Hapkido is a traditional Korean martial art with a focus on joint locks, throws, pins, kicking and striking techniques. Known for its self defense applications and compatibility with other martial art styles, Hapkido is an excellent program for those wanting to learn a diverse self defense curriculum that helps them defend against and subdue an opponent.
One of Hapkido's core principles is using an attacker’s energy against them. Whether open handed or with a weapon, Hapkido uses counters, redirection, and striking to subdue the opponent and end the confrontation. Weapons training is an interwoven part of the curriculum, including defenses against and attacks with weapons such as the cane, baton, and knife.
There are no forms or competitive sparring involved in our Hapkido curriculum. Instead, our classes use repetition to strengthen techniques until they become a natural response. This is essential as Hapkido relies on precise movements to ensure proper application and effectiveness, especially during high-adrenaline self defense situations when it matters most.
