My question is what does Hapkido have as in strikes, grappling, and weapons stuff?

Is this art very common?

Would a Muay Thai practitioner help or hinder?

Any answers would help.

Hapkido would probably compliment a Muay Thai practitioner very well. The pure striking of MT and the more heavy influence of joint locks, breaks, and throws in Hapkido would round you nicely.

Hapkido does still have kicks, hand strikes, elbows, etc. As your question infered, it does also teach some weapons, but I'm not sure at what level.

It's better known, but about as available as my art (Kuk Sool Won), which is closely related to Hapkido. If you can find a school of either near by, I highly recommend watching either one for a better idea.
