Yea, I know a little about the history of Hapkido. You know I don't think it was every actually proven that Master Choi had martial arts instruction. He was a servant for Sokaku Takeda when he was a boy and spent alot of time watching him do Daito Ryu Aikijujitsu. Sokaku was the instructor of guy by the name of Morihei Ueshiba (better known as the founder of Aikido). It has never been actually proved that Choi was ever a student of Sokaku though.
You cannot deny the relation that Hapkido has to some of the older forms of ju-jitsu though being that it's origins come from Daito Ryu Aikijujitsu.
