I have trained in almost a dozen combat arts and hold my 5th in Hapkido. It is by far the most aggressive martial art I have EVER studied. I have had Krav Maga students, Kung Fu students, Combat Hapkido students and all across the Karate realm for students. The biggest problem you will find in Hapkido are that there is a proliferation of Tae Kwon Do schools teaching a watered down version or simply just their TKD with some HKD techniques rolled in to it and passing it all off as real and pure Hapkido. Hell, we do not kick the same as TKD or even train the same. Find yourself a good Hapkido school that will also teach you how to strike and implement your foundation techniques into your striking repritoir and has not forgotten their ground work and you will be amazed at what you become. And just so people know. Hapkido DOES NOT come from Tae Kwon Do and or Aikido. Both Aikido and Hapkido stem from Diato Ryu Aiki jujutsu and the founders first official student when he returned to Korea from Japan was a Judo black belt. Defense against ground fighters as well as ground work from this Judo BB was an integral [art of HKD in the beginning and many good schools will still teach that Judo based foundational aspect as well. And being that many TKD schools teach a watered down form of Hapkido or some Hapkido techniques for their self defense portion, many people mistakenly think that there is more of or a deeper connection between the two. I have even had TKD instructors try and tell me that HKD is just advanced TKD, until they went on the mat with me and realized they knew nothing of HKD and our techniques.
very interesting...I cannot decide between learning TKD or HKD
leepakim There is nothing wrong with learning both. TKD would be best if you wish to compete. HKD is not a competition art, and HKD as taught in 99% of TKD schools is not true HKD. Now there will be exceptions. But the requirements for us to get black belt if you train no less than 3 hours a day 5 days a week and 4 on Saturday will make you eligible to test in 3 1/2 years. If you learn TKD and HKD (real HKD not a watered down version) then you should tack that on to the time requirement for 1st Dan in TKD. This should put you at between 6 1/2 to 8 years, unless you are putting in the time required PLUS the time required for TKD. But this would require you to be at the studio for 4-6 hours a day virtually every day training in both.
The big problem with most TKD/HKD studios that claim to teach both Is that what they’re actually doing our teaching HKD based grab techniques and everything else is TKD. Or they teach a limited number of each Katie techniques based upon limited knowledge and understanding and the rest tends to be TKD. I have never once had somebody who is God working in a TKD studio for HKD what I would honor their black belt in mind. They just do not know enough. As well, we fight differently, we punch and kick it differently, we train differently. Our training, the way we train is required for the way we fight and move and think.
So whatever you want to study just be honest with yourself while you’re doing it and what you want to get out of it as well as what you’re actually getting out of it.
@@straycat1674 hi thanks for the answer! My main motiviation is self defense. What would you recommend if this is my main motivation?
I liked the experiential, factual basis of your comments - nice to see in a thread on the internet, where it's typically kind of rare.
I do not claim significant martial arts expertise, so what follows is just opinion and I'll admit to the possibility of being in error. But based solely on this video, it looks to me like hapkido offers a mix of excellent athletic training, training in some genuine self defense techniques, and also training in very showy techniques that may have little real-world applicability. Krav Maga, on the other hand, looks heavily focused on practical self defense, with athletic training perhaps being secondary and training of showmanship being next to nonexistent.
That is my first impression, but it's based solely on this video and a limited background myself. It's helpful to have comments from someone of your background provided for a different perspective.
Is hapkido effective against bjj?
For me, Krav Maga was the obvious choice to learn, simply because it does not matter that I'm a small guy. It does not require you to have "honor," it is all about survival at the cost of the attacker's wellbeing. You can take them down with style, but what matters to me is taking them down as quickly and effectively as possible. All I care about is going home at the end of the day.
And you don`t have to be extremely flexable.
