About this user
Hapkido originated in South Korea in about 1950 from an amalgamation of a number of styles. Hapkido teaches you how to defend yourself and others against a variety of common attacks. It combines hand strikes and powerful kicking along with joint locks, holds, takedowns, throws and ground fighting.
Hapkido's techniques are based on an opponents attack, meeting that attack, turning it back on the attacker, and following through with offensive finishing techniques if required.
The best way to describe Hapkido is that it is a "Mixed Martial Art" although unlike modern "Mixed Martial Arts" our focus is not on competition but on practical self defence. Hapkido is a unique style that will enable you to defend yourself in just about any situation.
