@cla52470 haha the only Korean martial arts made for entertainment was Tae Kwon Do
Hapkido is one of the oldest martial arts and without hapkido we wouldn't have many of the martial arts we have today!
Out of all the Korean martial arts only one is made for entertainment!
And Chinese martial arts are also for entertainment like Kung fu when you see the shaolin monks break bricks and do fancy flips and shit or sanshou which is like Chinese kickboxing that's entertainment so bro get your facts st
The Budo inclued Kendo is Japanese traditional original cultuer.Korea does not have Budo culture.Korean's it is fake.The Budo means not only how to fight but also spritual world like phirosophy.The Budo is not entertaiment.Korean's it is only entertaiment and only copy.Please understand it.
I would really like to see more punches in these fights. There are numerous occasions where the combatants are really close to each other, but they still try to do a roundhouse kick etc, instead of elbowing,kicking with the knee, or simply punching the opponent. I'm sure these guys can really kick ass but these fights really look more like demos.
Maan... I Love Hap Ki Do, it's like Tae Kwon Do, But a little bit more hardcore, Grappling, more Punching and Weapons, a bit of accrobacy, real life self-defence, and Man, It has an awesome style !!!!!
@FiredEmpire Dude, You trolls are Awesome !! You should read a little bit, and know how to use the word "stole" u really are some nasty rubbish you trolls, KOREANS Didn't "STEAL" Japanese's Martial arts, Hapkido, Taekwondo are derived from Japanese Bushido that is really Ancient and JiuJitsu...So we could say New Korean martial arts are sons of Ancient Japanese martial arts, BOOM ! In your face ! Troll !
is there some rule in this tournament against catching the kicks? and that was a serious question haha cause i'd just catch the kick and kick out they're other leg.
the thing about hapkido competition is that they compete in different category. in this case is legs and throws. They hardly have boxing competition. But in a normal sparing then yes, everything is allowed. And this video only shows the kicking aspect. If jointlocks are incorporated then people will bound to get hurt as the fastest will win. It's just a competition, it does not let people see the self defense aspect of hapkido.
Seems to resemble Tae Kwon Do but looks like more fun since they can grapple too! Regarding the MMA comments... I think it's an over-hyped thing and it seems that every kid thinks he's a tough guy now because he learned a couple Jiu-Jitsu chokes and boxing combos. I know some of them are talented martial artists but I think the posers are just a bunch of f'n meatheads.
Well this is the system use in Korean Martial Arts I from Kuk Sool and basically the combat is fluid techiques of Taekwondo, Judo, Hapkido, Howrang , and other Korean Weapons where kuk sool means Korean Martial Arts. In order to practice Korean Martial Arts it need to be execellent In Korean MArtial Arts disciplines but what it makes a good martial artist is the heart you have into the training and how much you willing to make a difference in the community not hurting people like MMA
@nevonja Trust me they are been KO'd a couple of times a kick doesn't have to be hard or fast it just has to hit the body in a certain way like a kick that whips the head back might not be a full speed kick but the head jerk motion could cause them to pass out. Also its a competition and no sportsman aims to destroy there opponent, just best them. Lets face it in real life you'd just kick your attackers knee out of joint, fast and not expected unlike a punch to the face.
@nevonja Those kicks are lethal. And you have to remember, martial arts isn't just a competition thing. Real occurances of fights and altercations go down with these types of kicks in play. And without headgear, one of those kicks to the side of your head and you are either dead or in a coma.
@nevonja It depends. The video name says hapkido. But the video implies Taekwondo. Which one is your favorite? Either way, those kicks and attacks look completely effective. And if you take off the sparring gear. They are lethal.
@supertacticalbacon What's your point? I was just saying that the kicks are fairly effective. I wasn't arguing TKD vs. Hapkido. He just said that the kicks don't look effective and I said that they very well are.
@supertacticalbacon yes, but they sure land a lot of kicks to the head. i just think it's bad to train yourself not to fight with your hands up guarding your head.
I'm not saying its a great idea, but beginners can get away with it and and keep the habit against faster and better opponents who can quickly hit the head. I'm just explaining why so many fighters the video are guarding their body.
If someone was training for self defense or mma, you are right. Protecting your head with both arms in TKD leaves your body open for lots of easy points though.