Joshua Reyes that's pretty much what defending yourself is suppose to be. Fuck that "honor" bullshit. If you have to squeeze someone's cock and balls just to live another day, there's no shame in it. Screw mastering a art. It's all about taking the threat down and going home at the end of the day
I"ve been practicing martial arts for over 50 years and Hap Ki Do for over 35 and Hap Ki DO is the most advanced fighting system there is. It encompasses everything. Why be limited to just what Krav Maga is? Learn as many techniques as you can only then can you understand what's ideally suited for you and your capabilities. You'll have a much better understanding of the body dynamics. Like Bruce Lee said in The Tao of Jeet Kune Do take what works best for you and perfect that and how can you do that if you limit yourself? Lol! Honor? Honor has no place in self defense only survival.
Poppy Weller lol
At the end of the day both are brutally effective
HAPKIDO is a really good martial art.
I agree ❤️
To be honest than actually even matched but I don't think jump kicking would work
@@raziwade3595 Depends on your setup for the jump kick. Use bait to your advantage, make them scared of you then throw it. That kick has a lot of power in it and can end a fight very fast.
@@raziwade3595 Jump Kicking only works if you can really generate more power then standing (most can't) AND you can surprise your opponent. (Rarely happens) :-)
You are wise man. I like you.
What's the point of a "VS" video, if no distinction is made? Only useful for people already in the know.
For those still wondering: Hapkido look at the oriental people.
clickbait
Hapkido is basically those that are dancing and krav maga is those that are running after hitting .
@@chohyunil3804 There is no "stronger". That label belongs to the practitioner, not the art.
The best one is that which has more training behind it....
Well said... Hard work is the key
@JARED DE ROTHSTEIN I think you didn't get the point of the statement
Both pretty respectful and deadly martial arts
this two Martial arts are great, the both are extraordinary, bravo for krav maga and hapkido
Holy heck... A positive comment. Thank you on behalf of people who appreciate that
@JEFFREY EPSTEIN It's also namely a principle/mindset to win a fight. KM is both a martial art, and not at the same time. Interesting stuff. Although on another note, those HKD jointlocks are sexy af. Looks painful as hell to get trapped in one.
Krav Maga is not Martial Art, it is self defense. You don't simulate fights in class, you simulate an aggression and trains the reaction to it. Your only objective is to get away of the dangerous situation.
I like all the techniques but the one thing I discovered in my battles is common sense with tactical training equals survival instinct
Hapkido is the root of Krav Maga! That's a similar look.
Krav Mags was originally from Hapkido, it was introduced by a Korean worker (Hapkido master) of the Daewoo Construction Company.
His students learned Hapkido it was in Middle East in the early 1970s (1973?). One of his student, Israeli man added boxing etc. and then change name Hapkido to Krav Maga.
Hapkido is the root of Krav Maga! Krav Mags was originally from Hapkido!

This fighting style for conflict situations was created in the 1940s to train a rebel Jewish army - the Haganah. With the independence of the State of Israel in 1949, the creator of the technique, Hungarian Imi Lichtenfeld (1910-1998), trained the army and police force of the new country
Krav Maga is a synthesis of techniques designed for self defense on the street. It is a rapid reaction of the body. Hapkido is intelligent, each technique and each strike have a reason to be. Hapkido was designed to fight and defend with people with no knowledge and with people who know martial arts. It would prepare your body and your mind as well and how to stay calm under difficult situations.
Hapkido the best..love you HAPKIDO
Man, i prefere Krav Maga, but i would love if a Hapkido dojo was open in my city
In my view, I just simply found that Krav Maga is very practical. Simple technique but very deadly.
I'm number 4 in see that ✌😄
How wonderful! 👌😃
All the best 😊
I’ve done Krav Maga the whole time I did I was like do I really need to do all this to a person now I realize how deadly it really is
Because Krav Maga was designed for battlefield to be used as soon as possible with no condideration for the oppnent. The other martial arts are useful in other scenarios. Tai Ji mostly for health. Karate for self improvement and boxing of sorts for entertainment. Each style can be used in combat given circumstances , even Tai Ji but you need to know the purpose behind creation.
Krav Maga was created in my country ..
The thing I learned from Hapkido over a decade was that virtually everything you learn either keeps you from being hurt, or is a method to really seriously injure another person. But, and I emphasize, but, you need to keep practicing to retain the skills.
If you have the basis, you can use videos to remember and practice, take a look at Dr. Kimm's Hanmudo Series 👍🏾
💪 Don´t Stop!
