Hapkido is well known for its practical self defense skills such as engaging pressure points, utilizing joint locks, and implementing effective strikes. Our experienced instructors help students become adaptive to different situations, and escape dangerous ones when possible. With consistent training and practice, the student can understand how strength is not required when a technique is utilized competently.

Learning martial arts is both a challenging and enjoyable way to improve overall health. Enrolling in Hapkido training allows students to exercise both their minds and bodies, keeping them healthy and preventing illness. As Hapkido students continue their training, their stamina and endurance will increase both physically and mentally. With this increased activity, they will build their physical fitness, and broaden their skills to master techniques, leaving them inspired to persevere.
-
Students will often practice with other students and engage in team activities during their Hapkido training. These activities help students learn how to work well with others, be a friend, and lend a helping hand to those who need it. By practicing effective communication and compassion for others, students build interpersonal skills that they can take outside of the Hapkido class environment, such as within academic or social settings.

The benefits of Hapkido training do not end in the classroom. All of the skills that a student acquires during their training will boost their confidence and ability to succeed in other areas of life. Whether it be academic, extracurricular, or social settings, the valuable life lessons learned through Hapkido will encourage resilience and serve as a positive influence for all teens and adults.
Hapkido is a complete martial art that teaches how to unbalance an opponent through striking and/or grappling and use that advantage to take the opponent down and finish the fight. It can be ruthless and efficient, but also lends itself to elegant techniques that require finesse and attention to detail.
