How effective is Hapkido?

Posted on May 1, 2012 by admin| 7 Comments

I’m looking to get back into martial arts and there’s a place in my small town that offers to teach Hapkido,Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi, and Kung Fu. So my question is how effective is Hapkido for self defense? Is it practical? Is there an emphasis on actual fighting, like would I get to practice with a real person who will move and fight back as opposed to just breaking boards or useless crap like that.

I did judo for 3 years and I’m looking for something similar to that, but there’s no Jujutsu places nearby. There’s a BJJ places about an hour away, but I want something that teaches ground and standing fighting.

Thanks.
Yuck. Okay some research shows Hapkido doing stupid flying kicks and other stuff that I don’t have any interest in learning. So if there’s a martial art that can teach me how to fight, and won’t waste time learning stupid high kicks, it’d be nice to know about it. Thanks.

i want to do hapkido but i am also doing taekwondo?

Posted on January 9, 2012 by admin| 8 Comments

hapkido looks great and seems a more realistic martial art to undertake for self defence than taekwondo. i am enjoying taekwondo but i would love to do hapkido as well. however, i dont think i’ll have enough time since i work 4 times a week, i have lots of homework from school and i take taekwondo once a week on saturday. i dont think i could juggle everything to make it fit so what can i do?

is taekwondo good for self defence?

Posted on January 7, 2012 by admin| 7 Comments

i only have one school near me that teaches some form of self defence and thats taekwondo. the man is a 7th dan blackbelt and i went to my first class a few days ago. i was surprised at how hard he worked beginners. towards the end of the class he taught us two self defence moves if we were being attacked from behind (the attacker grabbing you from the neck behind). he showed us two effective moves to escape the situation including what you would do if you were being dragged backwards at the same time. this is the only kind of class like this near me until the city and it is conveniently located as well a s fun to attend, while still building my confidence and strength. is it good for self defence in a real life situation?
thanks