Beautifully done
Cool Video!👏👏great self-defense!
I think the only way to beat them is to not hand any of your arms and legs to them otherwise they'll grab and fold you like a sheet of clothing.
Hapkido is the art of folding clothing with the people still inside.
Not sure of the point of this video? This isn't a comparison but a demonstration of both. I am a 3rd Dan in Hapkido and 2nd Dan in Krav Maga. When mixed together....Efficient.
Thanks for your answer . One question though . the only thing that worries me is I don't see ground fighting skills in neither of them. Do you learn ground fighting in KM and HKD at some point?
Scott Farley there's no belt system in krav mega
@@BoratfromKazakhstan Yes we do have ground combat in Krav Maga despite what many people say. The thing about Krav is we try to avoid the ground, since it's a dangerous place. There can be glass shards on the road that will get in you, there can be more allies of the enemy approaching and you also can't run away. We know how to defend against it but we avoid the ground as much as possible.
There is ground work in Hapkido. I agree though with Krav philosophy to avoid the ground but in case you are thrown there it is good to know.
@@miguelrobb5719 wrong
I’m going to learn both of these martial arts but it will take some time
I've been a black belt in Hapkido for my third year now. I am very interested in trying Krav Maga
Saucyzzz I have two black belts. One in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and then Hapkido. I’ve been doing Krav Maga for 4 years now. Boxing all my life. Same for Muay Thai and wrestling
@@Mena_ce did you learn ground work in your hapkido sillabus?
Hapkido é uma fusão de Aikijujutsu da escola Dao tyyto com Kwrando. o Aikido tem a mesma paternidade do Aikijujutsu mas não tem a outra somada. Está última se assemelha mais ao estilo Shaolin do Norte.
Hapkido is one of most hardest martial art in the world. Hapkido is formed of Judo,Aikido, Taekwondo and Karate.. It is a very tiring sport and it wants a high strength.
UYGHUR HISTORY GREAT TURKIC also, it doesn’t work.
@@JEYMAC why not?
I am second dan in hapkido, I believe I am the youngest guy to have the second dan in Brazil with only 17 years old.
@@vidademacho8890 but does hapkido work?
@@SuperMan-em7nh depends. what does work means to you ?
Hapkido is my favorite martial ART ever
Tienen mucho parecido las dos artes marciales el Krag Maga y el Hapkido
He visto muchos videos (nunca una clase en persona) de KM donde hacen muchas técnicas iguales a las que hacemos en HKD... muchas!
yo creería que al ser ecléctico en su desarrollo se pudieron tomar elementos de HKD o de sus bases (tal vez Daito-Ryu Aiki Jujutsu) 🤷♂️
Hapkido ❤
Been training Hapkido for 22 years is a great martial art.
@ste vo Yes I do like it.
Krav maga👏👏👏
Is this a late present I love it
want to know how i fight??
ultra insticnt
Self explanatory. Hapkido has that flashiness and pizazz while Krav Maga is straight to the point, take no prisoners approach.
Excellent video..like always.
I'll be honest krav maga always seemed like the embodiment of arrogance in martial arts
Amazing video brother
Thanks bro!
For those of you who want to see another aspect of Hapkido, combat hapkido, take a look at this video here.
ua-cam.com/video/dMPw3qFMTqo/v-deo.html
bottom line, Krav Maga and Hapkido have the same idea; borrowing multiple disciplines into creating a single effective self defense art that is simple and easily taught to anyone and everyone with little rules and regulation. The ultimate goal is survival.
i love hapkido
Gracias por compartir
These materialart as same as Taekwondo !!
Awsome ... video bro 😍😍😍
Thanks bro! :)
People always think hapkido is not real and senseless in combat. It depends on the the person using it. And it can be as deadly than the next martial art. If you know what you're doing.
Hapkido 🙏🙏🙏❤
I more trust krav maga for streetfight,but i have friends on hapkido and they respect me,i respect them too
Combine them both create a perfect blend
idk if I should learn karate or hapkido I am being told hapkido has more aggressive strikes and is all in all better can I get some advice?
