Norge,
Hapkido is a good martial art. Think of it as a blend of Aikido & Tae Kwon Do. Start the training with an open mind and see if it "fits" you. When I say "fit", I'm referring to your personality/beliefs and body type. Despite what some may say, not one martial art is either the ultimate or the best there is. Keep in mind that there are 3 fighting distances; long distance/kicking distance, medium distance/punching distance, and short distance/grappling distance. It would be to your best interest to cover all distances. The martial art style does not make the person.....the person makes the martial art. In other words, a martial art is only as good as the student. And most of all, the concept of a technique is more important than the technique itself. Afterall, you'll be training/studying/fighting different people of various sizes and styles. With that said, a particular technique can't apply itself to all those variables. But the concept behind the technique can and will apply itself to any variable. Hope that helps.....excuse the long post.
