In this video we take a brief dive into the histories of Aikido and Hapkido, what makes them similar, and what separates them. The way they were both developed, their shared roots, and changes over time are interesting to look at. By Matt Hinkamp

My philosophy is any art is a good art just find the one you feel is good for you and respect the others
Complete Martial arts 💪🥋
It gladdens me to hear at least one other person say that there's no such thing as one art being greater than another and that each individual student and his instructor is what truly decides what works.
I have studied TKD, moved to a new location and thinking about learning some Hapkido.
Wow
I believe Hapkido was originally called Dae Dong Ryu Yu Sool, the Korean translation of Daito Ryu Aiki-Jujutsu. It was later changed to Hap ki Yu Sool and then eventually to its current Hapkido.
I practice Taekwondo, Aikido, and Hapkido, in my opinion hapkido is like a combination of aikido which relies on locks and slams, and Taekwondo which relies on kicks
Hapkido is a very powerful form, I was thrown around by an instructor once as a demo and incredible, if I ever get back in it I would seriously consider this one over all others
Excellent presentation and analysis. I’ve been practicing aikido for many years and I love it, and it was good to see the two arts side by side here. Their shared Daito-Ryu roots are very strong. And I most appreciate the respectful tone you were able to adopt. Very nicely done!
Traditional Jiu Jitsu Ryu say that Hapkido came from them. Not via Aikido.
Hapkido and Aikido do share a lot in common, and learning both can give you 2 different perspectives on the same technique.
But I'm not convinced that Daito Ryu was the only thing that Choi Yung Sul learned in Japan. His history is kind of controversial.
If you look at the very first things that each style teaches to beginners, the curriculum of Hapkido looks almost the same as the Te-Hodoki kata of Asayama Ryu Tai Jutsu, which is a style from the same area as DaIto Ryu,. And in my opinion, Hapkido looks more like that style. A beginner class in Aikido or Daito looks totally different.
I am a long time proponent of Hapkido and have taught this excellent Korean martial art for over 28 years. I have been enriched by learning traditional Hapkido and teaching it, as my actual personal life can be bombarded with frequent personal attacks and the struggle to clear my good name. I am also a teacher of ITF style Taekwon-Do and the two arts compliment each other, very much. The Hapkido makes your Taekwon-Do "better," in terms of free-sparring and also, entering (irimi) and defending yourself. Your defence always climbs up a few notches whenever you train in Hapkido and regardless of the style. After hundreds of hours of practice, I dont have to think about defence and self-protection; it is an automatic response against the most evil of people and thus, I am a formidable foe. At the same time, Hapkido is also a healing and spiritual martial art and it is there where I and many others have found solace with the Hapkido training, the aggressive striking and finishing and the fluidity of nak-bup and ground transitioning. The water principal is also unique to Hapkido and flowing like water allows he who practices it to find peace within his world, and to reconcile it. So, that may be the common denominator between Hapkido, Aikido, and Aiki-jujitsu from which Hapkido sprang from.
I prefer its root , japanese jujutsu. I hate hapkido when they do the demonstration, too much fancy.
I beat up Aikido black belts. Aikido is a fake martial art. Not much more than dancing. In fact, those who do Aikido are more likely to get hurt than if they never took any Aikido lessons because when they take Aikido, they become delusional and it's more like a cult.
hapkido is superior cuz i studied itl… hapkido has hard and soft style with TKD principles- its far superior
the fukin bots here is amazing and ill get banned for 24 hours once again saying that 90 precent of these comments are FAKE
I got my first dan in hapkido in 2017, still training and I appreciate this video a lot. Great vid
I was taking taking classes for many years in Obda Aboda and difi when I was invited to sea a style of art, it was a combination masters class of akido.
I was taught there five that made up the kido. I don't know if it would be proper to state names or if I would state them correct.
But what I understood was the five kidos once mastered made up a style like nothing else could come close to.
But it had a make up like a ninja or secret service and the gathering was secretive, have you ever heard of something like this.
I went to this in 1988, I want say no more to be respectful.
Thanks
The problem with trying to be a "complete" or "ultimate" martial art, you run the risk of becoming a jack of all trades and master of none. In the extreme you end up being mediocre at everything. Hapkido has fallen into this mindset. For a start there are far, far too many techniques in the curriculum. There is a big focus on wristlocks, which are arguably are much less effective than wrestling and judo takedowns. There is hardly any sparring as many of the techniques, which come from Daitoyru Jujtutsu are too dangerous for sparring and therefore not pressure tested. One is never sure if they will ever work in practice, especially a street fight. There is also a heavy emphasis on that mystical ki energy. As for using a bamboo cane for self-defence, who the heck does this today? With fewer people taking it up, I think Hapkido will suffer the same demise as Aikido, which is a shame as it could be much better. But unfortunately that a problem with all traditional martial arts that do not move with the times.
Im actually debating learning tkd an hapkido
Is Hapkido originated from Aikido just like Taekwondo is originated from Karate?
なにも知らずに近所の道場で習ってみたらハプキドーだった、って外国の人はかわいそうだなあ。
そういうの大きけどね。
世界で韓国朝鮮の被害は大きい。
Great video. I studied and received my 2nd dan in Hapkido in the early to late 1970's. Jee In Pak was my teacher from South Korea.
What is difference hankido vs aikido
I don't know anything about hapkido, but aikido is bullshido
Either one seems like it would be good to have in the skillset of a LEO or security worker. One doesn't necessarily want to go to the ground in many real situations. One doesn't necessarily want to choke somebody or beat somebody either…risking arrest, lawsuit, or firing. Having other options is good.
Aikido seems more of a complement to Karate, Kenjiutsu, and/or Jiu-Jitsu.
Hapkido was more offensive as well as defensive.
These are the remnants of old fighting techniques of the samurai. People calling it bullshido don’t understand how far from the truth they really are, just because you have seen one fight where a bullshitter claimed to be a master of a fighting artform does not mean you yourself understand the art
Tenshin Aikido is a hard style
Dang did you know Master Kim 🙏🏾 I see him in your video he had the same trainer as bruce lee and was a general in the Korean Army he was a wonderful guy R.I.P. Master Kim I see him in your video wearing blue he was a men amongst men!!!
