Korean MA's are pretty unique in the class of TMA's. They are so diverse - from heavy kicking arts (TKD), to more karate like (Tang Soo Do) and then there are the other arts that look like they borrow a great deal from Shaolin, Jujitsu, Aikido (like your art, HWD) to those that are strictly focused on combat (HKD, TKMS).

Quality is like you suggested, kuk sool. You have Korean Martial Artists that have attained a great deal of control, dedication and application of their arts and can fight rather well to the soccer moms who go to brown belt barely geting down the basics of the ahp chagi.
