    I think this may have done better in the Korean forum but why not post it here? It seems to me that Hapkido and Japanese Jujitsu are similar? Anyone with any opinion?

    Hapkido came from aiki-jujitsu, right?
    And that's just a particular style of jujitsu, right?
    :dunno: Works for me. Of course there are similarities.

    You will find there are many similarities between Korean and Japanese Arts.

    There are only so many ways a joint can be manipulated, a kick or punch thrown, A throw made....

    We humans just put different names on them .. and that makes it a martial arts system .

    Of course there are similarities ...and perhaps the subtle differences that individual instructors have passed on to their students and them to theirs ..

    Every instructor will have techniques they favour and hence will be really proficient at ..and have those they dont like and in all truth rarely practice or teach ..

    I think first we need to look at what you mean by jujutsu?

    I know I keep harping on about it but it's a generic term that can cover a range of styles, which can have a number of different outlooks and approaches.

    Now can the same be said of Hapkido? Sorry I know very little about it.

    Like Smurf said in one respect there are only so many ways an arm will bend and only so many that make combative sense.

    Difference will be due to necessity and the cultural background of the art.

    If you are dealing with armoured opponents and are wearing armour then you probably won't be feeling like doing jumping back spin kicks.

    If there are weapons involved then your grappling will take that into account.

    Hapkido was formed by combining Japanese jujutsu techniques with striking techniques. That's not really doubted. That is why there are similarities, one is a partial copy of the other.

    At times I get amused when others think ALL JJ is grappling and contains no striking

    My bastardized JJJ has some striking in it. Most common are jabs/crosses/reverse punch, and kicks (mostly front and sometimes round), knee's and palm strikes. Less commonly used but still incorporated are elbows, precision strikes to throat/temple, hooks, and pressure points. Most of our stuff though is throwing, joint locks, and parrying/entering. Granted though, I'm drawing only from 3 months worth of experience.

    It's the nature of JJJ. The art is full of more drop outs from other systems than any other art known to man. LOL My sensei used to call it Hatta.

    Not only does it have drop outs, it has drop on floors
