The art is a Korean version of Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu. With a fea things added in. It’s effective because Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu was made for warfare and has been proven effective in a combative situation. Hapkido really mains Aikijujutsu as the base of the style.
Yes, the origin is Daito Ryu, but there are more than a few things added. Hapkido contains a large body of native Korean striking techniques, especially kicks. In addition Hapkido has been stylized according to certain principles, such as the use of circular motion. So I would say that it is no longer Aikijujutsu and has evolved into a unique art.
I'm practicing both taekwondo and hapkido. I can defend using taekwondo but only at a distance, once it become close combat, hapkido is the most practical martial arts
@Tommy Vercitti Exactly. I'd take it a bit further and say Hapkido doesn't seem very practical at all as a defensive technique. I'm watching them flip guys that weigh 130lbs. Great if you only expect to get in a fight in China. What about a more realistic expectation like some drunk 280 lb. a**hole in a bar? You think you're going to flip him or hurt him by twisting his wrist? LOL. Comprehensive training is where it's at. Go do boxing, muay thai, krav maga, BJJ. Get good at everything, then maybe you have a chance.
@@KarmasAB123 exactly, people fight through broken bones often, broken noses, hands, toes etc. Unless you break a rib, snap a leg or an arm that's not gonna guarantee a win
@@coolunusual yeah thats why chokes arent a thing in sambo. Because its not practical since it takes way too long to choke someone unconcious. Break someones leg or arm and they cant put up a fight anymore. Not saying sambo is the most practical martial art. Most grappling stuff doesnt work unless its in a 1 on 1 situation.
I hope that you understand that these comments are for your safety. Hapkido while could be useful, I recommend judo for throwing or BJJ for ground work. Im not the most experience practitioner of judo(only reaching 1st dan), but I can say that it is much more effective than hapkido. However, If you are enjoying hapkido, go for it. Who cares if it works or not, its about the fun of the sport. Dont lets these comments get you down, but also dont expect to win only because of hapkido.
Hapkido's best aspect is that it's a mixed martial art, not rigid, tons of styles. It also has some full contact competitions. The best techniques are the ones where you strike first, useless as defense (no guard, head movement).
Have you ever taken hapkido? They showed only a fraction. Hapkido is basically a mixed martial art. Teaches a strike and guard as basics. At least it did when I took it.
@@Dcwood1979 Yes, only until 2 dan. I don't see how this disagrees with my comment. Hapkido has various styles and is mixed. But only in comparison with other traditional rigid martial arts. It's useless to defend yourself vs a beginner level boxer or mma, unless you trick and attack first.
@@benoitdalle8536 Hapkido’s main base martial art is Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu. But is mixed with Judo, Teakkyeon and Tang Soo Do. But Aikijujutsu is the base and is a combat art.
I train Muay thai and BJJ. I think Hapkido is pretty useful against streetfights. A lil combi on what I've learned plus Hapkido, I think I would get away from being stabbed
I don't know about the last part, It depends on how Taekwondo is taught by the person teaching. It can be said about any Martial Art that is taught by anyone..
in real life you don't want to risk kicking higher than the belt level especially not the head... you have less of a chance to land a blow and more attacks can be done on you including you being stabbed.
Correct me if I am wrong, but Hapkido seems like a "jack of all trades" martial arts. The masters and students are masters of no one particular skill but very knowledgeable in many skills, including weapons. That's what it seems like to me. Would I be wrong in saying this? Of course, I do know that there are ALWAYS exceptions with a few people. It is always possible for a Hapkido master/student to be a master of kicking while most are not near as good as he is. The same for grappling and weapons.
Well what you say could be true of nearly any art. BJJ specializes in ground fighting, yet they practice takedowns, sweeps, and hip tosses. However, these latter techniques are the core of Judo. And Judo has ground techniques but not as good as BJJ. In Hapkido, the weapons are not taught until you become a blackbelt.
I'm becoming convinced more and more that Hapkido is the best martial art, Especially the joint locks, I am so impressed also the leg to leg lock defense against a middle front side kick ! I have thought of that defense before when sparring in karate class. It is so logical!! Thank you!!
