Korean Martial ArtsDiscuss Korean style martial arts here - Hapkido, Hwa Rang Do, Jidokwan, Kuk Sool Won, Kumdo, Soo Bahk Do, Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do, Yudo
I think Korean martial arts have clean look and fantasic kicks.
Do I prefer it? It depends on what I'm training for. If my concentration is on kicks, definitely. If I wanted to conctrate on punching or grappling, probably not.

You need to expand your knowledge of korean martial arts KUK Sool WON HWA RANG do or some of the most indepth arts on grappling and punching some,history to korean arts leads to the impact on other asian styels read into the history of martial arts,and alot of them refer to the korean styels
KSW and HRD might also have grappling and others, but they are not the main emphasis of the styles.
BJJ, for example, have emphasis on grappling, even though they also have kicks and punches.
All I'm saying is it should depend on what someone is looking to get out of training. Your question was 'prefer', not 'think is the best'.

I have utmost respect for martial arts traditions and their origins, styles, history, etc.
However, sometime I think people put too much emphasis on the subject rather than on the practicality of techniques. If you are facing someone one on one, the other person does not care which style you stuided. The most effective technique is the most important technique.

Yes you are right that was my question and im sorry if I answerd that in anyway to offend you , I only tryied to say that not all korean arts are kicks yes ksw does have kicks but the emphasis is on on grappilng joint locks kicks are a part of it but ksw is focused on joint locks and strikes of the fist hand and palm
Out of the 3 you study, Which one do you like the best and why? And what are some the simularities and differences? I like Tang Soo Do. I would like to learn hapkido for the locks and holds. Also, I hear that Hwa Rang Do is a real intense art.

I think it depends on their goals. Some people want all that tradition and information rather than practicality of techniques.

If you are interested in locks and holds, I would do a grappling art like bjj. Most of the joint locks in hapkido are done standing, making them very hard to pull off, not only that, but most of them are wrist locks. You dont need to learn 60 ways to lock a wrist.
I think the greatest korean martial art is Tae Kyeon, but no one practices it! Im learning a little from my teacher, it looks like dancing heehee
