Hey guys. Just wanted to ask a few questions regarding Hapkido schools in NYC.
Firstly, I have martial arts experience. I have/had a junior black belt in Seido Karate and a brown belt in Choi Kwang Do. After doing CKD I fell in love with Korean MA but sadly there are no CKD schools in NYC I have to look elsewhere. I'm a big fan of circular movement, not snapping the knees out on kicks or snapping out the elbows on punches.
I checked out these 2 TKD schools near my house but it's all kids! Even the advanced class I see mostly kids so that's clearly not for me being 26 in a class of 14 year olds. I would love if they were good though because both are within 5 blocks and that's a plus around winter instead of taking a trip to the subway and riding somewhere further from home.
Truthfully I would love to find a good, traditional HKD school that does not try to combine both TKD and HKD into one class session. I find that a coach trying to teach two arts in one class does a disservice to everyone.
So does anyone know some good traditional HKD schools in NYC (my zip code is 11421). What would be cool is one that teaches TKD also, but in a different class because I would love to learn both.
Thanks.
