Hapkido
Hapkido is a Korean martial art with similarities to Japanese Aikido. ‘Hapkido’ means ‘The Way of Harmony of Mind and Body’.
The Hapikido syllabus teaches Aikido-type roll-outs and wrist/joint attacks. It also teaches punching, kicking and striking techniques, including the peculiarly Korean high circling kicks. Hapkido is primarily a self defence system and there are virtually no sporting connotations. Students wear lightweight tunics with the trousers often darker coloured than the jacket. In some schools, the uniform is entirely dark coloured.
Selected Hapkido clubs within NAKMAS are currently represented.
