Combat Hapkido is an
extremely realistic and versatile discipline of self protection
that includes an extensive variety of strikes, kicks, joint locks,
pressure points, grappling, controlling motions and disarming techniques.
The result is a practical, comprehensive Self Defense system that
is enjoyable to learn and that produces effective results in realistic
situations.
Combat Hapkido's
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.
Founding this system
did not involve "inventing" the techniques. It was a matter of selecting
the most realistic, effective and practical ones, modifying others
and then combining and arranging these techniques in a structured
system of instruction designed for individuals of all physical abilities
living in a modern society.
The essence of
Combat Hapkido is pure Self Defense. It is the synthesis of dynamic
concepts, scientific principles, realistic applications and plain
common sense.
Combat Hapkido is
the result of over 3 decades of study, research and development.
This comprehensive system is now taught in hundreds of schools in
the US and a dozen foreign Countries. Combat Hapkido can stand alone
and be taught as a complete system or it can be added as a separate
program to any traditional Martial Arts curriculum
Combat Hapkido is
for sincere and open minded students and Instructors who are serious
about wanting to grow and evolve to a new level of understanding
and ability.
Combat Hapkido can
be easily integrated into any program because it complements and
blends well with most Martial Arts.
Combat 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.
