Hi, Jason. Welcome to the forum.manoffaith77 said:It is hard but not impossable to practice and learn the art of Hapkido at home yourself. I suggest getting as many books on korean arts as you can study from. Many of these are integrated into Hapkido. What you can do is try to go to as many Korean Schools as possable and take thier trial classes which usually last a week. There you can get an instructors instruction on basics and go from there. The important hing in training this way is to learn the principals of the techniques. There you can take these principals and apply them into the things you are learning from the books. Also invest in some videos. This way you can see the correct technique and compare what you are doing with that. There will be much you cant learn but much you can as well. However, there is nothing like training under a qualified instructor of the art. As for the Art of Aikido, I think that would be virtually impossable as you need a Uke and Nage for almost everything.

I don't know anything about martial arts, so I'll step out now.
Just wanted to say hello. I'm sure you'll enjoy being here.
