Combat Kido International: Where Tradition Meets Real-World Combat
Combat Kido International is an internationally recognized organization offering a modern and highly effective approach to martial arts. While the style is deeply rooted in the traditional Korean martial art of Hapkido, it has been meticulously evolved into a specialized combat system.
The Essence of the Style
Combat Kido is more than just a collection of techniques; it is a dynamic system where the fluidity and versatility of Hapkido are integrated with a more aggressive, direct, and combat-oriented application. This style is designed for those who prioritize:
Practicality: Techniques refined for real-world self-defense and conflict resolution.
Efficiency: Streamlined movements focused on results rather than aesthetics.
Global Standards: A system backed by international certification and prestige.
The Founder: Grandmaster Maidu Niitmets
At the helm of Combat Kido International is Grandmaster (GM) Maidu Niitmets, whose lifelong dedication and expertise form the foundation of the organization.
30+ Years of Experience: GM Niitmets has dedicated over three decades to the martial arts, mastering various disciplines.
Hapkido Specialist: For the past 20 years, he has specialized in the Korean martial art of Hapkido, earning the status of an internationally certified Master and Instructor.
Global Recognition: In 2025, in Rome, Italy, GM Niitmets was honored with the prestigious SPARTAN HALL OF WARRIOR Platinum Award. This high-level accolade confirms his mastery and significant contribution to the global martial arts community.
