uuh, I found this homepage: http://www.hopak.org.ua/ I hope you can read it

Aah, it says here that it's actually an Ukrainian folk dance, not a martial art. I'd suggest you take up Morris Dancing instead :)

Actually I already know that web site. And It is a martial art, made out of dance.

Interesting. From the pics I saw, it seemed to resemble Capoeira or Wushu, with the handstands and stuff. Anything like it?

Yah. It is a martial art developed from a dance.

Where does it say it's a Ukrainian folk dance? You can't read Ukrainian...

Two Diffrent things:
1) Hopak (Folk Dance)
2) Fightible Hopak (Martial Art)
