[@pehunter1]

To those who have watched the video and/or have decided to make an uninformed comment or opinion. I would like to share this with you. As a martial artist who has studied for more than 3 decades, although I am not a Hapkido stylist, I do know that Hapkido is practical. The logo on the back of the instructor's jacket (or "gi") is the Chinese and Japanese word for "energy" or "spirit" and is the second word in the name of this style "Hap-Ki-do." It is written the same as the Japanese word Aikido, although Hapkido has a greater variety of techniques than the Japanese Aikido. Hapkido has kicks, punches, flips, throws, and wrist locks among other things. I am sharing this info for those who don't know anything about Hapkido and assume that it is only has wrist locks or throws.

[@Gwarrior314]

I still have some muscle memory from doing the forms over and over for those 3-4 years as a young teen... Maybe I'll start it up again one day.

[@Qitrainer]

Part of Hapkido is what water principal which requires being flowed and balance in hips and feet doing techniques. Reasons behind water flow development in HapKido is bring a technique to opponent. Your opponent bring your technique out during interaction in Hapkido that what makes learning and being good in Hapkido challenging and practice is different then other style who value hardness over water. To create the water Principle is very hard for strength in NOT strength in a direct line but in circle form of movement using strength as force of action. Balance is key to develop water flow circulation in movement as shape your body. Leaning Hapkido is one point then refining it down to simplest action his the highest level state of person. It is about the person them self relationship to their abilities within Hapkido techniques. It is great ART for mind body and breath.

Wrist locks can submit an assailant immediately upon blocking an attack!! What you see on the video is simply for beginners, try it out for yourself. It's not difficult but the system will challenge you. Hapkido is not for everyone though but if you do like it you'll know it because you'll feel yourself being immersed in the art.

[@mcleb84]

Hapkido, if mastered provides a large array of techniques to deal with any situation. It sort of teaches you how far you can go if needed to save your life. However, my teacher always said stay off the ground at all costs. Even though some techniques might cause your body parts to touch the ground. Hapkido with ground techniques such as BJJ will ensure you have the upper hand always in a self defense situation. Hapkido is made to stop threat or give an attacker months to think twice about attacking someone while they are healing from their injuries if they can. If you want to look at it from a realistic stand point, Hapkido is deadly... Sounds harsh but knowledge of self defense is what will save your life and that is most important.

[@ironmikehallowween]

Hapkido is actually a quite challenging martial art. The Judo style throws, joint locks, flashy kicks, high jumping rolls and falls, are too much for some. as far as the fantastic TKD kicks, most of us can do those kicks as well, but they are not focused on to the extreme as they are in TKD because frankly, they are not very practical or efficient. But, they bring in young students in. In addition to flashy kicks, we have many far Less flashy kicks, designed for sweeps and throws. But, I think the main reason is that we are not an Olympic sport, and never will be. There is also no universally accepted mechanism to pressure test. It is also quite easy to be injured. But, I would say it is certainly one of the most complete systems out there. Aiki Jujitsu, from which Hapkido spawns, combined with powerful Korean style kicks, really only lacks western style boxing techniques, which in my mind, is necessary to add to one’s training. We have take downs, kicks, throws, chokes, joint manipulations of all types. In fact, I think our joint locks of legs, knees, ankles, and feet pretty much nullify the guard. If I get a foot, it’s done. And, they freely give them to me. The problem with Hapkido is not Hapkido. It is how Hapkido is practiced by schools. It needs to be soft because most people are soft, and because they need to make money to stay open. If it’s too hard, no one keeps doing it.

Hapkido, aikido and aikijujitsu spend way too much time on wrist grab techniques. Wrist grabbing was a common attack in feudal Japan because if I could grab your wrist and stop you from drawing your sword I could attack you with mine. We are not carrying swords anymore. Yes, people could still grab your wrists, but if you review street fight videos on KZbin I’m sure it’s pretty hard to find an example. Training time is better spent learning how to defend against strikes, headlocks, and other more common attacks. Additionally one of the problems with Hapkido ( and several other arts) is the amount of time spent on compliant drills. Great way to introduce and learn a technique but if you don’t learn to apply it under pressure against a fully resistant opponent is value is greatly attenuated.

[@hapkidouniversity3954]

Yes and no. You made a good point regarding the way of training “ No sparring (no resistance) vs sparring (pressure / resistance) However, the issue is each student’s goal is different from one another, so school owner should set their program as how they want to run their school.

