Hapkido is a complete martial art in that it consists of: dynamic striking and kicking techniques, very similar to Tae Kwon Do, both hard and soft style deflection techniques, throws, takedowns, ground-fighting, and extensive joint locking techniques.
Hapkido is a Korean martial art oriented to street fighting or defensive tactics rather than competitive or sports oriented training.
In 1969, Master Ji was brought to the United States to teach Hapkido to FBI and Secret Service agents, and other officials.

Modern Hapkido employs throws in a selected and limited manner that does not require any unusual strength to execute its techniques.
Grandmaster Choi and Suh, Bok Sup continued train together and give demonstrations and Hapkido gained in popularity and respect.
Certainly Hapkido would not be what is today without him; however, Master Ji, Han Jae himself gives much of the credit to Grandmaster Choi, Young Sool (1904-1986) for the creation of Hapkido.
It is interesting to note, that Hapkido is not organized under the KTA, ITF or WTF, perhaps the only Korean art with this unique status.
