Hapkido

Hapkido (also spelled hap ki do or hapki-do; ) is a highly eclectic Korean martial art. It is a form of self-defense that employs joint locks, grappling and throwing techniques of other martial arts, as well as kicks, punches, and other striking attacks. There is also the use of traditional weapons, including knife, sword, rope, jool bong (nunchaku), cane, short stick (dan bong), and middle-length staff (joong bong, gun (analogous to the Japanese jo), bo (Japanese)) which vary in emphasis depending on the particular tradition examined.
