Hapkido MMA literally translated: Hap means "coordination of harmony," Ki means "the essence of power," and Do means "the art" - in short, "the Way of Coordinated Power."

The essence of Hapkido MMA is to gain the advantage through technique, avoiding the use of strength against strength. For example, if the attack is strong, one must receive it gently. If the attack is gentle, one must counter it powerfully. Re-directing your opponent's attack makes this style more suitable for students who's size and strength are less than average, as they are not required to meet an attacker head on.

Hapkido Mixed Martial Arts instills in its practitioners a sense of Morality, Dignity and SelfRespect, along with the physical development and mental well-being. Regardless of the age of the practitioner, the true spirit of Hapkido enables one to develop respect for his\her fellow man by physical and mental growth, and most importantly to develop a Perfection of Character. Since the students constant pursuit is directed toward the perfect Control of Mind and Body, and since his whole attitude is based on Peace and Harmony with others, he will Never Advocate Violence nor look for trouble. When an individual has true confidence in himself, he can be polite and respectful to others. He does not have to show off. He can act with Humility and dignity. His physical strength and mental energy can be used for constructive causes such as helping others and improving Society. Sustained by a sense of Pride, Self-Respect, and inner-Peace, we strive for victory over our own Weaknesses. To Conquer Fear, to know True Honor, and to develop the courage to Refuse Failure is our real goal. The respect we seek is our own. The victory that we seek is to Conquer Ourselves.

Hapkido uses diversion or suppression and combines skeletal joint locks, pressure points, throws, kicks, and strikes for self-defense. The Hapkido practitioner uses their attacker's power against him. Hapkido MMA emphasizes circular motion, non-resistive movements, and control of the opponent. Hapkido MMA's reputation for powerful kicking, as in most all Korean styles, is well documented. Although, Hapkido MMA contains both outfighting and infighting techniques, the goal in most situations is to get inside for a close-in strike, lock, or throw. Submission or finishing techniques are used to control the attacker once they reached the ground this is also know as (verbal judo).

Many Hapkido MMA techniques are unsuitable for use in sparring, as their use would result in injury, even when protective gear is used. Sparring is available, but emphasizes the use of proper body alignment and timing exercises through kicking and punching techniques.
