner should know some grappling arts to accompany this style, such as Jiu Jitsu. Lord knows how many times you can throw a man. Just a thought.

  • @Pric3less1 hapkido incorporates ALOT of ground techniques, it is a complete art. it is not all "defensive" either. it incorporates many effective striking techniques.

  • parece macacos numa jaula brigando ! cade a filosofia ? cade as técnicas? quem pratica essa luta me desculpa mais eu não gostei nada dela. Mais eu a respeito.

  • @nnmacameraman92 lol ur supposed to use headgear and equipment or its the law

  • can you please, please, please snap faster frames . . . this one wasn't fast enough . . . I like it when my eyes start twitching and cramping as they try to switch from one clip to another it .3 seconds, over and over and over.

    *(p.s. LOVED the first two frames of "sparring" where they just stood there . . . nice "highlight" selection there! LOVE it. lol)

  • 0:58 most impressive move of video.

  • i take hapkido and it is designed for people who rush. The cops use it and some military does. It urts like hell but you can win a fight with one proper arm lock.

  • same as MMA

  • @iReallyDontKnow630

    Hapkido is a Corean Martial Art. Not MMA. This video is just the sparring, but hapkido has much of self defence tecknicks, and you can use all. But on a championship are rules. You dont can use the self defence tecknick, because they break your arm, the neck, the kne, and all part of your body :) In sparring you can use kicks, punch, and ground fighting. Search for hapkido videos and you can see what it is :) And try it! Its realy goood! :)

  • @demodome ive been thinking bout trying it

  • damn, i wasted my time with TKD!! Hapkido is all around, ground, grappling, arm lock, kicks punches etc WTF!! both are from korea!!

  • Comment removed

  • @azraelangelofred /watch?v=VQXlg7DksvY <-- perfect example of how MMA wins vs. a strict art(s).

  • @zacktillery Its not the art bro, it's the situation and the fighter. I'm sure that if a white belt in Muay Thai with no backround experience in martial arts went up against a black belt in Hapkido, the black belt might win, but the white belt MIGHT have a gun, so the white belt might win. Situation. K, now two black belts, one extremely heavy built, practicing MMA, benches 300, goes up against a 175 pounder Hapkido, and hapkido wins, fighter. MMA wins, fighter. All martial arts are good

  • @azraelangelofred Good thing MMA trains everything and not just unreliable techniques. :)

  • @zacktillery Actually, MMA has banned Aikido and Hapkido because they're too dangerous for the fighters :)

  • @AkisameKoetsujii I laughed out loud hard at this. They're not banned at all. Wrist locks are allowed, and thats all that makes aikido different than other martial arts. TKD is a horrible art for real combat training. "and kick the crap out of some MMA guys." - very unintellegent.

  • @zacktillery Nowhere did I say "And kick the crap out of some MMA guys..." Also, like I've stated before it's the fighter. Now you pretend to be so big and bad over the internet, but I dare you to go up to a master of ANY martial art, record it so we can see it, and try to hit him. We'll all laugh at how quickly you end up on the floor.

  • One more thing, REAL TKD, not that tournament shit, is a great martial art. Because I'm so sure that Korea just invented it to be like Pilates. In case you couldn't tell that was sarcasm. It's people like you that give MMA the general a**hole distinction, ragging on other people's martial arts. MMA is a good art, TKD is a good art, Hapkido is a good art. Get over it, your not the best because your practicing Muay Thai and Brazilian Ju-jitsu. (which are both good arts)

  • @AkisameKoetsujii I completely disagree. MMA trains everything, so imagine your art, then all other arts, then imagine perfection. You've just witnessed mixed martial arts.

  • @zacktillery If they were perfect in every martial art, then hell yeah, MMA would be the perfect art. But they're not, at most they're usually at black belt level in only one or two martial arts, which is pretty deadly, but against a really good martial artist in one style, it'd only be sub sufficient.

  • @AkisameKoetsujii Although i see where you are going with your statement, and i partially agree, i'll have to disagree and say that if you took a 5th degree black belt in tae kwon do, and put him against a black belt in jiu jitsu and judo, the tae kwon do guy would lose horribly. I partially agree, like i mentioned earlier, because if you train 2 martial arts at once, most of the time you don't excel in one. Although this is true with PURELY striking or PURELY grappling, we are, for the sake of

  • @AkisameKoetsujii the argument, talking about MMA. In MMA, if you don't address the 3 major fields of combat, which are striking, grappling, and ground work, then you will get dominated on one of them, most likely the ground.

