We teach Hapkido (Korean for "the way of harmonious energy" or "the way of coordinator power") to students at all levels. Hapkido is a diverse martial art which combines "hard" linear techniques such as strikes, block, punches, and kicks with "soft" circular techniques such as take downs, off-balancing, and throws. Hapkido might be described as the Korean version of Jiu-Jitsu, blending the dynamic Tae-Kyon kicking styles of ancient Korea with twentieth-century Daito-Ryu Aiki-Jutsu.