[@XXX3155]

I feel you don't really know what Hapkido is. A lot of the common attacks you mention is covered in Hapkido. The locks are part of the Art, there's also throws and strikes. It's actually an amalgamation of three different martial arts combined - the striking is from Taekon, the traditional Korean martial art, the throws from Judo, and locks from jujitsu (also, an actual combat based jujitsu from a bona-fide samurai clan). The other issue about resisting opponents is that these can hurt...a lot. I don't think people understand the amount of pain it causes when a simple technique is applied - it hurts a lot and if done incorrectly can be problematic to say the least. I know the whole MMA craze sort of made people think that "realism" is important but there's limitations. There's a reason why you can strike the way you do in MMA - it hurts but it won't cause serious immediate damage

[@Shadowrulzalways]

@@XXX3155 The joint locks and throws are from Daito-Ryu Aiki-JuJutsu. Japanese JuJutsu styles all have mostly throws and such for serious combat. Judo is a much more safer form of JuJutsu. Aiki-JuJutsu uses locks more but also have much more to them. Hapkido is 90% Aiki-JuJutsu but with striking and some Judo.

[@raywideman7157]

This looks an awful lot like aikido. The joint locks, the take downs very familiar And quite painful if you have ever had them applied

[@djkc7486]

It is. Hapkido is a hybrid martial art with lots from Japan. Founder GM Choi lived in Japan for 30 years. After liberation of Korea he brought it back home - a hybrid of Karate (or in Korean they call it Tang Soo Do the open-hand striking art), Judo, and Aikijujutsu (ancestor of Aikido), among other things, including other Korean martial arts like Taekkyeon, and TKD kicks. etc. It's not just one style of techniques.. It has many. (check the wiki page at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapkido ). That's why it's a very Comprehensive Martial Art (see kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4mte62eqrKFp7c ), not a "Mixed Martial Art" (MMA is virtually a trademark of Gracie's BJJ), but it's more of a Hybrid/Comprehensive art. In fact, the Korean word "Hapkido" is practically a direct translation from the Japanese word "Aikido". The "ki" and the "do" have the same meaning (and spelling/sound of course); the only difference is that "ai" in Japanese means "together, unify" (and also "love"), and "hap" in Korean means "weave, coordinate". And actually, if you look at definitions in Google Dictionary, you will see that Aikido translates as "together/unify"(ai) "spirit"(ki) "way"(do), or "way of adapting the spirit"; and Hapkido translates as "weave/coordinate"(hap) "energy"(ki) "way"(do)", or "way of coordinated energy". So, Aikido (or Aikijujutsu) is pretty much an ancestor art to Hapkido. BUT, the difference between the two over all is that Aikido uses more soft/inner ki (spirit) than compared to Hapkido's more hard/outer ki (energy). We tighten up muscles more and shout more (outer) because we not only redirect energy/momentum like Aikido does, but we also use harder counter techniques. Aikido uses defensive techniques with as minimal effort or muscle power as necessary, by instead utilizing the opponents attack/direction/momentum against them, for purpose of self-defense and control or evasion, without the intent to counter necessarily with a violent attack. Its premise is to self-defend and counter-control without ever truly violently hurting the opponent. Hapkido uses these techniques, AND the same ideal/philosophy as well, with respect to human life, but we counter-control with much stronger intent and power, and if needed, (counter) attack with very much deadly violent force, depending on the situation. We can go soft, or we can go hard. :) We actually break boards in Hapkido, since it includes striking art/techniques, unlike Aikido. We also have defense against weapons (guns, knives, etc.) just like in Aikido, but we also have counters which take the gun or knife away and USE IT AGAINST the opponent, cutting major arteries for example. We study anatomy and all the pressure points for purpose of exploitation during counters. It's a very powerful art with a rich history, including celebrities like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Angela Mao, and deep within politics, and training of special forces, green berets, secret service, CIA/FBI, law enforcement; it has a body guard training component; etc. etc. If you wanna see a Hapkido bad ass, check out Chris Garland. His master is GM Ji Han-jae, student of Founder Choi, and was the bad guy in Bruce's Game of Death. My grandmaster comes from GM Kim Jin-pal, via GM Pham of Vietnam who was in charge of Kim's school there after the war. GM Kim has been all over the world with schools. I'm very proud to be a Kim Jin Pal Hapkido practitioner here in Houston. I just got my black belt after 3 years. And I'm just getting started! :) Cheers.

[@djkc7486]

I'll tell you a funny story. I had watched some Aikido videos one day before my Hapkido class. It was an Aikido master showing how to roll.. doing rolls. It's very graceful, Aikido.. soft and smooth.. effortless. So, in my Hapkido class, during our rolling exercises, I tried to do one roll Aikido-style. So, instead of getting in fighting position, then stepping and using power and tightening muscles and shouting while rolling, like we do in Hapkido (using outer/hard ki), I instead relaxed my body, had my right leg already leading, calmly/softly extending my right arm out, and then after short soft inner meditative preparation, went for the Aikido style roll (you know, where it's like a smooth 'C' curve along your body side, smooth, graceful, and you come up fully standing, no problem?). Well, during the roll, my left pinky somehow got caught in between a couple of my toes!! (LOL, I'm so embarrassed about this). And, my small(pinky) distal phalanx (tip of my pinky) got HYPER-EXTENDED!! My pinky finger was crooked!! But I finished the class, no problem. I had capsulitis for weeks, though; having to constantly exercise it so the ligaments don't freeze up during healing. What had happened was, because I didn't use hard ki to tighten up my body, muscle, hands or FINGERS, nor used shouting, I was more prone to injury!! So, that's also one other thing we also learn & train in Hapkido -- PROTECTION, as in, HOW TO TAKE IT, and TAKE IT HARD!! We have tolerance/endurance training exercises. In Japanese Judo, and other martial arts (perhaps Aikido too I'm sure), they call it "ukemi". Ukemi is the art of falling, being throw, or being the "attack dummy", without being injured. This is not just for the safety of being a training partner (or "uke") in a class/school, but can be used/trained for serious real world street application too.. It really makes you TOUGHER!!! I'm not sure what Aikido has for making one TOUGH. But anyway, to finish my story -- if I had used Hapkido's hard/outer ki, and tightened my muscles, put ki into my joints and body, and shouted, I would have protected my joints, my hand, my fingers, my pinky more. :P :D :)

