Hey dudes,
this is my first post.
This I the martial art I study, the vovinam style i similar to hapkido in its application, lots of elbows, joint locks, striking techniques. But what makes Vovinam Vovinam is its leg techniques. Lots of grappling using the legs.

welll i researched it a bit, seems to be like a mix of hapkido and muay thai to be honest, elbows and knees from muaythai, and the quick take downs of hapkido, this looks like a great one on one style, donno about 1 vs 2. the punches are pretty quick as well i hear, much like JKD's concept. thats all i know.

VOVINAM was founded by Great Grand Master Nguyen Loc in 1938 based on ancient Vietnamese Martial Arts. It is not a mixed martial art like somebody think of. Hapkido is a mixed between Japanese and Korean martial arts (rooted by Tibet's Buddhist Monk called Bodidharma).

A History of Hapkido

Here is a short history of VOVINAM which I think the most accurate one:
