BlackI Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 In my opinion Hapkido is a very complete system. They do ground and standing techiniques. In search of the Temple of Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kensai Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I agree with BlackI its a really complete system. Oh and welcome back BlackI long time no see. However, you could cross train in an area of Hapkido that you really like. For example if you really like the ground work in Hapkido do some Judo or BJJ. If you like the Kicking do TKD, or the striking do some Shotokan, Kyokyshin or MT etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karateka_latino Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 For Hapkido.. Take Boxing or Muay Thai for full contact training and conditioning ... And BJJ for better ground fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpkid0ist Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Hap Ki Do is a well rounded art. There realy is no need to cross train, but if this is something you would like to do I second BlackI's suggestion. Cross train in an area that really tickles your fancy. What is your favorite area of combat? Cross train there. 2nd Dan Hap Ki Do: What we do in life echos for an eternity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karateka_latino Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 No matter how much complete any style looks like.... there are always room for improvement.. A style can look complete and well rounded on the paper BUT there's also the Master preferences... maybe the Master likes to join lock and throw more than he likes to Kick, or he likes punch and kick better than ground grappling, etc... I think that's the big problem with the "well rounded/complete" styles.. I'd say Take it, learn from it, and then look what its missing.. No matter how complete a styles looks, you can ALWAYS crosstrain and get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightFighterZero Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I agree, Hapkido is a pretty solid and complete style. If I really wanted to further my knowledge of martial arts, I would go with something involving more striking like Shotokan, or then again if I wanted more kicking there is always TaeKwondo. I am personally going for Hapkido and Shotokan. "Defeat is not defeat unless it is accepted as reality in your own mind" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken_Apprentice Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 What arts most closely resemble the striking aspect of Hapkido, and which most closely resemble the grappling aspect? If one does choose to cross train, is it important to stay close to the "roots" of the art in which you're starting out so as not to get too confused? To that end, what are thoughts on a WC / Hapkido combination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
