'''Hapkido''' is a [[South Korea|South Korean]] [[martial art]] founded in 1948 by [[Choi Yong Sul]]. It is eclectic, focusing on throws, strikes, joint-locking techniques, and defensive skills.
Hapkido is similar to [[aikido]], even having the same name in [[Chinese characters]]. However, there are several things which distinguish hapkido from aikido, namely the fact that aikido is more of a defensive art, while hapkido is more offensive. However, hapkido comes from [[Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu]], the parent martial art of aikido.