  • @zacktillery Ground work is extremely important, but get taken to the ground in a real 4 on 1 fight and your going to get wrecked by the rest of the group. Also, MMA focuses on one on one, while being great in multi-person fights, wouldn't be the art I recommend for it. Thus making it imperfect

  • @AkisameKoetsujii 1 v 1 is the only thing that matters, nothing effectively deals with more than one attacker or weapons, although i'm sure you'll disagree. If someone came up to me and said "give me your money or i'll stab you." i'm going to be broke because i'm not risking it.

  • represent calgary baby

  • Anyone who says Hapkido wouldn't be effective vs a "MMA" fighter is a fool. Hapkido is essentially a mixed martial art as it is... Striking, kicks, grappling, take downs, pressure points... Honestly I would love to see a Hapkido based fighter in the UFC or whatever. Finally show people how effective it really is. Or even better, a Hapkido/Jiu Jitsu fighter. Now that would be a dangerous combination!

  • anyone who says hapkido is like tkd is a moron. tkd was a good martial art until it was made into a sport martial art. all they teach is to hit and back away. hapkido teaches you to get in the fight and win. if your in a real fight do you think the other person is going to wait. he is going to rush you and tkd doesn't teach defense against that.

  • Dont get in a pin or an arm lock ;-)

  • So this is like taekwondo but with throws? This is the first time I seen a vid. hapkido related and I would like to know about it's rules.

  • Very good!

  • Hapkido= Modern Korean Martial Art. Aikido= Ancient Traditional Japanese Martial Art

  • @SMCKEE113. IN HAPKIDO WE SPAR EVERY NIGHT OF CLASS SO YEAH WE USE STRIKES ALOT! LIKE IVE SAID IVE FOUGHT DIFF PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT STYLES OF TRAININNG N IVE BEAT THEM ALL.... IVE BEAT THEM CUZ THERE STYLES ARE SLOPPY! HAPKIDO TEACHES YOU HOW TO HURT YOUR OPPONENT IN ANY WAY THEY COME AT YOU! MY TEACHER WAS NAMED MASTER HONG A 9DEGREE BLACK BELT HE TOUGHT OLD STYLE HAPKIDO! AY BUT KNOW IMA BE TEACHING AND HELPING A TAE KWON DO CLASS ABOUT SELF DEFENCE! OH IM 19 BTW LOL

  • SEE UNLIKE MMA WE ARE NOT AFRAID TO ATTACK EACHOTHERE! MMA FIGHTERS MOSTLY STAY ON THE GROUND THERE HARDLEY ANY ACTION

  • @xKiN9LVZYx shut the fuck up u have made like 8 comments all in caps on how ur so fucking good and how mma sucks i have a 130 ponder in my gym that would slam u on ur ass in an instant any good martial artist is humble not some little bitch running there mouth get a life loser

  • @swuzz17 That doesn't seem very humble, sir...

  • @AkisameKoetsujii i never said i was good ;)

  • @swuzz17 Touché. What style do you study? MMA? 

  • @AkisameKoetsujii i do what about u 

  • @swuzz17 I do Hapkido, TKD, Isshynru/Okinawan Karate, and some Long Fist Kung Fu. I like to keep my options open, I've only got my black belts in TKD and Hapkido though

  • @BISHANATOR YES IT WORKS IN THE STREETS! WHERE I COME FROM YOU DO NEED TO LEAR SOME KINDA FIGHTING! IVE SEEN FIGHTS IN THE UNITED STATES ON THE STREET ITS SLOPPY WILD SWINING! SO YEA IVE USED HAPKIDO ON THE STREETS AS DEFENCE N YES IT WORKS

  • @xKiN9LVZYx yeh u make ur self sound so amazing yet all u say to criticize other fights is that they are sloppy and right everything in capital letters. u seem like a right knob who dosent have many friends

  • @xKiN9LVZYx i know it works in the streets dude , i was stating that it does...i do hapkido also :)

  • YES I GOT VIDS BUT I GOTTA PUT THEM UP! IVE BEEN IN FIGHTS THAT TRAIN IN SO CALLD MMA.. THERE SKILLS ARE KINDA SLOPPY! MAYBE ITS CUZ IVE BEEN INN HAPKIDO FOR MANY YEARS I GUESS! AY BUT HAPKIDO IS MOSTLY TAKE DOWNS AND DEFENSE! YES OUR KICKS ARE GOOD.. BUT WHEN WE SPAR IN CLASS THERES NO PADDING TO PROTECT US! THIS IS COMPATETION WHERE THEY USE PADS

  • that was way awesome.

