Hapkido means the "Art of power coordination". This coordination of power is manifested in two ways: first and most important is the harmony between mind and body. To be able to function most effectively in a combat situation, to have good judgement and the confidence to use self-defense when you need it, one must have total control of both mind and body.

Hapkido is primarily defensive in nature, but it can be used for offense if absolutely needed. Many of its techniques are based upon an opponent's attack. Once the attack has been nullified, a devastating counterattack can be launched. Many times this is simultaneous with the attack.
