Hapkido personality type is ENFP, which is the most extroverted of the 16 personality types.
"That's ENFP," says Bob Nease, author of "The Hapkido Personality." "They're sensorially oriented and highly intuitive, and they tend to be very creative and imaginative."
Nease has his own ENFP-Hapkido student and said he often notices other characteristics in Hapkido practitioners: They tend to be highly verbal and creative, and they're very analytical.
"It's sort of like an inner philosophy that they're applying those principles to the way they're doing Hapkido," he says.
One student, Alan Birkett, says that as a young boy he grew up in a military family and saw his father as Hapkido's role model. Birkett is an instructor at the Honolulu Dojo in Hawaii. He tells NPR that Hapkido was founded by Choi Hong Hi, a Korean war hero who became a monk after liberating his country from Japanese occupation. Choi also happened to teach at the same temple where his students were training in Hapkido.
Hapkido is a hybrid Korean martial art. It is a form of self-defense that employs joint locks, grappling, throwing techniques, kicks, punches, and other striking attacks.