@nevonja how do you not believe? have you seen me spaR? have you been to my academy? try looking up "Academia Cinturon Negra Villalobos" on facebook.. we are the mexican style martial arts holding a world champion "Joel" that has defeated the champion of Spain.. I have been training since i was 5 and have never stopped only on sundays..
@nevonja oh hell yeah, but it takes practice to use reflexes and dodge/block four objects (limbs) while avoiding getting grappled.. cuz u kno nowadays ppl are jumping and grabbing and sissy fighting, so with this u can manage to know what to do when sumthing like this occurs :)
@nevonja you have to remember, the fight movies don't put things in exact context. the only way to do that shit and look that cool is to fight someone who has no training in martial arts and you have alot. these guys are trained to defend these attacks every day so when you have two very well trained people fighting agaist each other, its about the same as two people fighting that have no training, it kinda sucks.
He's right , like in wing chun , when you practice your kicks its not meant to be an attacking kick , its for when your opponent runs against your foot ;)
Hapkido was actually used by the buddhist monks of korea. Tae Kwon Do was developed in Korea, because Korea needed a national sport towards the olympics. Great sweep demonstration in the video though.
great vid.. so much better to watch than What The Fuck TKD. the variety of kicks and throws add so much flavor. makes me really miss training watching this
@Asierux sorry but this is hapkido,, TKD does not have low kicks, leg catch and sweeps, throws ect.. hapkido has all the same kicks as TKD plus a heap more.. they are just using TKD protective gear, thats all
@Sagramorbald well mainly because they kind of are, well the kinking and punching aspects. Same country and all, both derived from taekkyon. Apparently Hkd came 1st and Tkd after but it depends on who you ask and what you read.
@Sagramorbald yes but Australian hapkido (not sin mo hapkido) is very much diferent. it has got a lot of trows and things what they use more in sparring.
@Sagramorbald me when i HKD spar i always grapple i love it to much and once you get the fighter on the ground they dont know wht to do most of the time
@AnnanasPlukker yeah your kind of right. Some if not most Tkd schools have moved towards olymipic style sparring. There is self defense within the sylabus but this seems to mainly invlove sweeps imo.
@DSMANDARIN I dont think so on the other hand. MMA is a sport which does not teach discipline but encourages brutality and aggression. Imagine how many kids try to be like the MMA stars and just go out and take their aggression on other people and we cannot promote this further by making it something 'prestigious' like other Olympic sports. It should remain as it is, I hope that is doesnt become main stream which it looks like its doing. Maybe it would have a positive impact two sides of a coin!
@Mattu1910 I agree.... there is a level of agression that needs to be adressed in MMA. It is turning into a spectacle and it has the potential, if used correctly, to add a huge TV draw to the olympics. We all know Taekwondo and Judo are not shown on TV during the games because there is little to no viewing market for them, but MMA attracts meathead idiots.... and we know there are a lot of those out there.
Taekwondo has some punches, and a couple of self defense techniques but for the most part it has several different kicks. They are like 80% to 90% kicks. They do have other stuff but the focus is on the kicking.
@RezaWontShuffle im a student in hapkido and i learn fighting with weapons yeah but also sparring and techniqeus for defending. like defend kicks,punches,graps.
Tai Chi, kind of thing in most korean martial arts are referred to as the circular blocking,locking, motion. Small circles in Hapkido followed by a sharp direction change (block to lock) and larger circles (infinity block) in its cousin Hanmudo. Also see Akido, Jiujitsu (not BJJ) for circular blocking motion then compaire them to Tai Chi and you'll see why people refer to it as having elements of Tai Chi in it.
@subfuntres Hey! I just love Hapkido although I just have started (I was doing different martial arts before) - BUT I WANT TO DO FULL CONTACT HAPKIDO LIKE THE ONE ON YOUR VIDEO - PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND FULL CONTACT HAPKIDO CLUB. CURRENTLY I LIVE IN LONDON - UK. ARE YOU ANY WHERE NEAR?? AND HOW COME U USED POLISH SONG FOR THE VIDEO?? ARE YOU POLISH?
@pawel86able No not polish the music is actually by a korean kind of pop group 'apparently' not my choice tho. World Koong Joong hapkido schools do this kind of sparring. Most clubs of some sorts will do this if the students ask (you are paying them). The Video its self was from a competition in singanpore.

