TAEKWONDO
Originally developed for the Korean military, Taekwondo has evolved into the most popular martial art in the world. Although it consists of realistic self-defense and punches, Taekwondo generally focuses on kicking – the hardest striking ability a human can deliver.

HAPKIDO
Hapkido is a Korean martial art whose name is sometimes translated as “the way of coordinated power.” It comprises thousands of techniques and encompasses all forms of martial skills, from extensive joint locking techniques, throws, take-downs, and ground-fighting to dynamic kicking techniques, strikes and punches similar to Taekwondo, and both hard and soft style blocking techniques.
The goal of Hapkido is not to meet an opponent’s force with direct force, but to redirect it using a circular motion, and then to counter the attack with a powerful circular combination of techniques. It is an art that can be put into action from any distance thereby making it compatible with many other styles and personalities. Using proper Hapkido techniques, a 110 lb. person can bring down someone who is three times their own weight.
