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

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?

Why UFC says jump kicks are fancy moves that never work, but Karate and others use them?

In karate classes, they teach jump kicks. and in taekwondo too. The UFC dudes who try jump kicks always fail thus the UFC thinks jump kicks are a waste of time.

Then why Karate and Taekwondo and many eastern martial arts still teach them ..and i think they regard them as efficient.

do you really think self defence for women would work in an actual crisis?

think about it, if u were actually being mugged would you be thinking “oh yeh, i remember this time in self defence where i did this” and then throw the guy to the ground. you would naturally panic and scream your lungs out. only the determined and focused would concentrate on escaping. agree?
i have that quality and i am learning taekwondo

Do you have to register ?

I studied karate for a short time, and I always heard that if you’re a black belt, you have to register with the police, and if someone picks a fight, you have to tell them you’re a black belt. Are these true ?

What is the difference between Karate and Taekwondo?

I’m trying to find out what the differences are so I can make my decision on which is best for me and my 3 year old daughter. I’ve been looking at schools but I don’t know what the differences in the types of martial arts are. Thank you all for you time.
