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.

How do you find legit martial arts instructors?

Posted on April 20, 2012 by admin| 7 Comments

By legit i mean instructors who are actually good at the martial arts and know what theyre doing. I know a good way would be to go to a couple classes but it could be hard to tell by just a couple classes. The reason i ask is i have been practicing hapkido for 3 years, and i want to broaden my experience and learn Kung Fu and Tai Chi as well. i know this could be hard to fit all three classes in but its something i really want to do so how does one choose a good instructor?

What are the different types of Kung Fu and Tai Chi?

Posted on December 27, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

Recently I decided I wanted to practice martial arts; and I’m looking into Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Karate. Researching them I realized there are different types of each. The different types of karate was easy to find and understand. But I can’t find a clear explanation for Kung Fu or Tai Chi! Could someone list every (If possible, not sure how many there are) Kung Fu and Tai Chi style and explain what makes them different from each other? A brief history might help too… Sorry for the trouble and thanks in advance.
