Yes, 100 % agree with you. The founder of Hapkido studied in Japan. There are hard feelings because the invasion, and the legal disputes over some territories (islands). On the other side, only Okinawan styles are happy to accept their chinese roots. Best Wishes! :)
Thanks for the reply. I hope you don't mind me asking: have you used Hapkido in a serious situation, and if so, did the experience teach you something more about the application of the techniques.
Patrick, I didn't say the same. I said 'Hapkido is Japanese Aikido with DANCE." Both Aikido and Hapkido are written in Kanji(Chinese charactors) as '合氣道'. Why? Take a look at the following. Aikido, characterized by its grappling techniques, has its roots in one of forms of Samurai martial arts. A Korean Aikido student, Choi, started teaching Aikido in Korea. Koreans pronounce Aikido（合氣道）as Hapkido. In 1950s Korens added dancing to Hapkido and started claiming its Korean original martial art.
While it is true that Hapkido founder Choi-Yong Sool and Aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba both trained in Daito-Ryu AikiJujutsu under Takeda Sokaku, I would argue they have as many or more differences as similarities. In both arts, the Jujutsu roots are very apparent, but Ueshiba's philosophy was extremely peaceful, and to do no harm even to an opponent who was trying to kill you. HKD is designed to stop an attacker asap and can very easily be literally lethal. There are a massive number of strikes and kicks in HKD that are not in Aikido. No doubt influenced from folding in techniques from Okinawan Karate and likely Chinese Kung Fu styles as well. That is why HKD is so widely used by police forces and body guards etc.
how do i get to meet master Jae would love train with him, i have trained with master Geoff Booth and Dr.He Young Kim and master James Allison and Master J.R West
@ChIvAfLoW Not really...Hapkido kicking is subpar to TKD kicking, and the kicking is different. The real emphasis is on the joint locks and throws with a much lesser emphasis on basic kicking techniques.
A good fifty percent of Hapkido is based around Ho Shin Sul this is all wrist arm grab defence. Most of these moves will finish a fight by submitting an opponent!
This is just one set of techniques that all happen to start from wrist grab. There are many, many more techniques in HKD from various other starting positions e.g. sleeve grab, mid-arm grab, shoulder grab, headlock, full-nelson, bear hug, etc., etc. Wrist grabs are usually taught in the beginning as part of the basics. Later on, once proficient in them, it is a natural transition to blocking/diverting a punch attack and then flowing straight into the same wrist/joint lock/throw as the ones shown here. So, no, people don't always attack by grabbing your wrist, but it is a building block for higher level techniques.
Very true. Just about all styles have some basic self defense moves that actually work and they are building blocks to help you in your training. And if you get very proficient in to doing those techniques if some poor sac does decide to grab your wrist, you going to make him crap his pants. You keep practicing then someday all self defense will be like that,,,,, you'll be it the heavy club. Just remember there's always someone heavier than you. Jesus is God
I know I'm late but These are the first techniques taught in Hapkido, which are applicable to punches if you're fast enough. Next techniques are to defend against kicks and other grabs
TKD is a sport really, Hrwang-Do Hapkido is the ancient Korean combat art. Hapkido is far more extensive in the versatility of its techniques. Its a fighting defence form rather than a sport.
Never used Hapkido in serious situation. Be assured if you study long enough it is very effective. My teacher always advocates run first but if left with no option use your skill! I have seen him in action many a time and these techniques when applied properly can be lethal!
The flaw in this technique is in attempt to execute it, the assailant can easily left jab, or left cross, a punch, or grab the executing practitioner by the neck and take the practitioner down with him as he falls..
All Korean marshal arts are just deteriorated copy of Japanese one. Hapkido is Japanese Aikido with dance, tae kwon do is Japanese Shotokan Karate with dance, Kumdo is Japanese Kendo itself. Because of Korean's anti-Japan emotion, they can't help changing names and claiming their original one.

some truth, yet also true that strikes, joints, target areas, weaknesses-- those thngs remain the same, country to country!
how do i get to meet master Jae would love train with him, i have trained with master Geoff Booth and Dr.He Young Kim and master James Allison and Master J.R West
Sir I will practice this techniques..
I like it

I've been studying Hapkido for a few months now. Why are there so many wrist release techniques?
Yes you would be right on that.
A good fifty percent of Hapkido is based around Ho Shin Sul this is all wrist arm grab defence. Most of these moves will finish a fight by submitting an opponent!
Is he grabbing your left hand with his right hand
Is there a reason why wrestlers don't use these moves in competition?
Just wondering why Hapkido focuses on wrist grabs. People don't usually attack by grabbing your wrist right?

This is good Hapkido, I study in Korea and usually some Hapkido in US is not good!

Nope not kidding, 28 years of martial arts experience, instructor in both TKD and Wing Chun. I know a little about what I'm talking about.
ITF tkd?
cool but what if opponent uses his 2 hands and if he is twice the size of u
same thing!
nice
Never used Hapkido in serious situation. Be assured if you study long enough it is very effective. My teacher always advocates run first but if left with no option use your skill! I have seen him in action many a time and these techniques when applied properly can be lethal!
Does this work in a real fight?
It really depends on the school. Some of the strongest kickers i know are Hapkido Practitioners.
hapkido looks cool Elvis was the founder of hapkido!
English speaker at 0:40~ needs to know the BACK of his hand from the PALM.
אהבטי ברמה .עבודה נקיה
The walk away to rear looks so nonchalant, like the dude grabbing the sabanim wasn't a threat in the first place.
I prefer Aikido, but this is still good.
The flaw in this technique is in attempt to execute it, the assailant can easily left jab, or left cross, a punch, or grab the executing practitioner by the neck and take the practitioner down with him as he falls..
they shuld make it an olimpic sport
it is one
What are you kidding me? yeah WTF TKD ITF is another story.
All Korean marshal arts are just deteriorated copy of Japanese one. Hapkido is Japanese Aikido with dance, tae kwon do is Japanese Shotokan Karate with dance, Kumdo is Japanese Kendo itself.
Because of Korean's anti-Japan emotion, they can't help changing names and claiming their original one.
"...with dance" ?!?!? wtf are you talking about?!?!
