Personally having practiced both Sipalki and Hapkido can see your point, they are very, very similar.

The empty hand style in the Muyedobotongji is Taizu Chang Quan (Taizu Long Boxing), it was taken from the book Jixiao Xinshu written by General Qi Jiguang.
If I remember correctly, the only korean style in the book is Bon Kuk Gum (Shilla Kingdom Sword).
And it's impossible to recreate the style from the drawings... you have to know the style first.

When Grand Master Yoo immigrated to Argentina in 1970, he faced the same challenge many times, his answer was always "Come and fight". He never lost one fight.
