With joint locks, throws, punches, kicks, and grappling among other effective methods, Hapkido continues to be a very viable choice when it comes to which martial art to choose for your training. One of the tactics of Hapkido is to deflect an opponents attacks. The meaning of Hapkido translates to, “The way of coordination and internal power”.
Little wonder that we have students who excel at this discipline. We utilize weapons training, as well as long range and short range fighting techniques. The overall purpose is to maintain control, striking, and escaping methods against an opponent. Body positioning and leverage are incorporated in the training so that the use of brute strength is not a requirement. Once our students acquire the necessary Hapkido forms, speed is then perfected as an essential component to neutralizing the enemy.
If you have never even tried any type of martial art, no need to be anxious or stressed. Our instructors, and owner, Mr. Todd, are gifted with patience. You would never be singled out during class if you are struggling with any of the techniques. Due to our excellent training, and lifetime friendships created at our school, we have students who have been long term members.
We invite your questions, as well as a chance to try out classes before committing. Please feel free to stop by, or to call us at 850-936-8112
