I'm trying to decide whether to do Hapkido or Taekwondo. I have studied many things but I have studied Taekwondo the most. I'm switching classes and they offer either one. Should I try Hapkido or stick with Taekwondo? ____________________________________ russian martial arts videos

Having practiced TaeKwonDo in the past.I always wondered how training in Hapkido would be like. To me Hapkido contains a more rounded system of self-defense. The joint locks and throws combined with kicking looks tough.
keep training, Mark

It really will depend on the Instructor(s). No matter what is being provided or may be well rounded, without a good Instructor learning could be impeded. Plus knowing what is being taught. There are many TKD schools that have a basis in Hapkido and teach this as TKD without differentiating it.
I would suggest trialing both to see what best fits you and then make your decision.

Definately go for Hapkido, even Sifu Bruce Lee described Hapkido as a complet art, it is even represented as one of his fights in the Game of Death via Hapkido Master Ji Han-Jae!!!
enjoy and let us know how your Hapkido is getting on

Hapkido... you know like Billy Jack!!!Then again,maybe not. Those were some baaaad!! movies.
What was the line. Oh yeah I remember it now.
"I'm gonna put this right foot up next to your right ear"
"Is that a fact"
"Yes and you know what"?
"What"
"There's nothing you can do about it"
At that time Billy Jack whips up a inside to outside crescent kick and knocks the redneck lawman on his butt.
The only scene I remember from the movie.Classic bad cinema.
keep training, Mark

I was fortunate enough to had a Korean teacher who taught both.
I say go for Hapkido if you want defense
TKD if you want more of a sport

Switch to Hapkido for a change - variety is the spice of life.

My Hapkido instructor never had it. Though his patterns of movement was explained in like a Kata-step form. Something like Japanese Kabuki