yilmaz is an effective kickboxer who can make his kicks work well but its due to his kickboxing not tkd.He has good hands which allow his kicks to land.
Yeah... That's why he throws the ever so popular kicking boxing moves like spinning hook kick, and 360 roundhouse kick, and spinning reverse sidekick... Thoughs are all due to kick boxing right... Have you done Taekwondo or kickboxing? He uses some kick boxing, but if you know the difference, you can see his kicks are Taekwondo, his roundhouse, it's Taekwondo. His low roundhouses are kickboxing, but he's Taekwondo is why he wins and kills people with kicks...
17 years at tkd itf style and on irish national team,5 years muay thai,now mma and wrestling.Serkan wins nothing at elite level with his fancy kicks,only low level fighters fall for that,at top level only the basics work.
Why can't you jerks respect anyone... If you were a real martial artist you would at the least respect Serkan, all you MMA jerks do is talk your crap and if you're not "The best in the world" then you're not good... That's a load of crap, you may know how to hit people, but people like you will never be a Martial artist... Martial arts is more then hitting people. Serkan is a good fighter that has many wins by KOs to pro fighters. And yes, anyone in K1 is better then a normal person at fighting
serkan is a great fighter but his flash kicks only work when hes way better than his opponent and waste a lot of energy.The clowns doing hapkido are useless fighters and therefore not martial artists.Martial arts is about effective fighting and character building not 1 or the other.
Yeah... If you fight someone whos way better then you it really dosen't matter what you do... They are better then you LOL He fights in K1, agenst pro fighters, it's weird how your argument is that he fights people that arnt as good as him, maby that means hes better then alot of people? Maby the fact that his Taekwondo is at a AMAZING level and usually people are kicked by him once and the rest of the fight are just trying not to get kicked again. Yeah, he sucks right LOL No respect losers
he fought in k1 years ago and never beat the top guys because he does too many flash kicks.Ive already told you the flash stuff works only on poor fighters,and yes there are poor fighters at the pro level just as there are in boxing.
So basically what you're saying is Taekwondo style style kicks only work on people that arn't as good as you? Just like your right hook won't work on someone who's better then you... lol Anyway, what I'm saying is, Serkan is good at throwing "flashy" kicks, which are confusing and hard to block and very powerful. He made them work in K1, and no one can take that away from him. Not even rude people like you, he won plenty of times and deserves better then disrespectful people like you =)
@GuamKomudo if youd been paying attention,you see its tkd im dissing not serkan who is a class act,in fact id say the best guy ever to use such flash kicks in kickboxing at elite level.A hook is a fundamental move in all full contact styles.
I don't know if it's very different in boxing or not, but that move is pretty good, but in Karate we like alot of straight line attacks, they get there faster.
Point is, Korean style kicks can work in real fights. Asian martial arts are coming back. They went through a period of change, once the "warrior class" was not needed in society, Asians changed the martial arts from making killers to making strong and better people. But now people are making fun of us, so we are changing back to killing. Especially Japan, Karate and Judo are becoming VERY popular in MMA type fighting.
@GuamKomudo Actually Muay Thai should very much be counted as an "asian" martial art and it has always been very popular in modern MMA, same could be said for Judo (but then again, both arts do alive training). Karate not so much on the other hand, Lyoto Machida being the only high profile Karateka being Lyoto Machida (but then Kyokushin flawed as it is for ring sports and the Daido Juku community is doing it's best to actually change that).
@GuamKomudo Neither of this however proves that "korean style kicking" is doing some great entry into the MMA world. Sure if you count Serkan as a proof that it works the same could be said about NFL being effective in "MMA" with Bob Sapps short stint in K1 (like Serkan he won some early fights).
You just have to practice the moves in a full contact inviornment. Like Serkan, you have to know when and how to use each technique. Serkan's probelm was he would throw these super strong kicks like crazy the first round, then he would be tired. The sidekick and stepping roundhouse is getting more popular, these are Korean kicks. They are powerful, they just need to be applied to contact sparring more often.
@GuamKomudo I don't know if I agree on your analysis on Serkan. He could work when his opponent backed off giving him enough room to tee off with his legs. When that didn't happen he got into problems.
Saying that the sidekick is korean is however not true, it's used to great effect in Sanshou competitions.
@GuamKomudo And roundhouses with or without the step is also quite general. What I have a proble with that usually shows itself in TKD and similar arts is chambering of the roundhouse and an unwillingness to commit with the hips which really robs them of power.
But yes, I do agree that these are just issues and the cure is – aliveness in training. More contact sparring and competition (and not point sparring) for the people.
The chambering of kicks is actually quite useful, as a "mixed martial artist", I have come to realize that there is a time and a place for almost everything I have learned, even my Taekwondo that I took for fun. I'm mostly Karate, but my TKD only helped my kicks. I use MuayThai RH for power, and Karate chambered RH for quick kicks. A kick to the head hurts, chambered or not.
@Davidol If the round house kick is delivered properly, then the kick should be leading with the hip, and when this is done the difference in power is vastly different.
@Mattu1910 Indeed. Have I said anything to the contrary? My problem is not roundhouse kicks, they can indeed be used to great effect (and have been shown to do so in several genres of full contact sports). I do however not like the style in which point-fighters use them. Ie. chambering the kick and letting the thigh muscle do the work instead of the hips.
soooo basically hapkido is like tkd the only difference being tkd can use punches but cannot grapple or use low kick and the other way around for hapkido?
actually the tkd is the "complement" of the hapkido, this is a combat, but in the martial tecnique there are a lot of grapple, in the sparring you cant use them cause if you do a grapple tecnique, the other can get badly injured, you can broke an arm or a knee easily
umm... no. hapkido is much more grappling. just they dont use it in sparring. believe me the grappling in hapkido is MUCH more advanced and painful than you can imagine ;)
tkd is more of legs and technical flashy moves.
i know this cos i did tkd and quit it for hapkido since i find hapkido has more technique involved.
Where you train, USA? If you train at a propper place, you would get trained in, doing arm locks, hand techniqes and not just flashy kicks, you would learn about how to defend your self in real situation as it should be. God ask your trainer for you money back :D