  • how often are punches or hand stikes used in hapkido?

  • @azraelangelofred i purely agree with this, it would be excellent to see some combat hkd mixed with tkd guys enter the mma fad like ufc and truely represent the art. I am sick to death of people undermeaning traditional martial arts and not believing they are effective, especially people that whail and laugh at people who study gung-fu or wing-chun or traditional (not olympic) tae kwon do..even karate!

  • @bishanator2 True people seem to look at martial arts as being almost girly, fact is a skilled martial artist like Anderson Silva or Machida have marched throw a number of these so called MMA fighters.

  • @azraelangelofred LOL... good luck! You dont think there is a reason there are no high profile Hapkido guys in MMA? I'm sure in the movies they are awesome tho! I mean in the movies jackie chan kicks some major ass, but what would happen to him in MMA?

  • coulda done without the spazzy editing. wouldve liked to actually see what they were doing in combination

  • it looks like the ufc

  • This is more TKD than Hapkido. 

  • Ot by using the point system" actuall fighting! I would like to say hapkido has tought me alot! Its one of the best fighting schools in the world!

  • Hapkido is ment for actuall fighting n deffence! I've takin hapkido since.. I was 5 years old up till now I'm 19! Tae kwon do is for show only! I've fought against pole that take taekwondo,judo,aikido,boxing n juijitstu.. Ive beat them all "n

  • @xKiN9LVZYx do u have a vid, i wana see you in action.

  • bad Taekwondo + bad Sanshou

  • Ya i got to ask what style of hapkido is this? or what school teach this method? I have hapkido in the past but this is incrediable

  • Finally... Real Hap Ki Do.

  • @xXBurstGamerXx No such thing as real Hap Ki Do.. well maybe there is, is that the stuff the real laura croft did in tomb raider?

  • @MegaHelloutube Do not be confused. When an art is passed down, minor changes are made, some of which take away from its effectiveness. What I meant by "real" Hap Ki Do was that I had been searching for a long time for the school I was taught under on YouTube. I had finally found it. I apologize for the confusion.

  • im suprised that there are little 2 none hapkido based fighters in mma it looks legit

  • Comment removed

  • @swuzz17 Go watch Jackie Chan, he looks legit too, but the stuff he does looks good in practice or in a demonstration. In MMA it just wont work. I wish it would i have always been a big fan of the traditional martial arts but now after training MMA there is a reason why its mainly Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai, and wrestling... hard fact to swallow at first, i mean other disiplines are better than nothing and they have their place, but fact is, they are inferior.

  • This is Hapkido Sparring. Most hapkido schools dont do this kind of sparring. This is not TKD

  • @hkdlion How come they don't do this kind of sparring? This seems good to be able to practice all your moves and get used to that fighting environment.

  • This is a canadian school? Where?

    This is similar to how my school spars, or flows actually.

    we just don't use gloves or headgear.

  • @hkdlion

    Exatly! This is the sparring in hapkido. Hapkido is a self defence martial art. But the style use tkd kicks. Its a Corean Martial art. Many TKD schools learn hapkido to, because it give the TKD fighter More self defence. And Many Hapkido fighters train TKD to, because they can learn the kicks better on the TKD. So the two styles are litle brothers :) But its not TKD. Hapkido is harder, and has wery good tequnicks. Like ground fighting, and braking. and ect ect.. Keep do it! :)

  • To tekken this isn't actually hapkido this is taekwondo with a mixture of hapkido involved. Hapkido is a great martial art to learn for defending yourself and incapcitating your opponent.

  • IS THIS WORTH STUDYING??...I'VE WATCHED HEAPS OF HAPKIDO STUFF, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF I SHOULD LEARN........MY FRIENDS WANT ME TO DO MUAY THAI, BUT I RECKON THIS LOOKS WAY BETTER!!! NOT SURE, NEED SOME HELP GUYS.... :/ ?

  • @Saiga76239mm

    Hwang Jang Lee?

  • The editing ( skiping and stuff) makes my head hurt XD

  • What song is this? Nice vid

  • 0.58secs perfect sweep!!! drop em quick

  • am i the only person who thinks hapkido is kind of a mix between ninjutsu and tae kwon do

  • @froliciouspanda yes, hapkido seems more like akido and TKD mixed together with a little bit of judo

  • @caltraskoo well akido and judo derive from ninjutsu.

