does anyone know of any schools that teach Hapkido in the california bay area that DOESN'T charge an arm and a leg for one-on-one Hapkido training?

I don't know of that specific area, but I would recommend checking out local Taekwondo schools, as many TKD schools also offer a Hapkido program as well. Usually, this is included in normal school fees for the TKD training.

I would not bother going to a taekwondo dojang for Hapkido. I know there are some good HKD schools in the bay area though, Jino Kang and Stephan Menache are in San Fran. Thier style is a little Aikido-ish, but they are good at it. Merril Jung is also around there. I he was one of Ji Han Jae's students. If you were in so cal I would have some recomendations for you though.

I agree with Gregory , as I am a Tae Kwon Do Instructor who does just that , but keep in mind that one on one training will usually cost a bit more even if the additional HapKiDo is included in regular class dues.

I had two instructors at my TKD dojang when I was there. One knew TKD the other, Hapkido. They would never mix teaching. They would tell me that very few masters worth learning from have done both. Usually its one or the other.
