Hapkido is a comprehen
sive martial art with a strong self defence focus that incorporates striking, a powerful arsenal of kicks ranging from low to high, locks, throws, take-downs and weapons – both traditional and practical. With a wide range of techniques and the 3 unpinning principals of 1) harmony 2) water and 3) circular movement, Hapkido is an effective and adaptable martial art. Hapkido allows the practitioner to build their personal repertoire of techniques and strategies that best suits their body type, strengths/weakness and temperament. Hapkido incorporates the discipline, respect and etiquette of traditional martial arts with the effectiveness of a modern and practical self defence system. WELLBEING

Our classes also incorporate meditation to help focus the mind, develop mindfulness and awareness (from a martial arts / self defence perspective) and to put into practice day to day to contribute to the individual's general wellbeing.
