    Q: “What is Hapkido?”

    Hapkido is a comprehensive Korean martial art that focuses on self-defense. It combines techniques such as joint locks, grappling, throwing, striking, and traditional weapon training.

    Q: “How does Hapkido differ from other martial arts?”

    Unlike some martial arts that focus primarily on striking or grappling, Hapkido is a hybrid art that combines both. It also emphasizes using an opponent’s energy against them, making it effective for self-defense regardless of the practitioner's size or strength.

    Q: “Is Hapkido a competitive sport?"

    While Hapkido primarily focuses on self-defense, some schools may participate in competitions. However, the art is not as sport-oriented as martial arts like Taekwondo or Judo. The emphasis is more on practical self-defense than on scoring points in a competitive setting.
