I dont think I have ever seen anyone in the UFC, K-1, or Pride or any of the other full contact organizations thats comes from a Hapkido background. I was wondering how do you think someone with a strong base in Hapkido who has also trained in Muay Thai and BJJ would do in these events?

Im not sure about other Hapkido schools but in ours we are also taught how to throw the opponent off a kick. I havent really seen that in any other Hapkido schools except maybe 1. Our defense against kicks really work well with the TKD guys, and other karate or whatever. My Muay Thai trainer told me in advance that those types of sweeps and throws werent allowed in Muay Thai so I dont use them in Muay Thai.

So what do you guys think?