They teach it in special forces in the US I think lol. Also hapkido practitioner, not sure if its the best but its effective. I wouldn't really say any martial art is the best.
Hapkido’s techniques that involve catching punches out of thin air never cease to amuse me. But Hapkido does have good kicks and joint locks (though i would add more punches if i was to modify it)
Having studied both (as a black belt), it's the easy answer to say that Combat Hapkido is probably easier to pick up and make use of for self-defense. Combat Hapkido attempts to reduce some of the less practical aspects of traditional Hapkido. But, as someone mentioned elsewhere in these comments, it comes down to the teacher, most of all, and how they approach the discipline. Both versions can be very effective and I state this after having studied Combat Hapkido first, before studying traditional.
I am 165cm and 45kg, still try to increase my weight.. but now i am looking for information about martial arts that suit me.. Any suggestion depends on my body?
obviously never had to use for anything else right? Let me guess you watch mma do some grappling and think you are the authority? You are the type to sit there watching a fight.. i would do that.. i would do this i would kick his ass. The first step to any martial art is humility. You have not learned that yet.
The "flips" are actually break-falls. Falling properly and safely is one of the first things a beginner to HKD must learn, in order to train effectively and safely. The break-fall is the most-advanced fall that most students learn along the way, and one specifically designed to allow them to be "thrown" without suffering torn ligaments, muscles or broken bones. Done for real out in the world, hapkido techniques are quite deadly and very effective, particularly against opponents who are not experienced in hand-to-hand fighting or how to counter such techniques. Even experienced martial artists who are naive to being joint-locked, can sometimes react in a panicked fashion. And a properly applied lock, even if you know what's coming and how to counter or less its impact, still hurts a great deal. Ask me how I know! (been there, done that, got the scars to prove it)
@@GeorgiaBoy1961so you confirmed what I said, flip or get broken lol... go with the flow so to speak because you react against it, you will tear ligaments and break bones.
Founder of this art was Daito-ryu Aiki jujitsu student under Takeda Sokaku. When Korea became independent, he implemented lot of stuff from Daito-ryu Aiki Jujitsu. Aikido founder was also Daito-ryu jujitsu student Morihei Ueshiba who also learned under the same teacher Takeda Sokaku. So its not surprising when they have lot of similarities.
I mean, yes or no. In Korea the instructors have no problem causing physical pain. It's a different type of instruction than here. Aikido, they tend to exaggerate everything even though there's typically not a lot of pain. There is some exaggeration here for the purpose of the demonstrations, but I don't doubt that these instructors are actually applying real painful locks. They don't have a tendency to hold back. They're quite masochistic in ways
@@straycat1674 That's one thing I noticed. Aikido seems like a cult and do too many theoretical demonstrations without being pressured to the test. Hapkido on the other hand, happen to implement other arts such as TKD and Judo(Yudo) and actually apply theories and techniques of aiki jiujitsu to the test during the sparring. Bcz I have friends who have black belts in both tkd and hapkido bcz they trained them together. I've seen TKD and Hapkido cross trained together but I rarely seen Aikido cross train with any other art. They seem to live in their own lineage world and worship their root forefathers. When I trained in my Muay Thai gym, I've seen people who join from TKD/Hapkido background but for Aikido, we only had one guy who trained in Aikido and then left in less than a month. Guy can barely kick, never sparred full contact once in his life, wasn't really much of a fighter and didnt want to adapt much. But TKD/Hapkido guys were willing to train, adapt and learned conditioning and learned to strike with various limbs other than kicks. Its why I have respect for TKD/Hapkido guys once they cross train or transition to any art.
