The two styles compliment each other very well, they are both Korean and many TKD grandmasters also have high ranks in Hapkido. However, I don't know why schools now say they offer both. Maybe it just has to do with the bad name TKD has in some circles?

When I get a chance I'll take some pics/video to illustrate the difference. TKD can fit with boxing, but I am not sure about MT. The major compromise that has to be made is with the regular fighting stance (TKD is very closed, boxing is very open).
