Chŏn-Tu Kwan “Combat Style” Hapkido (Combat Hapkido)
-- Chŏn-Tu Kwan Hapkido is ideal for those individuals (for example, many women, busy professionals and law enforcement officers) who do not have the time, desire or ability to commit themselves to the demanding study of a traditional Martial Art.
-- Chŏn-Tu Kwan Hapkido, also known as the Science of Self Defense, program prepares our students f

or rank advancement by extensively covering the curriculum required by the International Combat Hapkido Federation (ICHF).
-- Chŏn-Tu Kwan Hapkido is an extremely realistic and versatile discipline of self protection that includes an extensive variety of strikes, kicks, joint locks, pressure points, grappling and disarming techniques. The result is a practical, comprehensive self defense system that is enjoyable to learn, and produces effective results in realistic situations.
-- All the dynamic concepts are based on scientific principles of anatomy and biokinetics as well as psychology and strategy. It is well suited for men and women of all sizes because physical strength and athletic abilities are not essential. The emphasis is on redirecting the assailants’ aggression and power back toward them with little effort and minimum force on your part. Force Necessary Unarmed Combatives
-- Situation-Based Combat, Event-Driven Self-Defense, and Combat-Scenario Based.
-- The focus of unarmed combatives bridges the gap between urban, suburban, rural and battlefield fighting, survival and self-defense, military and police defensive tactics, and the best of martial arts.
-- Unarmed Combatives is a seamless application of all good tactics in all ranges of combat – standing, kneeling and prone.
-- Unarmed Combatives cover strategies and tactics in hand vs. hand, hand vs. knife, hand vs. stick, and hand vs. Level 1 (beginner) thru Level 10 (Black Belt) and beyond. The first nine levels prepare you for the 10th level which is a performance of many combat scenarios in all ranges of standing, kneeling, seated and prone-ground reality combat.
-- Unarmed Combatives covers the following:
1) Important strikes, kicks, grappling, survival ground fighting.
2) Preparatory advice on crime and survival.
3) De-escalation tools.
4) Skill developing exercises, skills and drills.
5) Non-classical, non-traditional, no katas, no sports, no kids, no contracts, no uniform.

Real-world self-defense.

Combat Hapkido is more than a martial art—it’s a practical system designed to help everyday people protect themselves with confidence. Through joint locks, pressure points, leverage, and situational awareness, students learn techniques that work in real-life situations, not just in theory.

Training builds strength, focus, and resilience while developing the mindset needed to stay calm and in control under pressure. Whether you’re new to martial arts or expanding your skills, Combat Hapkido offers a powerful path to personal safety and growth.

Train with purpose. Move with confidence. Protect with skill.
