In a world that has a true need for effective self defence and discipline I will always keep the self defence aspect of martial arts at the forefront. The further a martial art goes towards a sport the less effective it becomes in real life. Now don’t get me wrong a good combat sports athlete will almost always have an advantage over the untrained.

However as a martial arts becomes more sport the techniques become more and more specific to that sport. The more niche they become the less range of techniques are used.

For example do I need to know a 540 whip kick for self defence. Or a berimbolo. Probably not. But if I have strong basic strikes good basic grappling and a understanding of weopons will I be more well rounded across a variety of situations than if I’d just focused on one aspect? Definatly!

Thats where systems like hapkido come into effect. A well rounded holistic style with self defence as its primary focus.

I am so happy and excited to be returning to my roots and teaching my interpretation of this magnificent style.

Mst Phil’s Hapkido.

Some people truly have issue with individual thought! Some people just flat out steal intellectual property.

Don’t be that person.
