Hapkido is a modern electic Korean martial art. In the 1950's this art spread around the Korean peninsula and later across the world. The art teaches a wide arsenal of self defense techniques like joint locking techniques, kicks, strikes, throws and weaponary.
Hankido is a martial art founded by the late grandmaster Myung Jae Nam. Myung Jae Nam was already an established hapkido master when he started the development of hankido. Where hapkido techniques already follow the principles of using your opponent's enegry to neutralize him, hankido takes these principles even further. Hankido utilizes soft and circular techniques in which you harmonize yourself with your opponent.
Hankumdo is a Korean sword art that teaches students different strikes and combinations of strikes by following the Korean alphabet, hangul. This makes it easier for Koreans to learn how to use the sword and for foreigners it is an interesting way to learn more about the Korean language and culture. Study of hankumdo also provides students with better insight into the principles of (armed) combat.
