Hapkido

Hapkido is a Korean system of self-defense and self-improvement. Incorporating a vast assortment of techniques, this style is one of the most comprehensive martial arts. A Hapkido student studies kicks, strikes, pressure points, joint manipulations, throws and a wealth of other martial skills, while gaining the added benefits of self-confidence, conditioning and an appreciation for living a healthy lifestyle.

Hapkido does not involve competition techniques or katas. Instead, a student develops an arsenal of moves designed to control an opponent through compliance with pain and providing a non-injuring alternative as the first line of defense. The primary goal is to end the fight as quickly and efficiently as possible.

A very relaxed, free-flowing style, Hapkido relies more on spontaneous reflexive action and the ability to adapt to a given situation as opposed to a series of rigid stances and impractical moves to be memorized.