Real combat-effective aikido is hard to find in the United States.
This ain't Aikido, amigo.
Kravmaga is more real combat oriented. But those take down defences are!... 😉.
Hapkido is smooth. It would be a real asset, if a hapkido fighter trains his techniques in real hard(less rules kind of!) Sparring and multiple opponents(like kravmaga guys do!).
Hapkido does do that. It’s just depends on the school. But the ones you saw are known for real combat.
Vale tudo is most real unarmed fighting style
@@oneguy7202 ive necer heard of thag but ill tske a look
Most hapkido black belts think fighting multiple opponents is easier than one
it appears that Kravmaga is more combat based, and hapakido looks like sport oriented style but with the right person and training they can both be lethal.
Krav maga is a freaken military defense and counter technique. Hapkido is more for normap civilians
No martial art is gonna save you from a handgun, that's for sure. Regarding whatever else, it's up to you and how hard and much you train, as already said
Wie immer. Hapkido sieht gut aus und ist schön anzusehen um den Gegner mit viel Gefuchtel fertig zu machen.
Krav Maga ist realistisch, knallhart und erbarmungslos. Man bricht sofort die Distanz zum Gegner und zerbröselt ihn. Auf der Straße hat man nicht die Zeit dem Gegner mal eben einen eleganten Highkick zu geben oder ihn mit verdrehten Armen auf den Boden abrollen zu lassen. Vor allem nicht wenn es mehrere bewaffnete Gegner sind.
Trozdem muss jeder für sich entscheiden was er macht.
#ownopinion
Wow Korean style Aikido~!
To bad we cannot have a verbal conversation to exchange thoughts ideas. Although this video emphasizes Hapkidos Flashiness of Kicks and acrobatics and Krav Maga a practical No Nonsense No Frills type of Self Defense. leaving out Hapkidos grappling Joint locks throws Take downs Booth are Applicable in a fight depending on the situation as close quarters or other factors. Krav Maga uses Brute strength and hard Blocking Punches Kicks There is no Pressure point Grabs or strikes were as Hapkido uses both plus a softer approach more flexible . In fact I believe Krav Maga becomes useless in an Older citizen with healyth issues later on were as Hapkido is more effective using Cane belt techniques
Sempre que me perguntam o que é Hapkidô? Eu respondo; é Grav Maga. Mas o que é Grav Maga? É Hapkidô....Ambos usam técnicas de defesa pessoal, defesa de armas brancas e fogo. E o estilo de luta é o MMA. Por isso Hapkidô e Grav Maga é referência nos maiores exércitos, marinha e aeronáutica do mundo todo
El hapkido es un arte militar, no es un deporte como el taekwondo u otros. Siendo este muy completo debido a la mezcla de muchas otras artes marciales como por ejemplo el judo, el aikido( movimientos circulares para no dañar al oponente, hapkido semi-circulares para destruir al agresor), el taekeon. Etc etc..
El Hapkido original sale del Dayto Ryu Aikijujutsu que más bien es un arte samurai. No tiene que ver nada con lo militar, en cambio el Taekwon-Do original si fue creado para la milicia con técnicas de patadas, puños y rompimiento utilizando la fuerza. Ambas artes son letales pero solo estoy aclarando
Coincido en q es una arte marcial utillzado por los militares. Pero con lo de que tiene Judo no. Si vamos a sus comienzo, y lo dije anterioemte, el hapkido desciende del Jiujitdu daito ryu, y el mismo Judo es descendiente del jiujutsu, tal vez te referias eso. Pero si ves un entrenamiento de judo y uno de hapkido no se parecen en nada. De hecho en el hakkido te pegan hasta cdo estas en el piso.
@@carloscenteno6540 coincido

I think krav maga has the best
Hapkido is a real Martial Art and Krav Maga is a Jewish Art.
This is a dumb video, I thought they were ask "Got Milk" after the video ended.
Both are great and dangerous to any attacker
Supar
great video
Considero al Krav Maga, más efectivo que el Hapkido...Saludos.🙏
Por?