Not 100% sure but i think its continuous sparring for prob 5 Min's, throws, kicks, punches (not to head). 2 corner judges and ref to avoid tie breaks.
In my club we wear black gis (dobok in Korean) until black belt when you start wearing a white jacket. It is just club preference -but i do worry when i walk past the other Martial Arts clubs who trained at the same place and wear white that if there was a fight we'd have to be the bad guys ; )
Spot on sir/madam, d'ya know it? I'm in Norwich and Hapkido's been going a long time here- i'm nearly 40 and just a beginner (about to do my 2nd yellow tab), i've dabbled in Martial Arts a bit before, but my whole family are now Hapkido addicts, there seems to be something in it for everyone (you do work up a sweat though!)
Seeing sparring like this makes me wonder how TKD and not Hapkido got into the Olympics. I've done TKD sparring, but this makes me want to do Hapkido sparring. lol
Just the rules, if you allowed joint locking how many people would be put off competing let alone have broken arms. Throws wise i most throws can't be pre planned so just take what you can get really.
I agree with subfruntes. You might not have control over your strength due the excitement, so imagine how many people would break arms, legs even necks..
are you allowed punches? and punching to the head?

@Sagramorbald well mainly because they kind of are, well the kinking and punching aspects. Same country and all, both derived from taekkyon. Apparently Hkd came 1st and Tkd after but it depends on who you ask and what you read.
subfuntres 1 year ago
@subfuntres hkd was first, but about the hkd fighting style ..it s depende of the federatrion or association for example.:
Some hkd schools train like jiujitsu (so much graplling skill)
some school train like judo
some school train like tkd
and other like Aikido
and in my t
hkd school we train free, stand, ground all the aspects of a real fighting but is not MMA because MMA is a Sport no martial art.

i'm sorry when i'm wrong (: i know hapkido have sparring like this too..
AnnanasPlukker 1 year ago
@AnnanasPlukker yeah your kind of right. Some if not most Tkd schools have moved towards olymipic style sparring. There is self defense within the sylabus but this seems to mainly invlove sweeps imo.

