Instructor Victor Marolf, began his martial arts journey over four decades ago in 1984, dedicating himself to the art of Hap Ki Doโa discipline emphasizing control, redirection, and defense over aggression. His education started with years of training in traditional martial arts classes, and he then also broadened his knowledge through engaging with other expert practitioners of various martial arts and incorporating their techniques into his arsenal. While in Las Vegas, he trained at Xtreme Couture Mixed Martial Arts, run by former UFC Hall of Fame member Randy Couture. Instruction there included boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiujitsu,
Mr. Marolfโs teaching philosophy centers on courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and an indomitable spirit. Each class balances tradition with practical self-defense to empower students both physically and mentally.