@@alvaro267 por que el krav maga es mas tecnico y es mas vilento ala hora de ejecutarce y utilisas la fuersa y el peso de tu contricante en su contra
Con cuantos hapkidocas has pelado mi amigo ?
@@dannyeltovar9222 claramente no sabes de artes marciale. Asi que no es necesaria una conversacion al respecto.
krav maga is based off hapkido (traditional early ver); look at the moves allot are the same which is older though?
What?? No krav maga is not based on hapkido wtf
Tradicional es el hapkido y el aikido !!
it is the aikido technique
this is just a point scoring exercise by Krav Maga to try and legitimise their art, most krav I have come across, give their game away through excess tension and aggresion, most Krav Maga trained is not the IDF Krav, but a misunderstood, cross of boxing/judo.
No se cual es Krav Maga y cual es Hapkido...
В Корее почти отсутствует криминал. Практики реального боя почти нету в отличии от Израиля. Если была бы практика то хапкидо сильно трансформировался.
Hapkido 100 %
Hapkido is a blend of jujitsu(not Brazilian), karate and either tang soo do or taekwondo
Both came from jujutsu
1:48 - worst axe kick I've ever seen.
Direct hapkido ou hapkimudo largement plus intéressant clefs..projections...etc ...krav maga ...ben vite fait le tour c est plus facile...efficace aussi qd même mais bon ...
Hapkimoodo is another variation of HapKiDo
Hay muchas escuelas de hapkido. Tecnicamente son parecidad, pero no iguales.
My school teaches both :)))))
Lol real krav maga is just mma with vale tudo philosophy along arms training 90% of civilian krav maga school are just bullshit. Hapkido just mix of akijutsu with old judo and tkd it seems spectacular but not so efficient.

Hapki!
Le puse no me gusta, no porque no me haya gustado el video, si no que por el hecho de que faltó información. En el hapkido tambien se ve todo tipo de goles, palancas, y como desarmar a alguien que quiere robar o hacer algun tipp de daño a alguien. Contra arma blanca y arma se fuego (cuchillos, pistola y escopeta).
Do not be fooled. Hapkido, like Krav Maga is a real world martial arts. Go to Korea and you will see.
So a make believe Krav scenario vs Hapkido dojo footage...
If they did some real sparring instead of compliance drills I see them as usefull
Hapkido and krav maga very god
Krav looks Frantic like there isnt any kind of skill involved
I've never done krav, but from what i've heard, it's less about style or technique, or anything like that, and more about being able to respond effectively to certain types of scenarios. They have drills and stuff, but they don't seem to focus on things like techniques or combos really like other martial arts do. It's about self defense usually more than trained combat. You don't work under the concept that either you or your opponent are skilled unarmed combatants. As a matter of fact i've been led to believe that one of the core principles is that you don't really try to have any preconceptions about the exact scenario you would use krav. It's supposed to be universal preparedness, or something akin to that.
Against an unskilled fighter krav works however they dont teach their people what to do when someone disrupts the flurry of attacks
@Harry Williams your right ufc 244 the last lead leg round knock out the guy threw a cross ol boy backed up an angled off to the inside and that lead round came up. Cancel Christmas🤣🤣🤣
@@porter-hkd4084 they do
Hapkido as a 3rd degree in it myself does not work well as a sport as the techniques are down right brutal it is like seeing karate in real life fights most of the techniques don't work well in a sport setting as they were designed to tear a human apart.
As grappler luta livre/bjj/catch/judo grappling work perfect with rules and can kill and tear apart a human being without rules.
@@oneguy7202 In Hap Ki Do, the last place you want to be is on the ground. In the real world, fights aren't often one on one, and if your on the ground, you have multiple people beating on you. That's not to discredit the other forms you mentioned. It's just a different philosophy of defence.
@@stuartspencer2161 slams suplex throws takedowns clinch all include in grappling, everyone can strike but no everyone can grapple
Krav Maga is just good karate technique, as is Hapkido without the tournament spinny flippy nonsense. It depends upon tje budoka.
The tournament "spinny flippy nonsense" is actually a defence versus wristlocks. Better to "flip" than suffer a radial fracture.
