HISTORY OF HAPKIDO

Hapkido is a Korean martial arts discipline, which literally means "The way of coordination and internal power." Hapkido is a complete martial art in that it consists of dynamic striking and kicking techniques, very similar to Taekwondo, both hard and soft style deflection techniques, throws, takedowns, ground-fighting, and extensive joint locking techniques. Hapkido is the combination of two Korean Martial Arts - Yool Sool which comes from the Japanese art known as Daito-Ryu Aiki-Jutsu and Tae Kyon which is an ancient Korean Kicking Skill. Both Ji Han Jae and Choi, Young Sool were major contributors to this art.
