[viskous]

[Goju_boi]

Let's remember that the purpose of these threads is to discuss the differences and similiarities between the arts and not which one would win in a fight.

Thanks.

I wouldn't say it's MUCH better -however , i would go with kyokushin any day - , kyokushin is 70 % striking while hapkido is 70 % grappling , and both are aggressive . Kyokushin and hapkido complement each others , cross training in both makes you an impressive fighter .

Is there any form of tournament competition in hapkido ????

Where do you get the stats that claim HKD is 70% grappleing?

Y2 I answerd this question on the Topic is HKD Brutal.

But I'll give it to you again along with the system I've trained.

b3n who do you train under in Aussie land.?

I must admit, although they are merely competition rules, i found the kyokushinkai competitions to be a tad odd, with the no-face striking. Could create a bad habit of not defending. Also i noted the competitions were done close-quarters, which exposes them to grapple assaults, yet i did not note any grappling actions. These two issues could be problematic for the practitioner.
