We teach classes Mondays and Thursdays - reach out for more information. About Hybrid Hapkido
Hybrid Hapkido is the result of Master Peart’s 30+ years of martial training in various arts. It is a concepts and principals base art driven by layering from the students themselves. You will learn not only the kicking and punching, the joint-locks and throws, but also what we call "soft skills" th
ese include: breathwork, body awareness, range of motion, situational awareness, opponent postural analysis, meditation, energy work, and a host of others. Our School’s current curriculum is designed around the student and their abilities allowing the best for the individual to be brought out. We wish to put the Self back into Self Defense. About Master "Coach" James Peart
I was born in 1976 in Madison WI. I found I had a passion for martial arts at the early age of 6 years old. Learning American Kenpo and Tae Kwon Do into my teens, I branched out to study a wider array of systems. Finding my first love with the now defunct R.B.W.I. was my real introduction to unarmed and ancient weapon combat as well as fieldcraft. From there I found Hapkido, a traditional Korean combat art, encompassing both empty hand and weapons. After a short stint in the U.S. Army I was back at it finding a modern version of Hapkido as well as Kali (a Filipino art based on weapons first and empty hand after). Now, 40 years after the beginning of the journey, I have explored many arts, some for the dynamic, some for the practicality, but all have had an influence. My Ranks include:
