Ok first whats the like? and as far as it not being relative that is the point. Of taking two, so that I can learn one for one type of fighting and another for another type of fighting, I.E. One for ground fighting and the other for standing.
Now the part on kicking, don't be so strict on what I am looking to do. I dont mind striking, I just think I would enjoy practicing something that would be into join manipulation more but at the same time also practice striking. But you have to understand hapkido does not strike as much as boxing or MT. So I will get the best of both worlds and have fun doing it.
But If I get into a fight on the streets and I get pissed off, If I know only MT then I'm going really hurt the guy because my self control isn't as strong when I get in fights as most of the people on here, I would be the guy that would get into the fight after only a few words were said. In the end the dude is hurt and I don't feel like dealing with cops and lawyers trying to plee self defense.
On the other hand I could learn Hapkido and know how to do joint manipulation and also many take downs and submissions to stop my threat in a somewhat more peacefully manor then to beat the living crap out of them like I would With MT. But I also have the option to kick his head in if I have to. So I would much rather have the ability to do both rather then just one. And if I had the time to practice hapkido BJJ and MT then I would but for right now BJJ is my number one and Hapkido is my number two for the stated reasons? Does that make more sense?
