[SnowTiger]

Do you know anything about this style?I`ve heard that it is pretty well rounded and effective.I know that it is all about the person,not the style,but what do you think about Han Moo Do?I`m planning on taking it.

Yes, Han Moo Do can be effective. It is very complicated and vast style, however it's still quite new and still developing. Han Moo Do is very close to Tolkido (They have the same grandmaster if I remember right). You can check the video clips at www.hanmoodonet.com (http://www.hanmoodonet.com)
It's a korean art, so expect a lot of kicking techniques. I don't practise HMD by the way, but I've read articles and watched video clips of the art. I'm a taekwondo practisioner.

It is a style that combines all of the ethnic and modern korean martial arts, pretty nasty stuff they have. They have fantastic breakfalls, locks and kicks, somewhat like hapkido. I have seen a demostration and class conducted for han moo do, but back in Singapore, they call it han mu do. If you are in Singapore, pop by Tanglin Community Centre, they are conducted there plus other other martial arts.
