Our children’s program gives kids an opportunity to learn the basic skills of our unique discipline; including breakaways, simple joint locking, defenses against strikes and grabs, fundamental ground combat skills, technical concepts and principles of Hapkido. We teach using fun games, drills and exercises, keeping each child involved and motivated during class. While learning these important skills, students are also developing coordination, self control, and are taught to identify the proper time to use Hapkido.

Teen and adult classes build upon the same foundation skills, adding technically advanced moves and introducing basic weapons tactics as well as ways to deflect weapon attacks. Centralized around the techniques of joint locking and manipulation, trapping maneuvers and simplified ground grappling are also included in our curriculum.

Our women's self defense program concentrates on practical, hands-on preparation for real life situations. Preparing, and knowing how to repel an assailant is essential. No one ever thinks it could happen to them. Unfortunately, today's headlines make it clear that we need to be responsible about our personal safety, and have the training to react properly in a dangerous situation.
