Hapkido is VERY different to TKD. Hapkido shares kicks but the self defence aspects are much more refined and there arent any patterns etc. Hapkido should cover everything, so its logically going to be limited at ground fighting compaired to BJJ.
Also, like Hapkidoist said, the philosophy of Hapkido is to get out of fights; so prolonged ground fighting is avoided.
My instructor holds a 6th dan in Hapkido and is a representative of the Hapkido federation, we can compare techniques if you like...i think that would be interesting.