@@EdDy4RheelZ Don’t get me wrong, aikido guys have a great sense of balance. But they’re taught some very bad habits. Now I understand part of avoiding Andrew in the fall is to go with it, that way when you hit the ground it’s just not a bunch of energy coming to a dead stop. You’re flowing through the technique. But they overcompensate with it. They reach out and hand you their hands and arms. I’ve never really seen as a combat art. I don’t think the founder ever really intended it to be a combat aren’t either. As far as HKD, the biggest issue we have is that the popularity in size of it as well as any martial art makes that you’re gonna have people who just don’t understand what they’re doing, teaching. You have more bad schools than you do good. And again this is the same issue with most martial arts. HKD instructors throughout the years have integrated other things into what they do to try and create something more effective. But when it comes to demonstrations, we’re no different than anybody else. We try to make it look as good as possible showing you theoretically what the fight would look like if it went perfectly for us. It’s just a demonstration is how it goes. And that’s what this video is, a demonstration. Not a real fight. As far as combining taekwondo with HKD, well the problem is traditional HKD kicks differently than taekwondo. They snap at the knee and the power comes from that snap for the most part. Acid comes from the hip. We try to put the hip in the body behind it. Another words as we go to Kik or leg is straightening out during the duration of the entire kick and limit contact it with a straight leg and I still have the power coming from the knee it comes from the hip. Now it’s a little slower of a kick at first. But the practice you develop that speed. As far as HKD being taught in TKD, The problem with that is you’re always going to focus on one art and one arts always going to suffer. And in taekwondo schools, that’s the bread and butter. Children are the bread and butter. So we are getting is not really HKD but HKD based techniques and defenses. In over 40 years I have never had somebody with a black belt in a T Katie @H Katie school come in and I automatically honor their black belt. More often than not they don’t know enough, they don’t do the techniques appropriately for us. Always having to do a lot of correction because far too often many TKD instructors don’t actually take HKD, they do seminars or they have people come by and teach them a few techniques at a time every few months. But the basic fighting ideology, they’re fighting style their movements it’s all TKD. They still fight like a taekwondo practitioner with just some Hapkido thrown in. In HKD, we typically pick on TKD/HKD practitioners big time. We don’t consider them legitimate HKD students. Hell, I’ve had combat H Katie people coming to the old studio back east and was still incredibly disappointed. But that’s a whole Nother story. And unfortunate like I said you’re gonna have a lot of very bad teachers and schools. Far too many seminar masters out there, far too many studio masters and experts. And far too many people who truly don’t understand or grasp what they are doing.
why does everyone think that if something havent been used in MMA , it wont work? MMA is also a sport with rules and weight classes. There are no rules on the street
And where has this ever worked on the streets? What MMA rules would any of these "techniques" break in MMA? These moves work in the WWE and nowhere else
Chan Sung Jung (Korean Zombie) has a 4th degree black belt in Hapkido and Dong Hyun Kim has a 1st degree. Both big names in UFC and MMA in general. MMA = Mixed Martial Arts not everyone is just BJJ and Muay Thai though that is the most common. GSP was kyokushin Karate, Anderson Silva taekwondo, Ronda Rousey Judo and so on. As long as you have a form of stand up like boxing, Muay Thai, karate, taekwondo and a ground game like Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, catch wrestling, sambo, judo then you’re good.
@@EricTheActor805 well, have you asked people who practice Hapkido if they have used it? As to what rules will it break ? well, breaking bones and dislocating joints for instance. but Okay, if you know everything , then that's fine. Nothing else to say here. you're right .
if martial artists that do [Karate: Kyokushin, Wado-Ryu, & Goju Ryu], American Kenpo, Eskrima/Kali/Arnis, Savate, Muay Thai & MMA learn and bend together with Hapkido it would make them sufficient enough to survive out on the streets!
Judo/Boxing combination is best, and if you have time, do some BJJ as well. If you dont like boxing, which is really good to learn how to dudge punches, then try taekwondo or kickboxing.
@@KarmasAB123 yeah, but being where it came from (and SK being so small) you actually can have access to a legitimate hapkido dojang, instead of mister overweight and his army of middle schoolers

Japanese Aikido and Korean Hapkido refer to themselves as "sister arts," but not because hapkido comes from aikido. It is because both arts have roots in Japanese jujitsu. Hapkido is its own system, since when Korea separated from Japan after WWII, the founders of modern hapkido took it in their own unique direction.

@@taylorbee4010 I know, but it would be weird to have one if you didn't need it to lean on. And if a cop knew about the connection between hapkido and canes, they might think you were looking for trouble.
