Ranis - my first question would be what is the instructors lineage with hapkido? what is his ranking in HKD? What org does he belong to? You raise a good question some TKD ppl will make false claims about HKD becuase they learn a technique or 2 here and there.

in addition to the break falls are throws and locks (arm, wrist, etc) being taught. if you don't see that it probably is not true HKD


Also, do you mean "yellow" belt...you start as white
