Ah thanks.
Im not sure Hapkido fits into that term...although it is old. My perseption of alot of martial arts is that they adhere to very strict traditions. The only tradition in Hapkido is to do everything as efficiently as possible. While we were practising Self Defence Master Kim said 'if it is uncomfortable: its wrong and if they dont hurt: its wrong'.
Hapkido was founded by Grand Master Choi, who died only resently. Hapkido dates back ages but is very modernised in many repects.