The Olympic Commitee should seriously look into adding MMA into the Olympics. I think it would take off like the World Cup.
DSMANDARIN 1 year ago
@DSMANDARIN I dont think so on the other hand. MMA is a sport which does not teach discipline but encourages brutality and aggression. Imagine how many kids try to be like the MMA stars and just go out and take their aggression on other people and we cannot promote this further by making it something 'prestigious' like other Olympic sports. It should remain as it is, I hope that is doesnt become main stream which it looks like its doing. Maybe it would have a positive impact two sides of a coin!
Mattu1910 1 year ago
@Mattu1910 I agree.... there is a level of agression that needs to be adressed in MMA. It is turning into a spectacle and it has the potential, if used correctly, to add a huge TV draw to the olympics. We all know Taekwondo and Judo are not shown on TV during the games because there is little to no viewing market for them, but MMA attracts meathead idiots.... and we know there are a lot of those out there.

billysue2 2 years ago
Tai Chi, kind of thing in most korean martial arts are referred to as the circular blocking,locking, motion. Small circles in Hapkido followed by a sharp direction change (block to lock) and larger circles (infinity block) in its cousin Hanmudo. Also see Akido, Jiujitsu (not BJJ) for circular blocking motion then compaire them to Tai Chi and you'll see why people refer to it as having elements of Tai Chi in it.

@pawel86able No not polish the music is actually by a korean kind of pop group 'apparently' not my choice tho. World Koong Joong hapkido schools do this kind of sparring.

They arn't useless, just these kicks are being thrown for points. Look up Serkan in K1, he throws the legit Korean style kicks, he's very good.

yilmaz is an effective kickboxer who can make his kicks work well but its due to his kickboxing not tkd.He has good hands which allow his kicks to land.
billysue2 2 years ago
Yeah... That's why he throws the ever so popular kicking boxing moves like spinning hook kick, and 360 roundhouse kick, and spinning reverse sidekick... Thoughs are all due to kick boxing right... Have you done Taekwondo or kickboxing? He uses some kick boxing, but if you know the difference, you can see his kicks are Taekwondo, his roundhouse, it's Taekwondo. His low roundhouses are kickboxing, but he's Taekwondo is why he wins and kills people with kicks...
GuamKomudo 2 years ago
17 years at tkd itf style and on irish national team,5 years muay thai,now mma and wrestling.Serkan wins nothing at elite level with his fancy kicks,only low level fighters fall for that,at top level only the basics work.
billysue2 2 years ago
Why can't you jerks respect anyone... If you were a real martial artist you would at the least respect Serkan, all you MMA jerks do is talk your crap and if you're not "The best in the world" then you're not good... That's a load of crap, you may know how to hit people, but people like you will never be a Martial artist... Martial arts is more then hitting people. Serkan is a good fighter that has many wins by KOs to pro fighters. And yes, anyone in K1 is better then a normal person at fighting
GuamKomudo 2 years ago 11
serkan is a great fighter but his flash kicks only work when hes way better than his opponent and waste a lot of energy.The clowns doing hapkido are useless fighters and therefore not martial artists.Martial arts is about effective fighting and character building not 1 or the other.
billysue2 2 years ago
Yeah... If you fight someone whos way better then you it really dosen't matter what you do... They are better then you LOL He fights in K1, agenst pro fighters, it's weird how your argument is that he fights people that arnt as good as him, maby that means hes better then alot of people? Maby the fact that his Taekwondo is at a AMAZING level and usually people are kicked by him once and the rest of the fight are just trying not to get kicked again. Yeah, he sucks right LOL No respect losers
GuamKomudo 2 years ago
he fought in k1 years ago and never beat the top guys because he does too many flash kicks.Ive already told you the flash stuff works only on poor fighters,and yes there are poor fighters at the pro level just as there are in boxing.
billysue2 2 years ago
So basically what you're saying is Taekwondo style style kicks only work on people that arn't as good as you? Just like your right hook won't work on someone who's better then you... lol Anyway, what I'm saying is, Serkan is good at throwing "flashy" kicks, which are confusing and hard to block and very powerful. He made them work in K1, and no one can take that away from him. Not even rude people like you, he won plenty of times and deserves better then disrespectful people like you =)
GuamKomudo 2 years ago
@GuamKomudo if youd been paying attention,you see its tkd im dissing not serkan who is a class act,in fact id say the best guy ever to use such flash kicks in kickboxing at elite level.A hook is a fundamental move in all full contact styles.
billysue2 2 years ago
I learned the hook in Karate =)
I don't know if it's very different in boxing or not, but that move is pretty good, but in Karate we like alot of straight line attacks, they get there faster.