@@thijsgeurts5003 That's what it's all about! Self defense, that is. Keeping in one piece, and building tolerance & toughness, being able to take most anything, no matter your body type. Muscles and ki give power and strength; but ukemi and ki give toughness and protection. Even a weakling can have toughness (a la, Steve Rogers, Captain America, "I could do this all day" while getting beat up by the bully). :P Also, the attacking partner in training has just as much responsibility, and is just as important (or more), than the one defending or being tested. If the sparring partner that is giving the attack and taking the counters, takedowns, falls and/or flips (with ukemi) does not do it properly and give it their all, it's a disgrace/dishonor/misrepresentation of the art and of their master.

There's only one problem with properly applied joint locks. They are based on the notion that the person would rather go along with it to avoid the pain. Some will resist just to dare you to cause at least minimum damage. And some will do it, because they won't mind the pain.

[@XXX3155]

A bit of an old comment but I'm going to bite because this was stupid. Part of these locks is that more you push back more it hurts. When you see these people tilt or move towards a specific direction it's because they're in a lot of pain and they move instinctively towards that general line of direction. Seriously, if you've ever experienced it you'll know, unless you have nerve damage you're not going to say you don't feel pain. The smarter thing would have been if you mentioned the reaction time and practice required to use this in an actual setting I'm saying this comment is stupid because you're talking out of your @$$ and know jack from what you just said

Normally a class would consist of rolling, break falls, basic kicks and stretching, Judo type throws, followed by self defense techniques, which were similar to Aikido joint locks, only they were combined with throws and striking techniques, utilizing elbows, knees, fist, or feet. Such techniques were called “finishing techniques” designed to incapacitate the opponent. Then more stretching and advanced kicking drills. Always ended in light contact sparring from day one. To me it only lacks western style boxing techniques. The ground fighting techniques are certainly there. It was just seldom emphasized as most students just wanted to do the cool exciting stuff. Getting thrown on the floor and choked didn’t seem to interest most students back when I taught. I think it’s just the reality of trying to grow school memberships. Like BJJ these days starting on the ground. Apparently, people still don’t like being slammed in the ground.

[@usmartialartsfilmfestival8227]

could the average hapkido student use this in a real street fight where stufff is happening fast and random. or even against a MMA fighter?

You do realize they teach this in the military too. It depends on the “average”.

HAPKIDO is a really good martial art.

[@fritzkreisler2330]

If you enjoy this style and is your hobby or whatever, that is great. As long as you do not believe it is a good style for self defense, because it can put you in harm's way moreso than without it Looks great in the movies!

[@soundtreks]

Depends. If you run into the run of The mill hothead with no fighting skills, I imagine some of these techniques would work. If you run into an mma guy, then maybe not. If you run into a guy with an edged weapon, doesn’t matter- you will be dead with any style except gun-fu.

[@Shadowrulzalways]

These techniques do work. I would love it of you went to the man himself and challenge him.

[@felixlinquist]

My take on this is don't just stand there do something. Great respect to the Hapkido master. Big fan of Billy Jack movies!

LOL at the people saying joint locks would never work in a real situation. Cops all over the world use joint and wrist locks against thugs, and you can’t get any more real than that.

[@NormanScyth]

The problem is these are static attacks. The guy is playing along willingly and exaggerating how "incapacitated" he is by any technique. The air elbow didn't even come within 3 inches of his face and he flung himself back with fake force.

Interesting joint lock from Hapkido 👍

[@neilrennie5093]

Love it

[@yldach-r8]

Причина не эффективности таких приёмов в их долгом применении, то есть на одно единственное движение атакующего причём в очень статической форме минимум 4 движения защиты, причём динамика скорости каждого движения разная, что заранее создаёт проблему его исполнения. Нужно просто признать это. Причем основа боевых практик не в ожидании нападения, когда ждёшь обязательно чего нибудь дождешься пропущенного удара к примеру.

Vast majority of attacks are the so called sucker punch from ambush or letting a threat get into close range to punch or headbutt you. Hapkido is still effective if you strip out useless technique for a more practical core.
