Hello ya’ll

I’m a long time lurker and fond of reading all the posts created here in the forum and I just got registered because I got interested on this topic. Anyways, I am a practitioner of both arts (TKD & HKD) for over 16 years and my assessment is TKD has few qualities compared to HKD when it comes to sparring (actual not point system). Tried and sparred with a competent TKD instructor and I would say the level of fight was incomparable. TKD is good for kicking and screaming but the real deal is Hapkido. I have a personal student (former TKD for 8 yrs) told me that TKD can’t do anything when it comes to street fighting. Like situations where you are cornered and couldn’t do but fight back. There are still fancy kicks that a HKD practitioner do. Though, the effectiveness of the Art proves that TKD is just like a baby learning its first steps. They are nice to see when it comes to forms and breaking boards. Korean military trained in Hapkido than TKD. Just my 2 cents.


Sa bum nyim!

"way of coordinating power." A Korean martial art characterized by kicking without retraction and composed of three primary skills: nonresistance when meeting force, circular motion to countering and attacking, and the water principle - total penetration of an enemy's defenses.

here's a picture of a Hapkido --

i read somewhere that Hapkido's roots traces itself to Aikijujutsu...

Choi Yong Sul, its founder, was also a student of Sokaku Takeda. O'sensei Morihei Ueshiba (the founder of AIKIDO) was also a student of Sokaku's in Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu...

ive been practising taekwondo for sometime now and here's my realization. its quite hard to use taekwondo when it comes to street fight. street fights are usually close range, so one cant use those kicks much often. but when it comes to sports, taekwondo rocks!! you cant see those action anywhere else.

the best thing to do with taekwondo is that combine it with other martial arts.
