The Practice of
Hapkido
Hapkido is a martial art practiced primarily for self-defense, not a competitive sport like Taekwondo or Judo. Most of the techniques learned in Hapkido training are designed to immobilize or seriously injure an attacker. They can be practitced in class safely if students learn to control them and use control when executing the techniques. In a competitive situation there would be no safe way to exercise control and still compete to win.
We are looking to expand this seciton on Hapkido practice, if you would like to be involved in developing this non-profit site in the aim of promoting Hapkido and other martial arts around the world, then contact us.
