In Our School We Focus All Our Classes to Help Improve
Hapkido is the art and science of self-defence, blending a dynamic range of punches and kicks with sweeps, thrusts, and a mix of soft and hard hand techniques. It also emphasises throws and intricate joint and wrist locks, creating a comprehensive and adaptable skill set for any self-defence scenario.
Compared to the direct, powerful strikes of Karate, the athletic focus of Kickboxing, the ground-oriented grappling of Jiu-Jitsu, and the sport-focused kicks of Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido’s blend of circular, redirection-based techniques and joint manipulation sets it apart as a well-rounded defensive art.
Hapkido is founded on three core principles, enabling practitioners to turn an opponent’s force back upon them. This unique approach makes Hapkido a highly accessible and effective type of self-defense that anyone can utilise. It is a great martial art for beginners right through to advanced.
We also offer private lessons, full time training, instructor courses, and special seminars to improve and expand your knowledge.
