  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hapkido &lt;/strong&gt;is a Korean &lt;strong&gt;martial art&lt;/strong&gt; which translates to &amp;quot;the way of coordinating energy&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;the way of coordinated power&amp;quot;. It is a blend of ki (mind force) and external (physical) techniques, with the physical moves being structured around circular movements to use the opponents force against them.&lt;br /&gt;   &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Hapkido &lt;/strong&gt;is a very well rounded &lt;strong&gt;martial art &lt;/strong&gt;and its practitioners learn to defend themselves against untrained attacks or attacks from other &lt;strong&gt;martial arts styles&lt;/strong&gt;. By covering this broad range of skills, &lt;strong&gt;Hapkido &lt;/strong&gt;practitioners learn to use joint locks, kicks, punching, throwing, and pressure point strikes to defend themselves.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Like in Tae Kwon do and other Korean &lt;strong&gt;martial arts&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Hapkido &lt;/strong&gt;stylists will be trained physically, for endurance, power and speed, but there is still a strong ki influence, which goes into generating strength from the mind rather than through the body.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
