Rarity (relatively speaking)

There doesn't seem to be many places at least in NY that teach hapkido. Compared to other stlyes of martial arts, ( i do know that some tkd schools teach varying amounts of hapkido) Is the there just a small number of practitioners?

Relative to TKD, definitely--though you may find that many schools listed as TKD schools also teach HKD "on the side".

What part of NY? We might be able to help.

Take care

Brothershaw,

I'm in the same boat as you. I really want to learn Hapkido, but I also live in upstate NY. Chris is willing to help with that, though

While not hapkido, Kuk Sool Won is similar. Look on this page and scroll down to New York. Good luck.

I am in the city and i came across about 4 schools that taught hapkido, which compared to the amounts of kung fu, karate , and jujitsu schools is a pretty small number. No longer looking for a hapkido school, although it does seem interesting.
