Is hapkido training safe?
Well there is no denying that hapkido is a contact sport but every precaution is undertaken to avoid injuries. Before and after a hapkido class extensive warmup and stretching excercises are undertaken. New students will quickly learn how to breakfall properly on mats. Sparring is performed in a control manner normally “no contact”. Training in hapkido is all about “learning” not about “winning” and people work together to learn techniques.
