Hapkido is a martial art which has taken a back seat in popularity to its Korean counterpart, Taekwondo, however, it is a very versatile martial art which has had influences from Chinese and Japanese martial arts. Among the many concepts featured in Hapkido are hand strikes, pressure point attacks, throws, joint locks, kicks, and even some weapons based training. For example, it is one of the very few martial arts that makes use of the cane. The versatility of this martial art is much like the Japanese art of Jujitsu.
