| I recommend training in the best style for you that is available in your area. Once you get to first or second degree it will be much easier to train long distance. At that point you might be able to train once a week or so and will have an easier time finding a training partner locally who also wants to learn long distance. |

Yeah I would say do what is local. In time you may have a chance to do others. But 200miles is a lot for anyone.

If you are really that set on learning Hapkido, moving might be your best option. Otherwise, train locally, and maybe something will come your way.
You never know, you might meet someone training locally that has some Hapkido experience, and you could work out with them.

If you can work a deal like that, it may be a good thing for you. However, it will depend on the demographics of the area you are marketing. There may be a reason there is no school there right now.

It depends on how much prior experience you have with the Martial Arts, and joint manipulation in general. There are a lot of nuances that you can't see and don't get explained in videos that you will miss. Those things come with time and experience.
You could always try it and see, but you will need a training partner, and you will have to be careful not to hurt your parnter. Having an instructor is always the highly recommended route to take, though.