  • @froliciouspanda

    ... You have to be kidding me... Are you a troll or something.

  • @MrConsumerWhore1 don't argue with me argue with the 6th degree black belt who taught me what i know

  • @froliciouspanda

    >Ninjutsu derived from akido and judo

  • @MrConsumerWhore1 aikido was invented in the 1920's, Judo was invented in 1882 and ninjutsu us over 500 years old. it's impossible for ninjutsu to come from judo and aikido

  • Taekwondo + Jiu Jitsu + Sanshou

  • I remember this studio!! :) I wish i lived in calgary so my grandpa could teach me hapkido.

  • This is the kind of schoo I wanna go to!

  • i dont get why people say crap liek this "derrrp this stuff would never work in a REAL fight " right, so people dont train in this art of self defence for thousands of years just to look cool..i dare you to walk up to a black belt of ANY form of martial arts and try and hit him..ignorant people. p.s awesome video hapkido is my favorite :)

  • @bishanator2 Totaly agree you (:

    im now green belt in hapkido and i know it have work a little bit more on street when somoene attack's me. i hate ppl who say that it does'ent work i know it work every kind of martial arts. but like Hapkido the best (:

  • @bishanator2 derrrp.. agianst a person who has no training sure they will kick their ass, but i mean what do you think would happen if you threw a hapkido guy in agianst a top mma fighter? I think that this could def work in a street fight. training with gi's is good cause it simulates street clothes so i guess they got that goin for them..

  • @MegaHelloutube you do realise MMA stands for Mixed martial arts and you do realise hapkido is a MMA as it consists different elements of fighting ranging from grapples, boxing, kicking, joint locks, take down, pressure points and weaponry etc. I think a well trained HKD practioner would do well against a top MMA fighter.

  • @bishanator2 So hapkido is a form of martial arts? or it is a martial art of its own. my question is really this: you never see tradional martial arts used in mma, they use muay thai, boxing, and jits, but no one (save machida) actually utalizes any other fighting style. I mean you may see a spinning back kick that looks like TKD kick but most of the tradtional martial arts arnt effective against a style thats not their own..

  • @MegaHelloutube lol and you also do realise that those styles of fighting are born from traditional martial arts, a pure example of tradtitional martial arts being used is the recent fight between Silva and Belfort, Silva uses a good old front snap kick, and knocks out belfort in the FIRST ROUND and even breaks his jaw, this is also the first time that someone has EVER been knocked out by that type of kick in ufc or w.e as the commentator states. go watch it.

  • @bishanator2 For ex) i see all these karate or TKD ko's here on youtube, but the reason they get ko'd is cuz they have thier hands down so low. they all of a sudden a kick goes high and everyone is surprised they get ko'd. i've sparred a karate national champ (in points sparring karate) and it was rediculoulsy ez to hit him in the head! if i was going to hit him in the nipples his hands would have been in the perfect spot tho! lol. really tho most trad martial arts dont translate well.

  • @MegaHelloutube again traditional martial arts do translate well, becuase these new arts such as BJJ, muay thai etc etc originate from them, again it also depends on the fighter believe me. Not one amrtial arts is greater than the other...not one style is greater than the other , which Bruce lee believed.

  • @MegaHelloutube please watch this too btw /watch?v=fL9ZXos8LfQ&feature=r­elated

  • @bishanator2 I totally agree. These people on you tube are so full of it saying traditional martial arts don't work

    I know of plenty traditional martial artist that have broken people in the street off like broken arms fingers backs.

  • @foxybrown2 i know right, i know from first hand experience that hapkido DOES work..and i know just how painful it is...iv been doing it for almost 2 years now.

  • why does it cut out after every move? its not because they do no full contact and use throws dont work for shit is it?

  • @Mustakrakiish this vid was made by a student in my school watch?v=luoxKprAspM

  • guys i am 18 years old,it's late to start hapkido?

  • @noobsmoke1993 i started at the age of 20

  • @l3erserker

    and you are good? ??

  • @noobsmoke1993 i fought a dude with 7 years of kung-fu training in praymantis style and he struggled at the time i was still a white belt but i think it was because of the school be very carefull in choosing schools not just in hapkido but in every martial art school and teachers make a huge difference clearly the dude i fought was from a bad school

  • @l3erserker

    wait wait dude,where are you from? Cause country depends on how good teachers there are trainning those techniques ,i think first is the Teacher and then is the student...

