Well after my Aikido instructor moved I decided to take Hapkido because I heard alot of the joint locks and stuff were similar. What I mean by them being less refined is seemed like it was something that was seen and not actually studied.
I don't know if you have ever done things from a certain art with a person that never actually did it but had seen it demonstrated alot of times or not but that is what it was kinda like. I mean they knew the moves they just did not commit to them enough to have the amount of perfection that was actually meant to be demonstrated with the techniques.
The techniques are good just could be a little more refined to be a little more effective. Overall though I think Hapkido is the best all around Korean martial art because it is more in depth with different areas of a confrontation. Seems a little more realistic than TKD and TSD. Actually I have a couple buddies that do TSD that I have been trying to convince into coming to my BJJ class but they refuse so I tried to tell them they should take something a little more effective like Hapkido.
