Hapkido, Combat Hapkido

[oftheherd1]

Hapkido is a fascinating art and is, at its roots, aikido. More emphasis is placed on kicks and strikes, however. I like hapkido and found it complimented my aikido training. Learn the art and adapt it later. Combat is simple, boiled down and uncomplicated; cool moves look and feel good in class but mostly have no place on the streets.

I think you are a little mistaken. Hapkido and Aikido both are considered to have descended from the same art, no one from the other. But Hapkido is distinctly Korean nonetheless. I would suggest due to their ancestry, each would likely have equal chance on the street.