Davidol 1 year ago
Point is, Korean style kicks can work in real fights. Asian martial arts are coming back. They went through a period of change, once the "warrior class" was not needed in society, Asians changed the martial arts from making killers to making strong and better people. But now people are making fun of us, so we are changing back to killing. Especially Japan, Karate and Judo are becoming VERY popular in MMA type fighting.
GuamKomudo 1 year ago
@GuamKomudo Actually Muay Thai should very much be counted as an "asian" martial art and it has always been very popular in modern MMA, same could be said for Judo (but then again, both arts do alive training). Karate not so much on the other hand, Lyoto Machida being the only high profile Karateka being Lyoto Machida (but then Kyokushin flawed as it is for ring sports and the Daido Juku community is doing it's best to actually change that).
Davidol 1 year ago
@GuamKomudo Neither of this however proves that "korean style kicking" is doing some great entry into the MMA world. Sure if you count Serkan as a proof that it works the same could be said about NFL being effective in "MMA" with Bob Sapps short stint in K1 (like Serkan he won some early fights).
Davidol 1 year ago
You just have to practice the moves in a full contact inviornment. Like Serkan, you have to know when and how to use each technique. Serkan's probelm was he would throw these super strong kicks like crazy the first round, then he would be tired. The sidekick and stepping roundhouse is getting more popular, these are Korean kicks. They are powerful, they just need to be applied to contact sparring more often.
GuamKomudo 1 year ago
@GuamKomudo I don't know if I agree on your analysis on Serkan. He could work when his opponent backed off giving him enough room to tee off with his legs. When that didn't happen he got into problems.
Saying that the sidekick is korean is however not true, it's used to great effect in Sanshou competitions.
Davidol 1 year ago
@GuamKomudo And roundhouses with or without the step is also quite general. What I have a proble with that usually shows itself in TKD and similar arts is chambering of the roundhouse and an unwillingness to commit with the hips which really robs them of power.
But yes, I do agree that these are just issues and the cure is – aliveness in training. More contact sparring and competition (and not point sparring) for the people.
Davidol 1 year ago
The chambering of kicks is actually quite useful, as a "mixed martial artist", I have come to realize that there is a time and a place for almost everything I have learned, even my Taekwondo that I took for fun. I'm mostly Karate, but my TKD only helped my kicks. I use MuayThai RH for power, and Karate chambered RH for quick kicks. A kick to the head hurts, chambered or not.
GuamKomudo 1 year ago
@Davidol If the round house kick is delivered properly, then the kick should be leading with the hip, and when this is done the difference in power is vastly different.
Mattu1910 1 year ago
@Mattu1910 Indeed. Have I said anything to the contrary? My problem is not roundhouse kicks, they can indeed be used to great effect (and have been shown to do so in several genres of full contact sports). I do however not like the style in which point-fighters use them. Ie. chambering the kick and letting the thigh muscle do the work instead of the hips.
Davidol 1 year ago
soooo basically hapkido is like tkd the only difference being tkd can use punches but cannot grapple or use low kick and the other way around for hapkido?
sirmoalot 2 years ago
actually the tkd is the "complement" of the hapkido, this is a combat, but in the martial tecnique there are a lot of grapple, in the sparring you cant use them cause if you do a grapple tecnique, the other can get badly injured, you can broke an arm or a knee easily
valterblood 2 years ago 2
umm... no. hapkido is much more grappling. just they dont use it in sparring. believe me the grappling in hapkido is MUCH more advanced and painful than you can imagine ;)
tkd is more of legs and technical flashy moves.
i know this cos i did tkd and quit it for hapkido since i find hapkido has more technique involved.
ThienKLe 2 years ago 2
Where you train, USA? If you train at a propper place, you would get trained in, doing arm locks, hand techniqes and not just flashy kicks, you would learn about how to defend your self in real situation as it should be. God ask your trainer for you money back :D

Just the rules, if you allowed joint locking how many people would be put off competing let alone have broken arms. Throws wise i most throws can't be pre planned so just take what you can get really.
