	Hapkido - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hapkido is the Korean pronunciation of (Japanese) aikido and is sometimes referred to as its Korean cousin.

		For example, if an opponent were to push against a hapkido student's chest, rather than resist and push back, the hapkido student would avoid a direct confrontation by moving in the same direction as the push and utilizing the opponent's forward momentum to throw him.
