A two-grid finite element approximation is studied in the fully discrete scheme obtained by discretizing in both space and time for a nonlinear hyperbolic equation. The main idea of two-grid methods is to use a coarse-grid space ($S_H$) to produce a rough approximation for the solution of nonlinear hyperbolic problems and then use it as the initial guess on the fine-grid space ($S_h$). Error estimates are presented in $H^1$-norm, which show that two-grid methods can achieve the optimal convergence order as long as the two different girds satisfy $h$ = $\mathcal{O}$($H^2$). With the proposed techniques, we can obtain the same accuracy as standard finite element methods, and also save lots of time in calculation. Theoretical analyses and numerical examples are presented to confirm the methods.
