Tactical Hapkido or Chon Sul Kwan Hapkido is "a conceptually driven, systematic approach to the way of coordinating energy in a tactical training environment". ^[1] This style is a non-traditional form of hapkido. It is 'tactical' hapkido because it teaches students skills to use when attacked or forced into combat situations. However, unlike traditional hapkido, tactical hapkido does not emphasize strict stances or forms and allows the student to do what is most effective. ^[2]
