Can anyone help to verify if this Hapkido dojo is a true quality dojo or a Mcdojo.
the website is here: www.sydneyhapkido.com.au
website looks very nice but not sure if it's good school.
thanks for the help.

I'm going to go with no... there are plenty of other dojang's out there that would be better for you in my opinion. Not that having a ton of black belts is ultra important... but it says something when all you see is beginner belts. I would dig into this and even email the owner and ask of his past and who trained him. If he doesn't tell you, back off.

having a good website doesn't mean it's a good dojo.if you live in sydney theres a lot better ma you can do than krapkido.i'll add a previous answer on the bottom,have a read and look it up yourself before you waste your money.
A good well rounded style would be freestyle Karate.You will learn stand up,ground,grappling and weapons.What a lot of people don't understand is that freestyle Karate is about practical street defence not who can kick the highest or punch a pad the hardest.It's definitely not a sport martial art like TKD or BJJ.The motto of my style is the best of everything in progression.Basically that means we don't care where the technique comes from we improve it and integrate it into our style while still maintaining tradition as do most freestyle Karate's.
The hardest thing is finding a good experienced instructor.I would recommend Bushi Kai or Zen Do Kai, but if your not in Australia or New Zealand you may have some difficulty finding some one who teaches these styles.These styles also usually have separate classes available to everyone in Muay Thai and BJJ/Submission/Shoot wrestling.If you can't find one of these i would suggest Kempo or Enshin or another freestyle Karate.