  • @noobsmoke1993 I train in Toronto my teacher is Canadian but he learned from 5 different second generation Korean teachers 4 of them are dead now.

  • Comment removed

  • @noobsmoke1993 Its never too old to start martial arts training ^^ ive met people who are very good that started around your age or in their 20s

  • @NinrateCommando

    I am already trainning on boxing dude :) 2 years now,but those kind of martials arts,need about 15-20 years to call urself good! :)

  • Hapkido rocks Edit is gay

  • Hapkido is the best martial art EVAR!!! It is a combination of the two second best martial arts, Tae kwon-do and Judo!!!

  • @unnunn12 I don't know if Hap ki do is the best martial art as well as Tae Kwon Do and Judo being second best martial arts. I did practice Tae Kwon Do and I hold a second degree black belt. I'm pretty sure that all the forms of kung fu add up to being the most well-rounded martial art among the rest. I also believe that some forms of kung fu have the toughest training available. But, it's really how much the person is talented in a certain form of martial art that counts.

  • @chanyanghh I know what you are saying, but a mass ameteur like me would not really see a martial art as being practical or making you a better fighter, it just looks like so much fun!

  • AWESOME!! Like that:)

  • FLYING ARMBAR #FTW @ 0:51

  • hapkido its like mma but awesome:p

  • Hapkido sucks and so do most striking arts, striking arts work in the kung fu movies cause 1. it's a movie 2. they're both using the same style.

    On the street it goes to the ground 95% of the time, unlike the movies where they kick and punch and do flips the whole time. On the mat it's different than real life, it WILL go to the ground, that makes grappling arts more effective MOST OF THE TIME a small percentage of the fights will end up staying standing, that's where striking arts help.

  • @munkymaskproductions its a fact that most fights end on the ground, however there are many ways to avoid this, plus lacking basic striking skills can lead to a bad situation in some fights. Also about 70% of the art is from aki-jiujitsu, and therefore contains grappling and floor holds like most martial arts. feel free to correct me, but there are ways to stop any takedown when some1 is trained and keep the fight standing.

  • excellent!

    strike and submission!!!

    excellent!!!!

  • hello instructor bobby if you are reading this i dont know if you will remember me but i used to be one of your students my name is nathan braun and i was just looking through youtube to see if there would be any post amazeing to see them and am missing the school i hope someday to be back and restart my training i miss it like crazy

  • @nevin0420 that in it self honors us instructors im glad you show respect to yours ...

  • If I might make a suggestion for anyone that was taught under Byung Ock Yoon's curriculum: When even sparring I suggest that you focus more on defending yourself rather than attacking wildly at your opponent. You may find that your mind is clearer that way and you will be far less vulnerable. Counter-attacking is usually a great defense.

  • @ArutusXSokrati

    Counter attacking is generally considered the most difficult defense to do(even if effective). I recommend the advice of Musashi Miyamoto "The sure Way to win thus is to chase the enemy around in a confusing manner, causing him to jump aside, with your body held strongly and straight."

  • @ShiftingFeet

    I'm not going to disrespect Musashi. But I was taught very traditionally. My master was not fond of the Japanese. So I was always told that their teachings were cheap knock-offs of the real deal. Counter attack is most effective because your opponent will leave himself quite vulnerable when attacking. You may find it to be most effective. Look at some Shaolin Wu Shu, which is well rounded. But it uses counter attacks very effectively.

  • Both Taekwondo and Hapkido have punches, and they're allowed to be used during sparring and such. It's just that no one wants to use them. (That tendency to lower the hands makes using punches all the more tempting, or maybe that's just me.)

  • I do ITF Taekwon-Do, please tell me Hapkido is not like WTF Taekwon-Do where theres no punches to the face?

  • FAKE OF JAPANESE BUDO

  • SO INTENSE

  • OMGOSH 1MINUTE INTHEVIDEO SHOCKED THE HECK OUTT OF ME

    when he tripped the guy

    perfect!

  • YES, THIS IS THE GOOD STUFF

  • its funny to c how none of them used punches when they were in close range

  • i rember in power rangers the black ranger sed made hiphop and hapkido HIPKIDO

    im glad power rangers fail so much now

  • Amazing stuff! I like fighting mixed up like this!!

  • that armbar at 1:26 was nasty!

