Hapkido, like any martial art, must be practiced
seriously in order for students to attain understanding. However,
because of the way Hapkido is practiced (students take turns throwing each
other), communication and trust between classmates is necessary, both for
safety and feedback. Close friendships are forged in this atmosphere
that can last for years - Hapkido alumni spread across the world still
keep in touch with each other.
There are many scheduled and impromptu social events each semester that students are encouraged to attend.