  • 1:12-1:14 looks like the kid is about to breakdance, beast hapkido though

  • thanks. Yeah the editing makes that kid look like he is about to breakdance...Lol Thanks for pointing that out

  • that's only half of what you learn in hapkido lol.

  • we are a Hapkido school | our rules do not allow chest protectors (Hogus) but you must wear mouthpiece, shin protectors and some form of gloves (no MMA style). All adults only same gender sparring. 1/2 point for light contact facing, 1 point for standard punch or kick facing, 2 points for turning kicks or strikes (spinning elbow, etc), 3 points for head shot with control by foot, 5 points for submission technique on ground. no striking or kicking to/from the ground. 45 second limit on ground

  • i heard that its a mix of: judo, jiu jitsu, and like kickboxing or something. i dont really know. i think is gonna ask my master. Hapkido owns!! :) i like everything of it :) my hapkido master put also do kempo in it i think it rock.

  • 1:02

  • omgg that was sooo insannee

  • most were black belts

  • Nice vid

    I love how in hapkido they grapple as well

    It looks like judo and TKD mixed :]

  • i believe hapkido has its roots in TKD and Aikido? maybe it is jiujitsu though... or something haha. need to check my facts

  • Pretty sure Hapkido and Aikido have roots in Daito Jiu jitsu. There are probably other roots as well.

  • You're correct.

    Hapkido is Daito Ryu Aiki-Jutsu adopted by korean martialists who mixed that techniques with korean former martial arts.

  • Its actually a combination of Karate, TKD, Taichi, Aikido, Jiujisu, Kickboxing and Judo

  • Comment removed

  • same here so i just watch videos on how 2 do their moves and elar them that way

  • cool vid, check out our channel, we dont have any videos but we will

  • this video is pretty nice. i like the concept of hapkido.

  • :45, :55, and 1:01. Kids are nuts

  • I rather see seasoned fighters, not kids.

  • I love watching kids fight. They're way crazier than adults and willing to take bigger risks.

  • what song is this? sounds like linkin park but i'm not sure what it's called

  • lulz!

  • what's so funny? and why did i get 2 thumbs down for asking a question lol

  • Cause hapkido is another Korean Martial art as i have heard :P

  • you cant grapple in taekwondo. Hapkido is much better. id love to do but nowhere in my arer teaches it. :(

  • where do you live?

  • Comment removed

  • thnx

    i live in the netherlands why?

  • oh. no wonder you're not close to any hapkido dojangs

  • how you mean?

  • hapkido training centres/hapkido dojangs. dojang is korean for dojo/training centre.

  • newport in wales, uk

  • For all those who think muay thai kicks are stronger.. grow up, tkd kicks are Proved to be stronger cuz u use the hip and feet... and anatomy of the human body is much better. dont just search for something to complain about u nolife losers..

  • depends on the situation.

    are you talking about awesome TKD moves like everything that spins and the side kicks and a couple other awsome moves?

    or are you talking about the pussy ass TKD point scoring roundhouse?

  • so you saying muay thai doesnt use any hip in their kicks?

  • very good¡¡brothers

    ,from colombian hapkido.

  • wow look at all these babies whining over which art is better

  • why do you people care so much about practicality ? do you guys get jumped by a ninja assassin squad every night and fight them off using an incredible array of martial arts skills? Unless a shocking amount of people answer yes to this queston, I advise all practicioners to train the style they ENJOY. If you want practicality, I recommend you guys buy a gun.

  • Agreed. Besides, every style is effective, they've been around for thousands of years (most have)...it all depends on the person.

  • @mrchucknorris I am a ninja assasin squad

  • @mrchucknorris lol with the gun comment, but i used to be bullied because i was the 'nice guy' and was a bit weak. i used to be attacked on a regular basis at school and after, people also tried to mug me on the street. so i learn't Taekwondo and defended myself and my friends from attacks that are now almost non existant unless im not there at the time (very rarely).

    im not gonna buy a gun because id rather die than win without my skill, unless they had a gun or i was outnumbered 3+ to 1.

  • @mrchucknorris Hey everyone, fucking CHUCK NORRIS said so. stfu and listen.

  • @mrchucknorris even chuck norris knew and used to demonstrate martial arts on his shitty movies. Hapkido more than anything airhead

  • @mrchucknorris Guns are illegal in many cases and difficult to obtain/maintain. You can't carry them with you at all times and they are entirely unreliable. You also might be convict
